Notes from an engineer: cutting a large hole in the elastic webbing of a folding camping chair will destabilize it. It's not going to hold weight properly except maybe for a toddler. Dangerous, possibly messy. Do not recommend.
What might be better is a camping toilet. It is basically a five gallon bucket with a plastic bag and the toilet ring. It is a similar idea but very solid.
Haha, I just made that comment, myself! That was the first thing I thought, imagining that poor woman trying to pull her pregnant self up out of the fiasco her husband “crafted” for her!
Not to say you couldn't make the chair. You just need to properly finish the edge of the hole with a heavy-duty nylon strap to prevent the hole from spreading. I recommend you do that at home with a sewing machine instead of in the woods with an idiot.
@@johnrinck617 Eh, I disagree. I don't think that there is enough material left after that kind of cutting to actually support weight on the chair frame properly. Those kind of camping chairs rely on even weight distribution to stay stable and destroying the woven material ruins its ability to transmit forces evenly.
thats what the buckets are for
I love how the husband keeps trying to help her in the stupidest ways ever.
Guess she married him for his looks, not his brains!
@@ZeniaRose LOL yeah
I'm guessing she's pregnant because he tried a ridiculous "life hack" instead of a condom
@@shannonforsberg4118 that's the best theory I've ever heard
I know. idk about any of the hacks but I’m totally here for the guy’s adorable himbo energy.
There are elastic shoe lace replacements that can turn any laced shoe into a slip on. They cost about $10, and are probably much sturdier than child hair elastics.
Yes! They're great!
Can you share a link to them?
@@trilliane yeah. They’re probably hair ties.
Oh well... Elastic bands are cheaper than $10 laces
I run a shoe store honestly you can get elastic cut to length at any craft store most shoes follow 27, 36, 45, or 54 in depending on how many eyelets you have
I screamed when she vacuumed that book and just dragged it over by its cover!! Book crime!
Damnnnnn
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringed at the sacrilege.
Hey Dr. Jones. In case no one has said it recently thank you for everything you do! Making content while working such a demanding job. You are superwoman in my eyes
Not to mention having 4 small children to take care of. Amazing woman!
Your husband is lucky
The RC broom one: You know else would be really helpful? Not using a Shorthandled hand broom nor a shorthandled dust Pan. I'm not even pregnant and I have both of a regular broom and a dust pan that has a long handle. I don't have to do any bending.
i have one of these because im lazy to bend over cleaning up all the dirt created by my bunnies. Also useful because i have some issues with my muscles
OMG, YES! That was my first thought when I saw her with the hand brush and "regular dust pan". I use a long handled dust pan all of the time.
The vacuum they used to get the books also would have worked.
Yes, Dustpan on a Stick!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I'm just thankful that I don't have to actually be pregnant to enjoy the miracle that is a pregnancy pillow
YASS, Queen! YASSSSSSSSSSŚ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡
Well then I'm off to Amazon to buy one right now. Love pillows!
Are there any fun and/or cute patterned ones?
As a chronically ill person I second this with much enthusiasm!
My husband legitimately tried to claim dibs on my pregnancy pillow for after I’d delivered our first.
I just wanna say one thing about the toy car sweeping, I think thats actualy a brilliant way to make a young child interested in cleaning, turning chores into a game always helps (also where I live we have detachable broom heads so you wouldn't actualy destroy a broom doing that) 99.9% of these hack videos are useless but I think atleast that one could be fun XD
I immediately thought the same thing. I'm gonna try this with my 6 year old nephew!
My toddler loves helping with sweeping and vacuuming and always wants to do it himself, but maybe older kids might need more incentive.
Not gonna lie I almost want to do this for myself.
@@pepperdee7437 We actually tried it with our remote controlled cars - but they're too fast and not precise enough. It ended up more like a monster truck play fight - but we did have great fun 😅
Despite Dr Jones doubting my ability to learn something from this madness, I did. I learned that the people at 5min Crafts must have never ever learned how to speak.
It’s probably because the actors come from multiple different countries and don’t have a shared language that enables speaking? That or five minute craps is too lazy to create meaningful dialogue for their content farm? Or both.
@Martha Hawkinson-Michau I think it's to appeal to an international audience without the expense of translators and subtitles. Plus, they don't have to try to describe the nonsense they're doing and can add the annoying music over the top instead.
@@hannahk1306 that too
They need a life hack for that.
@@Mike90317 they would just make a stupid and ridiculous life hack….
I was training for a sprint triathlon just before my second pregnancy. Stretchy Tri laces are the way of the future for late pregnancy
Stretchy laces were the only way I could wear supportive shoes with my SPD last year.
stretchy laces saved my ass during pregnancy but ALSO before & after because my right foot is misshapen so stretchy laces make the shoes fit my feet much more comfortably.
This husband's acrobatics in the wilderness is just gold.
If it's on 5-Minute Crafts, it's junk, or impractical, or actually dangerous. I'm glad people debunk them though. And what's wrong with Dad proactively cleaning up toddler messes by himself? And I love a standing dustpan, those things are so helpful.
Yes!!!!
Second that standing dustpan. Game changer, especially when we got hardwood floors and were sweeping all the heckin time.
that's why we call it 5-Minute Crap.
I recomend the channel "How to cook that", although it''s a cooking channel she went lengst to debunk and fight this dangerous contend farm that own 5 minutes crap and toom toom and others 200 channels.
Bwhaha. 5 minute crafts never disappoints. That last one though: when I was pretty early in pregnancy with my 1st baby I asked my obgyn if I could go salmon fishing (when I’d be around 7 1/2-8 months pregnant.) she didn’t advice it. Then came 7 1/2-8 months pregnant and I just laughed at myself thinking I’d want to tread through woods, hike potentially, and wade in water while wrestling massive fighting fish. 😂😂
Due to my autism, I had bad hand-eye coordination for a long time, but sneakers were part of the school dress code, so I used to wear slip-on shoes with elastic strings until I finally learned to tie my shoes the summer before 7th grade.
I love that you included "in whatever way she normally communicates" and didn't assume she would use spoken language! That's very thoughtful!
It looks like 5 minute kraft means "whatever simple things you might do in 30 seconds can easily be extended to 5 minutes"
Or longer.
A lot of the hacks seemed to be aimed at making the pregnant person not need to use their full range of motion (remaining, at least). My husband was quite willing to grab things, tie my laces or whatever, but I found the more I moved, the better? Like, I tied my own damn bootlaces on the way out the door to the hospital--sat on the bottom stair, squatted wide as hell and could reach my laces. I really think I would have been in much worse shape if I had allowed everybody else to move for me.
I was thinking the same thing.
I believe she said that some light exercise during pregnancy was actually beneficial in another video.
Every person is different. I'm in my third trimester, and I make it a point to not sit around all day. I cook, clean, go for walks, etc. However, I avoid most activities that involve bending or squatting, as much as I can anyways. The bending because of my horrendous back pain, which I've had for years and only gets exacerbated by pregnancy, and the squatting because I get pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy. Humanity is not a monolith. The more you moved, the better. I'm happy for you that that was your experience of pregnancy. With me, it's the more I move (vertically), the worse the pain becomes. Trust me, it sucks.
@@laurao3274 I hear that, and I'm sorry that I came across as saying squats for all, maybe a better way would be to say that I find that each person using whatever range of motion they have, preserves that range, and pain is a hard limit for range of motion. I certainly didn't mean that folks should torture themselves, pain means stop!
@@laurao3274 I also had PGP and went to a PT and the exercises (squatting was one of them) really helped the pain minimize. It took 1-2 weeks but my pain improved!
See what I love about 5 minute crafts is that everything they show you could WORK, but just aren't practical. So I mean, it's a good way to get rid of boredom?
Actually, most of their hacks, especially the cooking ones, are completely faked and if attempted have led to people getting injured. Highly recommend the channel "How to Cook That." Ann Reardon has been debunking their videos (and a bunch of other content farms) for a while and talking about how dangerous they are.
@@believeinfaeries8713 THIS!
@@believeinfaeries8713 they also made one about first aid and it's also dangerous and or ridiculous. See Doctor Mike's video about it !
One of their craft actually killed at least 12 people.
I couldn’t get comfortable last night due to pregnancy but we learned early on in our relationship that one well rested person is better than no well rested people so I ended up in the couch and let my husband sleep in peace.
Lol my husbands the one on the couch not me
Why couldn't he take the sofa?
@@largeautomobile because he was already asleep and had to work today. I’m pregnant not a dick. I couldn’t get comfortable and I couldn’t sleep. Sending him out to the couch because of my issue would be a dick move.
Amen to that. The one who can't sleep takes the couch. Plus, couch will be comfortable if you want to sit 😊
@@taylorbarnett1199 when I had trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep in bed while pregnant, I often took to the couch. Because 1) then I didn’t keep my husband from getting a good night’s sleep and 2) by late/later pregnancy, sleeping in the couch was often more comfortable because I got support from both the seat and the back of the couch.
The toilet thing would actually be useful for disabled people who find squatting hard but still want to life their best life and go camping. Though I'd change it into bio bag so the bag could be buried.
Isn’t there a product like this already? Something, you know, less “crafty”? Seems like a good idea.
@@bea7823 There are 5 gallon buckets with toilet seat attachments already. No need to ruin a lawn chair.
You can just buy camping toilets.
@@bea7823 Yes there is, but at least in my country in euros they cost like 70+, when you can buy a used or even unused lain chairs for around 8 euros.
@@bearo8 Yes, but at least in my country in euros they cost like 70+, when you can buy a used or even unused lain chairs for around 8 euros.
I actually used a round pool floaty just to relax my upper back muscles when I was really pregnant, and it totally helped alleviate upper back pain. But I didn’t actually sleep on it, i feel like that would be kind of dangerous. I would be totally afraid I’d fall off while sleeping
For the shoe hack, you can also just buy a few yards of 1/8 in elastic(in sewing supplies at store) and use it like regular laces. Once you have them tied how you like, you just never untie them.
The RC sweeper would have the advantage of entertaining the toddler while sweeping... otherwise, I don't see any benefit. (And don't use it around cats or dogs because that would be highly counterproductive.) The one with reaching for the book on the shelf reminds me of infomercials where people are portrayed as clueless as possible and the product being sold is the only solution to the problem they are facing.
If they had dogs, the RC sweeper would have been irrelevant. They are nature's self-driving vacuums.
You can walk into any Walmart and find elastic laces. A lot of shoes come with elastic laces. As for the toilet chair, you buy those. I believe that you can find them in camping gear or medical supplies
Just fyi for everyone, the lawn chair doesn't work. The lawn chair fabric holds your weight through tension. By cutting it you may just rip or fall through the fabric haha
The rc thing seems like a good way to get kids involved in helping clean up and getting into the habit of cleaning early which is cool at least
Pool floatie: the one she uses is way too big. I got a kid-size one and it was perfect for when I wanted to lay down so my husband could give me a massage. RC broom: fun engineering activity and that's it Elastic shoelaces: I love slip-ons but there's gotta be a better way The vacuum was so stupid I guess a yardstick works as a shoehorn Camp toilet: I love bringing a potty training toilet on road trips. Pregnant or not, it's way easier to pee on the side of the road as a girl with something to sit on, as I can't squat apparently.
I want to know who has a yard stick and not a shoehorn 😂 I haven't seen one of those yard sticks since elementary school, and even the ones at my school had clearly been there since it opened in the 1950s.
I question the viability of the yard stick. Shoe horns are curved like your foot. Yard sticks are flat. Would your likely swollen, pregnant foot get in that shoe with flat object between your heel and the shoe?
@@laurao3274 I'm with you. Before we had a shoehorn I used a spoon but no matter the size it was curved wrong and hurt. Shoehorn is definitely best.
I.. own sneakers... that are made to be slip-ons. If I can do it, so can everyone else.
@@potatopishee5683 The point is to convert shoes you already have, not buy other ones. I don't like slip-ons that have the back missing, but ones with full coverage still require you to bend and use your hand, which isn't as easy as it sounds in the third trimester (speaking from 2x experience).
I haven't been pregnant in a loooong time (my "baby" is almost 38!) but I don't think any of those ideas is very practical. But I do remember the complete joy I felt being able to sleep on my stomach after I delivered! 🤣🤣🤣
As a stomach sleeper, after I had my son, I was delighted at the prospect of being able to sleep on my stomach again. Then bitter disappointment set in when I realized that the hard melons attached to my upper body made it impossible to comfortably lay on my belly. (Uncomfortable and clogs the ducts.) I had to wait over a year, until after my son weaned, before I could sleep on my stomach again. Now I'm pregnant again and back to sleeping on my side. Still not a fan.
I’d love to see her react to the 911 episode season 1 episode 7 where a bunch pregnant women go into labor at once during a yoga class during a full moon 😂

The sleeping floaty hack isn't bad. I'm a stomach sleeper. When I had a baclofen pump, I slept with a hemorrhoid pillow around my pump. Much more comfortable.
It would be highly impractical. Those things would actually lose a good amount of air overnight. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever slept on a cheap air mattress. Also, I feel like there would be a great potential for the floaty to slip off the bed when you shift in your sleep. The last thing a pregnant lady needs is an ER visit after tumbling off the bed. I'm a belly sleeper, so I hate sleeping on my side. But when you're pregnant, you do what you gotta do. And a bunch of pillows or a pregnancy pillow work wonders.
Did the baclofen work for you? Didn't do anything for me or my neighbor in the next hospital bed
@jerelull9629 Baclofen is a literal miracle for me. The pump did not work, but the medication is still great orally. I'm sorry it didn't work for your neighbor.
Love you videos. That last "hack" reminds me of my 2nd pregnancy we were at the stables and we didn't have bathroom there we always went in the bushes. I was about due and needed to pee so went off into the bush. Where my bloody show happened and my waters started trickling out too. My partner had to bring me spare pants and take me to hospital, this was on a Wednesday morning, my son wasn't born until the Saturday though. But I was regularly in a situation where I wasn't within walking distance of a bathroom, (though driving distance of medical help)
Yeah but you not getting a 5 gallon bucket and a toilet seat that fits them, is just lazy shortsighted-ness. On your part. It would be fat cheaper and much more usable as well as quicker to set up, then what they showed.
@@insertianameia2224 I don't think very many people just think to get those things
Yes please to more 5 min craft pregnancy hack reviews :) The thing with the vacuum cleaner and the books would probably damage the books if you did it over and over. Most books aren't designed to be picked up by only their covers.
Yeah that is the worse idea.
That was what I was thinking as well. No book lover would ever do that to their books!
As a book lover who is constantly harping on a small child to take care of his books, I was particularly appalled by that one. Also, I didn't get the whole not using your words thing. Their pantomime looked a whole lot like the terrible, and wildly offensive, ways they'd have d/Deaf characters communicate in old movies.
I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my first and some clothing hacks would genuinely be amazing because the idea of buying heaps of new clothes is a lot right now.
@Sharee Mitchell not yet. I've heard thrifting is a cost effective way to shop so I will definitely give it a go - I'm not showing yet so my clothes still fit thankfully!
I am 37 weeks and in my town only Ross and thrift shops have maternity departments. Most of what I find is jeans with stretch panels or black stuff. So far what I am really glad I got was knit sleeveless dresses/ long tanks (summer clearance) I could wear with or without existing layers (e.g. leave bottom of blouse unbuttoned under dress like a jumper); a couple t shirts and drawstring lounge pants/maternity pants two sizes up (helpful for ultrasounds and other monitoring as well as for insulin shots); a dressy skinny belt that fit my underbust to cinch in anything oversized; bigger cup size wireless bras; long wrap skirts I can tie different ways. I am a bit feminine and geeky, so it was also a big relief to find a maternity shirt with a collar styled similar to a button down, some things like that to help me feel like myself on certain days. But definitely I tried to make use of my existing wardrobe as long as I could by layering and choosing flexible items when I shopped. With it getting warmer I am switching more to layers I can fling off as I get warm in the afternoon.
Also, a maxi dress will be your best friend in the summer heat.
There are elastic shoelaces which look like normal shoelaces. I’ve used them in theater productions for quick changes, actors can get shoes off and on much more quickly.
Cool!
Probably TMI but relevant to the discussion and "hack" - I absolutely managed to squat to pee in the woods 3 days before my daughter was born full term. We were at a boardwalk hoping the prolonged activity would get things moving and I had foolishly not used the only outhouse on the root 15 minutes earlier. As soon as we were in an area where it was safe to step off the boardwalk and there was enough tall plantlife around to duck behind...
That preggo pee desperation will do it! Being pregnant was the thing that finally got me to pee in the woods. My husband was performing at an event at a nature preserve in the dead of winter and we stayed in a primitive cabin on the property that night. The out house was a good 10 minute waddle down (and up again) the hill for me. Wasn't going to do that every hour in 20 something degree weather. 😂
All of this^ And squatting is even recommended as a beneficial labor position, which ideally happens when you’re “so pregnant you’re gonna pop” So I’m not sure who can’t squat, regardless of which stage of pregnancy they’re in. Just squat by a tree so you can grab a branch to stabilize and pull yourself back up, lol
The toilet hack actually is better served by a bucket toilet using a real trash bag but anchored down by a cut - down pool noodle that makes a great cushion. It really is a great hack for Stuff - Hits - the - Fan situations. But the seat "solution" would fall apart as soon as she sat. All of these are Rube Goldberg contraptions.
Yep! I was saying "No, no, no! The tape won't hold! "
Not pregnant, just LOVE the snuggly pregnacy pillow :) Could you possibly make a video on birth control for period issues
I think the hair elastics as shoelaces hack is the only thing I've ever seen from 5 minute crafts that looked genuinely easy and not wasteful or ridiculous and possibly even doable in 5 minutes. They finally managed to make one hack that worked!
When I was in the Army and very pregnant my leadership still had me come out with them to the field one day when it was extremely hot outside, and there was no bathroom available, so I was drinking so much fluid and having to pee all the time and I had to go find a way to squat and pee. I was so frustrated they made me go because the training was not pertinent to me anymore and it was just not a great situation for a pregnant lady to be in.
I'm a little surprised that they made you go, considering pregnant women are way more susceptible to heart injury. But then again, I'm not at all surprised. There are several reasons I decided to EAS after my initial enlistment, and my want of a family was the biggest one. I saw what pregnant and post partum Marines went through, and I didn't want that to be me.
I used that first hack, but with a much smaller inner tube and stacked pillows around it.
I wish I'd remembered while I was pregnant that elastic shoelaces were a thing! Also, I just about died laughing about the unicorn thing!
For the first one: pregnancy pillows exist, they're basically body pillows (also very good for sleeping with hip pain)
I'm so thankful I didn't loose my ability to speak while pregnant. And also that my pregnancy didn't turn my partner into whatever the heck that guy was. Because unless. Lol. Thank MDJ great video.
5 min crafts is a content farm. 99 percent of the things they post are garbage (some are actually dangerous). Ann Reardon from How To Cook That debunks a lot of their "cooking hacks" and also talks about how bad these kind of content farms are.
their channels should have been shut down when they were shown putting strawberries in bleach to "make those pale strawberries" LIKE WTF????
Or to yeet hot caramel trough the room with a mixer. That one was also rediculously unsafe.
I love Ann h2cT i
There was also a hack involving alcohol that they geared towards children. They just do either dumb or dangerous stuff, quite often the "hack" is both.
That broom on the car thing is totally sometime my husband would do 🤣 but really just for fun. My biggest issue with this video is the assumption that she needs her husband to do these things for her. I mean, husbands should be caring and supportive, but come on girl! You want a toilet in the woods? Figure it out yourself! You got this!
I'm totally tempted to do this and see, if I can get my 6 year old nephew to clean 😅
I bought Lock-Laces because I hate tying my shoes and they are just elastic laces 😅 highly recommend lol
Now the shoelaces thing is OK. I have a 3 week old and bought elastic laces for my trainers, although I actually did it for postpartum as I find I can't tie laces easily holding a baby or baby wearing.
This just reminded me of how my mother and I would heckle so many videos/programs 🤣 Miss her so many years since her passing.
I mean my husband totally spent both of my pregnancies spying on me and jumping out of corners to MacGyver solutions to problems that didn't exist... That's totally normal. (said in a playful manner)
5:25 I like the meter stick hack because assuming you’re not gonna need a specialized tool long term.
6:30 Hack for if you take your picky toddler camping and are trying to potty train?
Do you have any videos on ovarian cysts? (How/why they rupture, why one would get them multiple times, etc)
I love seeing new MDJ videos pop up. I feel like she's the kind of person who is just so easy to talk to.
I saw a 5 minute crafts video yesterday with ‘super easy jewellery ideas’ where you needed metal, moulds, special clamps, special buffers, files and pliers lol, because who doesn’t have those things just lying around! I think my fave of these was the RC broom 😅
MDJ is so nice I would literally just be saying the words “stupid”, “dumb”, and wtf but she’s just being so sweet and saying things like its impractical and all that.
Relating to the second shoe one they were showing a different option for those that don’t want to take out their laces and swap them for something else.
Hi Mama Doctor Jones, I appreciate your educational videos and insight on obgyn & etc. I am currently pregnant & use these videos to help my fiance & new mom's.
I just appreciate that he was eager to help...just not in the most conventional ways
Or for the second one why bend down and sweep up at all just use a vacuum cleaner. After sweeping it up it’s too unhygienic to eat (germ transfer and all) so just vacuum.
You never know what they are up to xD We had a broken vacuum cleaner send in to repair and for 6 weeks we'd sweep "oldschool" and nothing that got sweeped (dropped cereals e.g.) went to the table again but into the garbage can ;) They will not put it back on the table as well. Just pointing that out as I'd read your post that you assume things will be put back in the bowl to eat ;)
@@EveChan1804 sorry of assume I though people would eat the swept up thing. Didn’t think that was just saying that you couldn’t eat swept up stuff so why not just vacuum. Most pregnant people aren’t going to bend down and use the dust pan and brush if they can use a better way of cleaning things up.
They can not use the vaccum because its been used to get the books
@@danielanoguera7093 😂😂😂 true XD
@@EmilyCheetham it might just be me that thought that way 😅
Regarding the car broom, it could also help encourage kids to help clean. Kids need to learn to help, but they often don't want to and might throw a fit. However, they might like to do it with a toy car. It can potentially teach them not only to help, but also that cleaning is fun and to think outside the box
It's been a minute since I bought a camping toilet, but I'm pretty sure it costs about the same as those supplies and I'm completely sure it's much easier.
I'm really enjoying my lunch breaks at work. You upload a new video right as I'm clocking out!
FYI: 5-min Crafts is infamous for claiming or outright taking down reaction videos. I know several other channels have had this problem.
The sweeping RC car actually makes a lot of sense to me first of all I didn’t destroy a long handle broom because a lot of those ones screw at the base and tying it to RC car probably took 2 minutes and is one of helped the toddler be more interactive and helping out my mom will still be entertained
Love how the husband is trying his best to help his wife but he just keeps on finding the most convoluted ways of doing so. Himbo energy
This episode is going to be FUN.. 5 minutes craft always has some crazy gaga ideas and more often than not they are utterly stupid..
Oh my gosh, actually, that shoe elastic sounds neat?? My kids have autism and abhor laces but it's so hard to find lace-less shoes for their biggo feet (for being 8 and 11 years old...) but this is super cool for them! I know this was a pregnancy video but that was a cool thing for this mama to learn LOL
I never liked those 5min craft videos, but your reaction to them cracks me up 😂
Did anyone else catch that they used a shoe slip in the first hack with the hair elastics?? Lol
I was a regular body pillow for a few years but I love my pregnancy body pillow, I’ll never stop using this. I have the Boppy full body pillow, it’s not a U, it’s just curvy.
This was such fun MDJ! I laughed a lot, much needed lighthearted fun.
Thank you for this video ! 😊💐
MDJ is one of those channels you can rewatch a video and still laugh just as much the second or third time!
Heya Mama Doc, I adore your work. if this video made you giggle you'd love Ann Reardon who does debunk quite a lot of 5 minute crafts amongst her content... always worth a watch for the lengths she goes to try a hack. I adore your work.
I do hope you review more 5 min crafts videos. Your reactions are priceless 😂😂
What timing! Absolute need of the hour for me
Oh, I did learn something: daddy is the fun and innovative one and mommy the serious and helpless one. Thank you 5 minute craft!
This was absolutely worth the comic value!
I have to admit, this is surprisingly wholesome for that channel - if you just take it for entertainment, it's pretty cute
love the color of your scrubbs
The floaty/inner tube is actually a good idea. I don't use it to go to bed, I have a body pillow, &+ alternate from my left to my right side, but I do use an inner tube when my S.O. massages my back. I use a kids size one so my stomach fits perfectly &+ allows me to comfortably lay on my stomach, while getting a massage. 😁
could you talk about the risks of a short cervix, or having a dynamic cervix, and cerclage, projesterone etc.
I had an inner tube I would lay in on the living room floor. Not for sleeping, but it was great for back pain. After about 10 minutes I’d feel amazing.
to be fair, i did try using a inflatable round float to sleep when i was pregnant. it wasnt near the size of the unicorn XD i had a cheap like $5 max basic round float. but it was one of the most comfortable ways i napped for the last few months of pregnancy
On the elastic shoelace thing, there's actually a company that makes elastomer hook and loop shoelaces that work really well called Hickies. Used to wear them all the time. They don't looko terrible and the come in a bunch of differnt colors if you care about that (mine were all plain black, same color as those shoes).
Practical for some and not for others. Simplicity & growth is good to.
That last one has made me wonder how pregnant people manage in places where they don’t have sit down toilets 🤔 or indeed how pregnant people managed before the invention of the toilet 😆
Maybe if you're used to squatting and are squatting every day throughout pregnancy it's easier than if you have to squat once and you're not used to it.
The elastic shoelaces are quite cute tbf. Never thought I would in any way praising 5 minute crafts. 😂
it’s actually really sweet how the husband keeps trying to help her my ex husband was the actual worst. i was 8 months pregnant once & bent over changing our toddlers diaper while my ex husband (we were still together at this point) was literally laying on the bed next to us not helping at all or anything & i had said my back was hurting (i had a LOT of pain in my back & tailbone during my second pregnancy which my kids are only 14 months apart & im 4’11” so pregnancy f’d me up pretty bad) & THIS MAN TELLS ME “oh stop being such a p*ssy i know a lot of other women who were pregnant and they said it wasn’t as bad as you say it is” i left him shortly after that bc he was extremely emotionally abusive & he is a complete dead beat now so i am very jealous of this silly but caring husband
I'm genuinely impressed. I saw 5 minute crafts and assumed it was going to be a list of things that were actually harmful and not just dumb.
0:40 My mom used to have a pillow that has like an open bit (so it's like a circle pillow with a chunk missing) for that exact reason soooo- I dunno I think that that would be a lot more comfy than a pool floaty.
Could you make a video dedicated to endometriosis? I could only find PCOS ones on your channel. Thank you!!
I feel like that vacuum would have been helpful with the spilt popcorn
This was sooooooo hilarious!!! Loved it!! 💕
I think the shoelace one is kinda helpful. I'm in Taiwan and they don't really sell many shoes in my size (big feet) I have a pair of sneakers, but I'm 30w now and bending to tie is getting so hard. Hubby works earlier then me, and kids, well youngest can't tie yet, and older is learning. So .. yeah 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I did actually switch out my shoelaces for elastic shoelaces when I was pregnant. I still wear those shoes a lot, because it's also practical to be able to slip them on while having a baby on my arm.
yes! my bus commute just got better 🥰
It would be supper rad to see a video on having a hiatal hernia wile pregnant. Like maybe diet tips , well tips in general.
This was so funny! My husband and I watch stupid 5 minute crafts so we can make fun of them. I send them to my daughter at college sometimes but she usually replies, “NOOOOOOO!!!!” 😂
3:20 with the elastics, How do you tie them off? It shows how to connect them and loop them through the shoes but not how to end the “lacing”
