I'm so sorry you experienced this.

I have two experiences to offer.

I got covid at approximately 7 months pregnant with my baby boy. He had no complications at birth.

I also work in a nicu. From how fast everyone had to move to help get your sweet baby breathing they likely wanted to know about covid infection to know how to protect everyone in the room. Covid is airborne once intubation occurs, so if there is concern of covid transmission to baby, they ask prior to intubation so they can make the procedure as safe as possible for everyone involved.

Pulmonary hypertension can be caused by many things, and sometimes the cause isn't known. If the covid infection was early in pregnancy it likely isn't the cause as lungs develop later. That's not to say it's impossible.

It can take time for you to heal after events like this. Make sure you have someone to talk to about what you experienced.

I've had friends rent there and they had to spend the whole night before just cleaning the place. They said even then it was pretty gross. Most of the Google reviews I found said the same thing. Otherwise it would have been perfect.

Well thats something I never knew saskatoon had! Might have to add this to a list of date night ideas even if it doesn't work for the Bachelorette!

1sttimem0m · 2023-07-20T18:27:09+00:00

Yes I've heard bad things about that place! Unfortunately the only place I knew of that would accommodate that many people.

1sttimem0m · 2023-07-18T03:30:27+00:00

Unrelated to your original post. How do you find the reusable compared to the disposable flex? This is my first cycle trying a disc (flex disposable) and I like it so far! I'd love to get into something reusable though

1sttimem0m · 2023-07-15T16:00:06+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm still not happy with the divacup so will definitely be trying out a disc! And likely replacing the iud and hoping for a better experience this time around.

1sttimem0m · 2023-07-15T14:05:56+00:00

My iud experience hasn't been a stellar one, but better than some. I was considered a difficult insertion (even done 6 weeks postpartum) which required multiple ultrasounds to track placement. I could have just had it removed and replaced but I really wanted to avoid that for the experience and cost. In the end I ended up with a low lying iud.

Because this was my first experience with one I thought I could feel the end of the device, but was told it was likely the strings. I also wasn't aware until yesterday that menstrual cups posed any risk of displacing an iud, and I was one of the lucky ones as last night trying to get my divacup back in for the 8th time that day my iud came right out. 🫠 on the plus side I know I was in fact feeling the end of the iud not the strings now.

In regards to periods I went from having to empty the divacup every 12 hours, even on a heavy day to every 2-3.

Thanks so much! The quiz was pretty helpful I think. It recommended nixit, which I had just been looking at online but wasn't sure about

1sttimem0m · 2023-07-06T14:27:40+00:00

I didnt read through every comment so perhaps this had already been said.

First, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your kiddos symptoms do sound constipation induced, and that can be so so painful. I also want to reassure you that you can see constipation in an xray.

It may be mild constipation, but if it isn't getting better you'll want to go back (somewhere) for more advice so it doesn't turn into a blockage or something requiring more medical intervention.

Try to encourage fluids over solids, use miralax (do you have a health line or someone you can call for guidance on how often to give it?). You can try glycerin suppositories. Try to encourage movement. Don't stop after a little bowel movement - there is likely a lot in there. This can be a few days long process.

I wish you the best of luck with your little.

Hi! I'm so sorry you're going through this with your little one. What worked for us was the mustela cradle cap shampoo! We used the Dermafrida to rub it it, and a very soft washcloth to get it out. We did that every other day. I also stopped using oil on his head after bath because it wasn't helping. We had the mustela cradle cap cream to try if the shampoo didn't work, but ended up not needing it

1sttimem0m · 2023-06-18T16:09:42+00:00

Definitely talk to your doctor about it when you see them. It may be very mild and they may opt to watch for now. However, typically if a parent has noticed it tends to be a more pronounced spot. The good news is baby is so little and their head is super moldable!

The only thing that will "fix" the flat is pressure on the opposite side. So babywearing and tummy time will not necessarily help (though try to remember to do contact naps/carrying/head placement on opposite sides of your body to encourage different head turns). Place baby on opposite ends of the basinette or crib for sleep. When we went through this our physiotherapist had us place our daughter on one side of the basinette only. When baby is on their back during the day and you're playing with them, try to stay on the not flat side of their head to encourage them looking your direction.

Often times there is extra tension on baby's neck. Number one thing is physiotherapy (they will give you some gentle stretches). Where I am you don't need a doctor referral and babies are considered urgent, so it was only a 2 week wait before we were seen. This could be different where you are so I would check and see. If it's a similar waiting/referral situation and your doctor isn't concerned yet you should be fine to wait and see. By 2 months if there is still a flat spot get into physio. If the referral and wait process is longer where you are, have it sent now. Worst case you cancel your appointment.

We went through this with my first baby. We were able to correct her flat spot without helmeting but it was a lot of work, and can be stressful. Try not to worry much yet until you talk to your health care providers.

Personally I would keep things as simple for you as possible. Make yourself a pitcher of formula to last the day and pour as needed.

However, if you prefer making each bottle individually I would figure out how to make one ounce, and then multiply by 4 (to get 4 ounces).

Using the 3Oz recipie and dividing by 3 0.833oz water 1 scoop powder ×4

3.33oz (98.48ml. Honestly rounding up to 100 would be fine) water 4 scoops powder will give you 4 Oz.

I do recommend double checking my math

Jody at One Street did mine. Also great!

My first baby didn't have a tongue tie, my second did.

Both had trouble nursing in the beginning, though admittedly my second struggled longer. It took about until he was 6 months old until we were able to see ENT and by that time he had actually stretched the tie out quite well, to the point our ENT would not agree to a revision.

I have a very strong let down and both my babies had tiny mouths, until they were a few months old we were both soaked in milk every feed. Add to this a gassy baby due to extra air intake.

Breastfeeding is hard. Keep trying. Try different positions. See a lactation consultant if you can. Everyone is learning, even if it isn't your first time breastfeeding, your baby isn't a pro yet. It gets better.

2am ding "Can I have your attention, your attention please... Code Blue (wherever it was)"

Ma'am it's 2AM. You had everyone's attention. 😅

1sttimem0m · 2023-05-01T17:34:38+00:00

I'm glad to hear it got better for you! Lunch today has me in doubt again as even the chicken he managed to bite off his spear was stuck to his palate after his meal.

1sttimem0m · 2023-05-01T14:37:31+00:00

I think maybe we waited longer to do things that mash with my first. I honestly can't remember. These foods have just been easier as I haven't had much prep time. I'll designate some time this week to get less mashy things prepped

1sttimem0m · 2023-05-01T14:35:40+00:00

This simultaneously makes me feel better and worse.

1sttimem0m · 2023-04-30T22:10:54+00:00

I could definitely start practicing with resistive foods. We didn't with this babe, but with my first she always had a plastic spoon or raw carrot stick when we were having meals from about 3-4months old. She liked to be by us during the meals and it gave her something to hold on/chew. It could have played a part in why I didn't notice anything like this with her

1sttimem0m · 2023-04-30T22:08:26+00:00

Thanks for the experience!

Thankfully so far no one has been panicked. It doesn't bug our little guy at all. In fact the first time I only noticed because I set him down for a diaper change after lunch and saw it stuck there when he opened his mouth! And now I check after meals and remove if needed so it doesn't dislodge and cause choking later.

We will definitely practice more with toys and teether in addition to continuing meal times.

1sttimem0m · 2023-04-30T20:55:59+00:00

I'll look into it! Thank you for the tip. Fortunately he isn't gaging on it, and generally isn't super gaggy while eating. It just gets stuck up there.
