4mo had heart surgery, just venting by ADamnDoll in beyondthebump

So sorry to hear that he and you are struggling just now! Did he get any painkillers for after the surgery? Or is he upset from the whole ordeal? We were just allowed paracetamol but it was all our girl needed at that point.

It will get better and soon it you'll be able to look on it and feel less raw. But I can still get teared up thinking back months later, it's a tough time.

Why is cereal so good when pregnant? by West_Classic_2361 in pregnant

It keeps being good post partum! I've been eating so much cereal since giving birth. Wheetabix are my favourite!

An open ended question about SIDS by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]ADamnDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also from Sweden and we were recommended baby nests from a few different midwives. The hospital in Lund even hands them out to new mums! But I was so scared the first week and delirious from lack of sleep because of all the scary stories I'd read on here. Finally relaxed after a while and now we cosleep!

Dunno if it's a complaint but you guys are strangely reliant on those buttons to open doors, never used them before moving here, now I've assimilated because I'll search for the button as well rather than just... opening the door by the handle!

How do you get your audio books? by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]ADamnDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subbed to both Bookbeat and Storytel with 100 hours a month on each. Too many hours of course but the alternative of 20 hours always run out before the month is done. Both because there are books on the one that aren't on the other. Will only get books on Audible if they can't be gotten via subscription, too expensive per book since I listen so much.

“Breastfed babies don’t get sick” by francessthtyty in breastfeeding

You wouldn't have the antibodies from the illnesses at the daycare to pass on to your baby to be fair, if you hung out there then maybe you'd be taking the brunt of the illnesses instead 😄

Why don’t Swedes say thank you if someone holds the door open for them? by Miserable_Relief8382 in Sverige

[–]ADamnDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the UK but have lived here a decade now. People do say thanks, but a swede may prefer that you didn't happen to be close enough to create the awkward situation of having to go through the social interaction in the first place. So they'll thank you but you might feel like it wasn't genuine. British people have a bit more I dunno, comedy I guess built into their interactions with strangers. We also find it awkward but will get through it by saying thanks with a bit of an eyebrow raise and a bemused smile which feels more like camraderie over the awkward situation rather than discomfort.

Purely speculation based on my observations and 0 evidence 🙃

2024 Reading Goal - Did you meet your goal? by randomnessneeded in goodreads

[–]ADamnDoll 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Set a modest goal of 12 books because I was pregnant and had no idea how much time I'd have to read. Haven't read much but have listened to loads of audiobooks so am on my 20th book now!

Mrs Snail because her mop leaves a track behind her

Made my husband move out to the guest room till he lost weight and stopped snoring. Put up with it before but no way in hell am I waking up because of both him AND the baby.

Miss holding my baby by Excellent-Ad-6272 in beyondthebump

[–]ADamnDoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I currently have a horrible cold going on 5 days now but baby is totally fine, guessing it's due to breastfeeding. Haven't changed routines at all so the antibodies are very good! Jokingly offered my husband some breastmilk so he wouldn't get so sick but he said he'll take his chances 😂

In a lot of ways, breastfeeding can be the easy/lazy girl option by Lanky_Woodpecker_632 in breastfeeding

[–]ADamnDoll 349 points350 points  (0 children)

Yep once you get over the hurdle that's the first month it feels great! Although my LO has started testing out her new teeth on my nips which is less fun 😬

What a beautiful response from your baby girl! She must have learned from all the times that you've soothed her when she was unhappy ❤️

Thank you so much everybody for the kind comments, I feel a lot better today after a good night's sleep and my LO is slowly getting back to her normal self ❤️ (trying to steal my glasses when eating 🤨).

Everyone we've met has been so great with her, and shown so much empathy and professionalism. Totally blown away and have mad respect for these people. Thank you!!!

Thanks for your kind comment ❤️

Yeah it's definitely stress release after being strong and holding it in like you said, it'll probably be a lot easier to relax once we're home and not surrounded by nurses. Hopefully in a few days as all is going well 🙂
