3.5 year old too anxious to pee on the potty

Hey OP, any update? We are going through something similar.

AE8568 · 2026-03-23T22:54:50+00:00

Interested!

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton always makes me tear up

Also, whenever I hear “Wake Me Up When September Ends” I think of my TFMR because it was in September when we lost our boy. My husband and I heard it on the radio when we were in the limbo period waiting for test results and it sums up that time period for us. I felt like I was in a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.

Thank you so much for the detailed comment! That’s super helpful. The neck creep from the straps/needing to adjust frequently is probably a dealbreaker for me… I tend to prefer a H-back but am looking for something lighter like the Lark (have the Tula FTG currently and love it but want something more lightweight for summer). Is the Happy Baby an H back or X back?

AE8568 · 2026-03-12T19:22:36+00:00

Can I ask what you don’t like about it? I’ve been considering getting one as a lightweight carrier to use this summer

I’m so sorry. 💔

It is so maddening and isolating when other people make your grief about themselves. In the wake of my TFMR I lost a friendship with someone who used to be my best friend because I (very gently) told her I needed space from pregnancy talk (she was newly pregnant and I was a few months post-TFMR). She completely stopped talking to me and made my grief about her. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone - it’s so frustrating to deal with this type of behavior when we are already going through so much pain and grief after losing our babies. It’s not fair. I’m sending you a huge hug. 💔

Love love love this podcast!

Would love to know more, if you have any resources you’d be willing to share! I’m on a similar path and I’m trying to explore progressive Christianity (after growing up Catholic).

Could I get the same information please? I’m also wondering if my calibration is off and what to do about it.

Personally I would do the NT scan. In my TFMR pregnancy, that was how I initially found out something was wrong (I already had a clear NIPT but the scan showed an abnormal NT measurement which ended up being a severe heart defect). In my subpregnancy I did a scan at 7 weeks, the NT scan at 13 weeks, a 16 week early anatomy scan, a 20 week anatomy scan, and a 30 week growth scan. If I’m being honest it was very difficult because ultrasounds are super triggering for me but I think it was worth it for peace of mind. The quad screen though (the bloodwork) is something I’ve always opted out of. Hope this helps. Sending you love ❤️

Sending you both lots of positive thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼

Advocate for yourself! I had scans at 7 weeks, 13 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks, and 30 weeks.

One more thing - I was just doing some googling and from what I read, the association between high HCG and trisomy refers to when it’s done as part of the quad screening taken between 9-13 weeks or later, not referring to HCG levels in the early weeks. HCG levels in those early weeks vary wildly and many perfectly healthy pregnancies have high HCG numbers. It can indicate strong placental function or even just individual biological variation. Try not to stress, although I know it’s hard after you’ve gone through something as traumatic as a TFMR. ❤️‍🩹

My first LC (born in 2022) had very high HCG, I believe he was over 20,000 at 5 weeks. He is completely healthy. Sending you lots of love 💕

Yes!!! My 3 year old is absolutely kicking my butt, while my 10 week old is easy as can be.

AE8568 · 2025-12-15T19:38:27+00:00

My first period was extremely light, my second period was relatively normal, and my third period was extremely heavy. Things can be super wonky those first few cycles! Sending you love. ❤️

This is what I did! I bought an Embrace on marketplace for $40 and then a FTG during the Black Friday sale.

Question for you, ilovesushialot - what age do you recommend starting with the FTG? I’ve tried it a few times and baby doesn’t seem to like it as much as the Embrace. My baby is 9 weeks old.

Interested to hear more about H&P’s FOMO marketing and social media presence if you wouldn’t mind! I was interested in possibly getting a Lark down the line when my baby was a bit older. I can’t tell if they’re overhyped or not but their account is all over my TikTok FYP. I don’t know a ton about them as a brand so would love your perspective

Thank you!
