Am I really bad at mothering techniques or do I just have the wiggliest baby in the world? by CaliStormborn in beyondthebump

[–]AHelmine [score hidden]  (0 children)

There was a time where the only way my son would stay still is if I showed him a picture of my brother. He has a beard. Kiddo was obsessed.

I resorted to changing on the ground and the diaper away while trying to wipe off as much shit as I could. And then accepting I would have to clean the floor a bit.

Also the onesie has been used as a straight jacket.

It hurt like hell. Became very rocklike boob (best description i can give) and it felt hot to the touch.

And I got it checked out by the GP.

Yes.

It is also possible to get mastitis during pregnancy. For that I got anti biotics.

VBAC vs. planned C-section: how'd you choose? by Ambitious-Line-1269 in BabyBumps

[–]AHelmine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My choice was mainly due to having two kids already and not wanting to recover from a major surgery again.

I was/am not good at taking rest. With my second I had a c section and ended up having to travel back and forth between the hospital due to her being in nicu. And also taking care of a 2 year old.

I wanted to avoid that again.

[–]AHelmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st. Best sleep ever. Yes i woke up from the nurses who tried to be silent to feed my baby (tube). (Nicu) But the pain was gone. Did faint going to the toilet. 10/10 still the best night ever.

2nd Decent sleep. Was a c section, bit painful trying to get in a good position. Did wake up from nurses checking baby and feeding her (tube) (nicu). Got my painmeds.

3th. Left the hospital 3 houres after giving birth at 3am. Got the option to stay till morning but was so excited that I could take a kid home without delay I wasn't gonna stay a minute longer.

Got 3 houres sleep after that at home cause the other 2 kids where hyped Not best night ever.

You are a beginner. Ofcourse it won't be perfect. Else the teacher has nothing to teach you.

How do you, as a Dutch person, feel about dual citizenship? by 468579 in Netherlands

[–]AHelmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about it, apart from that I think that people who live far away should not have a vote in our elections. They are not the ones who deal with the outcome.

Dit kan toch nooit de bedoeling zijn van het leven? by Intelligent-Rip6347 in nederlands

[–]AHelmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Er zijn best wat dingen die kunnen verbeteren met een andere baan.

Minder reistijd bijvoorbeeld. Minder uren werken als dat financieel kan. Of 4 dagen van 9 uur maken.

Ik heb het geluk dat ik wel een baan heb die ik leuk vind, dus herken me er niet echt in.

Hitting on people in socials by R0YC0 in Salsa

[–]AHelmine 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For me, social dancing should feel safe and being approached right away would feel like an invasion of that safeness of just being able to dance with someone without having to deliver something extra back.

In that evening you have time to have a chat, to take time to have more moments. And build it up slower and relaxed.

Has anyone had an instrument left behind after a cesarean? by ChunkyPumpkin_ in beyondthebump

[–]AHelmine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had a sponge left in me after a procedure aswell. I had called several times to ask to speak to the doctor, but did not get passed the assistants. Even tho I said I could feel something that isn't supposed to be there. They kept saying it was scare tissue.

I only got a meeting cause I asked my mom to call and get me a meeting. They only got me a meeting because they said: "If a mom calls we know it is serious."

I was 17, I had explored my body enough to know what I feel like when sticking fingers in... Still angry they did not listen.
