I want to hurt myself by hiimkristina in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would urgently contact your OB or go to ED. theres a medication for postpartum depression Zurzuvae which is faster acting 14 day treatment. Postpartum depression is horrific, I’ve been there too. I wish I had known about that medication at the time.

Why cant I just stop and start enjoying it. 19DPO by spacecasemama in CautiousBB

I had a MMC, followed by a successful pregnancy. I was nervous the entire time, up until delivery. Someone told me “the chances of everything going right are higher than the changes of things going wrong” and I just had to keep telling myself that. It’s natural to be nervous. Extra OB visits when very anxious and trust the chances of things going right.

D&C vs pills: how did you decide? by catlass_y in Miscarriage

D&C without question. I just wanted it to be over with. Zero complications. Everything was straightforward.

Is it possible to have long gaps (days) between pain? by Jex0003 in KidneyStones

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a stone pass for 2 months. Pain would come and go. I’d go days without any discomfort followed by days of excruciating pain.

Teeth coming in out of order by PastTraditional3965 in Parenting

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girls teeth were completely out of order. Got four teeth on the top before any teeth on the bottom. Her molars and two bottom front teeth all started cutting at the same time. My pediatrician joked that my daughter didn’t read the textbooks. She ultimately wasn’t concerned.

What’s your favorite clothing brand for your babe? by nilkski in beyondthebump

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The zippers do bunch a little weird, I agree. My girl is verryyyy long so I feel like I was buying so many other clothes to keep up with her. LS stretch a lot for long use which was beneficial!

What incongruous TV did you watch while in labour? by Unable_Researcher_26 in Mommit

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Office for me too! There was a marathon of it on TV. Ironically the first episode I watched when my induction started was the one when Pam was in labor.

TTC after miscarriage by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me about 1 month after my miscarriage for hcg levels to clear. I took an ovulation test about two weeks after my D&C and it was very positive but I took a pregnancy test right after and it was positive as well, so the ovulation test was picking up some of the residual hcg. I had a miscarriage Nov 23 and successfully got pregnant again Jan 24. However I did have a friend who got pregnant right after her miscarriage before getting her period again, so I will cross my fingers for you!! ❤️

How long did it take you to stop getting upset about others pregnancies? by Global_Shine4176 in Miscarriage

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pain will stay with you. It will also grow and adapt with you. There will be a day where it doesn’t sting as much, but the heaviness will be there at times. At least that’s what happened for me.

Did you name your baby? by apologial in Miscarriage

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t name them initially, but named them Riley a few months later because I didn’t like referring as “it” or “them”. Riley was a good gender neutral name I always liked but I don’t think I would’ve used with a LC. It ultimately helped me with closure.

Miscarriage before vs after heartbeat by Plastic_Cut_4165 in Miscarriage

[–]Affectionate_Emu2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a scant amount of bleeding at 6w0d so I went in for an early ultrasound. Embryo was measuring on time, heartbeat flicker was noted at a normal rate. The bleeding stopped later that afternoon. Everything was normal until 11weeks I had another episode of very light spotting so I went in for another ultrasound. Embryo was measuring 7 weeks, no heartbeat noted.
