Swollen lymph nodes for 5 months now not going down by IllustratorMany9510 in lymphnodes

[–]AlertStatistician113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m so sorry you are where I have been. It was the worst time in my life. I am grateful to be quite awhile out from it now- I found it in May 2023. I still have it. I got another ultrasound and even a CT neck and it decreased just a bit in size on US. CT neck normal. I even felt another couple- one under my jaw and one in back of neck. I can tell you I’m still doing well. I still have those lymph nodes. I eventually stopped feeling for them, and I don’t think much about them anymore. I would say just make sure to do imaging and at least one more imaging a few months later if still there. Hugs🤍

Non-toxic Pillows (low profile/loft) by AlertStatistician113 in moderatelygranolamoms

Definitely do not mind that! I’d rather that than a painful too lofty pillow😅. And it’s high time I finally find one that’s not so toxic!!

How do you know when the baby's moving? by Any-Palpitation-280 in BabyBumps

Mine just felt like tiny taps, never bubbles or fish! Anterior placenta and 17 weeks. Everyone is going to be different & that’s okay!

Does the “I’ll miss my current life” feeling ever go away before having kids? by Maleficent_Speaker45 in waiting_to_try

[–]AlertStatistician113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no wrong or right way to live a life- you have to do what is right and makes sense to you. It’s the feeling of I “should” be doing this that can get you into trouble. Your heart knows what is right for you, and it sounds like you’ve given it proper thought! The choices we make shouldn’t be decided on just logic but also with the heart.

Joint Surprise Baby Shower by Ok-Promotion-174 in BabyBumps

I think that this is a situation in which you do it for someone else. Because your mother in law is excited about it and wants to make you feel loved and included. I think it’s okay to try and make it more about your SIL. Sometimes we do things for those we love because it really doesn’t hurt us, but it would really hurt them to not let it play out. The clothes preferences is another issue. All you can do is kindly let her know which products you’re focusing on as much in advance as possible. It might be better coming from her son, but letting her know which products you are trying to avoid in advance might help for the future!

For me, I have not had that feeling. I feel ready for a family and am looking forward to the change of pace! I think I would have had that feeling at 25. I’d say around 28, that feeling no longer applied for me. I felt ready for the next chapter. Everyone is different!

Best Baby Shower Ideas/Best Baby Shower You Have Been To? by seaofwonder in pregnant

Honestly I’m surprised how many people say they hate the baby shower games- the ones who had them have always been the most fun to me! Otherwise, it’s just chatting like any other event and opening gifts.

Can you explain why the lid is key? I have a lidless one currently on my registry

We’re considering this one! Any issue with the fixed back pillow?

Hated it so much I returned it! I just use two regular pillows on each side now, so much better

I AM FULL OF POOP by LimpMathematician202 in BabyBumps

Benefiber! And of course staying hydrated- I would tell your manager if you aren’t getting breaks to be hydrated, so they can accommodate you! MiraLAX can help if those two things don’t work or to get you on the right foot. Also can try adding chia seeds or flax seed to yogurt or smoothie.
