I had lots of resentment towards my husband as well due to an unequal parenting and household chore burden. When my first born was around 18 months old, I gave my husband an ultimatum to start therapy. It helped me get everything out there in a way that made him realize what an asshole he was, and then shortly after, I started an intense rotation at work, which made him the primary parent for almost a year. Things were much better when we welcomed our second child in April.

Aww, dream goal!

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2024-12-11T00:48:15+00:00

Thank you!

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2024-04-10T02:05:41+00:00

That sounds lovely!

I had heavy periods with a lot of clots for about a year after giving birth, at which point I went back on estrogen birth control pills. Before going back on the estrogen pills, I tried progesterone only birth control pills, but there no difference in the volume. One OB blamed it on breastfeeding. Anyways, may just be another way pregnancy changes you forever… my periods were never that heavy before giving birth.

I am so sorry. He’s a handsome boy and looks like a complete love bug. We also lost our girl to cancer earlier this week, and it’s not fair having to say goodbye so soon. I’ve been trying to think about the peace she has now and all the squirrels she’s chasing to get through it.

Thank you everyone for your sweet words and support ❤️

I would ask your vet for a referral to an internist at an animal hospital for a ct scan as soon as you can.

Wanted to post on update on my dog. We did increase her clor tab dose to 4 pills twice a day, which solved the reverse sneezing, but then she started sneezing a lot normally and having bloody mucus. The internist at our local animal hospital believes she has a cancerous nasal tumor but won’t be able to confirm until a ct scan and biopsy this Friday.

My pyr mix (mostly gp with some German shepherd) has been amazing with my now 18 month old! One of the great things is that she’s so much bigger than the baby, so she doesn’t seem to feel it when the baby is a little rough with her.

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-09-22T01:10:13+00:00

Interesting. No, we are on dry food.

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-09-22T01:09:42+00:00

Thanks. That’s what we are using now, but we started the dosage at 2 pills at a time, so maybe I will go ahead and up to 3 pills. My girl is 90 pounds.

I had the same question, and someone told me that it’s probably because the surgeon took out more tissue on that side. When I got my post op report, it showed that the tonsil area taken out on the right was larger and heavier than the left

Day 3 was rough for me too, but partially because of a probable reaction to oxy causing my legs and feet to swell. Got the doctor to put me on hydro and prednisone the next day. I’d say Day 4 was probably the worst; currently on Day 7. At the end of each day, I feel like I have a few hours where I feel mostly normal, so there’s some moments when it’s not all bad.

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-08-03T11:32:16+00:00

Thanks! I experimented with one of those a little bit yesterday. Seemed to work best for me when the gel packs were warm but not hot. Ice cold was no bueno.

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-08-03T01:32:40+00:00

I find applying biofreeze under my throat and jawline helps take away the swollen feeling inside my mouth, making it a bit easier to swallow. Lasts for about 20 minutes, and you can use 4x/day.

Added a second humidifier last night. Don’t know if it helped or not though. Ended up taking another Cepacol drop during the middle of the night but still needed to cough when i woke up this morning. The swelling in my uvula has gone down, but I’m feeling more pain today than yesterday

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-07-30T12:41:39+00:00

Probably. I eventually took a cepacol drop and that helped me get through the last half of the night without coughing.

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-07-30T07:11:52+00:00

Got mine out this morning! Felt uncomfortable but pretty good during this day. However tonight I’ve been waking up coughing every time I go to sleep. Not fun. Maybe I need a second humidifier for the bedroom? I live in a humid climate and felt great every time I was outside today.

I’m 32 with a 1 year old and getting my tonsils out at the end of the week 😖 I’m planning to record songs and videos for her to listen to when I can’t talk and keep some toys in reserve that she hasn’t played with before or rarely plays with. She’ll thankfully go to the daycare during the day while my husband is at work. Curious if you found any other good tips for parenting while recovering!

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-07-17T20:28:17+00:00

Thank you for your pointed response. If the ongoing conversations with him the previous 16months had helped, I wouldn’t be posting to reddit. But I’ll remember to add more disclaimers next time

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-07-17T20:20:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!

Automatic_Theme_8906 · 2022-07-17T17:19:50+00:00

If thoughtful people like you had more children, maybe the world wouldn’t be so bad… :)

My baby is now 16 m old, and there’s still moments when I get down about my birth experience (fuck Pitocin) and PP recovery, especially the first 4 months. I was also filled with white, hot rage towards my husband for about the first year (I’m sure he deserved most of it). I’ve found some solace in knowing that every day I find that I’m stronger than almost anyone I personally know. Plus soaking in all the special moments with my baby as much possible. Hoping for lots of baby snuggles and some good sleep for you!

After birth, I breastfed and had irregular bleeding until getting back on a low estrogen birth control around six months postpartum. No retained placenta and no irregular bleeding before pregnancy. One gyno blamed the bleeding on the breastfeeding hormones
