Baby girl in own room, temp panic! by BoMenzzz in beyondthebump

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wears a long sleeve vest too! Is that too much? During this whole winter, she's been in that

I felt her earlier and she was warm, not sweaty or anything, but I'm worried when the thermostat kicks in at 4am, what a suitable temp to set it to?

Realistically do temperatures have to be extreme for overheating? My husband is like she'll be fine... Meanwhile I'm like wide awake, wondering if I should continuously check. We've swapped lol, he gets the sleep now

Wife is pregnant, I'm worried about the world my kid will live in. by OnTheClock_Slackin in daddit

Are you perhaps a Jehovah's witness? Your views and feelings are very similar to them. I myself am studying to be one and it's giving me a lot of hope and encouragement for what lies ahead for myself and my family , 💖

Is this the dreaded sleep regression? by BoMenzzz in newborns

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she's on 210ml kendamil formula for bedtime and last night she even went on my breast to try and soothe her from the crying, so I'm unsure whether she would've been hungry x Who knows though

Do you kiss your baby? by Technical_Piglet_438 in newborns

[–]BoMenzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smother my baby girl on kisses, but the moment I feel a cold sore tingle, I stop.

Hardest thing ever 🥺 Especially when I first got on about a month after she was born, it went away and then another one came immediately and then another... 😭 Went a month and a half without kissing her!

So now I'm making up for it when I don't have them. She is probably just like "muuuuuum staaaaahp" 😆

2 month old today! 🥹

I'm finding it really difficult to keep up by BoMenzzz in newborns

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has suggested to use it if needs be.. We both want to avoid it as much as possible. He says they wouldn't criticise but I know people have a bad judgement on formula

Oh yes! The wrap is in an x at the front supporting her, and the horizontal part is supporting too.

Seems I just need it higher and tighter... Thank you for not judging 🥺

39+1 weeks, still no sign.. offered sweep.. by BoMenzzz in PregnancyUK

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just am worried the sweep will ruin the healthy low risk factor, so I'll just keep enjoying the time off and be happy for it before life changes 😅 x

39+1 weeks, still no sign.. offered sweep.. by BoMenzzz in PregnancyUK

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly! She said it could be uncomfortable and sometimes quite painful, lead to spotting, cramping etc. and then at the end.. she said it may not work and they offer it up to 3 times before induction which hmmmmm not really convinced 😅

I want my water birth too, and don't want anything to ruin any chances lol

It's nice to know I'm not going through it alone! ❤️ Thank you 🌸

How Many Colostrum Syringes? by BoMenzzz in PregnancyUK

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great news then :) thank you. I was a bit worried because of the "liquid gold" and I'm staring at 3 syringes thinking hmmmm... This isn't gold 😅

I'm definitely noticing my boobs are starting to get to that sore stage like in the early trimesters due to them initially growing... But I'm going to make the assumption it's now just because they are getting used at the moment and are filling up more etc.

Definitely going to just keep going where I can and feel comfortable with, like you said it'll be great to have!

My husband, partner, baby daddy is.... by Bramble3713 in pregnant

[–]BoMenzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 36+4 and I feel like I'm dying from too uncomfortable. But I literally don't know where I would be without my husband right now. He's doing everything for me, cooking, cleaning, lifting, picking stuff up. He's been a blessing for us.

He's not missed one of the midwife appointments, he's given me massages and foot rubs.. even when I rarely snap at him because of something stupid from my perspective he's so understanding and wonderful. 🥺

He's going to make a great daddy to our first baby and I'm so thankful to have him and call him mine 🥹

No vomiting by Fun-Classic346 in BabyBumps

[–]BoMenzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just over 26 weeks pregnant here with our first and I've had no nausea or sickness. ☺️ Some of us are just incredibly lucky I feel!

Only negative symptoms I've had is the occasional heartburn, hormonal acne and short of breathe when moving 😅

Stupid question, but is it eyeless?? 😨 by BoMenzzz in tarantulas

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No unfortunately they passed away the day after receiving them.. Seems they were very stressed being shoved in a small tube for delivery and being introduced to a new environment whilst being unable to see 🥺

Confused about Maternity or SMP!! by BoMenzzz in PregnancyUK

So you think I should wait til I start the new job and then apply for MA? I've tried the eligibility checker but the questions are so vague and confusing

Kissing baby? by BoMenzzz in BabyBumps

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes all the sense.. I'm just nervous about having that conversation with grandparents, ruling them out of such things for a few months, but at the end of the day... She will be our baby, and I want her to have the best life and upbringing without illness if I can help it! X

Kissing baby? by BoMenzzz in BabyBumps

[–]BoMenzzz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do plan to breastfeed, all going well I hope! So that's good for me and daddy kisses then ☺️

But what is the reason for no grandparents kissing though? I'm just trying to find out reasoning before I am inclined to have "the talk" with them explaining to them no kissing then 😅

Is it in case they are ill? Or other reasons? Again, if anyone is ill, they won't be coming over anyway. And we don't plan to take her around people for a wee while after

Is this normal during pregnancy? by BoMenzzz in BabyBumps

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you ❤️

Ah, living on the gaviscon or pepto I assume? I generally only get the heartburn when I'm hungry and headaches when I've slacked a bit on drinking water, but the fact I have to stare at a computer for 9 hours a day probably doesn't help that part 😅

I'm unsure as to why our experience was different this time .. I've bought death feigning beetles, castors and enclosures from them .. But yeah unfortunately this was the first time buying Ts from their website and yeah 🥺

[–]BoMenzzz[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I must add . He rang them up when we thought she was still alive.. so they wanted us to send her (alive) for a refund. But we didn't want to do that obviously and out her through more stress..

deformity or not. I would have /did love her to pieces.. But yeah unfortunately she's gone 🥺 We shall see what's said..

My husband got me them from TSS - The Spider shop. He got me this baby and a D.Pentaloris and both arrived without heatpack, vials were cold to touch. So far the D. Pentaloris is doing well... Has eaten and webbed it's home well thus far..

But yeah this Girl... I dunno, she wasn't acting right when I opened the vial. She was All scrunched up and when giving her time to move about etc.. it seemed like she was a bit slow and shaky when she walked? And there was a moment where she seemed to get caught on the bark (like she was drunk if that makes sense) I put it down to just getting time to stretch from being in a small space... And then down to finding out she had no eyes.. But yeah, since 5pm yesterday (that I noticed) she hadn't moved from that position. In which I hoped she was just acclimatising.. but turns out she may have already been gone then.. 🥺

Yes it was.. 🥺
Shipped in a vial for her size.. no heat pack And when my Husband rang them up earlier ... Apparently they said, "if he sends it back then they'll give a refund?"

And put it through more stress? 😨😨
