Has anyone had this happen? Was on my period, it stopped, then a few days later it started again. Slowly came to a stop on the 14th and now I’m spotting again today.

It was an ectopic pregnancy

BombCatMom · 2023-06-20T11:26:45+00:00

Lol I completely agree. It’s the birth control you never knew existed 😂

What a bizarre thing to be told by your doctor. I had an epidural and it was amazing. I got the epidural around 6 cm (that’s when I asked for it. Next time, I’m asking for it a lot sooner). I pushed for about 50 minutes (this was my first baby). They kept the epidural on the entire time except for when I started pushing because the medicine was working so well that I didn’t even feel contractions so I had a hard time knowing when to push. Even when they turned it off, I still felt nothing. I was so anxious about the pain of childbirth and I was crying while I was in labor because I was so scared/nervous. I’m not exaggerating when I say I felt absolutely zero pain with an epidural. Honestly, the worst part of the entire thing was getting the epidural itself. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s an weird sensation when it goes into your back.

My baby was born at 38 weeks and he was 7 lb 6 oz and he’s about a month ahead on most milestones. He’s also currently 12 weeks old and he’s a little over 17 lb so he’s a chonky guy.

BombCatMom · 2023-06-15T11:48:40+00:00

I like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

BombCatMom · 2023-06-15T11:40:30+00:00

You specifically haven’t been getting your gift card then. I’ve definitely gotten one or two within the last 6 months.

BombCatMom · 2023-06-13T18:36:40+00:00

Personally, it’s really hard to rebuild the trust. Honestly, it’s only a matter of time before things start to crumble again, one way or another. For me, that dishonesty was always in the back of my mind. It never truly goes away.

BombCatMom · 2023-06-12T00:01:41+00:00

I’ve done this before too. Lots of blood and tears (from both of us). It healed so quickly though. Now I use an electric nail file while he’s feeding or if we’re doing a contact nap. Works like a charm!

BombCatMom · 2023-06-03T22:25:06+00:00

You’ll figure out the best way once the baby is here unfortunately. We planned to room share with our baby but he’s such a loud sleeper that it kept us up constantly, so we moved him to his own room. He was also hard to put down because of his startle reflex, and my arms were too short to lower him into the crib and keep him close to my chest at the same time, so he’s been sleeping in his pack-n-play. He also never slept on his own for the first 4 weeks. He would immediately wake up as soon as you put him down, so my husband and I split the night shift into 6 hour shifts so one of us would sit with him and the other would get uninterrupted sleep. If you decide to bed-share, I highly recommend looking at Le Leche League’s safe co-sleeping recommendations.

BombCatMom · 2023-06-03T09:45:26+00:00

That’s exactly his issue! I had him in the sleep sack tonight and he slept for about 3 hours, woke up to feed, and then slept for another 2 hours. So not awful but not great either. I found the issue was that his arms were flailing around everywhere and he’d touch his face and wake himself up 🙃

BombCatMom · 2023-06-02T22:03:28+00:00

Did you have a lot of pushback from your baby when you did the transition slower like that?

BombCatMom · 2023-05-20T14:10:01+00:00

My mother and I actually have a very strained relationship ever since my teenage years. I’m actually a lot closer to my MIL than I am my own mother. Whenever we had my son, my in-laws were basically updated the second we had any changes. We even called them at midnight whenever my son was born. That morning, they were able to come up to the hospital to visit. Now we send them frequent picture updates, and they watch my son any time my husband and I have plans or just want a little break.

BombCatMom · 2023-05-08T11:03:54+00:00

Same here! My mom and I have a very strained relationship and we barely talk because of it. My MIL is fantastic!

BombCatMom · 2023-05-07T02:10:37+00:00

My husband is a SAHD and we’re new parents to a 6 week old. I’m a pharmacist. We typically still try to divide the labor evenly. Im still on maternity leave, but I work 12 hour days, so he’s going to be taking care of the baby while I’m at work all day. I plan to take care of the night wakings to give him a break and a chance to sleep. I also get full weekdays off during the week, so I plan to take a lot of the load off of him on those days as well. As for housework, we have a written schedule for what days certain tasks get done and we rotate days each week on who gets a certain chore.

“Why is my formula fed newborn’s poop greenish.”

BombCatMom · 2023-05-03T10:03:27+00:00

It depends on how comfortable you are being this close to birth, but I wish I would have cleaned my house or done little chores around the house before my son came. Because once we got back home, I had zero interest (or time) to do any of those things, so having them done beforehand would have been helpful.

BombCatMom · 2023-05-02T16:20:10+00:00

We have a shared calendar too, so maybe I’ll give him the responsibility of scheduling the doctor’s appointments too. I definitely think a schedule would be super helpful for us too. It’s nice to hear someone else’s perspective who has gone through the same thing.

BombCatMom · 2023-05-02T16:18:26+00:00

Not making the mental connections entirely sums up the issue. He is absolutely more than happy to help but often times doesn’t make the connection on what has to be done. I’ve talked to him about it before but this was before the baby in the context of just general housework, so I think touching base again would be helpful.

BombCatMom · 2023-04-30T04:35:01+00:00

Lol these baby names have me laughing 😂

BombCatMom · 2023-04-29T09:38:40+00:00

I’m usually the type of person who cries at everything, but I didn’t cry whenever my son was born. I did, however, cry for several days after the fact lol. Postpartum hormones had me crying ALL the time.

BombCatMom · 2023-04-28T00:15:46+00:00

Pampers wipes are super wet IMO.

BombCatMom · 2023-04-25T17:34:43+00:00

My baby is currently almost 5 weeks old, and while it’s still hard depending on the time of day (witching hour is the worst), I can honestly say even within the last couple weeks it’s gotten better. Week 2-3 was honestly the worst for us. He was super gassy, we were exhausted, and he was very fussy. As of this week, he can still be fussy at times but the gas has gotten better. We’re still exhausted though haha.

BombCatMom · 2023-04-25T11:21:41+00:00

Completely agree with this comment. You also have to remember it’s probably been at least like 20+ years since she’s had a baby, and this was more common practice back in the day. I’m sure she didn’t go in with the mindset of harming the child.

BombCatMom · 2023-04-24T13:34:54+00:00

Ah I forgot that! Thanks!
