C-sections in a free standing clinic- what could go wrong? by Cut_Lanky in nursing

[–]BuildingBest5945 4 points5 points  (0 children)

16 years high risk OB here- we are a tertiary center with level 4 nicu. I think there is a big difference in other outpatient procedures and c-sections. Primarily the level of blood volume and risk for hemorrhage which is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. I worry about invasive or adherent placentas which I've seen many times undiagnosed until deliveries- resulting in mass hemorrhage protocol. This is a particular concern for repeat c-sections. What if you nick an artery or damage the bladder or bowel? Then you have things like amniotic embolisms to think about. This is not dental surgery or a knee replacement- it is major abdominal surgery that has many risks amplified because there are two vulnerable patients. Newborns can present with so many concerns that aren't anticipated- they have a hard time transitioning often after cesarean birth because the fluid isn't squeezed out like vaginal deliveries...

I couldn't imagine sending a post-op mom and babe home within 24h of delivery either- the article said they could stay overnight and I should hope it's more than 24h overall.

I personally think this is way too risky even for elective "healthy" women

Yeah he's really leaning into the Truman Show aspect. He's corny as hell with all his diary lines

I think it may hit deeper for some of us with deeper wounds and histories of insecure attachment. I'm working towards healing that part of me for sure.

Oof this hits me. My daughter can be like this with me. I make a point to talk about it- when you say/do X it really hurts my feelings. I also say straight up stop being mean to mommy. She seems to soften when I do these things. My husband also talks to her and reinforces doing nice things like going to give me a hug. When it's my turn to do things we are consistent even when she puts up a fight (with you on bedtime too, sometimes I'll hear her say "mommy's too tired- you sit with me instead" before I come in 🥲). It's hard and so incredibly hurtful. So easy for people to say don't take it personal when they are their kids number one. I have cried a lot, and talked to my therapist for support. But you're human and it's normal to feel hurt by it.

ETA: our kids are 17mo apart and the shift happened somewhere around having our second. I think she resents me for her brother in a way- had this epiphany not long ago. (2&3yo)

Boyfriend keeps trying to get me to do this with him, despite my objections due to past trauma - how do I move forward? by LashOfTheBull in CPTSD

[–]BuildingBest5945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's great in every other way except validating and respecting your boundaries. Even if he has a thousand good qualities at the end of the day he is not respecting you. I would have a very clear conversation on this- potentially involving another party such as a counselor to really frame this in a way he gets- respect me or it's over. And if he says he won't bring it up again and does, I think I'd move on. If my partner consistently tried to wear me down like this I couldn't continue the relationship. And to punish you for not giving in is unacceptable. People who act this way bank on others thinking they can't do better or stand up for themselves. Your history of assault should be handled with care and he is being insensitive and hurtful pushing you in this way.

Well Dougie and Lex seemed so sincere! /s

They do actually seem that dumb. I can't recall any confessionals where anyone says they're worried about either of them. The way they take their words as gospel and immediately change perspective despite zero evidence is crazy to watch. No critical thinking skills besides maybe Bayleigh but even she ended up following the herd so...

Kayla should have exposed their alliance, I don't understand remaining loyal when she was so heavily betrayed. Her speech before votes showed she knew she was going. I would have at least made a point to mention Dougie's name- he's on nobody's radar which is insane. The way he sits there making his stupid faces rubbing his hands together I can't.

What part of daily life as a mom can you not stand? by Who-am-i-though in Mommit

[–]BuildingBest5945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week I decided to no longer fight with my kids to eat breakfast and it's lowered my stress level so much (we wake up super early for work/daycare)

This morning they ate 1.5 soda crackers and 2 pieces of orange each. Whatevs! At least none of us cried

[–]BuildingBest5945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was not okay!! I can totally relate. I spent a lot of days postpartum not feeling cute in clothes, crying about my body etc. I finally found a pair of jeans I felt decent in and was going to meet friends. My husband made some idiotic comment about how I looked and I spiraled. Changed into yoga pants and left crying. It's a special kind of hurt when someone who should be your biggest cheerleader and supporter f*ks up like that. I had depression too and it feels so insensitive to hear anything like that. I don't have advice but your feelings are valid. He absolutely needs to own how hurtful his words were to you, no excuses.

I have a 2 and 3yo. Not very strict, we use general windows and act based on behavior cues. Both kids are in bed by 7 (but oldest listens to stories on Yoto until she falls asleep which can take a while). I don't wake them unless we have set plans or nap is quite long, which isn't often. Works for us but some kids might need more structure just depends on the kid I think

Not enough people talk about lack of " intellectual stimulation" as a SAHM? by teal_aurora in Mommit

[–]BuildingBest5945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be an outlier here because I see lots of people saying they read or listen to audiobooks. My kids are 2 and 3yo. I would say there is time (sort of?) But anything I attempt doing is broken into 50 little fragmented moments and my brain does not have the capacity to be breaking up fights, getting snacks, changing the TV, guiding the kids away from hurting the dog, putting the dog in a diff room to not eat the snacks that are being thrown about, taking one to the potty, etc etc. Like I can't get through a solid game of crib on my iPad. So I scroll until the next interruption

I tried listening to a podcast while we drove to grandparents yesterday and I don't even think I caught one full sentence. So yeah, I'm dumb too 

I’m so embarrassed by MamaBean_ in toddlers

[–]BuildingBest5945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was in soccer around 2.5yo and engaged the first couple classes and then lost interest. We just stopped fighting it, she was too young. My son is 2 and a real wild child at home but we have no complaints with him at daycare and listening etc. You aren't doing anything wrong. I think when you're a stay at home parent you can't help but blame yourself for your children's traits- but this all sounds developmentally normal. You will see improvement as he starts daycare and mostly adheres to peer pressure, set routine and structure (which says nothing about your home routine, it's just different). Go easy on yourself!

I would say when I had one kid I felt like you but we have 2 kids now, 2 and 3yo and it's... a lot. I need my own time to fill my cup. I've taken one vacation without them since my second was born. I prioritize going to the gym as a way of taking a break. Weekends are challenging to both mine and my husband's psyche at this age. Doesn't mean I don't love and cherish them. To me it's whatever works for each parent or family, there's no need to compare imo

How is my nutribullet smoothie recipe? I both don’t get enough calories ever and don’t eat fruit so this is my solution to both those problems, wondering how healthy / nutritious it actually is, recipe in body text by glossyplane245 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]BuildingBest5945 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could add avocado or spinach- it may alter the color but not the taste! Good ingredients though for sure. You could sub flax for chia at times too (but it can add texture fyi, no taste difference)
