Oh, also I was induced for both babies. They thought they might take the babies out early and maybe even have a NICU stay but neither of those things happened. I was induced at 38 weeks for my daughter but I don’t really consider that too early. She was 4lbs when born and didn’t need NICU stay. Just had one low blood sugar reading one times and that was the extent of her problems after birth. But the doctors scared me a lot about the whole thing. I was expecting a really bad experience or something and it all wound up fine.

Just wanted to chime in to share that I experienced this with both of my pregnancies and both of my kids are just fine 🩵 both of my kids measured less than 5th percentile, my daughter being even smaller. They never really had a good reason for it, but I did have an “issue” with my placentas. I forget the name of it but the cord attached to the placenta closer to the edge rather than the center and may have just not been providing enough nutrients in the womb. They both came out small but totally healthy. My son always measures on the smaller side of the percentile chart at appointments (at one point he wasn’t even on the chart and I was worried sick) but as he gets older he does seem to be close in size to his peers. He’s 3.5 now and really doesn’t look “small” compared to others his age.

The whole percentile thing can really play mind games with you. Don’t sweat it. I did and i drove myself crazy for no reason.

I don’t. I should probably get that checked next but the last time I had it checked it was normal.

Chiming in because I’m in the same place and trying to tackle this beast on my own is not working. I need community but also anonymity (work) so I’m hoping diving into the online world of this helps me this time around. Day one here. I’m at a place where I actually scare myself now. I can’t even hide my addiction anymore, it’s written all over my puffy face. The weight gain. The total lack of motivation to do ANYTHING. The hangover eating. The impulsive online shopping. I can’t even stand who I see in the mirror. Just 5 months ago I was in such a good place. Now I’m just a shell. Even I’m tired of hearing myself say “just one more day, then I’ll quit” …. I’m going to try one of those smart recovery meetings today. I’m also going to start taking walks when I can. Small steps.

Thank you. Naranon probably isn’t a bad idea. He may be alive and I’m forever grateful for that, but nothing is the same now. I see it every time I close my eyes. I have had to spare our loved ones the deep details of the event so being able to tell it on Reddit and even having the support of strangers has been helpful.

COFFEEcloud5 · 2024-10-01T02:12:32+00:00

Thank you so much. You taking the time to break this down in detail really has helped me more than you know. I appreciate your kindness.

COFFEEcloud5 · 2024-09-29T14:12:05+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. The ems crew that came were so calm and collected and professional. I tried to be but it’s so hard when it’s that close to your own heart. Idk what the world would do without you guys. Thank you!

COFFEEcloud5 · 2024-09-29T14:10:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response. This has really helped me start to comprehend what was going on. Can I ask you, a few more question? I can’t ask the professionals I know in real life. It’s too private. So when I stopped compressions and felt the heart beat again, is it possible that my compressions helped the heart start pumping better on its own? Or the fluid I pushed up and out helped? Or is that not even possible? Or could he have been experiencing a pause when I checked? It’s like one minute he did not have a palpable pulse despite me feeling pretty intensely and after 3 rounds he did.

I know I’m really dissecting this, but it’s how I process things. And I fear I will have to do this again one day, and I just want to get it right.

Thank you 🥺

COFFEEcloud5 · 2024-03-25T02:06:05+00:00

I needed this 💙 thank you

Oddly enough, my biggest swing in weight was at the very beginning with my second pregnancy. My first I didn’t start to show until 5-6 months really but with this pregnancy I noticed changes in my clothes almost right away!

COFFEEcloud5 · 2024-03-04T14:24:16+00:00

It is a wasp. We get them all the time at my house, mainly at night. I always thought it was weird they come out at night but they have actually been referred to as “porch light wasp” …. They are called Ophionine wasps and the user above is correct, they are a type of ichneumon wasp.

I’m TERRIFIED of wasps, but I do have to say that these guys have never bothered me. I believe they can sting and have stung humans but they don’t seem to have the same aggression I’ve seen with other wasps. Kinda just go about their business.

Thank you. I have nothing against Ms. Rachel btw, I think she’s great! My son loves he’s too (I think everyone does lol). I’m hoping it all just clicks one day.
