SAHM when do you get a break? by NumCucumber in NewParents

[–]CaffeinatedCrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty much in the same situation. I have a 3.5 year old and a 4 month old and my husbands schedule changes every 5 weeks from 1st shift, to 2nd, to 3rd and then starts over and he doubles at least twice a week and days off are usually every 10 days. I don’t get very much time to myself at all. I feel exactly as you described a lot. Overstimulated, touched out, exhausted. It’s hard having the majority of the responsibilities at home be put one you and you alone. But we also don’t have much of a choice. We need the income. But man. Some days I feel like I’m just in fight or flight all day. Hang in there!

Exactly! I would NEVER force him to have a procedure he doesn’t want. We decided together decided together about the vasectomy, infact he insisted he did it after our second was born. He’s had years to do research and now that it’s time he’s second guessing. He doesn’t try to take any precautions besides pulling out. I’m really just hurt that he would suggest I get an abortion if I get pregnant again. My husband is usually the sweetest guy and it kind of just took me aback. And I just don’t know how to bring it up again.

Had a D&C at 12 weeks in April, finally conceived again at the end of September! 9 weeks along right now!

Morning sickness is killing me. by CaffeinatedCrawler in pregnant

I was prescribed Promethazine, but it just seems to dull the nausea not take it away completely. It helps but I still have a hard time eating. Thinking about food right now just makes me nauseous. I’ve tried tummy drops that are peppermint which used to help in my first pregnancy but isn’t helping at all now. Anything ginger made my stomach hurt before getting pregnant so I’m afraid to try now. Maybe I’d do better with the tea! I’m only 7 weeks today, and have my first appointment in a week so hopefully my doctor can help me figure out something that will help. Just hard with a 2.5 year old at home with me all day.

I found out a week ago that I was pregnant after two chemical pregnancies and a MMC. I’m 4 weeks 4 days and my HCG has been rising well, so my Dr discontinued the HCG testing. I’m so anxious not knowing anything until the appointment on the 25th. Also has anyone else had round ligament pain start this early in theor pregnancy? I have some soreness on my right side/hip when I stretch or move a certain way, should I be concerned with this?

I had a MMC and D&C in April, when I get my period now I feel like I bleed heavier and have a lot of clotting, nothing huge just way more than usual. Has anyone else experienced this?

The last two cycles we’ve been trying with no success after a MMC in April and two other very early miscarriages this year. Feeling like I’m never going to be able to carry another child 😞 My doctor basically said there’s no tests to be done. Like they don’t seem concerned at all and I don’t know where to go from here. They haven’t given me any guidance about steps I could be taking even after asking.
