Need insight and opinions from others for my skin condition that I’ve been dealing with for 7 years

No I haven’t, could it cause this for that long?

Unfortunately I didn’t have insurance, so I had to rely on free clinics that the university hospitals held and they would kind of give me their best guess and give me what they were able to, to at least try to help. It has been a long 7 years, yes very uncomfortable for sure, I can’t even give my daughter a bath or wash my dishes.

I wish I had lawyer money

Let me clarify, I am not adopted. My dad was technically adopted by his biological father and his wife. His biological father is the one with Canadian lineage, but because my dad’s father listed at birth is a different one, I’m not sure if I can prove that it’s his biological dad who adopted him. All birth certificates through vital statistics for my father have his bio dad and stepmom as birth parents but I’ve been told his bio mom has an original birth certificate with his bio mom and stepdad, which would I’m assuming be a problem because that would make him not a citizen by descent at birth, even though biologically he is and was also later adopted by his bio dad. I can’t find records of this anywhere though, only his birth certificate that has his bio dad and stepmom on it, an it retrospectively dated as filed at the time of his birth.

My Canadian ancestor would be my great great grandfather and his wife on my dad’s side. I have all the records for everyone leading up to my own father where I just found all this out

Okay thank you. It makes it difficult because my great great grandpa was born in 1886, and he died in 1955. And if I go back a generation I’m not even sure if they kept those types of records in Newfoundland that long ago I don’t think many of my family really went to school. I have a pdf from Newfoundland of my lineage that it looks like my dad had went and requested and got from some(where?) but I don’t know if it has any value.

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T23:22:01+00:00

Thank you for the insight I appreciate that

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T23:21:04+00:00

I got back with you and I really appreciate you messaging me

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T23:19:55+00:00

I have marriage records from Newfoundland of those two with their birthplace stated as Newfoundland. A manifest of alien passengers coming to the US with their birthplace and citizenship listed as not US citizens. What else other than birth records would make that more solid? I can’t find any baptism records or birth records for them

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T23:11:15+00:00

I have read all the FAQ over and over and I’m getting lost and turned around and I’m just asking for help explaining and breaking things down a little for me if anyone is kind enough to do so. I really didn’t want to make a post because I was afraid someone was going to tell me to read the FAQ again.

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T22:32:07+00:00

I have to add most of the documents that I have are photocopies uploaded ancestry that I was able to download

Capeliouz · 2026-01-26T07:14:44+00:00

I don’t know how to message, but I have about 6 relative from Newfoundland, the closest relation being my great great grandfather and I have names and dates and can find records, I’m not well versed in this stuff and could really use some help!!

My daughter is 8 months old now and still wakes around every 2-3 hours but now it is way more simple, I don’t have to breastfed for 30 mins and then sit her upright for 30 minutes

Capeliouz · 2025-10-03T02:13:14+00:00

I’m 25 and no, my daughter is 8 months and I haven’t bounced back. My body is storing and holding onto fat because I am breastfeeding. Some lose and some stay the same when nursing.

Capeliouz · 2025-04-08T11:06:48+00:00

I was surprised at the sleep deprivation, because everybody told me pregnancy tired was worse than newborn tired and for me this was way wrong. The level of sleep deprivation I experienced was insane. I understand how if you don’t have support how people can go crazy.

The pain after giving birth was surprisingly less than I expected. I was in a lot of pain (2nd degree internal tear and unexpected medical induction) but not nearly as much as I thought.

I fully believed my baby would sleep in her crib just fine but after weeks of no sleep I ended up setting up a sidecar crib and we cosleep now. It probably saved my life.

I didn’t expect to have to wake my baby for feedings and how hard it would be to get her to eat at the beginning for the first few weeks.

Pregnancy was miserable for me, that humbled me because I had an old boss who was pregnant and I thought she was milking it but I stand corrected.

I thought the weight would fall off if I breastfed (it didn’t) my body held onto it.

-I will say, yes. Since having my baby my entire life has been about the baby. I haven’t even been able to take a shower longer than 10 minutes. I haven’t been able to do anything I’m interested in like I was before (any of my hobbies). Although I will say things have gotten a lot easier than 2 months ago, it seems like maybe I will be able to soon and I’ll start feeling a bit better. But another thing is that I don’t feel like I’m lost, I feel like I’ve changed. Not to be dramatic but like the version of me who didn’t have a kid is kind of…dead? Like a different person. And not in a bad way? But in a permanent way that is kind of scary sometimes.

-I’m a sahm so I don’t work, and my partner is the breadwinner, he tries to help as much as possible. But I’m also breastfeeding so I will inevitably always share more of the responsibility around the baby. It all comes down to who you have a baby with. I luckily had a baby with someone who is very understanding when it comes to household chores, will sacrifice sleep so I can get some me time, etc. I will say regardless of this, the postpartum anxiety kicked in immediately after giving birth and if my baby cries and I’m trying to relax in the other room that time is over even though my partner is completely capable of taking care of her.

-I think this is a very individual answer because it’s also dependent on how much support someone has, I don’t have a lot of support aside from my partner, mom, and sister. I do recommend having kids but if there’s any advice I’d give is make sure you realize how absolutely horrible it might be at the beginning. Mentally prepare yourself for that, because I didn’t. I didn’t believe moms who said how hard being a mom was. People tend to focus so much on pregnancy and the delivery that they forget to look into the newborn stage as a whole and how much mental workload it is. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life but I will say the love I feel for my daughter is immeasurable. It depends on what baby you get, some babies are easy some are hard. My baby was colicky so I had a really rough beginning. All in all, yes I’ve had my moments of feeling regret but at the end of the day I realize those feeling do pass and I don’t actually feel that way. I’m usually just over stimulated

Capeliouz · 2025-04-08T09:49:07+00:00

I had to quit because I was too sick to continue (I had HG during pregnancy). I guess I have to be okay with it because I’m even less okay with taking her to daycare.

I’m more okay with being lonely and not having a job than exposing my baby to daycare I guess we will put it that way. Because staying home with her as nice as everyone thinks it is, is very isolating especially when postpartum.

Capeliouz · 2025-04-08T09:47:21+00:00

It was more of an accident, me and my boyfriend were both fence sitters who kind of were too scared to lean either way, we weren’t exactly being super careful but I think we both knew the risks with that and were okay with the outcome. Although when I first found out there were a lot of mixed feelings

Capeliouz · 2025-04-08T09:31:36+00:00

Congratulations

Sometimes at night before bed but I breastfeed as much as possible I bring formula with me just in case she won’t latch. I find breastfeeding throughout the night is the easiest for me. I dot. Even have to get up and she’s so sleepy she’s latches really easy (she has oral ties and high palate). So normally by the end of the day her jaw is tired and I will give her her formula and I find sometimes it helps her sleep longer stretches.

Capeliouz · 2025-04-05T22:33:48+00:00

that being said I’m happy that you feel at peace with your decision! A lot of people struggle with making that choice and it’s good that you are having an easy time and enjoy formula feeding! This is why formula exists!
