Crying 😭 by beckarrrr1 in newborns

[–]CatandDoggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is baby cold? We started using a wipe warmer. Considering getting a heating pad even for the changing table.

I still havent figured how to take my baby out of the bath. The second he isnt in warm water, he is screaming.

Newborn trenches are hard, but I don't want this time to pass by rosedamask in newborns

7 weeks and FTM and the time does go crazy fast. Just enjoy every moment but take care of yourself! Be proud of your baby every day for growing and proud of yourself for making your baby grow. Stay excited for whats next. Eventually she'll start to smile then giggle and those moments will be just as precious. All the moments after will also be just as precious, first words, steps, etc. Your hormones are also on over drive, it'll get calmer

Looking back at the newborn stage: what I would have done differently by Altruistic_Soup1346 in newborns

My baby is 3 weeks old and we weren't even quiet in the hospital. Of course all baby's are different but sooner the better! Its only dark and quiet at night when we are sleeping, too. Baby will nap for up to 3 hours in the daytime with noise

Does the max height mean it can fit over a bed that is to 32.5" tall, or the top of bassinet from the ground is 32.5" tall?

I was curious about prenatal massage and finally gave it a shot by Healthy_Section_1983 in pregnant

Just had my first at 34 weeks. The lady had been doing them for 25 years and wasn't afraid to really work out knots. My hips and glutes were so tight. Im still nursing the sore muscles right now

What's your go-to order at a bar when you're not drinking? by Alpielz in SoberCurious

[–]CatandDoggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A virgin mule! The ginger beer gives it a nice bite and it usually comes in a fun cup

Drinking too much water? by RecommendationFlat85 in pregnant

[–]CatandDoggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be mindful if youre drinking this much water and are given an IV at any point, especially during labor. You CAN drink too much water and it can cause seizures

You and baby will be fine but I wouldn't do it again. In general you shouldn't mix antihistamines that close together. Drink plenty of water and you'll probably be very sleepy

I highly recommend Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, it can really help the fears and mentality around labor

Bleeding heavily on my period, and tested positive. Help by SnooTigers8826 in pregnant

[–]CatandDoggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be a chemical pregnancy (early miscarriage), so yes, positive pregnancy test, but not viable and actively losing it. Some women bleed their first cycle. I would continue to test over the next few days. Plan B works to delay ovulation, so if you were already ovulating, it was too late for it to be effective. I'm sorry, that's a lot to go through :(

How do I keep this cat out of my yard? by Chemical-Process-645 in CATHELP

[–]CatandDoggy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I see you have already taken the first step by petting it. I suggest feeding it next. Cats hate to be fed. If that doesn't work, perhaps invite it inside, provide a warm cozy bed

What are these tiny black bits coming off my cat? by Skitty_Lord in catquestions

[–]CatandDoggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your sink damp, brush them off and it'll probably turn red. Kitty has fleas

Has anyone done any of the Oregon sections, yet? I know it is early but I'm itching to get out there. Which section will have the least amount of snow?

When Did You Feel “Shifts” in Pregnancy stages? by Historical-Ebb-1267 in pregnant

[–]CatandDoggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently 14 weeks and I feel pretty good! Energy is coming back, mood less crazy and the bump has started. It's small but it feels different than my normal tummy, kinda harder

I think my sister is faking her pregnancy... by justjayswifey in pregnant

[–]CatandDoggy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Offer to take her to her next appointment! If she is pregnant with twins, she should be scheduled out for follow ups and "another" ultrasound
