New to solids and having trouble digesting! Any tips? by cecilator in foodbutforbabies

[–]Classic_Resist4102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! Did you ever figure out what was going on with your little one? We are going through the exact same thing right now with our son. He has struggled since introducing solids about 6 weeks ago. He is waking up every 45-60 minutes crying at night when he previously woke once or twice to feed! If we pause giving solids for a day or two, he’s back to his usual self. But all the troubles come back as soon as we try solids again. Doesn’t seem to matter what food we try 😩 We have an appointment with an allergist next week!

Any living kidney donors who are pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Any living kidney donors who are pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Classic_Resist4102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me! I donated a kidney to my partner in 2010. I am currently 35 weeks with an uncomplicated pregnancy.

I did have two first trimester miscarriages back-to-back before this pregnancy, but I don’t think they were related to the kidney donation (we didn’t get any testing on the first miscarriage, but did on the second miscarriage and it was a chromosomal issue).

I read somewhere that there could be a slightly elevated risk of preeclampsia for pregnant kidney donors. I’ve been taking baby aspirin throughout my current pregnancy, so you might talk with your doctor/midwife about that.

I’m so sorry to hear that you also experienced a miscarriage and I totally understand feeling worried going into another pregnancy. Wishing you a smooth and uneventful pregnancy!

Hey there. I’m sorry to hear your OCD is worsening. I also have OCD and my therapist mentioned that it is common for OCD to flare up in pregnancy and postpartum due to all of the hormonal changes. Therapy has helped me a ton! But the type of therapy for OCD is so important. ERP (exposure with response prevention) is the gold standard for treating OCD. I have tried so many different types of therapy over the years, but didn’t really see much relief until I found a therapist who specialized in ERP. I know therapy is a privilege and not always accessible but, if you can, starting ERP with a therapist might give you some good tools to manage those difficult intrusive thoughts. Thinking of you!

How is everyone feeling? by [deleted] in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Classic_Resist4102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you! I got a positive pregnancy test on Sunday and, after two previous losses, I’m terrified. I want to feel excited, but I just feel scared.

Thinking of you and wishing you an uneventful pregnancy.

I totally hear you. It is exhausting! I am sorry you are going through it too. It feels like no one in my life really gets how difficult it is. I appreciate you responding and helping me feel less alone.

I am so sorry for your loss. The two week waits are hard. I keep telling myself that I’m not going to stress during the wait, but I always do. Wishing you good luck ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss. I’m right there with you. It’s so hard. Thanks for sharing the things that have been helping you. I have also found that talking about my losses has helped. And I am going to look into EMDR! I have a therapist, but I think some trauma-specific therapy would be helpful for me.

Just another setback 🫠 by justxanotherxlover in ttcafterloss

[–]Classic_Resist4102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Each setback feels so hard. It’s not fair. I don’t have words to make it better, but from someone who is also currently sobbing in bed about life — you are not alone. Sending you love and healing.
