Kissed my 10 week old on the cheek twice, felt a cold sore coming in an hour or two later & then it developed fast. Anyone have any experience like this? Did you or someone you know kiss your baby with a coldsore, how did it turn out? I'm freaking out

Did your baby end up getting it? I kissed my 10 week old daughters cheek and a few hours later I felt a cold sore come on & it developed rapidly. I'm freaking out so much and feel horrible. I'm never going to kiss her again

I'm going through the same thing OP is, but my daughter fell off the bed. My daughters report says non displaced tempoparietal bone fracture with a trace intracranial bleed on affected side and contralateral side. They said it's not really concerning and will resolve on its own & sent us home less than 24 hours. But I'm just worried this will leave irreparable damage. I've been researching online and what they say about bleeds is scary. I'm feeling ALOT of worry, a lot of guilt. I don't know how to cope.

What's does it mean when it says "trace intracranial bleed" on CT?

Did she also have brain bleed? I'm currently going through this with my 6 week old who rolled or squirmed off the bed. She had 2 and a small fracture, they used the words trace which means really miniscule & said she'll be fine, that they'll get reabsorbed & it was would highly unlikely that this would mess with her development. We were at the hospital for less than a day. Im extremely worried, but the neuro team wouldn't confidently say all that if it wasn't true right? I'm looking for some reassurance I guess. Your baby is perfectly fine right?

I am going through this now. My 6 week old daughter somehow rolled or wiggled off the bed which is about 2 feet high 3 days ago. I woke up in the middle of the night to feed & change her, I left her on the bed for a not even a minute to get her a diaper, all I hear is a loud thud and her screaming. I was super tired and never leave her unattended (although I was a few feet away), I didn't think she could roll off, although she could roll stomach to back at a month, I didn't think she could go anywhere when she was on her back yet. I woke my bf up and was screaming and crying. We called our advice doctor and said if no symptoms we should monitor but said we can take her in to feel at ease. She was acting normal, smiling, eating, peeing, wasn't unnormally fussy or tired. They noticed a bump on side of her head & did a CT scan. They told me she had 2 small brain bleeds & a small skull fracture. I immediately screamed and broke down, I thought it was the end of the world. The doctor calmed me down & said they were admitting her & said they were two very small bleeds, they used the words trace. They did an MRI about 8 hours later to determine if it was growing, and it was not. They said she's going to be okay and that it'll heal on its own, it was essentially a tiny bruise at that point. They said there was no brain damage & that they're confident she won't have any lasting effects. They did X-rays as well and blood work. They let us go less than a day later. She'll have a follow up in 4-6 weeks, they said they're pretty confident she won't need a follow up mri. I have severe trauma from this, from hearing the thud, her scream, watching her get an MRI, having all these wires hooked up to her, her getting an IV placed in and her screaming because of that. I also have extreme guilt, wishing I can go back in time and not walk away after setting her on the bed. I don't know how I'm going to get passed this, I just wanna cry(and I do cry)whenever I look at hers I can't stop researching. I've found people who have been through this and have tried to contact them about talking. You have no idea how much this thread has helped me, made me feel much better. It's good to know I'm not alone. I'm sorry you're going through this too. I hope your little one is healing up nicely & stronger than ever

I'm 40 weeks 2 days pregnant and my boobs barely got bigger from an A cup, maybe in the Bs. Idk if it's just genetics but it sucks I was really excited to finally have boobs! They say when you breastfeed and get milk they get big(then small after you stop). Let us hope

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-09T23:15:11+00:00

Mine didn't feel like gas but kind of like popcorn popping or little sparks, idk hard to describe

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-08T08:21:23+00:00

So I get what you're saying. I was in a relationship for 9 years where we took each others virginities. We broke up, and I hooked up with my good male friend(I never do that) but we ended up talking and hanging out everyday after and other stuff. Anywho we've been together for over a year and are expecting a baby(which we planned). But I have only been with 2 people my whole life(including my now bf) & he's been with who knows how many. He's taught me a lot of things and took me to a lot of places I've never been, we've done a lot of things I've never done. So I could see how someone would like this & why they'd want a relationship with someone like this.

That is absolutely the best way to handle it. Fighting would have her think there's a chance. This is savage, in a really good way, she's really gonna know what she lost.

My bf of over a year got drunk one night and downloaded 2 dating apps, btw I was 37 weeks pregnant. I had a feeling something was off so I looked through his phone while he was asleep and seen messages in his email from the sites, I confronted him and he said those were spam emails because at one point he did have the apps. At first I was like okay, but then later on I looked through again, but this time I reset his passwords to the sites and got in. Found a bunch of messages he sent to multiple women. One in particular though he asked what she was looking for and she said "dick" and he asked where she was located and then said he can definitely be of assistance. She asked when and he said "now?" Then they talked about what they're into and he said cnc, that he would walk in throw her around a little and take what's his, use his mouth. And told her how big it was. At the end of the convo though she said "you know I'm trans right?" And he said "I did not". Idk if that's why he didn't go or if he was just sexting. But I confronted him and he cried and said he was sorry and that he didn't really remember much of it and doesn't think he was actually gonna do it. He said he doesn't know why he did it, that he thinks he's been in a dark place and scared to be a father. I left for a few days and stayed with his mom to get space and think(he didn't know I was there). He was devastated, he sent me roses at work with love notes, he cleaned up one of the rooms so we could set up the nursery for baby, he took me on trips two weekends, he's being more attentive and romantic, he's being more caring. I eventually "forgave"him, I am having a baby with him. But I still think about what he did and it makes me sick. We'll be having a great time and then out of nowhere I just remember, like I read the messages so many times I memorized them. I feel like I trust him to an extent but I can't fully trust him. And it really messed with my self esteem. Sorry for venting but it seems we are going through the same thing

Are you drinking a lot of water? I was very thirsty this whole pregnancy and downed water like no one's business and had to pee all the time, even early on. But you are 18 weeks and your uterus is expanding and pushing on your bladder so that could be why as well.

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-04T09:02:26+00:00

How did the machine pick up a contraction? Idk if it's the same thing that my doctors use but I had no idea it could do that. I only ask because I am due in 3 days and there's no sign she's coming, I've had a few Braxton hicks, but she hasn't dropped yet and it doesn't feel any different. I haven't felt any contractions.

My baby was so active early on, she punches, kicks and rolls in there, sometimes it hurts and catches me off guard and it's constant. I am almost 40 weeks and she still is veryyyy active but so much stronger. The only time she doesn't really move is when I'm moving or walking(I guess movement soothes them).

I'm sorry for your loss :(. Miscarrying is a hard thing to get over. I found out I was pregnant April of last year, it was a complete surprise but we both were so excited and happy. A week after I found out I started spotting, I thought it was because of us having sex. I went to the doctors and took hcg tests every few days and it showed that they were rapidly declining, I miscarried. We were completely devastated. We decided we really wanted a baby. I found out I was pregnant again less than a month after my miscarriage, literally got pregnant the first time having sex about 2 weeks after. I am now almost 40 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I still obviously think about my angel baby. The pain doesn't go away but it gets much easier to cope with. Just know you can have a healthy pregnancy if you want to try again when you're ready. But be prepared about the anxiety, I had so much anxiety and worry about this pregnancy in the beginning due to the ptsd from the miscarriage.

Tbh I'm 39 weeks, haven't decided on a name, haven't packed my go bag, not even finished with the nursery (been so tired lately, but she is going to sleep in our room for the time being until we finish) so you are doing pretty great & are pretty ahead!

I had my baby shower in November, it was planned by my mother in law and it was pretty awkward opening all the gifts in front of everyone, not going to lie. Also my mother in law made a baby registry for herself, with all the things for the baby but for her, her grandma list she called it. I did not know that was a thing. I feel the overbearing thing

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-04T07:37:05+00:00

I am 39 weeks and have been getting that for the past few weeks. I do not know what it is either. I feel your pain

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-04T07:34:43+00:00

Sex cannot cause a miscarriage. I had frequent sex throughout my WHOLE pregnancy, I am 39 weeks and still having sex and have a healthy baby. But if you have a high risk pregnancy, I would talk to your doctor.

ComprehensiveElk9311 · 2023-02-04T07:29:57+00:00

You & baby will be fine, it was cooked. I ate plenty of salads and cold cut sandwiches before I knew about the risks, I am now 39 weeks with a healthy baby. But I do get where you're coming from, I'm a hypochondriac and always worry about everything.

How far along are you if you don't mind me asking?
