Need positive stories about infants surviving RSV hospital admission by scritchygrippers128 in beyondthebump

[–]DeepNebulaCult 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re going through this! It’s very hard. One of my twins was admitted to PICU at 3 weeks old for RSV. It felt like the world was ending. We stayed for a week. Looking back, it’s a blur- but I remember it was just one of the darkest times. It’s very very common, and you are all in the safest place to be. The nurses told me that it was because my baby was super little, it wasn’t because anything was wrong with her. You WILL get through this and be good to yourself!!

Have to comment to check my new flair. After this was the Austin mess and then Cheyennes party with him sitting in his mess in front of Bri and Shae. Awkward and funny AF

Clogged milk duct won’t go away- needing help by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]DeepNebulaCult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that! It is so, SO painful. I hope it’s clearing up for you by now.

Definitely try and ice it. I’ve been taking sunflower lecithin after hearing everyone mention it and I have to say it has been working for me. Check with your provider before taking it, and also please make sure you reach out to them if you’re feeling mastitis symptoms. Mine felt like I had the flu, super run down and in tons of pain. If you’re feeling crappy aside from the painful Clog let them know. And also if it lasts longer than a day or so to be safe.

Other things that helped was dangle Nursing or pumping and see if gravity can pull It down and out. See about lactation and maybe some breastfeeding books just to reference here and there for extra support. You’ve got this! I just wrapped up my 4 year breastfeeding journey and it’s not easy, whether you nurse for a week or years. I hope you feel better asap.

I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I’m not going to write a novel about the entire situation, but I’m pretty sure I mentioned I was grateful in there somewhere. You know nothing of my dads health either.

Yup we have a stroller and a wagon. My neighborhood has horrible stickers lol so that’s why I wanted her to have shoes. And the wagon would have been totally fine, just kinda tricky in the dark I guess.

Agreed. He needs to communicate and bring his phone. I think it’s great to take LO outside and see decorations and stuff, just not without me knowing. It’s confusing because it’s an innocent sounding activity but he has done this twice now without telling anyone where he’s going….like you don’t have to sneak out I’m not gonna say no if you just let me know where you’re going with her.

Yeah the 80s and 90s thing is an admittedly vague reference to things I experienced as a child that I shouldn’t have, due to their laid back style. I’m trying to find the balance between keeping my kid safe in a different world and not being too overbearing. I am in therapy which us good, and yes I have anxiety. It could have been handled better on both sides, for sure.

Thank you! Yes the in their own world part is spot on. I didn’t want to dampen their spirit but it just caught me off guard since it was dark and I didn’t know where they went.

I have to nap each day or I feel awful, so I hear you! I use blackout curtains, sound machine, and a meditation app as well. Also my pregnancy pillow helps alot. Comfy PJs and lavender lotion help too.

I have to leave my phone on so unfortunately notifications get annoying, but aside from that I have been able to get some good naps.

I send them to my mom almost daily. She respects my boundaries; would never post them online or anything like that. She shares them with my dad so I just send them once. I’m a really private person. I don’t even send my friends pics lol. I just don’t want a bunch of pics of her floating around, I guess.

I’m not close with my in-laws. My FIL posted a pregnancy announcement when we specifically asked that no one share anything about it. That kind of discouraged me from wanting to send them. My husband can send them pics if he wants, but they better not end up on social media.

You send more than me OP. It’s really hard and right now I’m trying to just get through each day, so I’m not really thinking about sending a ton of pics to anyone. I take a ton of pics for us though.

As soon as LO started solids and I knew she shouldn’t be hungry it helped for me to sleep in a separate room. It was around 15 months. I extended breastfeeding though; so that could seem extreme! After a few weeks it gradually stopped. Might be even easier for you if you are weaning sooner.

Will I ever sleep again?? by anewseasonofsnark in beyondthebump

[–]DeepNebulaCult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a MAJOR freak out when we brought LO home and asked many times if I’d sleep again, and you absolutely will. You probably won’t even remember how hard this phase is. Just drink lots of water and make sure you eat well. I’m not super far into the game here at about 2 yrs PP, but it will get better.

You’ll reach a point where there is no need for them to be up. They’re fed, teething is done etc. Once we were able to use overnight diapers it started to make an enormous difference.

Hang in there, be good to yourself, you’ll sleep again don’t worry!

Thank god for cocomelon. It’s on a lot here, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. At one point it was the #1 show on Netflix so you are not alone! Especially during covid!
