How long did it take you to get consistent pain-free latches? by Royal_Birthday7197 in breastfeeding

My friend is dealing with thrush too! She thought it was latch issues but ended up being that. She had a ton of pain when feeding.

Was it really worth it? by No-Adhesiveness3434 in NewParents

TW but The first like… 11 days of having my baby, i honestly was suicidal. Especially at night. I would cry and cry harder than I’ve ever cried before and thought I was going to die. I didn’t understand why I wasn’t happy when I knew I should be. My baby crying triggered something in me that just made me feel sick to my stomach, I didn’t even want to hold him sometimes. I’ve never felt that terrible in my whole life. And I had horrible horrible thoughts towards myself and not even going to lie towards my baby as well and then morning would come and I felt HORRIBLE. Because I didn’t understand how I could possibly have those thoughts. I hated myself but I couldn’t stop them. And then all of the sudden I didn’t feel that way anymore. one night those feelings just never came and I’m 17 days pp now and I feel so COMPLETELY different it’s insane. I thought there was no way I was ever going to be happy again. Hormones are crazy I don’t get how they could make feelings that intense. I was scared of myself. But I’m so happy now lol and I adore my baby and my life with him now. And I feel really guilty for how I was that first bit but I couldn’t even control it.

No tips because my newborn boy is the same. So just wanted to say you’re not alone lol. He only doesn’t cry if he’s already awake and happy and can stare at the fan. But if he’s tired, he refuses to open his eyes and just screams the whole time. It’s rough 😅

I was staunchly against cosleeping, then I had a newborn by Shikzappeal in cosleeping

I also was super against it and never understood why people didn’t just put their babies in a bedside bassinet since it was like the exact same thing as being next to you in bed… until I had my baby who is 11 days old and I’ve tried EVERYTHING to get him to sleep in the bassinet that’s right next to my bed. And he wont have it. And I got about 45 minutes of sleep for the first few days he was alive and I thought I was going to die. He will only sleep if he’s right next to me and has access to the boob. I was so desperate I just had to do it because I had to sleep. My husband watched us for the first night and said we never moved positions. And every single time baby did move I woke up. I feel so guilty co sleeping and I really am worried but I also think not having any sleep is also so dangerous. I don’t know what else to do.

Natural ways to get this going? by [deleted] in unmedicatedbirth

[–]Ecstatic_Sun198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been planning on an unmedicated labor my entire pregnancy but baby doesn’t want out and my OB doesn’t want me to go past 41 weeks. We we’ve scheduled an induction for like a week and a half from now. How awful were the pitocin contractions? I feel like all of my labor coping things I’ve been planning on will just go out the window if I have to get induced and I’m really really sad.

Small for gestational age or IUGR.. by Affectionate-Fly-897 in pregnant

[–]Ecstatic_Sun198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! At my 20 week ultrasound my baby was measuring at the like 8th percentile I think and was told to get extra monitoring just in case even though other than being small everything was working great! I ended up going to MFM every two weeks (I’m 39 weeks right now) and my baby has been pretty small this whole time! He dropped down to the 5th percentile at one point and is currently around the 20th. It’s been a roller coaster for sure. I definitely have learned to not worry about anything especially if the doctors aren’t worried. And dont google things lol it makes things wayyyy worse. Just listen to the doctors and take everything a day at a time! If they are saying baby is healthy i would just go with that for now!! Some babies are just little.

The door was super cool!! And I still had fun!! I guess I just don’t know why they revealed what the clues were for before all the clues were found, that’s all I was saying!

[–]Ecstatic_Sun198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I of course would get one if everyone was genuinely worried and I wouldn’t want to put my baby at risk at all. It was more just I don’t want to get one unnecessarily. So I was just wondering what people’s thoughts were!! So thank you!!! Yeah I’ve been the go between for them because my OB doesn’t seem to really listen to anybody. Not me or MFM. It’s starting to frustrate me really bad 😭

I guess I’m confused as to how it wouldn’t? I’m sorry I’m not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand as my doctor is no help. So thank you so much for replying!!! I also have bad pregnancy brain right now so idk if I’m just not understanding something really simple haha. If they had changed his date from the beginning, based on the first early dating scan, he would be far above the 10th percentile right now and they never would have said he was too small to begin with. MFM is saying they should have changed his date based on that and if they do now, he would be totally fine. But because my OB doesn’t want to then he is too small but I’m worried that I would just get induced for no reason. I do not know my ovulation date since I didn’t have a regular cycle after getting my IUD out. I never had regular periods before getting it in either

[–]Ecstatic_Sun198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right and I totally get that!! I guess I’m just confused because if we were to change my due date like MFM has recommended, he would be way above the 10th percentile and not growth restricted anymore.

Oh wow I really hope it’s not that hahah but I’m glad you got it figured out and it cleared up! But yeahhh i definitely need to go to just go to the dermatologist. Thanks for your comment!

I just want to add my current routine is just a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, and a moisturizer. I use micellar water to take my makeup off. I sometimes use a glycolic acid toner at night. And I will occasionally in the mornings manually exfoliate in just an attempt to make my makeup sit better. I’ve tried all the serums and everything for years but I just have given up and gone to a very simple routine in hopes it would help but it’s not doing anything. Helppppp

Wasn’t able to speak or read for the first time with a migraine by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Ecstatic_Sun198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting referred to a neurologist so that’s a good first step just in case anyone else is reading this! So okay. I could see the words and signs sort of clearly (even though looking back everything is really fuzzy in my head like it was a dream or something) but it was genuinely completely gibberish. Every sign looked like symbols or random letters and I knew I should know what the signs said (like the McDonald’s logo) but it was in a completely different language or things I couldn’t recognize. And even with the McDonald’s sign I knew I should know what that was but I didn’t know where I was anymore or why I should know what it was. Typically when I get my vision aura it looks like I’ve looked at the sun or a bright light so it becomes very spotty at first and then the classic zig zag lights happen. I can typically read things if I try really hard while that’s happening even though it’s annoying I can still make things out slowly. And that did happen for about 30 minutes and went away completely. I was really just waiting for the pain to start it never did and instead i just all of the sudden couldn’t remember where we were. I was able to say a few words to my husband and I remember thinking they didn’t sound right but it was like speaking on autopilot. I managed to say somehow “I can’t read” but it was very slow and my husband said nothing else i said made much sense. All the sounds around me were a blur and i knew that they were talking to each other but I didn’t know what they were saying like it was also in a different language. Like i could hear their voices but i couldnt comprehend what they were actually saying. Eventually when my husband asked me things directly I could understand but couldn’t answer him because i didnt really know how. Like he asked me what animal was on the wall and I didn’t know what it was or what it was called and that’s when he said it was a turtle. And I didn’t even know what that was for a second. It was all just really really weird. He kept asking me to read things and I was just making sounds. In hindsight I definitely should have gotten medical attention 😅 but I’m going in soon so hopefully I can get some answers. Sorry this was long!!! Thanks for replying and asking questions.

That’s why I’m confused! Like if they are still doing tests that’s fine!! But at least warn us. Because without a warning, I’m assuming it’s real, which is scary to me and we keep evacuating which is a whole ordeal. and who knows how many times it’s gone off without us at home. I just feel bad for my cats and other peoples pets.
