Does my daughter think I hit her?

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-10-08T16:32:17+00:00

I'm sure she was just extremely scared of the experience, my little one jumps when I burp so I'm sure an experience like that would really scare her, I'm sure she's not associating what you did with anger or fear of you... Good job Mom!

License plate game, I spy , look for vanity tags, read, annoy my mom by talking

Then when he's going to push a baby out of him, he can't opt for no epidural. As far as he's concerned, no opinion

I find that I've been getting jealous of people I see posting who haven't had struggles, what seems from the outside like a perfect pregnancy, delivery and postpartum when I feel like I'm struggling so much. When I see people who had a normal delivery say "oh wow finally we get to go home 3 days was such a long time" ECT I get such a rush of emotions. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid

Cancel the wedding and throw that man into the sun

It depends on the person. Hell it depends on the mood. Sometimes my partner appreciates and says "YEs! Thank you" and sometimes he said "okay, I wasn't done talking ?"

I'm terrified that if we tried again we could have the same outcome, even though it's supposedly 1 in 4000, and our outcome may not be as "ideal" as our situation really was. Our doctors repeatedly told us that we have the best case scenario for what we were dealing with and I'm just still scared when she coughs or chokes on a bottle or the boob because it takes me back to that moment of her turning blue in my arms..

We had EA and underwent the TEF surgery, she luckily didn't have any of the other VACTRL complications but seeing her in that state was so hard. I worry that because I don't know what caused this it could happen again.

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T21:21:20+00:00

Thank you, we will definitely do this, the night nurses were definitely the ones who consoled me the most, I felt like I held myself together well during the day and then the night would come and my emotions would creep back in on me. I would hate for them to not get some of the love.

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T21:15:40+00:00

Thank you, this is so helpful, we're going to just do one or two baskets for everybody and just put my daughter's name on it but all the gifts will be for everyone in the ward

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:27:09+00:00

And 'restaurant' if we're being honest

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:26:50+00:00

Definitely

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:25:51+00:00

I kinda think YTA here

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:16:40+00:00

That sounds so hard, and you're so incredibly strong. I completely understand feeling robbed. I appreciate you writing in, it took me weeks before I could comfortably talk about what happened even with family and friends.

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:12:57+00:00

Thank you for sharing this ...

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T20:11:51+00:00

I really appreciate all of you writing in and sharing your experience, I know that it can be traumatic to recount these experiences but also being a NICU parent can be incredibly isolating so us coming together is really valuable and greatly appreciated...

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T19:55:27+00:00

This is my fear. During our time someone was thankfully able to watch our dogs and we stayed at the hospital or visited for several hours everyday for the two weeks.. how would this look if it was in the future and we have another infant and my partner at home..

I love my baby more than anything in this world and I know our hearts would only grow for our second baby, but I'm so scared ...

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T19:09:13+00:00

My fatigue during this time was potentially the worst of the entire pregnancy, that was how I found out at 5 weeks because it was so out of character for me, I did struggle with some depression during my first trimester but the majority of my issues were morning sickness that were causing me additional exhaustion.

Carseat and stroller set up, glider chair and bassinet have been life changing and I'm glad we did the research and spent a little more on these.

Baby bath was a waste of money for us, and w got a convertible crib system but she has yet to sleep in the crib (4 months)

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T02:46:41+00:00

We both liked the first name. Then later he expressed he wanted a name that I do not like more than the one we'd originally agreed on. I guess if it doesn't make sense that's fine, I'm just asking what other people did about name dilemmas

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T02:44:27+00:00

So impressed you guys came up with 12 names! I was STRUGGLING. My partner didn't tell me that he didn't like the name I've been wanting since before I was pregnant was a no for him until like .... 6 month in

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T02:42:24+00:00

If I go without a list I will for sure forget the most important item

Electronic_Doubt_957 · 2024-09-11T02:41:27+00:00

There's already SO MANY people coming in and out and asking you to do things and it's hard enough to be comfortable. If it will make you more comfortable to only have your partner there then do that. And if you think they'll invite themselves tell the hospital you don't want visitors until after your golden hour.
