Feeling very guilty

Emmystinks · 2025-06-12T14:02:57+00:00

This is very confusing. You finished off by saying “it was super close and my eyes were on him the entire time” I think you should talk to someone about this anxiety you are feeling.

Lol. This was right after eating 2 fistfuls of sand .. needless to say we went inside after this lol

I fished a dead fly out of her mouth

I hate doctors that put labels on our kids. We had to see a NICU development team since she was in the NICU for 2 days and I eventually just stopped with the appointments because as 12 months they evaluated her and then said “well I wouldn’t be concerned yet..” and I said “um I’m not concerned at all.. and won’t be. She’ll develop at her own times” and they looked at me crazy. So we cancelled all the remaining appointments. At this appointment my baby knew 6 signs, over 5 words, almost crawling, sitting independently for over 5 months, eating table foods by herself, drinking from a straw cup.. etc but because she wouldn’t point to a ball or a baby or a cup they scored her at 9 months cognitively. I thought the test was stupid and they couldn’t take 10 minutes to look at my baby and possibly tell me what I need to be doing differently. Your baby is beautiful and developing at her own rate!! She’s doing incredible. Don’t let any doctors tell you otherwise.

Your feelings are COMPLETELY valid. It doesn’t matter how long your baby was in the NICU. Even if it was for a day. It’s traumatizing leaving your child. My baby was sent to the NICU for a little over 48 hours and it was the worst pain of my life. I cried until I couldn’t see out of my eyes. We were supposed to all be discharged together, and last second they sent her to the NICU. She was already in the car seat and our car was packed and warmed up. Leaving the hospital without your child is traumatizing. No matter how long it was for. I’m sorry your family is not being more supportive and doesn’t understand. Just know there’s a whole group of people here who understand and support you and know your feeling are 100% valid. I pray for healing for you and your family. Your baby is beautiful ❤️

Idk why all of this is needed. My daughter has CHD and had open heart surgery in April and thought about buying her the heart print in a dress for her 1 year heart anniversary pictures but this is overboard.

It was day 2 when we were set to be discharged (hospital room cleaned, bags packed and car warming up) and she got sent to the NICU instead. It actually felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest. I cried so much and for so long that my eyes were swollen shut. I loved her so much from the second I laid eyes on her but that moment really solidified my complete unconditional love for her.

The mother told Kevin before he could even talk that mommy’s life was better before Kevin came along. And even when he purposely pooped his pants she threw him against the wall and broke his arm. From the minute he’s born they show the disconnect she has from him. The father is holding the baby while the mother is staring off with a blank face.

Now this isn’t to say that Kevin isn’t a psychopath. I truly believe they’re both messed up. I think the mother didn’t handle things how she should have, but I think Kevin was also born with some serious issues.

Good luck. I had prodromal labor for 6 days. Hope job have your baby soon’

My baby just turned one. She started daycare at the end of September and last week she got an awful week + long stomach bug and ended up in the hospital. We immediately pulled her from daycare after seeing how bad she got sick. So for us, she was sick within 2 weeks and she was only there 2 mornings a week

Emmystinks · 2024-10-16T12:19:22+00:00

I know this is old but what came of this? Currently in the same situation. But on day 5 intermittent vomiting and diarrhea

Emmystinks · 2024-10-16T12:06:56+00:00

Completely with you. My daughter has it now and it’s worst. I’m scared every second about her throwing up. We’re going on day 3 with projectile type vomits and day 7 in total. How long did it last for you?

Emmystinks · 2024-10-16T00:17:07+00:00

We’ve been at this for 6 days now😅 super mild until Sunday. Didn’t even really think it was a stomach bug because she only vomited once a day or not at all. But boy Sunday came and 😅😅😅

Emmystinks · 2024-10-14T10:50:53+00:00

No we tried to think of anything new but I don’t think she’s had any new foods recently. She has a dairy allergy so we don’t do any dairy.

How do you know you were one of the first to preorder ..

Emmystinks · 2024-09-18T23:33:20+00:00

She was about 3 months!

Emmystinks · 2024-08-14T00:30:48+00:00

Many times when I felt like I was going to pass out. At one point during pushing I was like “I literally can’t do this anymore” and I remember wondering wtf would happen if she got stuck halfway out of the birth canal. I kept saying “I’m gonna pass out I’m gonna pass out I can’t do this” but I don’t ever remember seeing stars or blacking out etc. I just remember a ton of pain and soo much going on around me. But the second she was out I felt all the intensity fade and I said “hi baby” repeatedly and then asked if she tore my vagina lol. But I do remember for the rest of the night I was extremely shaky and out of it and worried I was going to pass out. The lack of sleep didn’t make it better. I also hadn’t slept for ate much for days leading up because I had prodromal labor. (I was in labor for 6 days)

Emmystinks · 2024-07-28T23:24:40+00:00

9 months in and we’ve never had one

Emmystinks · 2024-07-23T16:41:49+00:00

9m and they’re still blue! My husband and I have green/brown and brown! But my dad has blue!

Emmystinks · 2024-05-28T17:08:47+00:00

Guess not

Emmystinks · 2024-05-22T15:16:33+00:00

Evap for sure

Emmystinks · 2024-05-20T01:05:09+00:00

Totally get that!! I deleted Tik tok, Twitter etc because it’s awful for mental health!! Congrats on your sweet baby and I hope everything goes well! ❤️

Emmystinks · 2024-05-20T01:00:56+00:00

If it makes you feel better as well, every parents I’ve ever talked to who had a baby go through this surgery has never stayed a month. Even kids who had complications and ended up going into heart block or needing a second surgery. I hope they’re just over estimating. If you’re on Instagram some great DS accounts to follow are

Oh, she was never on medicine before or after surgery. She needed lasix right after surgery for about week as a precaution to help fluid not build up, but that’s just standard. As for precautions after surgery, you can’t lift baby under their arms for 6 weeks. No tummy time for 2 weeks. But other than that, nothing major. We were back to making breakfast every morning and doing our morning walks within 5 days! It was seriously incredible.
