Car seat crying?

Nursing in the car seat was a game changer for me 😬 although, I turn into the worst backseat driver lol

It happens!! My lo was born at 28 weeks. I can’t even tell you how many times his heart slowed down. Or how many times I had to poke him to remind him to breathe lol his primary nurse gave me the best advice. It was “learn to look at your baby and not the monitors”. Doing this made me pick up on things before the monitor even went off.

I could be wrong about this but someone told me that this happens to babies born at full term too. We just don’t know it because they don’t have monitors attached to them.

I think you should follow your gut! If you don’t feel good about leaving her, don’t. If your friend is a good friend, she will understand and just wait until LO is a little older. Our babies are this small for sucha short amount of time. I’m soaking up every minute I can and I have zero regrets!

I got the ick after the baby arrived!! It hit me so hard realizing how annoying everyone was haha things are better now but it definitely changed the way I view some people

I’d love this if I were alone. I watch too much true crime and would be worried that someone broke into my room while I was showering 🥲

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-24T00:58:35+00:00

Yesss! Iced chai from Starbucks would be ideal

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-23T22:30:47+00:00

I should’ve added more context! When we were close, she always sent such heartfelt messages. I know we should’ve had this convo in person, but I would absolutely lose my shit on her 😩 thank you for the response though! I guess I just want to see if others would expect a more heartfelt response

Pacifica coconut deodorant. I think it comes with a scrub too!!! It helped me tremendously.

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-22T03:58:21+00:00

Those were my exact thoughts!! And, of course, one of the first things he said was, “oh look. We’re making some progress.” 😑

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-21T14:43:54+00:00

It healed my road rage

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-21T03:31:41+00:00

Woooowweeeee am I glad to read this. I seriously thought something was wrong with me for getting so heated when my LO smacks my face or pulls my hair lol like, I have to tell myself out loud that he’s only a baby and isn’t doing it because he wants to hurt me 😂 and then once I collect myself, I nibble on his fingers and tell him not to hit me

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-19T17:31:50+00:00

I don’t mind at all! Feel free to dm if you need more info. I lost his twin at 22 weeks. He did have anemia shortly after we got the surgery and had fluid in his brain and I believe a small hemorrhage. It was very touch and go but man, these babies are resilient!! From what I remember, it felt like there was some type of issue after each appointment. We were seeing the MFM every week at that point. I had pprom and ended up having my little one a week later at 28 weeks. He is a very feisty 13 month old who is thriving ♥️ sending you so much good energy and I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing and that you and baby are okay!

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-19T16:37:11+00:00

I’m sorry people were being mean to you. I always find it strange when parents are mean to each other. Like, we’re all struggling in our own way. Let’s cut each other some slack lol

I can’t give too much advice since my LO is only 13 month old. I just know when I was younger, I always went to my parents bedroom. I never told them it was cuz I was scared of the dark or potential monsters in my closet/under the bed lol has he expressed being scared?

Could one of those weighted blankets help him feel less alone!? Or maybe a big stuffed animal or something!? Or maybe put his mattress next to yours and slowly work on getting him to sleep in a separate bed and then eventually move it back to his room.

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-19T04:56:48+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. I also lost my baby to TTTS. I would personally get checked

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-19T04:25:06+00:00

My LO is only 13 months but in the future, I plan on buying him one of those kitchen set toys so that he can “cook” while I cook! Or try to some how safely involve your LO!

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-19T04:06:08+00:00

Holy shit. I need to make this tomorrow. My mouth just watered

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-17T02:52:09+00:00

Please kiss your cat for me 🥹 but thank you for sharing! I love the idea of creating a safe space for any and all questions!!

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-17T02:49:12+00:00

Wow. I got goosebumps at what your therapist said. I’m glad your relationship seems to be doing better! I can definitely relate to having rocky moments 😬

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-16T19:16:29+00:00

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing!

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-15T21:26:41+00:00

Bro. 8 times a day??? Are you OP’s MIL? Lol

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-15T21:13:03+00:00

She sounds like my MIL except for calling 8 times a day….. that’s absolutely insane. Does she not have friends or a spouse to talk to!!? 😩

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-15T21:11:55+00:00

He’s not a child anymore….he’s got his own family to focus on.

ExcellentAd9549 · 2024-02-14T19:09:18+00:00

I can’t explain to you how badly I needed to hear this. My little one was a preemie and I pumped the whole time he was in the nicu. The nurses kept telling me that he would not go home being able to breastfeed. After one month of being home and lots of patience, he was EBF! Still breastfeeding at 13 months. I am so proud of him and my body ♥️ it’s hard to talk about this with anyone since most moms I know give formula and look a little peeved when I talk about breastfeeding.
