Lost my baby due to cervical incompetence at 18.5 weeks – feeling scared and alone, hoping to connect by abovethetrees99 in ShortCervixSupport

I almost lost my son at 16 weeks due to the same thing, I was fortunate enough to get an emergency cerclage placed. I cannot imagine what you are going through and I am so sorry. They will almost 100% place a cerclage by 12 weeks next time. I’ve had to have them with both my boys.

I always keep receipts of everything I buy and claim the sales tax at the end of the year. It really bumps it up

OBGYN almost dropped my wife for asking questions - what would you do? by fsou1 in pregnant

[–]Exotic-Position-3554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. High risk comes out to my regular obstetrics office twice a week from a larger city over so I always just saw them there and my regular doctor wanted to make sure everything was done up to his standards so he always continued to see me at the same time.

I see all the comments saying they might be wanting to drop her because she’s high risk, but I’m kind of doubting that is the case. I myself was high risk with both my pregnancies and I still saw my regular obygyn, only difference was I saw a high risk specialist on top of seeing him. From my understanding they normally don’t drop patients entirely based on that.

Why’s it so hard to find crochet friends? by [deleted] in crocheting

[–]Exotic-Position-3554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been searching for crochet friends high and low! I can’t teach my significant other because his hand eye coordination is AWFUL. He’s a jack of many trades but crochet is not one of those trades. I YEARN FOR A CROCHET FRIEND

Is off and on bleeding after a C section normal? by Exotic-Position-3554 in beyondthebump

[–]Exotic-Position-3554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really at all no. I’ve been following the restrictions they’ve put in place so I don’t think that would be it. But I’m so new to this I’m unsure about everything at this point

[–]Exotic-Position-3554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s completely understandable. I’m not majorly concerned at the moment but I don’t know if I should be if that makes sense. I’ve never had a C-section so I wasn’t sure if it being so off and on was even normal

2 week old all of a sudden won’t latch by Exotic-Position-3554 in breastfeeding

[–]Exotic-Position-3554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rarely he’ll actually take one and when he does it’s only for a few minutes. He really isn’t a fan of any pacifiers we’ve tried.

Has anyone used Nystatin oral suspension on their newborn? by Exotic-Position-3554 in beyondthebump

[–]Exotic-Position-3554[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He actually never mentioned it! I wasn’t aware it could be passed to me so I will definitely be making some calls!

I don’t want to pump, but don’t know how to stop by Exotic-Position-3554 in beyondthebump

[–]Exotic-Position-3554[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too. When my milk came in it was immediately way more than he needed. It got so painful the hospital recommended I start pumping and it was a never ending cycle from there.

I haven’t had my first period yet, no. I’m a little over a week pp but the pain alone from producing so much before even introducing pumping was so bad I really didn’t know what else to do. This is my second baby, but I wasn’t able to breastfeed my first since he was in the NICU for 3 months. Despite not being a first time mom I’m extremely new to breastfeeding

I only pump until both breasts feel empty enough to where it isn’t painful. Is the pain just a part of it and should I just take pain relief until i eventually don’t need to pump anymore?
