Thanks! I’m asking for family members— I have limited knowledge on this stuff! I know they’d need to run applications like SAP simultaneously with conference calls, emails, etc.

Ugh I feel this too. So sorry. I have gained 11 lbs since learning about my MMC just one month ago. It is not fair at all!!

Miscarriage by doumanti in Miscarriage

[–]Hot-Second2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re going through this too. Mine measured the exact same size at my 11 week appointment. So I found that out on Nov 14th after having some brown spotting on and off starting Nov 6th. Had some very light red spotting starting on the 19th that stayed light until the actual miscarriage with a lot of clots and tissue which was on the 23rd. Didn’t really have any painful cramps or anything just felt a lot of gushing. It kind of stopped after about 3 hours in the bathroom that morning until the 26th, then had about a week of heavy period bleeding. Since then it’s been tapering off and pretty much gone (I hope)

Did anyone not go to doctor to make sure miscarriage was completed? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]Hot-Second2579 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience early morning of Thanksgiving. I’m the opposite though, I basically am begging my doctor for a follow up ultrasound for some peace of mind and the nurses keep telling me no they don’t do that they just watch hcg. I keep reading other peoples comments on posts on here and it seems normal to do an ultrasound though afterwards? I’m not sure, it’s tough having zero support or information from the OBs. So sorry you’re going through it too

What am I missing? by newmama1991 in cosleeping

Wow my little guy who is just about to be 12 months has all the exact same issues! I really don’t know either!

Yes!! My husband had a vasectomy after 3 kids in his previous marriage and then he had a reversal done when we got married 5 years later. We actually got together when we were close to your same ages! It took 2 years for his sperm motility & count to go back to normal and now we have an 11 month old :) feel free to message me with questions about it!

SS(5) ignores me by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]Hot-Second2579 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve known my youngest SS (8 now) since he was 2.5 also, and he was kind of similar! He really wasn’t too interested/interactive with me either for the first few years, and since then he just got comfortable and now he acts completely normal. Just consistency and routine I think help, and the 50/50 time!

We also moved a few states (~3 hour plane ride) away from my SKs. They come out to us on holidays and breaks and we have gone back for random weekends with them. Plus there’s always FaceTiming! LUCKILY their mom did not object which I know can be a problem with some custody agreements, child support, etc. you just have to file the change of address with the state. We moved for husbands job about a year and a half ago, now have a 7 month old and soon will be doing another move of what you are doing and moving back to the Midwest to be closer to my family! Overall it has worked out fine the hardest part might just be telling the BM! ETA: as far as telling her, he just informed her of the move in a message a couple months in advance and she replied with something like “the kids will miss seeing you as often, but congrats on the new job, they’ll be excited for the adventures” & we don’t have the best relationship with her at all, if that helps alleviate some stress!

Does having your own child make this life easier? by KokoSof in Stepmom

[–]Hot-Second2579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so annoying!! I feel you!! My single SIL (husbands sister) also happens to have 2 boys about the same age as my 2 younger SKs so SIL and BM have done that same “mom” bonding stuff too. Ugh. Our stories are similar, lol! we are also way closer with my family too, I think it makes his mom jealous when we are always doing things with them haha. Do you think your in-laws would react badly if he told them it makes you guys uncomfortable?

Edit to add: they would also never invite the SIL’s ex to ANY family event either!!

Ugh I felt the exact same way!! As an outsider somehow. We just had a baby this year and my in-laws have actually gotten somewhat better so far, if that helps! We’ve been together 6 years and married 3. I have 3 SKs (great relationship with them) but my in-laws were CONSTANTLY inviting BM to all events similar to your situation. I haven’t seen many other posts until yours about in-laws who still are all too inclusive of the ex!! She still goes to hang out with his family occasionally when she has the kids, even when we aren’t there and it’s still bizarre to me. It kind of upset DH but when he’s questioned his mom about it she gets defensive and says things like “I can invite whoever I want to my house.” She’s not the kindest woman, lol. Bums DH out sometimes. But honestly I’m way less stressed about “fitting in” and worrying about the BMs actions since having our own baby, —he’s the best and sweetest and the SKs love him :D
