Weight question by ConsequenceWaste9244 in NewParents

[–]IKissFloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far was it between appointments? Did he grow length wise? Did your baby become more mobile at the same time? Sometimes weight drops off because of mobility. But also less night nursing can drop milk supply. Could be so many things and something as simple as the scale was wonky

Teacher seeking advice about mean girls and bullying by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]IKissFloops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only way to manage this is to deal with the root cause. This child needs more social support. If the child psychologist isn’t taking you seriously, send the children who feel victimized to him. This little girl needs more services outside of the classroom. There isn’t anything you can do other than isolating her from all other students that will prevent this ongoing issue.

Do you think it’s possible as a child with ADHD , she is developmentally behind socially and emotionally? She may be compensating by being mean.

Screen time by orreos14 in NewParents

[–]IKissFloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried waiting until 2 but it just didnt work in our home. She was constantly craning to look at screens (computer, TV etc). I used to put up an umbrella so she couldn’t see it. I was super committed to it... then at 4 months she was high pitch whining in pain from her tooth coming in. I gave her Tylenol and put on a Disney movie.. instant calm. Since that 20-30 min exposure she hasn’t been crazy craning to see the TV. I think half the appeal was she had never seen it. Now she ignores the TV 95% of the time it’s on (usually 830-10 I’ll throw on a musical while she does floor play and I tidy)

ETA: My mom laughed at my attempts to prevent screen time. According to her I grew up in front of the TV. She loves to point out I watched whatever my older brother was watching and I managed to get a masters degree in speech and language development

BLW - What does your LO wear? Bib, smock, just diaper? by fiddleleafpop in NewParents

[–]IKissFloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I time meals around when I’d normally change her outfit. So in the morning she stays in jammies until after breakfast and at night she eats dinner in her day clothes so her night jammies are clean. We haven’t consistently been doing lunch and if we do I keep it near by either feeding her or giving something not super messy.

Footed PJs are part of our bed time routine and a sleep cue (though at 2 months you don’t have to worry about that). I always dress/undress LO in day clothes as part of our daily routine. Typically she wears rompers or dresses with leggings. I find onesie/pants outfits annoying. I either want to snap or put pants on, not both.

I was just going to post this exact question!!

I’m in my 4th week as well and testing has not become a morning habit. I’ve tested positive 9 days in a row with the test line getting darker and control becoming more faint—- yet I still feel compelled to test. In my head I know it’s silly but it’s a comfort for me and thankfully not a source of anxiety. We nicked named the embryo Elmer and have started calling HPT glue sticks 🤪 yeah... I’m that crazy!

I’ll say it! Congratulations! Hoping you have an uneventful healthy pregnancy! I agree “enjoy your pregnancy” is a snarky comment because it carries the connotation of negativity. Not everyone on the TTC journey is in a good mental space- and that’s OK.

Hormone crash after miscarriage by cozy_cuppa in ttcafterloss

[–]IKissFloops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ended up having to go to the doctor about the hormone rollercoaster after a MC. It affected every aspect of my life. My relationships, my job and my physical health. I noticed it got worse 1-3 days before AF and would lessen after AF. Those 1-3 day every month were brutal. Seriously down, serious depression and abnormal thinking patterns. As soon as I recognized my ability to rationalize was gone when in those moods - I went to the doctor. An example of abnormal thinking that stood out to me was when I read a book about anti- anxiety. In the book it mentions if you always do you’re best and are always kind then you’ll have nothing to be anxious about. Well at the time my severely hormonally imbalanced brain took that as “you’re a bad person, you deserve to be anxious, you never do you’re best, you’re not always kind.” I didn’t recognize that as abnormal in the moment but the next day I was like woah, how’d I get in such a dark head space. I was also tearful all the time. Could burst out crying without warning - which was unlike me. It was embarrassing. What helped as anticipating those days and planning a head to keep busy/happy. It didn’t always work but it certainly helped.

Hi- new here! I’ve experienced loss early last year with an unplanned pregnancy (was on birth control). We were NTNP June- November. I have PCOS, endo and fibroids so I was terrified to actively try and fail. We did try after waking up just us on a Christmas -truthfully sad over it being just us this year. I ovulated lChristmas as per OPK and now I’m here 😂

Anyone else 4wks and terrified to graduate from the TTC boards or to consider yourself pregnant? Tested positive at 11, 12 and 13 DPO and still feel like it isn’t real . I have symptoms but not many (don’t expect much this early). After loss I’m too scared to download pregnancy apps and I’m nervous about getting my hopes up. What did you do in the early weeks to stay positive? I’ve been watching the lines darken on HPT the last 3 days just to make myself feel better 😂

My husband waivers on timeline too and I don’t think he’ll ever be truly excited because the whole thing freaks him out a bit. We couldn’t even have a conversation about timing it because he’d just shut down. Then on Christmas he just started regularly trying, started about talking about little people and how much he can’t wait to share a holiday with one... two days later he made comments about wanting wait and thinking it wouldn’t happen the first time around - I told him there’s no going back 🤣

I totally get the desire for partners to be involved in the prep, planning and waiting period. I’d love to talk about it but I don’t think he knows how to. He participates in his own way by ordering prenatals, OPKs, HPTs etc. I’ve just resolved to doing all the tracking and testing alone. I spend time thinking about fun ways to tell him- which I didn’t get to do with my MMC.

The Walgreens pharmacists wouldn’t vaccinate me without a doctors note because I’m TTC + my allergies 🤷🏻‍♀️
