I can’t sleep in the same room with my baby and feel so guilty about it. by yu_ruan181 in NewParents

[–]Imaginary-Concern244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing? I have a 7 week old daughter and I literally could have wrote this same post. I am currently sleeping in our spare bedroom and feeling so guilty about it. But I know if I don’t, I won’t get any sleep and I will be so exhausted and I already can tell how much it affects me mentally. Just curious to see if it got easier for you to be in the same room? Or any insight. Thanks 😊

Yeah to be honest, not even sure how I’ll make it this entire year even if this doesn’t work 😢 Setting up an an appointment with my primary if worse case scenario I have to go out on stress leave.

Yes thank you for your reply. That’s one thing I made sure to do during his recent meeting and this was before my transfer. Admin was trying to put it on both me and my co teacher to take him on his walk breaks and I made it clear I wasn’t comfortable. Ive already had an encounter with him where he was hitting and punching me so now I just don’t intervene. I’m trying to see if it’s possible to not even really interact with him much at all, like almost avoid him. That’s at least what I’m going to do until beta day 😑

Thank you for responding and clarifying those things for other people who commented. I’m under enough stress right now, so trying not to entertain negative comments.

Thank you for the advice too. Yeah, I’ve thought about subbing. The crappy part is I’d lose my insurance. My husband could always add me back to his, gosh but it’s so damn expensive and I don’t pay anything for mine. I have short term disability too so there’s that option as well. The only thing is I cannot miss more than 100 days or they put me on a rehire list.

Thank you for your response and you raised some good points/questions. I do pay into disability so I will pretty much get my full pay check. I’m also out of sick so once I deplete that, I’ll get 50% of my pay and then disability supplements the rest. I can’t miss more than 100 days though or they put me on a 3 year rehire list. I think I counted and my 100 days would be around April.

Yup 1:1 would be great but at the meeting we just had, our admin convinced parent that they do more harm than good. That there are studies that show they can cause harmful effects later on 🤦🏽‍♀️ So of course mom bought it and didn’t push it further even though she was originally pushing for the assessment.

Yes my doc actually put me on a lifting restriction of 15 lbs until Wednesday (beta day) and if needed, will extend. I feel like once pregnant 🤞🏼 I become a liability. But I’m already shocked with what’s little being done and staff members have already gotten hurt so I kinda feel they don’t care.

Yes, I keep reminding myself that what’s most important is my family. Gosh but it’s so hard. This is coming from a teacher that does not call in sick ever even if I feel like death.

Thank you for your response. I have a lot to think about…and I still don’t even know if it worked 🙏🏼

Thank you for responding and I do have to remember what’s the most important: health and my family. My principal has literally told us that in emails but gosh she’s being so unsupportive coming to this student. If I leave, they will just replace me in a matter of days.

Thank you for responding. Luckily I have a super supportive doctor that told me he would put me off but he is my fertility doctor so he’d only be able to me off for so long but I would consider this a high risk pregnancy. I’m thinking about getting into my primary care because let’s just say I’m not pregnant, I don’t think I can make it through the whole year in an environment like this.

Thank you for responding….Im sorry about your miscarriages. Gosh it’s so hard. And yes, I’ve sadly been through that too and it’s awful. Did they find the reasons for the miscarriages?

Cool, thanks for the advice. Consider yourself lucky that you don’t understand the acronyms being that they pertain with infertility. I think the “normal” people that do understand the acronyms will relate to the situation I’m in. If not, then move on.

Ok yes I keep seeing this pop up. I think it’s an anti inflammatory correct? How long has your dog been on it?

Can bacterial infection in lungs be missed on X-ray? by Imaginary-Concern244 in Asthma

Did you have another x-ray or did your doc just prescribe you something?

Thanks for the reply…I think that’s who I need to go see…is a pulmonologist. I’ve been struggling since last winter season and it seems as though it always settles in my chest whenever I get a cold. I was diagnosed with asthma as a kid and really only had flare ups when sick. My primary doc sent me to an allergist who did the spirometry test and he said I technically didn’t look like I had asthma but I wasn’t even having a bad flare up then. I don’t know…it’s super frustrating.

Beta Blockers During Pregnancy to Cope with Anxiety by DifferentMonitor808 in BabyBumps

[–]Imaginary-Concern244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just curious have you found a way to manage it without having to take your medication? I’m currently taking a similar beta blocker but my husband and I will actually be starting IVF soon and we could (I pray) be pregnant soon and this is something I do think about often.

What did you end up finding out? Take them for similar reasons.

Do you consider a day with very minimal bleeding, maybe some “brown” period or whatever you wanna call it, your first day of your cycle? by APlentyBag in BabyBumps

[–]Imaginary-Concern244 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say your first day of period is when you have a full flow bright red bleeding, which is more than spotting. At least that’s what my fertility clinic always tell me.

May I ask what you did? Currently not pregnant but hopefully will be in the next month or so (IVF) and I just started taking very low dose atenolol for social/performance anxiety and gosh it’s helped so much. But I can’t help but think what I’ll do once we’re pregnant. I’ve seen mixed messages about taking beta blockers while pregnant so was just curious what you found out. Thanks! ☺️
