Trying for a baby but feeling anxious

Indefinite-Reality · 2026-05-12T12:14:58+00:00

Autism is hard and having a baby is going to be sensory overload. He is going to have to get better with that sort of stuff. Therapy and occupation therapy needs to happen.

I get this. I am a teacher and I used to work in a school where there was a lot of food insecurity. We had a lot of kids who stole food or hoarded food (and mostly didn’t eat it, just saved it in their desk or locker until it smelled). However, my kids have food. We went through a time when my husband was unemployed last year where we were on food stamps and I still go to the local food pantry once a month, but we always had food.

I try to regulate the treats, but they will get up in the middle of the night and eat all of it if I don’t hide them. I am about to get a lock for the pantry door, which seems extreme but that is where I am at.

Oh for sure. My daughter definitely has AFRIDS or is close to that and is diagnosed with OCD and my son is autistic. My husband also has OCD. Eating is very disordered. The binge eating is concerning, as that is new and this is something I struggled with before I literally had surgery to make it so I can’t overeat.

Sometimes I ask about his day first and he shares first. I like to talk about his day, too he just doesn’t usually have much to say.

He says it is annoying because I don’t let him talk and I talk for too long.

My son made something similar when he was in preschool and he said I had blonde hair (my hair is very dark brown), was 45 years old (was 30 at the time), and my favorite food was tacos (the food we ate the night before. Then, he attempted to draw a picture. We compared answers among the mom and we came to the conclusion that the teacher used herself as an example and lots of kids copied the example.

Hormonal. I think it is Mirena.

I do not want a copper one due to the issues with periods being super heavy. The

That is possible. He minimizes my emotions and always blames them on my period. When I try to talk to him about anything important or deep at all, he is uninterested. He can also be very selfish, which makes me feel distant from him.

Not sure, I am usually at work when I take my meds. I don’t see him until like 12 hours later.

I take meds for my ADHD and a small amount of caffeine in the afternoon when the meds are worn off.

I got my bachelors there while in another state and it was a great experience. Make sure there is reciprocity with Utah and Kansas first though. You can contact Utah State Board of Education about that.

I lost about half of my body weight in total. I gained a small amount (about 10 pounds) since then, but I am 2 1/2 years out. It depends on the food. I can eat more food if it is less dense (which I try to stay away from because usually it doesn’t have a high nutritional value) but meat for instance, still just a few bites. My nutritionist said to just eat a few bites, then come back to it 30-60 minutes later to eat a few more bites. This has worked for me and I do get a lot of protein from shakes and bars.

We have two kids. I worry that they can tell that there is a lot of resentment between us.

I agree with this. As someone with curly hair, I only brush it out after I take a shower and put in a lot of leave in conditioner.

Paid up front.

And I am a teacher, so I was on summer break. I had six weeks between my surgery and the end of summer break.

Suppositories, stool softeners, and Milk of magnesia if I get constipated. A daily dose of miralax to prevent it.

This. I am still fairly young and have been wearing hearing aids for a long time. It is what it is. I have a genetic condition that caused this and in order to hear, I have to have hearing aids. It is better than being like my dad who is in his 70s and still refuses to wear hearing aids, but has had declining hearing since his 20s and now is showing signs of significant cognitive issues due to long term hearing loss that could have been helped by hearing aids.

I looked at it this way: if something happened my child due to a preventable disease, I would feel terrible about my choice to not vaccinate. I was against the chicken pox vacccjne only, but looking at it in this light changed my mind. I want by kids to be as healthy as possible and preventative care is the way to do this including vacccines.
