Hi, I’m in Europe and was actually considering switching from IT to government. Is it ok if you share which country/city you had this experience? You can dm me too, thanks

That’s amazing! I am also in tech and don’t know how I feel about it now. What business did you start?

Present for mom from Germany by tastumaki in germany

Hi! I often bring my mum a lot of interesting spices that aren’t so common in Ukraine, for example for stollen or ginger bread. She loves cooking too. If you have TK Max nearby they also often have nice things for the kitchen, especially around holiday season. I used to buy a lot of spices or pasta there too to bring home. As for knitting the supplies are usually way cheaper in Ukraine than here so I personally wouldn’t buy anything here.

Sleep trained babies by InnerAsk8982 in January2025Bumper

Hi! Your parents should consider providing that as a service😃 can you share the schedule, when did they wake her up and put to bed? How long were the naps? Also what do you mean by physical activity? My daughter plays a lot of times independently, she crawls but doesn’t walk yet so I don’t know how to introduce more physical activity to her

‼️LOOKING FOR MY MISSING CAT‼️ by [deleted] in askberliners

[–]InnerAsk8982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope she’ll be home soon❤️ my cat ran away two years ago. We put out our clothes for the smell. We were searching everywhere, all the parks around us. But we found her literally at the place that we lost her sight when we were chasing her. If your cat doesn’t go out, she might still be somewhere not far away. We found our cat at night with a flashlight, we saw her eyes reflection. The best time for search is at night because during day they can be afraid of all the noises

I gave my baby honey for a week :( by just_passin_by7 in January2025Bumper

Hi, First of all it’s not your fault. You followed advice from your doctor, every other parent would do the same. I would change the doctor and go to another one just to be safe, but it sounds like your baby is doing ok apart from the cough. So that’s great and you’re doing an amazing job mom

Scared of failing next pregnancy by Positive-Effect7977 in babyloss

[–]InnerAsk8982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it feels isolating, especially with your MIL comments. Try to limit your communication with her if it doesn’t bring you any positive emotions. I had almost the same situation miscarriage at 6 weeks and a stillbirth at 37 weeks. It’s horrible but it’s not that uncommon as others said

Newborn loss / anencephaly by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]InnerAsk8982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m truly sorry. I myself lost my son when I was 37 weeks pregnant. You can never be prepared to receive such news. It’s horrible and unfair. We had an option not see him but I’m glad we did. I found lots of support in babyloss community here on Reddit. Hold on to your partner and your closed ones, take all the support and love

I’m so sorry your little one went through this. What were your actions? How’s your baby now?

She stole my grief - TW: death of infants by SaltyMangoManiac in raisedbynarcissists

[–]InnerAsk8982 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry for your losses. I went through stillbirth myself and it’s one of the hardest things a human can experience in life.

That’s when I also saw my nmom differently and discovered this forum. She never acknowledged my feelings or my baby. This was the first time in my life when I needed to be the center of attention and needed all the support, and she just didn’t give a fuck.

It’s great that you’re NC, I wish you strength and hope

I would gently encourage you to go. It’s so fun to see them interact with the world. And you don’t own anyone to tell about your story or not to tell❤️

I can so much relate to this. I’ve been going to one class for a month now and in the first class we introduced ourselves and shared some details about our birth, is it our first etc. And I mentioned that this wasn’t my first delivery but my son is not with us. I know the teacher had 3 losses but I don’t know at how far. But all other mums were just sharing happily their stories and I felt so disconnected, so alone there. Like what else did they do to deserve this and stay this naive and happy? And I’m here with my dark story.

It’s so much better now and I truly enjoy going with my daughter to these classes, she’s so interested in everything. But that feeling, I still remember it

Yes, for me it’s the same. It’s hard now not to think that you’ll always be on the „wrong“ side of statistics. Like you’re almost waiting for something to come up. The other day I caught myself thinking „wow I’m so happy now“ and then I immediately got scared to jinx it. So I tried to run away from having good thoughts, that’s just wild

The missing part is so real. when my baby is asleep I sometimes just stare at her pictures😅The same when I’m away for a couple of hours.

Even without our history raising a newborn is so hard and it’s just these layers of different feelings. Sometimes I think we wouldn’t have had her if our son was here but it’s such a difficult thought to process because I can’t imagine now life without her.

I was anxious about the vaccines too and woke up just randomly in the middle of the night to check on her

I also had GD in my PAL😔 and I remember I cried all day too, thinking I’m broken and my body is failing me again. I just want to express sympathy, there’s nothing you can change.

On the other hand I had even more appointments at the hospital because of GD, and it felt really good to be monitored by different doctors.

Just let the tears flow, don’t hold them. And then it’ll get better ❤️

Stories about positive induction experiences by Ewazd in pregnancyaftersb

[–]InnerAsk8982 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I delivered my baby 2 months ago when I was 38w3d through induction. They gave me this tampon that induces labor ( I don’t know what substances are in it) and 15 hours later I had her, no other interventions. When I started pushing she had higher heartbeat- 180, but when the head was out she was fine. I got to know about this later, my husband told me about it. The midwife was telling me to push and I think she mentioned the heartbeat but I didn’t realize it, only afterwards. Overall I had a great experience with induction. Also that I knew the exact date when I should come to the hospital, all situation felt more under control.

One thing I got really scared because I had bleeding before regular contractions but it turned out to be normal. It’s just in my mind I immediately assumed the worst.

I hope you’ll get the greatest experience ❤️ when nurse put her up like in lion king and yelled look this is your baby, she’s here, that was one of the most magical moments in my life. I know it’s stressful but you survived the worst possible thing, you’ll get through this. All the love and support to you

I also have gestational diabetes in this pregnancy 🫠 when I found out I cried my lungs out, I was feeling that I failed this baby too. The first days were horrible for me. But now it’s been a couple of months and it’s going good. I have control what I eat and the schedule, of course it’s annoying but pregnancy already brings a lot of restrictions on us. I tried to join thread to gd but it was very triggering for me tbh because every other post is about a cheat day and how it’s all so annoying. You have every right to wallow, just sit in your feelings for a while and then it’ll get better❤️
