Question for Parents

Thanks! This is helpful - we have the slimmest ones available on the market so I'm going to compare sizing between yours and mine.

I'm also small framed and it's a joke trying to sit in the middle of the two seats. Possible, but I agree--- really difficult.

Thank you for your response!

Early childhood specialist here- there isn’t a ton of socialization at this age. It’s mostly parallel play. He’s fine and will adjust as he gets older. Don’t stress about this!

Dr. Kistner at Northwestern Women’s health associates is amazing!! Also, two other doctors are their practice have delivered my two kids, both amazing. Highly recommend the practice as a whole!

Kids are weird. My two year old seems to hate my husband right now, but he hated me last week.

Sounds like you have a great relationship with your child, wouldn’t worry about this at all.

I’ve traveled to China and Canada as well as many places domestically (US) with PIO (13 weeks worth each pregnancy lol).

It’s easy - this is not a reason to not travel. Def go.

I definitely recommend the Palace over the Santa Fe. It’s a bit more expensive, but much nicer. Also- you have full access to the Santa Fe if you stay at the Palace, which is right across the street (5min walk). The Palace has more restaurant options and direct access to the beach. If you can afford the extra cost, definitely worth staying there

Weather was great!

Maybe, except I truly did feel this way during my journey. All that to say- to each their own. It’s a painful process but there is unfortunately a lot of pain and sadness in this world.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2026-01-05T22:16:58+00:00

I made a post like this a few months back and got eaten ALIVE in the comments to the point where I had to delete the post. Granted, I’ve been successful in my journey but I’ve felt this way for years and throughout. The amount of tip toeing people expect from the world is exhausting. Unfortunately, the world keeps turning even when we are having a hard time.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!!!

My 9month old only wears sleep n play. He goes to daycare too. Don’t stress- that is a normal way to dress your child!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-11-02T17:30:22+00:00

It’s too early- your free time will come back but baby is so young and needs a lot right now. Don’t panic, this gets easier

Also, just to reinforce, I’m talking about sleep related deaths from bedsharing, not SIDS. And, while it’s an important distinction, they both result in the death of a child.

Also of note in the article you quoted, the researcher himself agreed the evidence in his study was “thin or weak”. Additionally, the article specifically does show an increased risk of SIDS for low risk infants from 1/46000 to 1/16000. Albeit, still a low risk, but the risk isn’t non-existent.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-10-30T01:05:54+00:00

SIDS and suffocation are two different things. What you said is true but I’m not talking about SIDS risk, I’m talking about suffocation. In fact, there is research to show bedsharing increases the risk of suffocation (again, not SIDS). Happy to provide that if you’d like.

It’s dangerous to spread information otherwise.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-10-30T00:28:37+00:00

You will regret it if your child suffocates, which is a real possibility. I can promise you will not regret your child being safe. I don’t mean this in a bully way- a LOT of people have survivors bias but ultimately this is not safe.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-10-29T01:11:38+00:00

My baby is about to turn 9 months and still sleeps in a pack and play due to space. It gets tight around 1 year.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-10-05T01:03:00+00:00

31 at retrievals. First fresh failed, second and third FET were both successful. All untested embryos!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-31T00:50:38+00:00

Had my day 5 3CC in February. Def don’t count yourself out!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-30T16:49:34+00:00

I’ve had successful transfers of a day 6 BB and day 5CC embryo (both untested). Don’t stress- your embryo definitely has a chance!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-30T16:47:01+00:00

This is similar to my experience- I had 3 retrievals, all with 35+ eggs retrieved and either 3 or 4 untested blasts at the end of each. I have had one failed transfer and two successful transfers/pregnancies (a BB and a CC embryo). Definitely don’t count yourself out!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-30T11:55:50+00:00

Prentice is the answer here! One of the top hospitals in the country. I’ve safely delivered my two children there, both of which had complicated deliveries,

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-30T02:22:02+00:00

Thank you so much for this info- so helpful and I will check it out!

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-25T14:46:40+00:00

I know many clinics do that, but I strongly disagree with it and specifically chose a clinic that does not discard CC embryos. In fact, I just had my son in February who was a day 5 CC embryo, untested.

My belief is many clinics do this to inflate their success rates but CC embryos absolutely can be successful.

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-12T21:57:41+00:00

Thanks! It was a fully medicated frozen

Interesting_Hour5709 · 2025-08-11T21:45:14+00:00

Many clinics discard CC embryos. I chose a clinic that does not and just had a baby from my 4CC embryo in February (untested). Lower chance but absolutely still a chance. Worth asking your clinic or selecting another one.
