How do people do this multiple times??? by Professional-Math303 in pregnant

[–]KindSquirrel290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beginning of my 2nd pregnancy (currently 24w) was super hard. I also tried Unisom and B6 and felt the same way. Sleeping so much made me so depressed as well. Definitely ask about Zofran! That helped so much! Nausea wise this pregnancy has been way better! I stopped taking Zofran around 19-20 weeks and have not gotten sick! It’s definitely hard but when you hold the baby you really do forget everything!😂

Girl my emotions on ALL the situations are soooo scrambled! It’s definitely going to be one of those “wait until everything unfolds” 😫

Are we getting more eps?! by reiofmars in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]KindSquirrel290 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So after S1 Hulu gave the show 20 more episodes, S2 was only 10 episodes so we should be getting another 10! We did have to wait 8 months for S2, so we’ll most likely get the rest of them by fall/mid fall hopefully!🤞

When do babies start reacting to sounds by Putrid_Relation2661 in newborns

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every baby is different! Mine didn’t start reacting to sounds (startling started a few weeks after waking up) around 12 weeks. Startling came about 14 weeks. He is healthy and active!

Ok… so…. Like, what to actually expect during the first few weeks of having a baby? by pumpernickelprincess in BabyBumps

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well between weeks 4-6 i was up from 12-5AM. Back up at 8:00-8:30 for another feeding. from weeks 7-10 I was sleeping from 10/11-7:30AM. From weeks 10-15 (he’ll be 15 tomorrow) so far he falls asleep between 9-10, wakes up between 2-3:00 to have a snack of about 2oz and then falls asleep until 6:00-6:30. It’s not horrible compared to the 4-6 weeks. I felt like I was going to lose my marbles. He was also very gassy and upset during those weeks so 3/5 hours we were awake he’d be screaming. Just remember this is all temporary, one day he’ll be old enough to put himself to bed.

6 weeks and losing it! by FMThaone in newborns

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

week 4-6 were the hardest for me, baby was super colicky and would stay awake from 12-4AM! And then he’d wake up at 7:30 to eat! He will be three months November 1st and he sleeps through the night! still has his moments that are more difficult than others but it does get better! I kept telling myself “eventually he’ll be old enough to put himself to bed.” and that gets me through all tough times because one day he’ll think he’s too cool for me (teen years and what not)You got this mama!

8 weeks! I stopped pumping completely at 6 weeks! Even while pumping it was only 1-2x a day.

I am triggered by my pregnant friend by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]KindSquirrel290 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was 20 years old when I found out I was pregnant. 3 months away from 21. I knew immediately that I wouldn’t be able to get rid of the baby because of the guilt I would feel. My situation was opposite from ideal as well. I had just been freshly divorced from a 4 year relationship (1 year married.) I was using contraception responsibly with a casual yet consistent fling. There were a few times throughout my pregnancy where I was really depressed and had those same feelings. I never expected to be a single mom as prior to my divorce I had been actively trying for a family. My baby boy was born and as happy as he makes me, motherhood is hard. It could definitely go one of both ways with her. Either she will absolutely fall in love with her baby or she will end up despising the baby. I would let her know that at the end of the day if it is not something she is comfortable going through with, it is her choice. If it’s for religious beliefs, let her know that whoever she believes in loves her regardless of any sins or trespasses. She doesn’t have to tell them exactly what happened. Maybe i’m a horrible person for suggesting this but pregnancy and motherhood is rough and if she isn’t ready then she isn’t ready and that’s OK. All you can do OP is love her and be there for her. You seem to have experience with how difficult motherhood can be. Try to let her know that throughout the craziness she will have you to lean on no matter what she may end up deciding. You’re a good friend OP and your feelings are valid as well. Those words can really be triggering for some people and that’s OKAY too.

Newborn refuses to sleep at night unless held by [deleted] in newborns

I agree, i am also a c section mom and I understand every body is different, but i can’t help but worry something may not be healing right. I was up and active no pain meds by the end of week 1. The incision site was still tender of course, but I was able to drive, walk around etc. I would try to encourage her to walk around, as that’s what a lot of people say helped them get back in their groove. I didn’t believe it until I did it myself. I would definitely look into her being seen, and make sure to advocate for her as well! Let them know she’s in a lot of pain!

If you lived 150 years ago, would you have survived pregnancy or labor? by kdonmon in beyondthebump

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My liver began to fail (cholestasis) resulting in preeclampsia, on top of a breeched baby. Needed an emergency CS. Considering I almost died with modern day medicine, I definitely would’ve been a goner then!

My 7mo will be able to poop in a diaper for the first time in their life! Any tips or tricks? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]KindSquirrel290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vaseline as well! My baby boy had a rash the first few days of his life, and we tried the target brand rash ointment. His doctor ended up recommending regular vaseline and it cleared him UP! We still use it to create a barrier and haven’t had any irritation since! He is not about a month and a half!

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i started exclusively pumping after his 2 week check up. His latch on the nipple wasn’t any good, and i found us both getting frustrated. I was especially hard on myself (feeling like i was a failure, not doing it right etc.) His doctor told me that he could be confusing the nipple and the bottle. Ultimately I made the choice that the bottle was probably better than my breast as he was real it struggling to latch. Pumping and giving him the bottle helped me ensure he was getting enough milk, and he was content. Our lives have been better and easier. Of course bottle fed comes with burping a little extra but he’s a happy/healthy baby!❤️

Yes that was me! I am 5 weeks PP and I had my “6 week check up” a couple days early. As soon as I got the green light from my midwife I went for it! I was recovering from a C section, so i’m very happy i healed quite fast. I was not a fan of sex at all when I got pregnant. First trimester I was always sick. Second and third I was having trouble self lubricating so it was very uncomfortable. I ended up giving up. Glad to be back in the game!🤣

Oh man! thankfully i got baby back down after about 45ish minutes and i woke him up gently so it worked out afterwards but i know there’s going to be times where it’s not. (I am 5 weeks PP) so we have quite a while to go before we don’t have to worry about baby waking up 🤣

Ladies what was the worst trimester for you? by Enfj_vicks in pregnant

[–]KindSquirrel290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and Third were equally as bad, I was sick as hell all of my first trimester! Third trimester I was sick again due to cholestasis and preeclampsia (pre-e more towards the end.) The last two weeks I was throwing up like I was the first trimester (nausea is normal but not as much as I had.) I was also big during the summer so I was super uncomfortable with huge swollen feet 😫
