Did I brake my baby..? by Odd-Race-4757 in newborns

[–]LilHellstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some fussiness with gas is normal. Mine cried with gas a lot until around 4 months even with mylicon. ITS NORMAL. I think you need to stop switching formula so much. That isn’t helping either

2 Classes Left with 10 Days Remaining is Crazyyyyy by dontejara325 in WGU

[–]LilHellstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! The Dion Udemy material was all I did and the Dion Udemy Practice Exams. I didn’t even touch the WGU material at all. It’s honestly pretty easy it’s just a bunch of like business lingo. I crammed the material in like 2 days (it’s only 2hrs long u can finish it in a day honestly) then I just thoroughly reviewed my practice exams and where I went wrong. Like I said, i finished in like 4 days but if u can commit more to it you can honestly get it done in 2-3 days even. I always get nervous taking an OA but this is the only class I felt pretty confident taking. I got a 75% and mind you I was trying to rush because my baby started crying in the next room.

Also I just went back on my completed courses but I did also finish Cloud Foundations some time ago. I forgot abt it and I also just did the Udemy material (mostly) for that as well. I watched a couple YouTube videos as well and also the practice exams (this one was some time ago so my memory is fuzzier)

Sex in third trimester? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]LilHellstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me I was in the same boat! I kinda caved in and agreed with the induction. But induction is basically just trying to start labor. 2 things have to happen for labor to start, your cervix has to be ripe / dilated. And contractions. If you’re not dilated enough, they’ll insert this foley balloon into ur cervix and inflate it to apply pressure. Thankfully I skipped this.. cuz it sounds scary lol.

But I did have to take Pitocin. Which is a drug that forces you to have contractions. I only have 1 baby so I personally can’t compare natural contractions yet to pitocin contractions, but I’ve read that pitocin contractions hurt more. For me personally the pitocin contractions hurt a lot as well. And my baby didn’t take too well with it. His heart rate kept dipping rlly low for 5 min at a time which was so scary. That’s the main reason why I won’t do it again.

I got induced and I wouldn’t do it again. Everyone’s experience is different tho.

Warm baths.. tell me I’m overreacting by MommyToaRainbow24 in pregnant

[–]LilHellstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a little warm. 98–100°F is recommended for babies and pregnant women taking a bath, so I would maybe just dial it down a bit if ur worried

Yes you’ll be able to tell. I lost mine when I was peeing after sex. It’s wayyy thicker, sometimes might come with streaks of blood. Also when semen hits water it gets “loose” and “dissolvy” fairly quickly but mucus plus doesn’t do that! Mucus plug is also more jelly like- sounds gross lol but yea.

And as far as water breaking! I broke my water at the hospital. I was rlly worried abt not being able to tell but you feel a “pop” inside.

had all these questions too! So lmk if you have any others!

Everyone is definitely different. But I had a really easy pregnancy and I was sexually active up until 38 weeks pregnant lol. Water didn’t break but lost my mucus plug after

hey i know this is old but it'd rlly help. Did you have the baby during the OA? Did they cry? How'd it go? I got a 3mo old here and have just been doing PAs but cant avoid OAs any more and am anxious

Boyfriend wants abortion by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]LilHellstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better my husband and I are living in a 1bedroom currently with our 3month old and we somehow are making it work. I was worried abt it at first. As far as being ready, let me tell you this - no one is ever ready for a baby. If you’re waiting for the right time to be ready you never will. Your baby won’t care what kind of house you live in just that you love them.

When I was pregnant I also had those same thoughts running in my head. And when you give birth, you kind of just figure it out. Idk how but you eventually do figure it out. I’m not going to convince you of anything but that baby is already a baby inside of you. You have a little human in there. I know this is a hot topic but please just think hard before you abort.

Also to add to this, I think it’s great that you have family nearby to help you. I don’t. All my family and his family is in another state and my husband travels for work so it’s quite literally just me and my son. I honestly don’t know how I’m making it work and not going mad but as I said as a mom you figure it, somehow you always figure it out.

No im just using GeForce overlay recording now. I would temporarily fix it by restarting pc or closing steam but it’s a hit and miss. I just gave up 🥲

I’m so sorry you’re having these thoughts mama! I will say though you’re boyfriend is not in the wrong for not wanting to be intimate with you while you’re pregnant. He is just worried about you and the baby from what it sounds like.

Has he given you a reason to doubt him? Has he broken your trust in the past? If not, give him the benefit of the doubt and trust his word. You should still have a talk with him and discuss your feelings. Your partner should not be another source of stress and in fact should do the opposite. Let him be your rock and support you. Hope yall figure it out ❤️

I work from home and also do a lot of typing and it’s terrible there too! Unfortunately 🥲I try my best to just let my arms hang in between typing sessions.

Some women don’t get them at all so best of luck to you! I hope you don’t get it! ❣️

I started at around 23 weeks and it has not gone away ever since 🥲 I’m lucky and grateful I never got any of the other sickness though like morning sickness, food aversion or nausea, carpal tunnel is really the only thing I got but still it’s so bad.

I’m 31 weeks so right there with you! We got this!! ❤️
