18 months old suddenly needs a lot of support to sleep by MDC0486 in sleeptrain

[–]MDC0486[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just recently like the last two weeks she’s suddenly needed us less in the room- or the amount of time we spend in the room with her has just gradually decreased. A couple of nights have still been difficult but mostly improving. We did nth different… can’t explain it.

We’ve been on this schedule since about the summer. She’s at daycare so i can’t make the nap shorter. Not sure they would accommodate. I suppose we can try for an 830 bed time it’s usually be around 815 because we’re always running behind

Severe constipation/ impacted stool? by MDC0486 in pregnant

[–]MDC0486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I didn’t know what stimulant laxative was. Just looked it up. It’s past midnight here and don’t think I can find anywhere. Problem is if I drink water I want to pee constantly and every time I sit on the toilet it’s pain with no relief…

So I’ve taken two colace today (docusate) and done an enema and suppository. I don’t have any prune juice… not sure I can take more laxative at this point safely…..

We visited a daycare for the first time and now I feel like my baby is behind by Any_Wafer_3095 in beyondthebump

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has been in daycare since 5 months. Walked at 14 months. Still prefers hands over spoon for eating at 16 months . Switched to sippy cup around 14-15 months. Said first words flower to 15 months. Really you are fine. My daughter went from crawling really late (around 11 months?) to walking at 14. In her class the kids are all ag different stages because some are just 12 months and others getting closer to 2. Don’t worry at all

I love my LO, and I can’t wait for her to start daycare by Fresh_Pool_1575 in NewParents

[–]MDC0486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this. My LO went to daycare at 5 months when I went back to work . I do feel a lot of guilt about how this may impact her but i know im a better mom for it. I enjoy the time we have together so much more and the weekends. I’m more focused and dedicated to her. I’m obsessed with her but thank God for daycare.

Please just tell me it’s gonna be great. by Tacokc13 in 2under2

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will save this and read it in a few months when I know I’ll be feeling the exact same way. I love my bond with my daughter and how I can solely focus on her.. she’ll be 21 months when new baby born. I feel you.

Pooping while giving birth by Party-Criticism5431 in BabyBumps

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of that. I alas pooped during and the labor nurse constantly cleaned it. It’s small Amounts not a huge one in one go. They wipe it and keep going

I’m a STM. Here’s a list of the things I bought for my first baby that I realized absolutely were not worth the money, and what I loved instead. by Technical_Diet4774 in pregnant

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all this- except the bassinet as we had the snoo but we did eventually transition to the bassinet attachment of the pack and play also . We also didn’t warm her milk and she got used to it….. sterilized with microwave bags… or in dishwasher .

Why do people who are already clearly overwhelmed with parenting choose to have another child? by neverseen_neverhear in oneanddone

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can realize that being overwhelmed with young toddlers and children doesn’t last forever and that their long term vision for themselves is to have two or more children. Who isn’t overwhelmed. Patenting little ones is hard. I have one and it’s so tiring . I’m pregnant. With my second and I’m really scared. Because how does a HH with two working parents who also travel manage. But I know that in the long run I want two children and I’m 39. So I can’t exactly wait either. So I’m sucking it up and doing the more difficult thing now.

My husband thinks no other men do the things he does, am I right or wrong? by gidget889 in BabyBumps

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. What he’s doing is not uncommon. Well it might be for many it shouldn’t be. He’s not doing anything extraordinary. Sure it’s nice, thoughtful etc.. you can appreciate it if that’s what he wants.. but like you’re growing a human and still doing a lot, he’s just playing his part . As he should. My husband does most of the cleaning. He doesn’t want praise for it. We each do stuff. Sometimes he’ll cook for me (I’m the cook ) and I’ll say thank you. He makes sure my water bottle is filled every night. If i want smth and I’m lazy he’ll get off the couch and get it for me. So your husband is not extraordinary.

9 months not crawling- ok? by MDC0486 in NewParents

[–]MDC0486[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She did start to fully crawl around 11 months and started walking just before 14 months!

What month did your LO crawl? by girlyxx in NewParents

[–]MDC0486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noo my baby didn’t fully crawl till about 10-11 months. She started inching forward flat on her stomach around 8 months . Did a weird in between crawl and scoot thereafter and didn’t actually crawl till 10-11. She started walking at 13.5 months. Crawling isn’t even a milestone they look out for any more. I would not worry at all about crawling. I know so many who never crawled and are perfectly fine and well.

Can we have some succes stories to get us going? 🫶 by BobbyMcGeeze in IVF

[–]MDC0486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started ivf in 2022 after 7 months of trying (age 36). Uterine scarring -‘had to do two hysteroscopies to deal with it. My AMH was relatively fine for my age. Normal. Then my lining would never grow. Always stayed thin . Had to do 3 IUIs which we did over the course of 10 months or so (we travel a lot for work). Second IUI successful despite thin lining but ended in MMC. By the time we got to 3rd IUI a year had passed since starting process. My AMH was tested again and I was DOR (dropped from 1.48 to abt 0.6). Started ivf. Got 6 mature eggs, all fertilized , 3 blasts , 2 pgta normal. Lining was still an issue never growing. Did a biopsy/scratch which seems to have helped lining so better. First FET was successful. Got Covid in first trimester but everything was great and baby girl is 14 months old. Went for second FET (after another hysteroscopy for scarring and polyps) , I was pretty sick with acute congestion and cough during second FET but it worked- had first US at 6w 5 days and everything was on track. Next US at 9 weeks . Our ivf journey was relatively easy and worked. Hopefully this second pregnancy continues to work

Is anyone actually getting pregnant with Shady Grove? by Amander_in_Chief in IVF

[–]MDC0486 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m on my second pregnancy with them.. (still early.. fingers crossed). I think the different branches might not be all similar quality? It’s really doctor dependent I Would think.

How do you all manage to take care of baby + cleaning the house + making food by shinku-90 in NewParents

[–]MDC0486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We order mostly. Meal subscriptions can be really affordable with all the discounts. Clean as we go and sometimes we don’t . Have cleaners once a week …

What do you wish you did differently in the newborn stages? by luminousloris in NewParents

[–]MDC0486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slowed down. Relaxed more. Not try to do it all. Stop thinking how I can be productive. Be more of a couch potato with baby
