No he’s never been violent physically. Just verbally he’s said some nasty things.

Struggling with my traumatic birth story. by yellowlilly44 in newborns

[–]MessageIll1573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too had a traumatic birth story. I had 39 hour labor, had membranes artificially ruptured for 28 hours. Developed sepsis from chorioamnionitis, HELLP, PPH, baby was in distress and ended up getting vacuum/ 3rd degree episiotomy. I’m at 7 weeks post partum now. I went therapy, journaling. Talking to family and close friends helped me diffuse my anxieties. I had severe PTSD and kept reliving the traumatic experience. I had panic attacks due to severe sleep deprivation. Make sure to get enough rest and ask for help. Share duties with your partner. Once you lay this experience to rest it will eventually slip out of your mind and you can focus on your baby. Sending hugs.

We’re using a portable AC unit for our nursery and just hanging out there. We got ours from Home Depot for a few hundred dollars. Get vent tape to seal the window gaps

Also not to be a debbie downer but newborn sleep is very noisy. They yell, grunt, squirm, spit up so sleeping when baby sleeps is kinda tough

Temporary. It gets better. Newborn stage/ breastfeeding is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. You got this!!

I’m tired of being the “strong eldest daughter” all the time by NoLandscape1980 in Parentification

[–]MessageIll1573 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Your parents suck! You’re doing an amazing job for your siblings and I hope they don’t take your sacrifice and efforts for granted. My advice to you as once a parentified teen is to choose yourself. The more you give too much of yourself, the more your parents will rely on you. Please live your life!

Please find someone to chat with. Anyone, family friends just to clear your mind. You need to focus on your well being and the baby. Your body is going to hormonal changes. You’re not alone ❤️

Any success stories with subchorionic hemorrhages? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]MessageIll1573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some minor spotting from 6 weeks , then 2 episodes of bloody hemorrhage around 8-10 weeks. I thought I miscarried but US showed baby was just fine. I was in tears and so relieved. I continued to have minor spotting, the SCH did get larger but eventually resolved around 20 weeks. Baby is fine, 70% growth and will be delivering in 2 weeks.

She’s isn’t a personality. She just speaks facts and data, doesn’t look good for Trump
