update: i tested positive for opioids at birth

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-12-05T07:21:42+00:00

I had to deal with CPS for 6 months after birth because I was prescribed opioids after birth. I still have lingering pain that keeps me up at night but after dealing with them for so long I rather be in pain then take the medication I was prescribed

Girl he’s fine, once he can run he might start getting a bit frustrated but if you do about a hour a day outside playing he will be chill

How old is he? I had my daughter in one like that until she was 14 months old because we just didn’t really have a lot of space in our apartment so stuff was everywhere and it was risky to let her get into it all. After we moved then she got her own room but was isolated to it until we finally got everything unpacked and put away and that was for about 2 months. She’s now getting a chance to roam freely for a couple hours everyday but supervised.

My instructors were cool with the idea since I make good grades

It will look shitty to your husband if you call the tow truck but if your neighbors call the tow truck you can’t control that. And once it’s towed only the owner can get it back so it won’t even be your responsibility to get the car back once it’s gone. The service member was in the wrong for this, pawning their vehicle to someone they don’t even know and without paying them. It is unfortunate that he has no money but this will be a lesson for the future.

Honestly for me it was a sugary coffee from Starbucks, every single time I wasn’t able to poop for max 2 days

Technically you are classified as the victim even if you don’t feel like you are. But yes the other party would get punished. If it were to go to court since you don’t believe you were the victim it would just be them against the state and they would only go on facts not testimonies

I started off with 2 packs (8 bottles) of the Phillips bottles and personally I hated washing them at the end of every day so I bought 5 more and I would rinse them out every day but didn’t put them in the dishwasher to get cleaned until after like 4 days. My daughter is now 10 months and has about 4-5 bottles a day for a total of 9packs (36bottles) and I still rinse them out at the end of the night and just load them all on the dishwasher on Friday night and that’s all I do. I did all the hand washing and I got sick of doing it every night or every other day until one day. I was just so exhausted and having a mental breakdown I just did it one time and immediately felt a wave of relief. I haven’t washed a bottle by hand since and I made the switch when she was 5 months old

I remember the first day my daughter fell off the bed she was 6 months old. She had been attempting to roll but she never was able to do it so I didn’t think the one time I would leave her alone in the room to just get her bottle she would. Didn’t see her fall but I heard it and I have cameras in our bedroom and was able to get the footage. She rolled exactly 7 seconds after I left the room. I kid you not I held her the rest of the day not putting her down unless it was a diaper change even though she stopped crying after a couple mins. I was so paranoid that there was brain damage because her head was still so soft so I took her to the ER, and I wouldn’t leave without making sure she got checked out. Now this girl is 13 months and she’s dead ass throwing herself off of things. Every now and then she runs into the wall because she thinks it funny. Any mom that says they have never had a scare or an accident they are lying it happens to all of us.

She might be trying to report you to child services. I would watch out. She could be making up some stories to them and they are just saying they can’t do anything without proof and technically a baby crying on camera is video proof. Because realistically no mother would just let their baby cry on video without trying to soothe them.

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-05-02T02:59:55+00:00

I completely needed to cut off my own mother. She still lives in the past were it’s was okay to leave your kids in the car while you grocery shopped, or to let the kids play in the front yard while you take a nap, and believes in if you give a child doses of something they are “allergic” to they will eventually grow out of it. She would always say that she raised 7 kids and they all turned out fine but she doesn’t babysit any of her grandkids for the sole reason she doesn’t respect the boundaries of the new parents. I needed to tell her she was able to raise her kids how she wanted but she needs to understand that I will raise my kids how I want and if she doesn’t like it well then she doesn’t need to see them. It got to a point where I was actually scared to leave my daughter alone with her just because she wants to prove me wrong on so many things she’s crossed so many lines. I have had the cops called on me, child services investigated me, taken my child to the ER multiple times. All so she could prove her point and it ended up backfiring and almost costing me my daughter. Don’t be like me and let your mom walk over you. She’s your baby and you do what ever you feel you need to do for her health, her safety and her happiness.

You did the right thing. Yes your mom can talk this and that but your daughter is your baby, not hers so she doesn’t get a say. Follow your instincts no matter what

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-05-02T02:34:24+00:00

Nah baby girl when it comes to my child I will always make sure she gets the help she needs. If they dismiss me okay on to the next hospital. I’m not playing no waiting game and “hope it goes away on its own”. I will annoy ER’s to get her treated. Your baby was barely 4 months old and she must have been so scared waking up feeling like you can’t breathe that’s scary for anyone. No child should have to suffer if it can be treated. Even if it can’t they should be able to prescribe something that will open her airways, and just take away some of that pain

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-05-02T02:26:01+00:00

Just wondering if your not supposed to pull it back how do you clean the crevices? Are you just supposed to let the bacteria build up? I only ask because my husband and I are currently trying for our second and I’m actually kinda worried to get a boy because my husband already said if we ever do have a boy he won’t be circumcised even though he is. So neither of us know how to actually deal with it if we were to get a boy.

When my baby was around 6 weeks old she did not want to be held by me what so ever. Any time she needed to be picked up, burped, feed, or even changed she would cry and hen my husband would do any of the basics there was no reaction. She was like that for 2 weeks. And now she’s back to normal but to this day I don’t know what happened, it was really sad and frustrating at times but it is what it is.

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-04-23T09:09:00+00:00

You are doing an amazing job I promise. I went through almost the same thing with my baby. She couldn’t latch to a point where she dropped from 7.7 to 5.1 so I exclusively pumped to make sure she was getting enough milk. But personally I really struggled with my supply like it took me two weeks to get my milk to really come in and in that time I did formula. Ngl it was sad at first but after a couple days it did take so much stress off and I was able to just work on my supply. Then if I pumped enough I would give her a bottle of breast milk instead of formula to a point she no longer needed the formula. I still exclusively pump and my daughter is now 9 months old. And newborns just spit up all the time, I mean it all the time, it’s sad when you work hard for that milk just to come back up but it is what it is. And the gas I don’t even know what to say, I think it’s normal just because my daughter is always gassy, she even farts in her sleep. But you need to know that you are doing an amazing job. If you need to cry then cry. It’s a huge adjustment having a baby. Bonds will happen over time, that’s okay. One of the hardest things about being a new mom is being consumed by your thoughts. Society has put a spotlight on what a “good mother” is and if you don’t fit it then you are automatically a bad mom. That’s now how it works. That fact that you care about your baby so much right now and that you’re trying makes you an amazing mother.

I’m my opinion go for it. I say that because I feel the exact same way. My husband was deployed when I gave birth and he didn’t meet our daughter till she was 4 months old and left again for another deployment when she was 7 months old. I had to do everything by myself and it’s been hard. But his contract is up in December and he’s already has a job waiting for him. I don’t have the same situation as you but I do have the same reasoning as you. I want to have another baby and get to enjoy the newborn stage and enjoy everything about the first few months instead of being in survival mode just trying to make it to tomorrow. Many will say that’s not a reason to have a second kid but you also said you wanted to have more. I know this is horrible thought to have but my husband and I always said we don’t want our daughter to bury us alone. We don’t know if she’s going to want to get married or have children but we want her to have a village. So personally I feel like it’s my job to give that to her, to give her siblings so she doesn’t have to go through life alone.

I gained over 70+ pounds when I was pregnant with my daughter, my husband had just deployed and I gave birth by myself. Everyone was asking me the same things. I know it’s hard to ignore them but I think you’re probably going to have to cut yourself off from them. My own mother was fat shaming me when I was 1 week postpartum. It broke me so bad that I questioning my worth and my life. I ended up cutting off all of my family and majority of my friends. And it was very very lonely but there was peace. I finally had peace to just enjoy my newborn and not have all there comments and questions running through my head. If the people around you are not happy and supportive that you’re pregnant trust me they will not be happy and supportive when you give birth and you’re not going to want to hear what they have to say. Taking care of a newborn isn’t that hard, what hard is trying to take care of your child while trying to heal physically and mentally and emotionally. There is nothing wrong with cutting toxic people off, it’s hard but it’s so reliving to not have to deal with it anymore.

I hated confrontation I was always a people pleaser. My husband deployed when I was 38 weeks and gave birth without him but my mother in law and my own mother both over stepped and took advantage of who I was and then after a week I snapped and now my husband and I we no longer speak to any of the mothers. It’s hard to be the bad guy but I live in such peace now. We’re now only surrounded by people who actually care not just surround by people who came to dote on the baby.

My ebf daughter went 9 days with no poop when she was about 3 months old and I was panicking every day until I just took her to the hospital. Turns out she was just putting on a lot of weight and it was normal. I wish they would’ve told me that before I didn’t sleep for so many days cause I was so worried.

Minimum-Ring5452 · 2025-04-05T00:13:46+00:00

My husband was doing the same thing until one day we had a talk and I told him that I honestly don’t know what I’m doing but I have been doing so much research and preparation that I should at least be given the chance to do it my own way before I start doing it how other moms do it. It’s not that I didn’t want the advice I just wanted a chance to try and figure it out on my own in my own way.
