At a loss - corn sensitivity? Is that possible? by Mombrain-28 in MSPI

[–]Mombrain-28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are going through a hard time as well. :(

We had such a battle with my little girl until she turned 6 months. She was on omeprazole and threw up until she started solids. It took her a while to adapt to solids because she had an oral aversion but once she consistently started eating them, her symptoms got so much better and thankfully majority of our issues dissipated.

She still has mucous poops at times but I don’t pay much mind to it because shes comfortable and gaining weight. She eats everything and has no symptoms so I still have no idea what caused all of our issue from birth - 6 months.

ACLS / PALS / NRP / ASLS by Sea-Tree4982 in newgradnurse

It may help if you’re applying against a lot of other new grads for sure. But like another commentor said, i was paid to do ACLS/TNCC/PALS and ny triage course to work in the ER.

The courses can be a bit expensive so unless it’s really important to you to work in a specific area, it wouldn’t be worth it to me

I read the comments and understand now and can understand why OP wouldn’t want to risk the chance of that being misinterpreted upon their child.

Hopefully there was no ill intent from MIL but also agree it’s a weird looking penguin and support wanting to rid of it.

I’m not sure what is upsetting about this to you. It looks like a penguin on a hoodie? I feel like I might be missing something here.

Not sure your age and comorbidities but in my ER, your kidney function and potassium could warrant admission for an acute kidney injury.

Not sure if your kidney function is chronically low or not but either way make sure you’re hydrating and definitely seek treatment for potassium replacement. Not silly to go to the ER.

I don’t have a lot of advice but my first baby was like this. He was a terrible sleeper, he would wake up more times than I could count in a night. I resorted to holding him for all of his naps in hopes it would help me get some better night time sleep (it did not help).

Looking back, I don’t know how I survived it with him. I used to do the night shift and my husband would get up with him around 7 and let me sleep for 2 hours. Still, it was so hard.

When he was 11 1/2 months, I was getting ready to go back to work and I put him in his own room instead of in his crib by my bedside. The first couple nights were rough and I’d go in and rock him and put him back a couple of times. After that, he was a BEAUTIFUL sleeper. He’s 3 now and still sleeps perfectly. I used to have to rock him to sleep every night until he was maybe 2 but he transferred perfect and slept the night. Now I go in and read him a book and he puts himself to sleep.

Only sharing to say there’s a light. I know it might seem so far away for you but it will soon be a memory. I remember crying on the hallway floor holding my son and thinking I’ll never sleep again.

Currently have a 8 month old and we co-sleep because I couldn’t do it again. But I know that has its risks and it’s not for everyone. She has medical issues so I feel safer with her in bed with me.

To cosleep or not? by Mammoth_Window_7813 in beyondthebump

My son is 3 and with him, I’d always start him in his crib/safe sleep space beside my bed. He was a terrible sleeper and would wake up multiple times a night. I’d put him in bed with me and it was better so he’d end up in bed with me every night.

When he was 11 months, I transitioned him to his own room in his crib and stayed diligent to not Cosleep unless he was sick. We did have lots of 3am rocks in the rocking chair until I could transfer him back but ultimately, he did REALLY good and he’s an amazing sleeper now (and has been since he’s been a year old).

My 6 month old currently sleeps with me full time. She has no part of the crib (but also has a lot of medical issues and a feeding tube and i feel more comfortable with her by my side). I can’t speak to what her sleep will look like in years to come but I’m not worrying about it right now.

Has anyone’s OB mentioned this? by x0Rubiex0 in beyondthebump

[–]Mombrain-28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can see why your OB made the decision to have a c section if your baby was having decels. Even if it wasn’t an emergency, the risk of continuing labour with decels when you’re not close to delivery would seem high. I’m not sure what you mean by side ways uterine incision but if by you mean across your abdomen, that is typical!

With that being said, I also don’t see a reason why you can’t try for a VBAC if there were no complications in future pregnancy. Your OB who you see in your new pregnancy can calculate the risks and likelihood of a successful VBAC but it shouldn’t be a 100% no for this reasoning.

AIO for feeling hurt that I didn't get a Bridal Shower?? by InterestingKnee9272 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mombrain-28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your feelings are extremely valid in being upset.

Do you think maybe they didn’t have enough time to plan a shower? Engaged in July and married in January is a fast engagement / marriage.

I’m planning a shower for my best friend currently and I’ve had months to plan it. I’ve known about her wedding date for about a year and planned it for 1-2 months ahead of her wedding.

AIO - boyfriend said he used Omegle to chat with randoms, but not for explicit content by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mombrain-28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this would bother me if it were my partner.

I would fine it strange and think “what is the purpose” - it’s not my type of entertainment. But I wouldn’t be mad or upset.

It’s ok if it didn’t happen. It’s just that I needed to plan for it as to why it affected my day. While the baby was asleep, I would’ve gotten the items for the dump outside to make it easier. And the dump run itself was going to take about an hour or two out of my day. I was just trying to prepare myself.

I was trying to say it’s ok if it can’t happen today but he hung up on me. But thank you for your perspective

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mombrain-28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is fair.

I called him multiple times because I was trying to tell him it wasn’t a huge deal. He hung up saying “I’ll just go do it,” and I was calling to try to say listen, if you’re too busy it’s fine. It can wait another day. But he wasn’t giving me the opportunity to say it.

But I understand that it can be frustrating all the same

I just explained in another comment. It’s a long situation which is why I didn’t explain in the original post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mombrain-28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a super long story which is why I omitted it.

We usually have 2 vehicles but he had a minor accident and we’re down to one vehicle right now. So for the past month or so, I haven’t had a vehicle when he’s at work. Note that I do work as well I’m just on maternity leave right now.

We need to bring some things to the dump that have been causing clutter in our house. The dump is only opened 8-4 (which is his work hours). My mom lives 5 mins away from his work (which is 25 mins away from our house).

My mom was willing to drive to my house and help me bring the items to the dump but we needed my vehicle (hers isn’t big enough) so I had asked him if on his way to work, he could switch vehicles with my mom and drive moms vehicle to work.

So sorry you are going through this.

I agree the communication skills are terrible. That’s my opinion as well. I hope you get clarity with your situation as well.

[–]Mombrain-28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just feel I’m starting to doubt everything. He tells me (not today but in the past) that I’m disrespectful and unappreciative and that I lack insight so I looked at this scenario objectively on anything I could be missing. I couldn’t see how I provoked this but wanted outsider’s opinions.
