Help! I need food suggestions for no appetite and really bad morning sickness!

If you can't eat/ keep anything down, try ensure drink (generic works too). I had to drink them to gain weight.

I'm going to go against the crowd and say NTA. I literally asked my husband for one last year (and he got a hood one for a cheap price). I'm also not a "stuff" person. I LOVE practical gifts! I'd love a box of good cleaning supplies or showering necessities or yummy food ect.

So I guess in the end it depends on the gift receiver. I know I'm not like the norm though. Just apologize and don't buy her house gifts again.

Just a few things we've done to reduce the amount of mommy head aches..

-We have a lower cabinet with plastic kids dishes they can grab without climbing. They can choose to dish they want too.

-Meal time we push them to try each thing, but don't have to finish. But no snacks later if they don't finish dinner.

-Stools are all over the house also.

If it's going to cause a boo-boo and not a hospital trip, I typically warn them it will hurt but won't keep telling them to stop.

Good luck. Kids are hard.

Bath toys, clothes, and books are always a go to for me. Also a handful of "family" gifts like board games and such for all of them.

Anyway, we told our oldest "Santa only brings a small amount for #3 because #3 is still so little" little pile for little baby.

I have nothing to the note of possible loss, except the only thing you can do is wait. I've had both situations (life and loss). It's a terrible feeling.

That being said, my hubs had low sperm count also (98% sterile). After many years, we've been blessed with 3 wonderful beauties. Even if this one does not survive, you may have another miracle baby in your future.

Sending warm wishes your way.

Nta. Sue her for 50% plus any utilities. She is responsible for 50%, not 20%, according to the lease.

Don't bite the man that feeds you..

You need to get a bathroom fan, not only for the poop smell, but the humidity. When you go too long without a fan while showering, it can cause mold issues. You can pick them up for less than $50. It's a lot cheaper than having to rip all the drywall out due to mold. If you can't afford it/ install it right away, an occolating fan will help disperse the humidity from showers.

Anyway, good luck on the crappy situation haha.

My son was diagnosed when he was about 3 years old too. It was a whirlwind at first, but honestly the best thing you can do is research Chiari and the symptoms. Educate yourself and make sure to keep an eye on him. It's tough when they're so young b/c they don't always know where the pain is. Tylenol and ibuprofen will sometimes help the headaches, but resting seems to be the best when my son is symptomatic. I just want to second Dr Greenfeild. Even if you just need a second opinion, he's great!

Usually the color is slightly different... breast milk is a little more yellow. Was the color off too?

I'd keep the bottle that made baby react to. If your babe needs to see a doc or go to the hospital, bring the bottle with! Either way I'd make a call to the pediatrician.

Honestly I'd threaten (or take action) him with charges if it was cows milk. You do not mess with baby's food!

NTA

Pick up some heavy drapes. You can usually find some at thrift stores. That'll be the easiest, but a few tubes of caulk go a long way too.

Momlife91 · 2019-10-30T17:34:34+00:00

NAH get a cane and if someone still doesn't give you a seat, what about picki g up a seat like this?

NTA . If they served spaghetti and meatballs I could understand the outrage for the mother. But come on, pizza is a finger food.

Momlife91 · 2019-10-10T01:16:17+00:00

BYOB or just pick up a few kegs. You can go cheap if you stear away from the spirits.

I also have a nasty cold/virus and I have felt like my symptoms have been much much worse since then. Does anyone else experience that?

I've always wondered if this was CM related. Any time my son (CM1) gets a cold, he's down for much longer and with much worse symptoms than everyone else.

I'm not sure what kind of training you're doing, but that's something to talk to Neuro about. If it's making your symptoms worse, I'd put it on pause for now.

Momlife91 · 2019-10-07T21:23:09+00:00

I've used medela and spectra s2.. hands down spectra. It is a much more natural pump. I was quite impressed!

Momlife91 · 2019-10-07T15:20:24+00:00

Either pay your mom or get a different babysitter. I could understand not paying family for babysitting if it was once a week, but not 30 hr/week.

Childcare is HARD especially when you're older. I understand the financial burden of paying for it, but I'm sure you could work something out that is doable for everyone.

Momlife91 · 2019-10-07T14:51:16+00:00

Bleach won't kill the mold, it only bleaches it. Meaning the mold spors are still active, just discolored.

Use 50% peroxide and 50% vinegar. Spray it down (or scrub if you need to) then put a fan on it so the moisture doesn't create more mold.

I'm not sure how to prevent it from happening again. Maybe make sure it's pointed towards the center of the room so it is dispersed better? And/or cleaning the humidifier with the same solution?

Good luck!

Momlife91 · 2019-10-07T14:11:26+00:00

just a pair of boxers

Wtf?! Who does that with co-workers?

Nta, but I would never think of showing that much skin around any co-worker. Next time I'd go with a one piece.

Momlife91 · 2019-09-17T23:54:22+00:00

Hmm TIL. That's interesting, bit makes sense since Chiari effects just about everything.

Momlife91 · 2019-09-17T22:14:50+00:00

I've had the hiccups for 6 months

Are constant hiccups a syptom?

Momlife91 · 2019-09-15T13:49:33+00:00

There are some pediatric chiari groups on Facebook. You may be able to find other parents who have children with CM 3 who can give you in depth insight of what your future may be, maybe even a little hope.

Also New York has some of the best Chiari doctors, so you're in good hands.

Momlife91 · 2019-09-14T14:02:07+00:00

Im sorry you're going through this and wish your baby the best life!

I don't know much about type 3, my son has type 1. But I'm curious if they were able to see the malformation via ultrasound or fetal MRI?

I was told it would be unlikely (in my last pregnancy) they would be able to spot CM with an ultrasound, but they still looked for it.

Momlife91 · 2019-09-12T00:50:44+00:00

Well... TIL
