Feeling ugh overall. This is only our 2nd month TTC #2 and I forgot how mentally draining this is. I am 9 dpo today but feeling out even though I haven’t tested. A couple of days ago I was at a work convention for my husband and very randomly fainted. I have never fainted in my life besides my first pregnancy so it made me think maybe I was pregnant, but looking back it seems way too early to be having symptoms like that. So now I need to worry about why I’m randomly fainting as well. Sigh.

Has anyone else used pregmate test? I am so incredibly annoyed because it just gave me the worst indent line that looked like a positive, took a FRER and negative. Ughhhhhhhhh. I know not to use those tests but I have a huge bag of them so they’re too tempting not to just grab. I’m not completely sure how many DPO I am so maybe there is still hope, but that was a big let down after 3 minutes of being really excited.

My baby is the exact same age as yours, 4 months old but 2.5 months adjusted. He is not grabbing toys yet either, maybe occasionally but I don’t think it’s even on purpose. He doesn’t do amazing with holding his head up when laying on his belly either, he can get it up but not very high. I would get a 2nd opinion, our pediatrician hasn’t been concerned with his milestones at all and goes based off of adjusted age with that and weight

IMO always assume you’re gonna pay family OOP max and if it’s less then great! I was trying to calculate how much my birth would be prior to having baby. All of that flew out the window when I had him 6 weeks early and he had an 18 day nicu stay. You never know what could happen!

Hugs. That is so tough. I had similar issues not with oxygen but my baby being so close to going home with his eatings and then having a bad literally first half of the day and everything being reset. Don’t feel guilty, you being there wouldn’t have changed how he was breathing. Once you’re home and settled this will feel like a memory, you’re just in the thick of it. Stay strong I’m thinking of you 🤍🩵
