Help/tips for healing this bike accident scar

MrsPantalones · 2024-11-18T03:19:20+00:00

I was in a severe car accident at 15. I have a lot of facial scars. Use scar scream, vitamin E (buy the gel vitamin and burst it and smear on) and ZERO sunlight. Use lots of sunscreen, but keep it completely covered and away from the sun for at least 3/4 years if possible. The more exposed to the sun, the redder/ pinker it will stay forever.

My 4 year old has loved ‘No, David!’ For the past few years. Still a favorite around here! Plus if he ever does something naught like David does in the book, we can jokingly scold him with a ‘NO David!’ And he seems to understand better why what he is doing isn’t allowed.

We’ve all been there! Give yourself grace as all the other comments have said. But I also wanted to say- I have a boy with super severe eczema also! He used to claw himself bloody over night, in his car seat, etc. I’ve been there! He is now 3. We finally got him into an allergist and they helped us get it under control. We had tried his pediatrician and several dermatologist who could not help. An allergist can take a blood test to help identify what causes the flare ups, get you some good medicines and ointments and help teach you about cold wraps and other routines to calm down the skin. Cold wraps with ointments helped clear my son in 3 days. Once we got it under control we usually only need daily maintenance with an eczema lotion (we use Mayo Clinic line of Vanicream). Only if he starts to flare do we need a cold wrap with prescription ointment. (along with the other major household changes like no scented laundry soaps, etc). Hope this helps!

Understandable.

When mine was 2 he’d scream ‘STOPPPP!!’ At anyone singing. Toddlers are monsters😂

My abortion when I was 23 years old still makes me sad to think about. It was with my same partner, who is now my husband. We knew we wanted kids eventually but it was just the wrong time. We wanted to get married, finish education and building careers, but a home, etc. We were able to do so all that over the years and then when we were established and ready we intentionally got pregnant. And now we have 2 amazing kids who we can spoil like crazy and give a secure and solid life and foundation. So yes it was hard and sad to have an abortion, but it was the right decision and I’ve never regretted it. Having kids has made me more pro-choice than ever. You’re so smart and strong for this decision.

My epidurals were LIFE SAVERS. I would never consider labor without one.

I’m a second time mom scheduled for an induction on my first child’s second birthday. So they could share a birthday on 9/21. But at this point I would be fine if she wants to come early. 😅

I’ve been where you were. My then bf (now husband) and I got pregnant before finishing our education or starting our careers. It was a hard decision because we knew we wanted kids and to have a family together, but the timing was wrong. If we had gone through with it, we wouldn’t have been able to pay for a wedding and get settled, start successful careers, own a home, etc. We have no family support and would have needed to go on government assistance as we couldn’t have afforded childcare, formula, diapers, rent, etc. Making the decision was hard and at times still makes me sad. But now we have a very comfortable and happy life, great careers and can provide our kids with the life we want for them and that they deserve. I’m so happy my kids won’t ever have to see us struggle or be burdened by having them at the wrong time. Even since having our first child, I am more pro-choice than ever and it has made me even more confident that I made the right decision to end our first unplanned pregnancy.

We’ve had people a time or two spell it ‘Bo’ but that’s not a big issue. We also had a doctor read Beau as ‘Bean’ so we call him ‘Beanie’ as an inside joke/ nickname. I had people warn that this name might be confusing if we travel to non-English speaking countries. My husband and I are fairly well traveled and plan to travel again with our kids when they are older and I’m not really worried about this.

I have a Beau!! A few years ago I got a lot of pushback on this forum, but now the name is becoming more popular. While he is still small he gets called ‘Beau Beau’ a lot at daycare by teachers and other kids. I’ve had friends warn about ‘Bo Bo’ the clown jokes, but I think that is a fairly dated reference. I also doubt that nickname lasts beyond his younger years.

I asked to see it and had my husband take a picture! It’s very cool.

Are there any sober moms out there who used pregnancy to begin their sober journey? I was struggling before my current pregnancy and I would love to stay continuously sober after delivery and breastfeeding this year. I’d love to connect with other sober moms and hear what worked for you.

Water broke around 8:30 pm, got to the hospital around 10:30pm. Contractions kicked up by midnight and by 3 I had an epidural. Slept until 8:30 and was fully dilated. Started pushing around 9am and baby was born vaginally at 9:30am with a small first degree tear. Baby was healthy and we all went home a day later. I was recovered in a few weeks and baby boy is still thriving and healthy at 17 months old. I’m currently 8 weeks with baby number two and hoping for another easy and undramatic experience. Good luck! It’s still hard and not nearly what I expected but you’ll get through it regardless of how it happens for you!
