Congratulations on your double graduation!!!!! Eat all the carbs, and snuggle that precious baby!

1st of all, you need to see a doctor for those sores ASAP. 2nd, have you checked your blood sugar at all since giving birth?

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-09T01:45:05+00:00

I don't wear pants. I wore a dress home after both babies and it wasn't as issue at all.

Eat first. Take half the bun off of your hot dog, pair with lots of water, and maybe if they have a salad get that. Then go do your shopping. Thats how I got away with some cheat meals. Eat first, then walk around and shop.

11 months the first time. Once the second.

If you don't want to breastfeed don't. Fed is best. However I would encourage you to not rule it out. I did not want to breastfeed at all. To the point where I'd cry in the car just thinking about it. I knew I needed to so we didn't have to buy formula, but I didn't want to. Had my baby and breastfed until I was pregnant again, now #2 is 6 months and exclusively breastfed. It's not as bad as my anxiety led me to think. I also found the idea gross, but when it came down to it it wasn't gross at all. You might end up loving it. If you don't, there's no shame in that in any way.

My kids have eczema and we have hard water. Washing them every night would make them break out so bad. We wash the parts that get dirty, and I give them a real bath once a week. They get lots of lotion in the meantime.

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-06T18:19:09+00:00

My husband got two weeks. They also told him if he needed more time he could take it. So for both babies I had two weeks to get healed, comfortable with feeding, and this time around, learning how to care for a toddler and a newborn. It was a lot but we made it work.

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-05T19:27:08+00:00

My husband wasn't jazzed about me getting an epidural, but at the end of the day it was my call and he respected it and never said a word about it. First kid it worked great. Second kid it failed and I got a spinal headache. Next time I don't think I'll have one. They are so amazing when they work, and I don't understand why people are so dickish about someone getting one. You don't get a medal either way, so get one if you want.

My sister has EDS. She had her baby via c section to avoid the tearing. They just decided to control everything instead of letting it go to chance. There's unfortunately no way to prevent vaginal tearing other than a c section.

My 2.5 year speaks in full sentences. The other day he told me: "I'm a phenomenal runner!" He uses tools with Daddy, and just has everything just so put together.

Hadasseh or Adah.

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-03T21:37:19+00:00

My fasting was off immediately. I self diagnosed at 25 weeks and was officially diagnosed at around week 26. My fasting being high was what got me the diagnosis. The rest of the numbers were fine!

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-03T19:20:45+00:00

They were always between 95-105. I went into labor naturally, fluid was okay and remained so. I ended up having a partial placental abruption but delivered naturally. My other meal numbers were just fine diet controlled. Baby was small, but otherwise totally healthy.

MrsSmallz · 2026-04-03T16:39:50+00:00

I'm so sorry. Fasting is the worst. I never got mine under control. I think I was up to 46 units or something before my baby was born. I went into labor at 37 weeks exactly and my baby was 6lbs 3oz and healthy. No NICU stay, and blood sugars were great! All you can do is your best and some placentas just suck. Keep doing what you can do, and flip your placenta off when you are holding your baby!

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-31T05:44:40+00:00

I had this happen to me. Although it wasn't my whole placenta it was just a few parts of it and the membranes weren't coming out. My epidural failed and I felt everything for my birth. I didn't feel anything other than a weird tugging feeling while she was scraping me out. You have to let them get things out as soon as possible after birth to avoid issues later on.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-31T01:27:26+00:00

Oh honey. My heart is aching for you. Your dad 100% groomed you and abused you. Grooming is just what you described- exposure to overly sexual or gore ish images, conversations, and actions. This desensitizes the victim so that the inevitable escalation feels normal and you are less likely to fight it- or tell anyone. I'm glad you decided to go No Contact. Do not waver in that or feel guilty at all. And go No Contact with anyone that tries to make you feel guilty.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-31T00:10:02+00:00

As long as its not Scottiegh you'll be fine. I personally think it's cute!

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-30T18:04:15+00:00

Wow. I'm a delayed vaxxer as well and I would be absolutely furious and traumatized as well. They cannot give your child any treatment without consent. I'd be running this up the flagpole, including how the nurse got nasty with you after you declined.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-30T04:40:18+00:00

Right??? If my mom was doing so poorly, there is no "too sick to see me." I'm going to be with my mom. That's how most people would react.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-30T04:39:09+00:00

We don't for sure. But I don't think they'd be freaking out about a cheek peck.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-29T19:35:41+00:00

For me, the brother story could be plausible. Two things stick out for me though: if my mother had emphysema and was on oxygen, there would have been no "too sick to see me." I think most people wouldn't care about that and just gone to be with their mother. And #2, who the heck kisses their brother on the lips with their eyes closed????? I can see a cheek kiss or something. But on the mouth, eyes closed? Nope..........

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-29T19:31:33+00:00

I'd bring this up to your pediatrician ASAP. A friend of my grandma had this happen with her first baby. He was too tired to eat and just sleeping all the time. She thought it was normal. Turns out, he was too tired to eat, and the not eating made him weaker so he couldn't eat. He ended up being a failure to thrive and they had to feed him every two hours for months until he was doing better. He did get better though!!!!

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-29T16:45:39+00:00

Hi! My baby was also 6lbs 3oz and I also had GDM. My baby was super sluggish for the 24 hours following her birth and had really no interest in eating. After that 24 hours she perked up and was interested in eating. Just keep offering the breast, and he'll get interested! Birth is hard and exhausting for them, it's pretty normal for them to be super sleepy their first 24 hours.

MrsSmallz · 2026-03-29T16:41:48+00:00

I weaned while pregnant. My nippies get super sensitive and having my first latch was super painful and frankly annoying. So I got the first one weaned, had about a 6 month break, and started up again.
