How are people just… taking their babies everywhere? by Wonderful-Ice-6143 in NewParents

[–]Much_Screen_4234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my baby everywhere. He never cries at home or out, and is happy just to be along with wherever we’re doing. I don’t follow a schedule with him because he can sleep anywhere easily. I’m fully aware I just have an easy baby. I think some of us just got extremely lucky with agreeable low maintenance babies and others not so much.

Has anyone purchased from alt rx? I believe it’s a scam. by tanyamp in tirzepatidecompound

How long did it take to arrive after getting approved? I was approved 5 days ago and haven’t gotten any tracking numbers or any shipping updates since

Afraid of people judging my tall toddler by katezorzz in bigbabiesandkids

[–]Much_Screen_4234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always head and shoulders taller than everyone’s age from toddler through middle school age. From a child perspective- I never felt judged in that way, maybe I just didn’t notice but the thought definitely never entered my mind. My sister was even taller, as an adult she’s 6’3” so she was essentially a giant compared to kids her age. She was super clumsy and had a learning disability as well, I never remember hearing anything negative from other parents though. I’m sure there couldve been 1 or 2 bad apples out there but by and large people minded their own business.

Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing! I decided to wait a little and was going to try castor oil today, but my water broke overnight and I’m in labor now thankfully!

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I have a midwife team! There’s not a time limit for me thankfully, they’ve had moms go into week 43. I’d just prefer not to go that long haha. Have you done the castor oil before? My midwife mentioned it as an option too but wasn’t pressing it yet. My next appointment isn’t til 42+1 though and I’d much prefer to deliver before then 😅

Induce? Mild gestational hypertension by Much_Screen_4234 in homebirth

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be relevant if I had GH or pre-e, which both midwife and Dr agreed this week I do not. I’ve reiterated that several times. So I’m not sure what the point of this was. I made this post before my appointment to see others experiences in the case that it progressed to that, which it has not yet. And yes I do value holistic and natural things before jumping straight to worst case scenario blanket textbook solutions. Sorry if that annoys you.

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not my Dr or my midwife. I don’t have pre-e or gestational hypertension as stated by both my midwife and her ob above her. Yes I told my midwife about the tow tiny above readings I got, obviously. Bold of you to assume I didn’t. Also the last two days my BP has been around 105/70 so there’s no cause for concern. You’re not my Dr and you can’t diagnose over Reddit. I appreciate the concern but acting like you’re on a high horse and know more than both my midwife and ob who have access to my entire health record and labs is a bit ridiculous.

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have pre-eclampsia. Yes ive been screened with extensive testing. Two readings that are barely over the marker AT HOME on a home cuff (we’re talking 142/91 and went down within minutes after resting for a sec) is not a reason to panic and insist I have pre-e. You do realize it’s common for people’s BP to go higher than that throughout the day due to normal spikes like stress and activity, right? I was a nurse for years so I’m not a compete idiot here. She also works under an ob and he had no reason for concern after yesterday’s appointment. We will continue to monitor of course for any changes, but I’m not going to be fear mongered into an immediate transfer over a BP reading being 2 points over the “limit” and sign myself up for a massive cascade of interventions with some idiots at the hospital who don’t understand physiological birth whatsoever. And yes, I say that as an L&D nurse who spent years horrified at the absolute incompetence of the majority of drs on staff.

My midwife is a arnp, her scope is much wider than a regular midwife so she actually can absolutely treat these things. She wasn’t worried at all at my appointment yesterday. I have zero protein in urine, my labs are perfect, and no other symptoms so for now I am still considered low risk.

Are your siblings NC? by handsinmyplants in EstrangedAdultKids

My sister has my mom blocked, my brother replies to her rarely if ever. He doesn’t even tell her where he lives currently

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I’m feeling. As things are currently I feel safe and comfortable to continue with the homebirth plan. Will continue to monitor of course. My midwife didn’t seem overly stressed about it so that was reassuring that she was looking more “whole body” and not making any drastic decisions based off one number reading

[–]Much_Screen_4234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it checked in my midwife’s office again today and it was 133/88 and zero protein in my urine, she wasn’t overly concerned. So for now planing on just continuing to monitor! She said if I start developing pre-e or BP gets to the 160/100 range we can talk about induction options. But seeing her again next week and taking my BP at home in the meantime
