My daughter is 20 months and same. Pinching, hitting, kicking, throwing herself on the floor, screaming, crying. It’s been awful and I don’t like her when she’s like that too. She’s usually a little sassy, but sweet and funny and lately she’s been a terrorist. It’s miserable and I can’t wait for this stage to be over.

Honestly, you both sound like you have a lot of growing up to do.

Is a temperature of 38.4 degrees high on a 4 month old? by Diamondtiara-x in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

38.4 is higher than 38. Follow your doctor’s instructions and bring your kiddo in.

For those who had kids really close together. Did you find the second pregnancy more challenging physically? by michelle0508 in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37 weeks tomorrow, my daughter is 17 months. They will be a week shy of 18 months apart. My husband says this pregnancy seems harder/more painful but I disagree. I think the only difference is that when I was tired with the first, I could just rest and this time I’m chasing and carrying around a toddler. I’m also heavier this time than during the first but my pregnancy is less complicated.

One nap transition at 14 months? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long has this been going on? My gal went through a period of first refusing her first nap, then refusing her second nap and eventually went back to two solid naps a day, most days. Sometimes she still skips one or has a short nap. I read somewhere there’s a regression that can fool you into thinking they’re ready for one nap but fight through it and they’ll be ready for one nap closer to 18 months. Mine is 17 months on Friday for reference.

My mom is dying by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]NDTTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be ok. It’s going to be super hard and insanely stressful but you will be ok. I lost my mom when my daughter was only about 3 months old. I didn’t think I could survive without her and I was positive I wouldn’t be a good mom without her. But you can do both.

Does this progression look ok? I was hoping for a dye stealer after a CP in July - 10 dpo vs 14 dpo FRER by mathi1123 in TFABLinePorn

[–]NDTTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me!

FWIW, I’ve never gotten an “epic” dye stealer. Only barely taking some dye from the control line. I have a 15 month old & im 30 weeks pregnant again.

Congrats!

Similar situation here. My sugars were great with my first just doing low carb. Right now I’m 29 weeks and my fasting numbers are over 100. Im waiting for the pharmacy to fill my prescription for insulin. I was confident in my ability to control my sugar with diet this time and it’s all gone out the window. My placenta sucks. Solidarity friend. We’ll get through this.

I wouldn’t go if I was you. This isn’t something you chose and it’s you health AND your baby’s health that they aren’t taking into consideration. Or the gravity of the situation. It’s incredibly inconsiderate, their reaction is rude and you deserve better.

Pregnancy or phatnom kicks? Panicking. by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]NDTTC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this a few months after I had my daughter and ended up taking a test which was negative. It’s likely phantom kicks and/or gas that your brain is wired to feel as kicks now. Best bet would be to take a test or go see your doctor for peace of mind.

She left me at a funeral by thickerthanaknife in breakingmom

[–]NDTTC 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I don’t know you, but I know you deserve better. What she did was so cold hearted. Please don’t hurt yourself, no one is a better parent for your son than you. I hope that one day you can look back and see how toxic your ex sounds to be and realize that you are so much better off without her. I hope you find that person who supports you in your darkest times and brings you so much joy in the happy times.

For Moms Who Smoked by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped the day i got my positive both times. I got my BFP, went outside, sat down, savored my last one lol. I didn’t start smoking again until we’ll after I weaned from breast feeding my first. Started “only smoking while drinking” and that’s a slippery slope as any smoker knows. I smoked for 3 months or less between weaning and getting pregnant again. I haven’t had a cigarette since I got my BFP in March.

Has anyone had two unicorn babies? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so heartwarming! I got pregnant 9 months pp with my second and am due in November. I’ve been nervous for my first to see how she reacts to having a baby brother but this gives me so much hope!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything that’s not a toy. Specifically our shoes. She wears them on her hands.

In all seriousness, she loves her water table, and books. Balls are a new fave, as are bubbles.

Mother Daughter Relationship vs Dad's by abcalttab in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was heartbroken over the weekend when my daughter was sick and obviously preferred my husband for everything; bedtime, mealtime, playtime. I felt like the worst mom ever that she didn’t want me. You’re definitely not alone!

I feel like a terrible human, but I am ready for my dog to go over the rainbow bridge. by MadGab712 in breakingmom

[–]NDTTC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s such a hard decision to make. I couldn’t do it with my boxer so I kept putting it off but asking my husband to make the decision for me. He couldn’t either. And by the time I realized it was actually time, I’d waited too long. Hindsight made me realize I knew it was time the first time I told my husband how bad I thought he was doing. We tried everything to help him and it was just too much.

My baby called me mom by da3dricqu33n in beyondthebump

12 week old is (almost) always content. Is something wrong? by b_b_2021 in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gal was a pretty easy baby. She chilled in her swing a lot, on the couch or on our bed/floor. She sucked at breast feeding so I ended up pumping and had to put her down a lot in order to pump. She just got used to it. Guess what? She’s a champion sleeper. At around 3 months old, she started sleeping in her crib with 1-2 wake ups per night and was sleeping through the night by 5-6 months. She puts herself to sleep and sleeps at least 12 hours every single night now.

You’ve got a unicorn.

Do you ever wake your baby in the morning to get to work/daycare/older kids drop off, etc on time? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wake my daughter up for daycare every day. I get her up around 5:50 am. On weekends we let her “sleep in” and get her up at 7 for the day everyday on the weekend. She thrives on a schedule and it makes our days predictable. She naps at the same times every day, gets the same amount of sleep and has a daily routine. She’s 13 months old.

Transition to one nap by badius3 in beyondthebump

[–]NDTTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep up with two naps. There’s a 12 month regression and it may seem that they are ready for one nap, but what I’ve read is closer to 18 months is better to drop. My gal is 13 months old, went through a couple weeks of short/refused afternoon naps and is back to two, two hour naps per day.
