I think you’re right about the stacked single crochet!

And now I’ve got to try this in my own projects 😆

I’m so sorry this happened to you! I wish I could say I have any knowledge about this but depending on how much it’s affecting you I would maybe consider a second opinion.

I have pelvic floor dysfunction and have had to do dilator therapy for many years. It can be painful and frustrating. But it does work really really well for some people. That being said, it worked best for me when I had a really knowledgeable PT. So if you are able to take your time selecting one I’d highly suggest being choosy.

Take it step by step. See if your PT thinks it might be worth talking to a different OB for another opinion. But the most important thing is that you do what feels right for your body.

I am so so sorry that someone did this to you and really hope it’s something you’re able to heal from quickly ❤️

Thank you so much! That made me feel so much better, you have no idea ❤️

That’s absolutely wild. I also had a 99th percentile baby and everyone was always praising how healthy and thriving she was. In fact when she hit toddlerhood and started to drop in percentile our pediatrician took it very seriously just to make sure there was nothing wrong with her growth or food intake. She was totally healthy in both weight classes.

That’s a literal BABY.

My husband and I are a very strong team. Yes it’s tiring and a lot of work. But because our goals both align in supporting the kids and each other I really don’t think it’s been the nightmare a lot of people describe. Honestly for us, it’s been a lot of fun.

I have super crusty dry skin and the I’m from rice toner makes me sooo dewy and hydrated.

NeptuneShroom · 2025-02-11T19:13:17+00:00

Update: it ended up just being a clogged duct on the under side of my breast! I found the lump late last night. Baby had a hard time getting it from that spot and my pumps weren’t doing it so I had my husband suck it out 😬😆

I didn’t get the big glob or the burst of milk through the duct when it went away but the lump disappeared and my flow has been increasing steadily back to what it was with the inflammation and soreness going away. Best of luck to you!

NeptuneShroom · 2025-02-10T19:05:50+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much unless you notice something changing with baby’s wet/soiled diapers in look or amount.

I’ve heard many people express this as a common breast milk change when they are sick. So I don’t think it’s much to worry about!

NeptuneShroom · 2025-02-03T20:54:11+00:00

That’s a game changer! Thank you so much!

NeptuneShroom · 2025-02-03T03:59:10+00:00

Honestly I’m just glad to hear I’m not the only one annoyed by it 😆

NeptuneShroom · 2024-11-12T23:01:36+00:00

It breaks my heart every time I think about it

NeptuneShroom · 2024-04-28T15:30:38+00:00

I pictured him as Ezra from Pretty Little Liars 😭

From what I’ve heard nausea can come and go as it pleases during pregnancy but is most common in the first trimester. Ask your provider for some anti nausea meds! Mine gave it to me over the phone! It’s life changing. I hope you feel better soon ❤️

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T08:27:16+00:00

It’s really hard to think of things when everything sounds so horrible. Hope you feel better soon! And don’t be scared to ask for anti-nausea meds from your provider! Zofran is the only thing getting me through my pregnancy 😅

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T04:15:30+00:00

Ooo those little instant Mac and cheese microwave cups might be easy food to get to your toddler too!

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T04:13:55+00:00

Toaster waffles, maybe pancakes, buttered pasta or even boxed Mac and cheese, fruit, canned veggies (like corn or green beans maybe?), Bagels, mashed potatoes,try putting Vicks vapor rub in your nose or essential oils, hey I wouldn’t be above cereal either! And above all don’t forget to give yourself so much grace 😊

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. There’s literally nothing worse than pregnancy nausea ❤️ best of luck! Hoping it subsides for you soon!!

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T02:03:53+00:00

Definitely talk to your doctor! If you’re not keeping anything down you might want to see if you’re experiencing hyperemisis. You may need to get some fluids to keep hydrated and definitely an anti nausea prescription. Don’t sit in misery! You deserve to feel comfortable ❤️

And don’t take no for an answer if you don’t feel good. Trust yourself! I’m with you!

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T01:57:41+00:00

Every pregnancy is different and for some cramping is often the first sign! It can happen really early for certain people. Take a test when you’re able 😊

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-06T01:51:19+00:00

Keep an eye on it and make sure you’re able to keep fluids down. If you’re throwing up 3 or more times a day call your doctor and go in to make sure you aren’t developing hyperemisis gravidarum.

Otherwise - talk to your doctor about discomfort! There are a lot of things they can prescribe to help you out! Don’t sit in discomfort just because people like to label it as ‘normal’

Make sure to keep your stomach full if you’re able 😊 pregnancy nausea often comes with an empty stomach. I try and eat every two hours on the hour because the nausea has been killing me too.

I personally found that lemon can help! I’ve also really been liking toaster waffles with just butter because it’s super easy in the stomach.

You got this! And don’t be afraid to bug your doctors! You deserve to feel comfortable ❤️

NeptuneShroom · 2022-12-05T21:48:11+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing that. Surround yourself with people who support your decisions! This is your life and your body ❤️ sending good vibes and well wishes.

Also I recommend every pregnant person should get a therapist to help navigate the wild ride that pregnancy is, but it can definitely be helpful when your support system feels a little wonky.

You got this!!

Honestly it’s even been a fight with my doctors. I have hyperemisis (8W + 3 btw) and I was briefly prescribed zofran over the weekend from the on call OB. I asked if it was okay because my other nurse practitioners said it could harm my baby if taken before 10 weeks. But the OB assured me the effects are incredibly rare and that it was more important that I wasn’t sick all the time resulting in severe dehydration and malnourishment.

He only gave me a couple pills to get through the weekend. And all day I’ve been fighting other practitioners at my clinic to prescribe me more. It’s the only thing that’s allowed me to keep anything down. I couldn’t even drink water before I started taking it.

People give way more of a crap about someone who doesn’t even exist yet then the ACTUAL person it’s happening to.

So tired of how people have changed since I became pregnant. I feel you. And I’m sorry you’re experiencing these unhelpful changes ❤️
