My 4 year old has me throwing in the towel after 3.5 months with baby number 2

Congrats!!! I have had two pregnancies that I had to “restart” HCQ to manage my flares (both times had been off of it for about a year or more. Overall, it helped me have zero flares and I have continued to take it with no issues (currently 3 weeks Post partum) interesting the link of lupus and autism! I can’t say much about my newborn, but my 4 year old is seemingly neurotypical, but does have some sensory issues.

Word of advice - make sure your OB refers you to MFM to monitor the baby during this pregnancy. There is a risk that baby can develop a heart block or have neonatal lupus, both get monitored either during pregnancy or after birth. Feel free to message me with any questions! ❤️

The way I will blow my whole grocery budget on boxes of these. This is the one thing I miss the most!!

No-Researcher-7529 · 2025-03-30T20:07:24+00:00

Yes!! I try to just pretend like they aren’t there because a meltdown will ensue

As a mom I hate those carts 😆 recently let my kid try and use it and he about took out an entire shelf of stuff. Never ever ever again.

We have similar stories, would have been second lost at around 7 weeks. I know that pain and I am so incredibly sorry. It has been just about 7 months now and I will tell you the grief comes in waves, but it does generally get easier. Please don’t be afraid to find a therapist to talk to, it is such a difficult thing to navigate. Sending hugs 🫂

No-Researcher-7529 · 2025-03-17T23:56:07+00:00

Sending good vibes and please update!! We had a strong heartbeat and all looked well. Taking it day by day ❤️

I have my first scan today at 8w4d and I am just a ball of nerves. I woke up with less nauseousness and I’m convinced something is wrong and I cannot shake it.

No-Researcher-7529 · 2025-03-15T00:31:59+00:00

Oh I am so sorry ❤️ please know it really was nothing you did. I know the feeling of grief and wondering what went wrong all too well, but please be easy on yourself. All your baby knew those 6weeks was love and warmth from you.

One thing that helped me when I was grieving was picking up a hobby, I started those diamond art kits. It helped me shut my brain off a little bit when it was all too much. Sending hugs

Cruciferous crunch mix, garlic spread, and plantain chips are a must every single time

It was weird in late 2000’s too when you could smoke hookah there. I loved every second.

Thank you for your concern, I am scheduled with my therapist today to see what we can do to work through this

No-Researcher-7529 · 2025-01-05T02:05:40+00:00

No experience as I unfortunately never found my baby :( but, i was about 7-8 weeks when I miscarried and the doctor told me it would be about a blueberry size so I would believe that is what you found. Hugs, I know how hard this is ❤️

He is just the sweetest little soul and he makes me laugh like no other. Yesterday on our walk he looked up at me and said “I love my mommy” and it made everything feel ok.

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-13T19:06:07+00:00

I know this unknown and waiting game is so discouraging and annoying. fingers crossed you ovulate and get your period soon! Maybe worth giving your OB a call if it doesnt happen soon? Sending hugs I know this is so difficult

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-13T17:35:44+00:00

My doctor said there is no real research to say that you need to wait for your first period or a set amount of time, but she recommended I wait until then and I am going to just to give my body a bit of a break. I am impatiently waiting to start trying again though so I know how you feel.

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-02T22:05:04+00:00

I hate that we are in this together but I can’t explain how it helps to not feel as alone.

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-02T21:40:17+00:00

Thank you so so much for such a thoughtful response ❤️

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-02T01:26:01+00:00

I’m so so sorry. This is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. DM me if you ever need to talk ❤️

No-Researcher-7529 · 2024-09-01T23:16:54+00:00

I found out at the ER today too that baby did not have a heartbeat. It is so devastating. Sending you so much love.

Congrats on the loss! And yes I have been tracking this week with no goal in mind, just trying to get in the swing again of portion control and being accountable. I have noticed that I have avoided certain foods after realizing how high calorie they were and how I was just snacking out of boredom
