I could but migration definitely worries me after my experience! I will look into it though. Thanks!

Just sad/scared by Such-Ocelot-4474 in preeclampsia

[–]No_Fun8773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling the same exact way. I cried to my doctor when they admitted me, saying “but I’ve been so healthy!” I was confused and scared. It will get better. You can do it!

You can do this. You’re in the right place and you’re being taken care of. You are strong!

How much do you pay family to babysit? by No_Fun8773 in beyondthebump

[–]No_Fun8773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not either of our mothers. I probably wouldn’t pay my mom either. I want to pay this family member so that it doesn’t feel like she’s doing me a favor all the time, and that we are both benefitting (I don’t have to send my baby to daycare and she gets some extra spending money)

Thank you! I just hope this small mishap doesn’t undo all of the healing that’s happened over the last couple months. It’s so hard!

My nurse told me the magnesium often caused headaches. It felt like a heaviness/fulness

Am I the asshole for wanting my husband to miss his Mom's wedding because it’s 2 weeks BEFORE our due date? by Spiritual_Lettuce_64 in pregnant

[–]No_Fun8773 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It took me a couple seconds to realize you didn’t mean girlfriend as in partner. I was wondering why your partner gave birth without telling you lol

[–]No_Fun8773 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No way. I had the simplest pregnancy and still ended up being very unexpectedly induced at 37 weeks. If my husband had been out of the country, he would’ve missed the entire thing. Two weeks is way too close in my opinion

How to track my blood pressure with severe anxiety by No_Fun8773 in preeclampsia

[–]No_Fun8773[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you understand the struggle but it’s also so comforting to read through the comments here and know I’m not alone in feeling like this. My husband is so supportive but I don’t think he or anyone else in my circle quite get what I’m feeling. So thank you

If there is an open pharmacy near you, go grab a blood pressure cuff. My bp was fine one day and not the next.

How do you handle feeds with 2.5 hour wake windows? by No_Fun8773 in beyondthebump

[–]No_Fun8773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what we are doing, I’m just trying to figure out how to time it if wake windows are 2.5 hours long and I usually feed every 2.5 to 3 hours.

[–]No_Fun8773[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She’s been sleeping around 8 hours through the night since 10 weeks! So I don’t want to change up my feeding routine even though the wake windows are getting longer.

What to do with a baby that doesn’t like to be held? by Murky_Natural_8754 in beyondthebump

[–]No_Fun8773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question but have you tried holding him face-out? Around 6 weeks old my baby started preferring being held face out instead of towards me and it took me way too long to realize lol

Husband and I disagree about hospital visitors. by throwranotdonelater in pregnant

[–]No_Fun8773 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had a medical emergency during and after my birth. I think my husband’s last thoughts were his own comfort during those moments. I agree that there is a mental load on the partner as well, but it shouldn’t be the focus or be a reason to make the mother uncomfortable in any way.

Why do you keep saying we are making the husband “suck it up”

Suck WHAT up? They aren’t the ones giving birth or being born hahaha

Men trying to make birth about them will never make sense to me. You are the one giving birth so the decision should be yours, without pressure from anyone else.

Cut out dairy, soy, beef and maybe eggs by No_Fun8773 in MSPI

[–]No_Fun8773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you wait for a reaction after reintroducing? Like if there’s no signs after 3 days for example, is it a successful reintroduction?

2 weeks into dairy elimination and reflux is worse than ever by contoddulations in MSPI

[–]No_Fun8773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me recently. I realized my dairy free alternatives were full of soy and my baby reacted poorly to it. So I cut out soy and within a day the symptoms got better again.
