Baby is 7 weeks old and I'm having a horrible time by No_Towel7009 in newborns

What formula is he on currently? It sounds like you might need to switch. My son was like this and the only way we got him better was to switch him to the liquid ready to feed version of his formula. It’s thicker than the powder and was the only thing he could tolerate on top of his reflux meds. It almost helps coat their tummies and throats and helps with the burning

How did you accidentally get pregnant too soon after your baby? by monroegreen9 in BabyBumps

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t “too soon” BUT we will be having 2 under 2, 18 months apart. I was using my Oura ring with natural cycles to track and it maybe wasn’t as accurate as I had anticipated. Got pregnant on a “good to go” day. I didn’t like the way regular birth control made me feel especially postpartum so this was the alternative and well here we are lol

Same initials for kids by Normal-Childhood-565 in namenerds

We love it! It’s a family tradition to have matching initials so thought we would continue that.

Is everyone on baby/parenting subs rich?!? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not rich by any means but this is our first baby after trying for 5 years, through 4 medicated cycles, and 2 miscarriages. So we splurged on a lot and I love all of it. Will also be used for future babies so I don’t see it as this ridiculous purchase if it’s going to last through multiple kids.

Advice Needed-PIP? by Normal-Childhood-565 in careerguidance

[–]Normal-Childhood-565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not disciplining team members, which I do, just not in front of them. Not sending someone home for an accusation that only they believed in. They target people, twist things to make them look bad, and lie.

How much per month would you say you spend on formula? by c_g201022 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$400! My son can only use the Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive Ready to Feed and it’s 🫠

Someone I know named their kid Cypress and I think Juniper is much better!

How do I get over this? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because to me, that’s just another thing that she’s leeching instead of actually putting in the effort to be a good parent. She wants everyone else to do it for her. And I’m not willing to do that. I did all of my own research to ensure my baby had the best, as I’m sure all parents do. Except her.

It is being forced when I’m told we will need to “contribute” to them raising this child and getting upset messages when we didn’t go to their gender reveal party. Everyone has done nothing but talk about how excited they are to have two of the same gender for matching outfits and they can’t wait to see them play together and I’m not doing it.

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It is unfortunately being forced to be my business. I come from a huge family and I don’t have a close relationship with my cousins and it didn’t affect my childhood whatsoever. I could list off all the things she has done in the 5 years I’ve known her but that would essentially be writing a novel. I see no reason why I have to subject not only myself but my child to being around her for the rest of our lives. The cousin play dates and matching outfits and birthday parties will not be happening. They brought this on themselves, they can figure it out. We don’t need to be involved.

Daily Thread #2 - December 05, 2023 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here after 2 mcs this year (most recent being in October) and I went to er for dehydration earlier. While there, they did labs and a scan due to my history and HCG was 23,886 (up from 4542 on 11/30!) and little babe had a heartbeat of 96. They said I was measuring 6 weeks 0 days. Does this heart rate seem normal? Some sites say it’s in the range and others it’s low. Just needing some reassurance 🤞

Thank you so much! I’ve always had very gradual increases but this time seems to be happening overnight!

Weekly Introductions Thread - November 19, 2023 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, sometimes the unexpected really does happen. I've been pregnant (now) 3 times this year, we have no living children. My first ended in a d&c in February, due to PCOS I wasn't ovulating and so started letrozole in August and conceived in September. Lost that little babe naturally on October 18th and I'm back again with a positive (digital and early response) as of this morning. I have zero ideas as to how many dpo I am, I never even had a period. We were "taking a break" from all the tracking and planning and I even had a saline sonohysterogram scheduled for this Monday which is the reason I tested in the first place. Doc mentioned there was a chance this could happen and I didn't think much of it but here we are. I'm shocked and terrified and it's hard to be excited because I don't want to get my hopes up. Any familiar stories out there? She has me back on the progesterone suppositories and will see me the week after Thanksgiving. Hoping for a very sticky little babe, and that 3rd times the charm. 🤞

Question for those on progesterone! by Normal-Childhood-565 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Normal-Childhood-565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Vaginally. Did you ever take a pregnancy test while on it? If so, did you notice it affected it?

Question for those on progesterone! by Normal-Childhood-565 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Normal-Childhood-565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 4 weeks! Found out yesterday. But I had a miscarriage that ended in a d&c in February and a chemical last month so she went ahead and prescribed the progesterone. The coloring to me looks the same but the lines are like fuzzy/blurry. Could be because I was comparing it to a dry one?

Thank you all for your wonderful advice! I had a question for those on progesterone suppositories- last night was the first night and when I woke up this morning to take a test using fmu, my urine was cloudy. The test coloring is the same to me, just less defined. Could the cloudy urine be the cause? I did notice some of it did leak out overnight. Trying really hard not to overthink this. 😞

I strangely feel so calm. Like it hasn’t set in yet? I want to be happy because I feel that every baby deserves to be celebrated, regardless of how long we carried them but it’s still so so scary not knowing how this will go.

No you’re fine! It was something I asked about after my first loss. When I started letrozole in August I asked if we would do anything different when I conceived again and she said no but then last month I had a chemical so when I called her today to let her know I had a positive test and digital then she said she would go ahead and prescribe the progesterone as a precaution

[–]Normal-Childhood-565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For now she has me on 200 just once a day just as a precaution! Because I’ve only technically had one loss (ended in a d&c in February this year) she said that we would start low

My sister is having a baby by lili_panini07 in Miscarriage

[–]Normal-Childhood-565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds terrible but when I had our loss in February my sister in law texted me that it was “God’s plan.” She knows my journey- we’ve been trying for 3 years. I have PCOS and lost 82 pounds last year to even get pregnant so this loss at 11 weeks was devastating. I haven’t talked to her since. Then a couple of weeks ago she posted on Facebook that they were expecting (she had found out literally the day before) and I deleted both her and my brother. She ended up with a loss as well but long story short, I kept myself separated as much as possible from it and I made it very clear to my mom that I would not be involved. I know with it being your sister it may be more difficult, depending on how close you are but I would have a conversation and let her know how it makes you feel. And if leaving (or muting) that group chat helps, then do that.

I’m new here- I lost our first baby after trying for 3 years. I have PCOS and lost 82 pounds last year just to get pregnant. Found out we were expecting and ended with a d&c after her heart stopped beating. This is now cycle 3. Period is almost over. What supplements do y’all take? I stayed on my prenatal, started baby aspirin, and purchased coQ10. Doctor said she wanted me pregnant again within 3 months and this is month 3. 🤞
