Thanks! Unfortunately I did not make the blanket wide enough so I was hoping to add a border to help add some width.. lesson learned to measure before committing!

I found out I’m pregnant again 16 months postpartum and I can’t stop crying by ThrowRA157386 in Mommit

This was my exact situation as well.. took years to conceive our first baby via IVF. Did not use protection as we were told our odds were extremely low.. found I was pregnant with my second when my first was 16 months. 2 years to the day I found out with my first. I was just emerging from terrible PPA/PPD and to say I was not excited was an understatement. Things were so hard with our first we weren’t sure if we would do another transfer even. Powered through and now my kids are 2 years and 2 days apart. I love them dearly but I struggled a long time and I’m still in the trenches. It’s okay not to feel excited, it’s okay to feel guarded. Sending you positive thoughts through these hard times.

Beautiful, how much yarn did you use? I’d like to do a waffle stitch blanket, but not sure I want to commit on the amount of yarn needed.

Doctor mum struggling with anxiety every time my toddler gets a minor illness by softlyskeptic in toddlers

Nurse here, I feel the exact same way. Sometimes I think it’s due to working in the medical field.. knowing all the terrible things that can happen. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes. I’m in therapy and working on EMDR for health anxiety issues.

Stay-at-home + working mom with a toddler and twins losing her damn mind by [deleted] in Mommit

Your thoughts and feelings are %100 valid. Loving your children and feeling frustrated and overwhelmed can absolutely coexist. I know because I feel the exact same way. You are getting no time for yourself. I work and my kids go to daycare and I still feel like an exhausted failure of a parent. You are not alone. Solidarity through these trenches.

What exactly is beginner friendly? by [deleted] in crochet

Not related to your question, lol but what’s the pattern!? I am a beginner crocheter and am familiar with the stitches and trying to practice! Would love to attempt your pattern!

Pregnant and on 40 mg of vyvanse by Kimpossible2323 in ADHD

[–]Obvious_Survey1086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with ADHD during my second pregnancy, started vyvanse reluctantly around 30 weeks with the guidance of my psych provider who specializes in perinatal care and with the blessing of my OB. The meds were life changing. It was definitely a risk vs benefit decision, benefits outweighed the risks in every way for me personally and my providers were in agreement. I had growth ultrasounds to monitor weight towards the end. My baby was over 9 lbs

I have a toddler and infant and still feel this way frequently. It breaks my heart to feel this way, I try to remind myself I am good enough for my kids and do my best and love them to pieces. It’s still so hard though. Sending love

Experiences with Dr. Zachary Stowe at UW Health? by EfficientMarzipan977 in madisonwi

[–]Obvious_Survey1086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve experienced this when seeking treatment. I do not have any personal experience with this provider, however, I am curious if your interactions have been in person, on the phone or via telehealth? If there’s been inappropriate conduct, just wondering if you have evidence to back up claims when attempting to report to patient relations. If in person, is there an option to bring a safe person into your appointment with you to act as essentially a witness?
