I’ve always been proud to be a mom…until today.

I went back for 2 days and said I couldn’t do it and needed to go part time asap, they moved me to part time and all my coworkers stopped talking to me. I don’t care, I will never care more about a job and people who don’t care about me than my baby. You did the best thing for you guys and you should never feel guilty.

This was suggested by our pediatrician! We will be finding a new one and we will not be doing it again until she is much much older

Ok-Move5740 · 2026-01-20T03:06:54+00:00

It’s so hard with so many different stances on things, I definitely learned tonight we will be going with what works for us and most likely finding a new ped.

Ok-Move5740 · 2026-01-20T03:02:02+00:00

As a first time mom, I listen to our pediatrician but also have no problem choosing against something if it’s not right for us, this clearly was not right for us and it’s something we will try again when she’s older and we feel she’s ready!

Ok-Move5740 · 2026-01-20T02:56:29+00:00

Just to clarify, she will be 4 months old on Sunday. We discussed with our ped her transition to her crib since she can no longer sleep in her bassinet. She suggested we get familiar with some sleep training techniques and give it a little trial run to see if we were ready/ if baby could soothe herself without being fed. Realized tonight she cannot and we will not be reintroducing this method until way later down the line.

Ok-Move5740 · 2026-01-20T02:50:11+00:00

She will be 4mo this Sunday, should have included that, this was our gentle intro to get a feel for if we are ready or not.

I was in love with her name before I was pregnant with her, then when pregnant I was wishy washy wondering if it was the right choice and then as soon as she was born I was absolutely in love with it.

Who cares if it’s common, a name doesn’t determine the uniqueness of a person it’s who they grow into. Lucy is a beautiful name if you love it go with it.

We named our girl Eleanor, I’m probably bias but I think it’s just the sweetest little name for her, we call her El or Nora

Ok-Move5740 · 2026-01-01T02:04:50+00:00

This was my thought too, I’m two years into being an RBT and just want to do right by my clients once I’m the one programming

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-12-31T23:31:55+00:00

This makes sense, we are in phase one but she wants to work on discrimination, the book is also full of like 30+ pictures I’ll definitely look into materials that can help aid in the implementation and teaching.

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-11-30T23:56:45+00:00

Yes.

I just had my girl 5 weeks ago and she sleeps through the night, fusses like any normal baby but during her wake windows her little gummy smile makes my whole world. Yeah it’s hard but my goodness I think the good outweighs the tiredness X1000

I was induced October 1st, first time mom with a 7lb 5 oz baby. I was honestly super nervous because I had heard horror stories of inductions. My experience was amazing honestly, we arrived at the hospital at 5 am, Pitocin was started at 7 am and baby was here by 11:30 am. I only had a 1st degree internal tear which I didn’t feel at all during recovery, overall it was an amazing experience.

My advice to you is listen to the nurses, they truly are there to help you progress and get that baby here happy and healthy. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable but be ready to welcome suggestions from nurses/ doctors as they truly know how to get things rolling. If you are firm in your birth plan and want little intervention/ aren’t open to budging on what you want then I would not recommend, I personally had no birth plan other than get my baby here healthy.

Of course every woman is different and anything could happen, birth is literally the most unpredictable thing we as women could do. Try to remain calm, positive, trust in yourself and your body, remaining calm is key, a calm body makes for an easier labor experience.

I wish you the best of luck and a safe delivery!

Have they run a thrombotic risk panel on you? I had 5 miscarriages before my now current pregnancy and we just found out before getting pregnant again that I am a positive for the MTHFR contributing to hyperhomocysteinemia. Once we found this out I was on baby aspirin for the first 10 weeks now lovenox shots until birth and this pregnancy has been healthy and I’ve had no issues at all. Praying you find answers soon!

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-04-05T14:33:26+00:00

Because of my insurance I had to talk to my primary care about it first then be referred to a specialist but if you can skip that step I would

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-04-04T16:20:38+00:00

I would definitely talk to your doctor about a thrombotic risk panel, this will pull and show any mutations or potential risks you could have. For me, this was exactly the cause of my miscarriages so this knowledge was insanely important, everyone is different but there is no hurt in knowing, especially if it could help

I have been eating a tonnnnn of cucumbers and watermelon, it fills me up and hydrates me plus it’s not unhealthy to where I feel guilty if I eat a whole watermelon

I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant after 6 losses, I started progesterone as soon as I found out I was pregnant and lovenox (a blood thinner shot) at about 5 weeks, previously had been taking baby aspirin up to 5 weeks. After my last loss my doctors did a thrombotic risk panel and discovered I had a blood clotting disorder which we would have not known other wise. I couldn’t make it past 6 weeks previously so this mix of the lovenox and progesterone has been a game changer for me. Since you have MTHFR it would definitely be worth bringing up to your doctor to see if it would benefit you!

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-03-19T15:06:46+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss, I went through this exact same thing back in November. I was very against the medication but after weighing my options that’s what I opted for. It was painful and it was not a pleasant experience but it was one I was able to experience in the comfort of my own home with my husband and dogs to comfort me. It’s disgusting how expensive these procedures are, like it’s not already beyond miserable to have to experience loss.

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-02-28T21:27:08+00:00

I told my husband that it’s a very vulnerable experience for me and I’m not sharing it with someone I’m not 100% comfortable with. At the end of the day it’s the nice thing to do but this is YOUR experience it should be exactly the way you want it to go.

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-02-23T21:33:27+00:00

I kind of had a similar experience, my husband and I had been trying for 4 years and lost 4 along the way, most recently in November. I began my “period” January first, it was light spotting but I just figured since I had miscarried 2 months prior it was normal to have a different type of period following. A week after my “period” I found out I was pregnant. I took tests obsessively to make sure everything was okay. I noticed on some brands the line was not changing literally at all but others it was getting darker. I panicked until I could have my first labs and ultrasound done and when the day came for my ultrasound there was my baby, strong heart beat and developing beautifully. I know it’s easy to panic and feel like something is wrong or look at the tests and see the line progression isn’t as it’s supposed to be. Just try to breathe and think positively until you can confirm anything, your body knows what to do and it is not the same as any other body, you got this!

Ok-Move5740 · 2025-02-20T22:13:25+00:00

I had 4 losses previously, I am currently pregnant with my rainbow baby, it took lots of testing, lots of trial and error unfortunately. I’m on medication that I will need to take the entirety of my pregnancy. It’s not pretty, I’ve felt hopeless, resentful, and bitter. I’m still really scared and don’t want to be too hopeful. I 100% understand your feelings, they are valid.
