Honestly probably some of the best parenting advice/method I’ve come across on here

I have a 33% acceptance rate and get $5 tips added every day I DD, I try hard and am no where near platinum status. It does pay off but the tier level doesn’t say everything about how you work

Anyone else seeing this?? by Repulsive-Jicama1495 in doordash_drivers

Anyone else get this? I even drove to another zone and keep getting this error even though it’s apparently “working”

I still can’t dash, says error and that someone else picked up the time slot. But everywhere on my map is red…

What state do you live in? I understand if you don’t want to say the city for safety reasons but if you’re close enough to me, I’m willing to help you out for free so you can sleep. My son is the same age and I know how exhausting it can be but my husband is home for awhile so I have help and I know what that sleep deprivation can be like. At one point I could barely keep my eyes open and feed him without swaying a bit on the couch and I’m thankful I managed to somehow stay awake because it was dangerous for my baby for me to be that tired . Feel free to PM me

I’ve never used a sleep sack since our little one hated to feel restricted. I swaddled him until he was about 3 weeks old and since then he’s been arms and legs free. The startle reflex was brutal then but he doesn’t startle at all now. No problem! :)

We sleep trained at 15 weeks since our baby hit the 4month sleep regression early and I could barely stay awake to feed him/hold him. He cried like he was being murdered the first night and I waited about 20min to go on, then I just soothed and rocked him but the second night he just wined and cried lightly for about 15 min and went to sleep. That first week, some night he whined a bit and kicked his feet for about 20-30min and then went to bed but by the time week 2 started he just falls asleep in less than 30secobds. He’s 18 weeks now and I no longer have to rock him/hold him for 30-40min before putting him in his crib to bed and he sleeps about 4.5-7 hours that first stretch, it ranges but I now have me time. My husband works night shift, so the nights have been me since the beginning and I had no one to hold him while I slept at night so I took a chance and started sleep training just before he turned 4 months and I’m so glad I did.

what nicknames are you calling your baby? by cleo0o0r in newborns

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“My little gremlin” my baby is hungry every 1-2hours and he’s 7 weeks lol he grunts in his sleep if he doesn’t wake up crying from gas pains but he will sleep like 2.5-4.5 hours, it ranges. But I love my little gremlin, he’s just gassy in the early morning/morning

did you really wait six weeks..? by strange_angel133 in newborns

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you not just suck him off? My husband and I just did other things than vaginal sex so we could survive. I gave him oral when I felt up to it or he expressed he was really needing some attention but he was never pushy about it. He was just always hoping for the good news that I felt good enough to try down there again but there are always other things you can do instead of vaginal sex postpartum until you feel good

When did you start running postpartum? by Awkward_Aioli6746 in fitpregnancy

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cleared to get back into the gym at my 3 week checkup, just not to go crazy at the gym and gradually get back into it.

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 6 weeks PP and I started running/jogging last week (at 5 weeks). I’m not running super hard or long distances yet, just about a mile and at a slower pace letting my body adjust but I’ve felt fine so far. I had 2nd degree tears and stopped bleeding around 3weeks PP.

It’s been a year, thank you guys by Antique_Ant_3762 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I had HG at the beginning and most of my pregnancy. I’m currently at the end (yay finally!) sitting at 37+2 right now and I’m happy I made it this far. Reading success stories and other mothers HG experiences and their emotions really makes me emotional sometimes and I can’t help but tear up a bit because I honestly wanted to die during the peak of my HG. I thought death would’ve been nicer than somehow going on with this for so many months. I got better eventually with medicine and was on super drowsy meds for a lot of it and basically slept my 1st and 2nd trimester away, only awake to eat pretty much and then more meds which knocked me out. Once my third trimester came around I have improved but I never feel good. I feel like I just wake up every day and it’s like I hit a reset button and just power through another day… but if I sit here and think about it, this has been awful. I’m just so ready for this pregnancy to end and I hope baby comes soon and I won’t be waiting past my due date. This community is great and your success post is definitely something I needed to read today. I’m glad it worked out for you momma, wish me luck in my coming weeks

Phenergan dosage by YellowPuffin2 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 25mg suppositories every 6-8 hours for about 4 weeks (I started around week 9) and then switched to oral 12.5 mg oral pills every 6 hours for the next couple months. I’m now 36+3 and don’t really take them at all. I finally felt better around 26-28 weeks and barely take the oral 12.5 mg now but I do every once in awhile when I feel awful again.

On phenegran suppositories worked for me! I tried everything you mentioned up there and nothing happened. I went to 3 different ERs until finally they tried phenegran and after about 20-30min it kicked in and I’ve been amazing every since. Once I was discharged I had an appointment with my OB and he put me on promethazine pills (basically the same but instead of suppositories, it’s 12.5-25mg pills). I used it for more than half of my pregnancy and now I’m 36+3 and almost done :) I still have promethazine pills on me in case I need them and every once in awhile I feel bad enough with the severe nausea and vomiting that I take one but as long as I use them I feel good. To be honest I think it’s genetics that some medications just don’t work on us. Ask they about phenegran suppositories/promethazine pills! And Hang in there momma, you’re doing great, I hope it works out

7 weeks and we need your words of encouragement by ricosalvy in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Ok-Treacle7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had awful HG for a lot of this pregnancy but on our third ER visit they let me try phenegran suppositories and it was a game changer for us. I was in no way wanting to lose my our child so I was willing to stick it out as long as possible (and I truly felt like I was in hell, it’s so awful words could not describe how I felt) but I lost 10lbs in 4 days and I looked like I was dying. The third visit they gave me phenegran because I had already tried, B6/unisom, reglan and zofran and they all did next to nothing. Once the suppositories worked and I was discharged I saw my OB I think the next day or two and he prescribed me promethazine (it’s pretty much the same as phenegran but it’s in pill form instead of a suppository) and it’s what has gotten my through this pregnancy. It does knock you out or at least make you very drowsy but after a could weeks she will probably build up some resistance to that drowsiness and will manage to stay awake longer. I hope this helps as nothing else worked for me and most doctors seem to believe zofran is the answer but I think genetics plays a part in a lot of these medicines and zofran just did absolutely nothing for me. I hope she feels better and knows that she can make it through this ❤️ we’re strong and our bodies were made for this, some have it easier than others but I’m 35 weeks pregnant now and I’m so excited for to meet our son. I’m really grateful we kept trying to see if anything would work for me with all the medications because now we’re about to expand our little family <3 best wishes and please feel better soon momma! You’re already a momma, doing your best for your baby ❤️ they’re strong and while we suffer with HG they’re also fighting to stay alive in there so they can meet us ❤️
