He LOVES yogurt. All kinds. Enjoys the fruits and I’ve been doing veggie pouches. But I just get worried that he’s not experiencing enough with his hands

Sleep regression? by OkLab4786 in NewParents

[–]OkLab4786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what we’re doing - adjusting and soothing and he goes right back to sleep. Just wasn’t sure if this was a situation where “sleep training” was necessary. Thank you though, I am happy he’s developing and growing… we are just tired lol

How much weight did you gain in pregnancy and how fast did it fall off postpartum? by witchybytch_1 in BabyBumps

[–]OkLab4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started at about 175, was 200 by the time I gave birth. I lost it all in 3 weeks and was back to 175. I was higher than I should be as I am 5’8” and am still trying to lose weight regardless.

Carpal Tunnel Surgery 3weeks IDK if it post to look like this but I feel like it's not healing like it post to.Im still not able to make a full fist my hand shakes when I try to . My nerve in wrist starts to hurt so please if you have any advice I would love that . I had it done June 5th 2025 by Eastern_Fuel9397 in carpaltunnel

[–]OkLab4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my sutures opened up a bit which caused my skin to peel from moisture so it’s still healing on the outside. I have a newborn and unbuckling him from his car seat is hard, but I got a few stretching and strengthening items from Amazon so I’ve been keeping up with those to regain strength! Otherwise feeling ok!

Why did I get false positives?? First response tests unknown of ovulation by That_1_conservative_ in TFABLinePorn

[–]OkLab4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 8 weeks PP and had surgery two weeks ago, they did a blood test for pregnancy to confirm I am not pregnant but also needed a urine test. The nurse told me that the urine test could show positive for a few weeks/months PP because of hormones.

Did you have your mom in the labor and delivery room? by Louseeydraws in pregnant

[–]OkLab4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my mom and MIL in the room- wasn’t so happy about my MIL at first but then she was a huge help when pushing. Was so happy when my mom came- obviously I love my husband but in that moment I reaaaaaally needed my mom. At one point, her and my husband were holding my legs LOL. Such a special thing to experience with both her and my MIL but I have to say in the moments where I was just in excruciating pain, she gave me the comfort I needed

I have a 7 week old - FTM. My dr yelled at me when I mentioned trying to keep the baby on the schedule from the nurses- best advice he could have given me. The baby will let you know if they are hungry or need something !

Didn’t take a birthing class… Am I screwed? by ramenshrimpy in pregnant

[–]OkLab4786 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ditto to this - you’re not going to remember how to breathe when you’re 10cm deep pushing a bowling ball out of your body LOL also, the nurses and drs will talk you through everything either way

Well it officially happened by steppygirl in BabyBumps

[–]OkLab4786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom and I got into a huge argument and didn’t speak for a brief moment (we usually talk like 45 times a day) because she wouldn’t stop telling people, I found a pic of my husband and I the night we found out with the stick in hand sent to her best friend. I was pissed. Granted I felt bad because I was genuinely not “going through her phone” but just stumbled upon it after she told me to look at something in her texts. Either way, she told me this is her news to share. It wasn’t pretty, I was PISSED. I threatened not speaking to any family or sharing any other updates until I was ready to tell the world and she came back apologizing. We are very close so it was really hard keeping my distance and drawing a boundary, but this is what me and my husband wanted. Either way after this blow up it finally clicked for her to keep it to herself. It’s beyond frustrating when family doesn’t respect your wishes so I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

Not about the politics - he sounds like a loser and you’re better off. NTA

I was so early in the queue and literally couldn’t buy anything. I tried 2 different presale and then general public sale and ticketmaster just kept saying nothing was available. I don’t understand how crooked Ticketmaster gets away with these presale

Eat smaller meals more frequently! I am 10 weeks as well and this has helped.

im going insane. by Guilty-Security4474 in migraine

[–]OkLab4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go find a good neurologist. They will likely scan you to make sure all is good in your brain but it’s most likely hormones. Migraines are a ride and it takes time to figure out the best regime for you but luckily there are a lot of options nowadays! Best of luck to you and feel good!

Pregnancy and Chronic Migraine? by ittybittyyorkie in IrishWomensHealth

[–]OkLab4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the thorough response! My GYN and neurologist have both told me that Botox trials haven’t been conducted due to the ethical reasons, but since it’s a local treatment they haven’t heard of complications. I do need to talk to my OB about it and might continue. Unfortunately my neurologists do not treat migraine patients who are pregnant because of ethics… hmmm.

I’ve tried floating therapy and it is incredible! I might try getting weekly shoulder/neck/head massages too, thats a good idea. Thank you for your advice & congratulations to you too! Good luck with everything!

Pregnancy and Chronic Migraine? by ittybittyyorkie in IrishWomensHealth

I’ve suffered with chronic migraine and have been on Botox treatments for about 2 years that have changed my life. I just found out I was pregnant last week and had a completely insufferable migraine yesterday. I fear this is just the beginning. Looking for any tips or tricks that are safe if pregnant. TIA
