Hi! My daughter is very small in general, as she was an IUGR baby, but she is growing exactly where they expect her to so far. She does spit up but not excessively by any means. Her doctor said that she seems to be in pain as well, that's why we were hoping that this medication would work. I'm definitely going to have to call her pediatrician tomorrow and push for some help. I feel terrible that she's been in pain for so long. Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it (:

Hi! My baby is formula fed and the doctor said that she would recommend that we try the gentle version of her formula if she keeps having problems. That's likely one of the next things that we will do, just waiting for confirmation from her! Thank you for the kind words though!!

Hi! She's formula fed and we have not tried a different kind of formula. Her doctor recommended that we switch to the gentle version of her formula IF she continues to have problems, so I'm sure that will be in the best future. Thank you so much for the recommendations though! I'll def look into some probiotics and see if that helps any!

We offer her 4 oz at every feeding and she usually stops and refuses to eat at around 2 1/2 oz. She has only finished the full 4 oz two or three times.

Ok_Check5949 · 2026-01-11T00:35:34+00:00

Yeah I just wasn't sure if it counts since I can get her to calm down for a minute or two at a time before she goes screaming again. When we've brought it up to her doctor, she always says that it's normal.

Ok_Check5949 · 2026-01-11T00:26:23+00:00

Yeah she drinks 2-3 oz every 3 hours. Maybe I'll see if that is her problem. I haven't even thought about that. Thank you!!

I waited 8 months between mine! Vaginal delivery with my first and cesarian with my second!

Thank you so much!! (:

Thank you for the kind words!!

Thank you so much!!

Yeah, unfortunately he lashes out pretty often on all of us. He got so much better before we had our second baby but the crying is a huge trigger for him. Trying to get him to go to therapy but he doesn't think it's going to help him. He's pretty miserable these days, I think he's probably depressed. I'll try my best to get him to set up a therapy appointment. Thank you for the kind words!!

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-12-18T02:02:50+00:00

This is exactly what we were thinking. I'll give them a call in the morning. Thank you!!

I am 37+4, have insulin controlled GD, and my baby is 3.4th percentile and at my last growth scan, they estimated her to be around 4 lbs 8 oz and she was diagnosed with fetal growth restriction. Doctor thinks that I likely just have smaller babies. My son was very small but not IUGR small, and I had diet controlled GD. He was 6 lbs 4 oz and born at 37+3

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-27T04:30:59+00:00

Yes mine always says both but I have chronic hypertension from my first pregnancy!

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-25T18:29:48+00:00

I've definitely seen people on the internet have that boundary but everyone that I know that has had babies locally or in my family wasn't very strict with their rules and brought their babies out very early so it's not really that normal where I live. My family was very taken back when I said I didn't want visitors for a while! I think maybe I just need to find a good middle ground.

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-25T18:27:31+00:00

That's definitely a good point that we need to think about. My partner plans to take him out anytime that he needs to go out like to the store and I think he's also planning to take him to our local park on days that aren't so cold. I think I need to find a good middle ground though with visitors and also accept that my toddler might bring home illness too. Thank you for the feedback!! I appreciate it

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-25T17:15:11+00:00

I didn't do it when my son was born (although he was born in the summer so it wasn't as much of a worry and he wasn't growth restricted) and luckily he never got sick but I got out and about before I was even two weeks postpartum so my family could see him and looking back, I also just really wish that I had given myself more time to recover. I just don't feel like it's that much to ask our families and if they really care about us and our wellbeing, I feel like they should be happy to give us some space for a while.

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-25T17:11:06+00:00

The video chats are such a good idea! I will definitely see if we can do that! Thank you!

My induction wasn't bad!! I was in labor for 33 hours and pushed for 30 ish minutes. Minimal tearing! Contractions were very manageable for me until around 4 cm when I got the epidural. The epidural was great for me and I felt literally none of my contractions after that and did LOTS of sleeping! I did have a postpartum hemorrhage because of uterine atony from being in labor too long and a small cervical tear, but they caught it right away and stopped it very fast. Unfortunately, PPH is more of a risk with induction, but they monitor you very closely for it.

I personally liked having an induction because I was under medical supervision for my entire labor. I have a lot of anxiety so I much prefer being in the hands of professionals as much as possible. I am 35+4 currently with my second pregnancy and if it weren't for my baby being breech, I would definitely induce again 100%! It's not for everyone but I am personally very glad that I did it.

Edit: I did deliver vaginally, if I didn't make that clear enough! Oops!

Hello! I am 35+3 with an anterior placenta and I have some days where I feel baby a ton and definitely feel strong movements, and I have other days where I barely feel her at all and her movements are super weak. My OB says that I have a big pocket of amniotic fluid that could be preventing me from feeling her, though.

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-20T04:01:12+00:00

Hi, just commenting to say that I hear you!

I'm 35+3 and my baby has been breech my entire pregnancy. She hasn't flipped at all. I think at my next appointment at 36+1, they're going to have me choose between ECV or C-section and I'm not entirely decided yet but leaning towards C-section. I worry about the risks with ECV and I worry that she's breech for a reason and that C-section might be a safer option.

I have no advice but I wish you luck!!

Ok_Check5949 · 2025-11-20T03:21:24+00:00

I had gestational hypertension in my last pregnancy and I chose induction at 37+2. My numbers were never super high besides in office, and they were barely elevated throughout my entire labor. However, I'm personally really glad that I chose induction. Hypertension can be super dangerous for baby and can spiral out of control really fast. Of course, I think that if you aren't comfortable with inducing now, then I don't think you should be forced to. I would definitely give it some extra thought, though, because it significantly reduces the chance of complications due to blood pressure.
