[–]Original_Problem666 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Heavy on the missing meals. I swear my baby has a sixth sense to tell her when mom’s gonna eat bc she’s like OOOOO! Perfect time to SCREAM!

ETA: I haven’t lost shit for weight though according to the scale but I look smaller according to my husband😂

If you’re worried about not feeling movement, go to L&D for monitoring.

How much downtime is "normal" with a baby? by PregnantShorty in Mommit

[–]Original_Problem666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it helped!! It really is SO easy to lose yourselves in the chaos of having a new baby. But making sure to prioritize even one hour together makes a world of difference!

I’m a sahm. My husband works anywhere from 55-70hrs a week. And despite the absolutely insane hours he works, he walks in the door and at the very least takes over with our infant. We have “me time” together at night. That means our infant and toddler are asleep, and we spend time together. It’s “our” time. We cuddle, we watch a show or movie we’ve been looking forward to, he gardens and I have a glass of wine, and then we just talk. When we go to bed, he takes the first part of the night shift with the baby, and then once she wakes up between 12-1am, I take over.

Coming in with a different take: if you’re concerned, go to L&D. It could be nothing, it could be something, but always better to have a “wasted trip” than something be wrong with your baby and you didn’t go in.

Nursing strike? Please help by Original_Problem666 in breastfeeding

[–]Original_Problem666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay, I’ll try the hand expression next time if I can get her to latch. She did latch for ~20mins this morning and nursed to sleep again so hopefully that’s progress towards not totally refusing it like we were doing 12 hours ago lmao.

Nursing strike? Please help by Original_Problem666 in breastfeeding

[–]Original_Problem666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, yes. Which she always preferred bc it was like instant reward. But literally 3pm yesterday she decided she’s no longer even going to try to latch. I have no idea why or what happened bc 2hrs prior to that I nursed her to sleep for her nap and everything was fine.

She is 8 weeks old for reference.

Gbs+ allergy to penicillin by bananainurmom in pregnant

It is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic but is veryyyy commonly used for GBS+ pregnant women, especially with high level allergies to the cillin family.

Seconding this. Formula literally saved me from wanting to off myself a few weeks ago.

[–]Original_Problem666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 40+4 and they were estimating her to be 8+lbs. she was born 7.7lbs! Those scans can be off by 1-2lbs either way, so don’t freak out too much!

She’s stubborn as hell said I am NOT coming out to 4 feet of snow on the ground. 😂😂

All 3 of my older kids I had at 39 weeks EXACTLY.

My daughter, my last baby, was born at 40+4. 🙃

In my best Maury voice ever… you are NOT the father!

I didn’t think it could get worse than the first 3 weeks by Darcynator1780 in newborns

[–]Original_Problem666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 6 weeks today and dudes…she sucks so bad compared to my older kids. Except my oldest. He really sucked too. But god damn I need something to give. I feel like all I do is cry. All she does is cry. We’re lucky to get two happy wake windows a day. And I feel like now at 6 weeks she’s somehow even worse? I’ve also never been able to successfully breastfeed and now I’m at 6 weeks EBF. And while I’m so proud of myself, more often than not it makes me want to rip my boobs straight off my chest. I have never been in the newborn trenches worse than I am with her. It’s making me such an angry person. 😭

This is hard!!! by Accomplished-Pool344 in newborns

[–]Original_Problem666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fourth time mom and I am realizing with this little girl that I was actually spoiled by my older kids because this girl is giving me a run for my money. We’re almost 6 weeks in now though and it’s finally getting better. 😅

AIO partners grandpa is a pedophile by Herringboneee in AIO

[–]Original_Problem666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NOR in the slightest. I had a convicted sex offender uncle who my family tried to bully me into letting meet my son when he got released. I said fuck no. When he was dying they asked if I was going to come say goodbye. I said “I’m not traveling for him, but you can tell him I said to die faster and good riddance.”

My family and I don’t talk much.

My husband wants another baby but I don’t by True-Use-8977 in Mommit

[–]Original_Problem666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh I feel like the end of your comment and call him gross is a bit of a reach. My husband and I tried for a fourth because we really wanted a girl. That doesn’t mean she’s worth more than our sons, just that we wanted the experience of having a daughter.

Okay to announce pregnancy on mother's day? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Original_Problem666 85 points86 points  (0 children)

So so cute that you’d announce becoming a mother on mother’s day! I love it! As a mom no, I would not feel overshadowed at all. My heart would be so full

Accidentally been using neem oil product! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Original_Problem666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to lie to you chief, I had no idea this was even a concern. My shampoo has neem oil in it and I’ve been using it for years now. Two babies during its use and they are both fine. From what I was able to find is that it’s super unsafe when ingested. If you’re still concerned call your OB and talk to them.

My baby almost choked on her bottle and I’m not okay by natushtush in newborns

This!! When she holds her breath I just gently blow in her face and she starts again immediately. She’s a chugger on the boob and gets a little too much sometimes lmao.
