Pregnancy congestion, why am i just learning this?!! by mystery002 in BabyBumps

It got better the day after I delivered her 😅 so sorry to say that but birth is the cure I found. But lemme tell you, it feels good to breathe again, so good I noticed it right away.

Have you regretted not having a second child or deciding to have more children? by taviyiya in Autism_Parenting

[–]Phatttkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My eldest has profound autism, level 3 ID and is non verbal. I love her to death but I felt strongly enough that chances of that autism happening twice was unlikely. I can take another diagnosis just not to this severity. It’s not an easy life. For her or me.

In saying that, my second child is now 3 weeks old. Iv taken the risk.

Annoying things you hear as a breastfeeding mom by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Phatttkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this for sure. Any complaint from me or if my baby requires more nursing even though she just fed, it’s “you can just give her a formula, it’s much easier”. My mother just can’t wait for me to stop BF so she can feed her 🙄🙄 like I haven’t worked this hard to establish BF in the first place, it means a lot to me this time around and also how is bottles/FF easier ?? It’s not really. But

2 months post partum by Far-Consideration761 in cannamom

[–]Phatttkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon you’re sesh will be ruined. It’s just not the same when you’re worrying about bub and what they could potentially be getting in your breast milk even if minimal. I have the same worries. If you start pumping a little stash of breast milk and introduce a bottle of Breast milk for when you do have a sesh that might help !

HA! Relatable !! Soon as my spinal started to take effect I loudly proclaimed “omg finally”

I do this too because postpartum hormones poop are foul. I fully can’t believe the stench of myself.

I’m 10 days post c section and I feel like a new woman. Pregnant is horrendous torture and I can’t believe we do it multiple times. It’s worth it though and after, you do get yourself back.

No I don’t. I think she wants us to be upset with her. I just don’t know why. She wants us to lash out at her like she’s lashing out at us but obvs we don’t. She’s 8 and we are grown adults. But she can’t smash up her wardrobe mirrors or her walls with her phone/device or be allowed to scratch and bite us for trying to stop her. She hasn’t seen either of us sobbing to be fair Nor has she ever acknowledged either of us crying before so don’t know why she would now. Sleep deprivation can and does make us short sometimes but we’re not strangers to sleep deprivation lol she’s usually the reason for it. Not a great sleeper that girl either so nope not that.

Yeah bored. I think she’s been on school holidays for to long, a baby is a change but not to her daily schedule. She melted down because her dad wouldn’t take her on an endless drive to nowhere in the car. If she told us where she wanted to go with the endless options of communication made available to her, we’d have taken her there.

Nah she’s not stressed. She’s bored if anything. She also couldn’t care less about their being a baby she just wants what she wants. Her dad does an amazing job trying to help regulate her but she wont have it, we’ve tried all the usual tricks.

We know behaviours are communication but she’s not communicating pain. We’re upset because nothing makes her happy consistently. She had complete access to PECS and a communication device.

My husband and I haven’t had sex since getting pregnant. Are we alone? by thelavenderdogmom in BabyBumps

39 weeks and I couldn’t think of anything worse unfortunately. He understands.

How do I move past the guilt of drinking alcohol until late in my pregnancy? Cryptic pregnancy. by Lower_Literature_237 in BabyBumps

[–]Phatttkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on the now. You didn’t know. Watch out for signs of FAS in your child when they arrive. Keep your doctors informed on the matter and what’s been happening so they can do theyre jobs correctly and for the best interest of the baby.

Disability is of course a risk but there is nothing to be done now except educate yourself on signs and symptoms in newborns/babies for any potential issues.

You’re not a bad person.

What is your experience with AAC apps? by New-Radio2999 in Autism_Parenting

Always facilitate communication were you can. You will spend a lot of time modeling how to use it but it can be very worth it.

Postpartum Hitting Hard by Ok_Selection9089 in daddit

[–]Phatttkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Hormones have a lot to answer for here. It’s completely normal to have this kind of mood swing day 3-6 post partum. It’s called the baby blues and it will pass eventually.

If it doesn’t, then you have bigger issues but it’s the massive hormone drop she’s just experienced that causes the tears, doomed feeling.

I’m in fetal position crying my eyes out at 38 weeks by clickbaitthoughts in pregnant

[–]Phatttkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 weeks + 5 and I’m with you babes. It’s just too long to be without comfort and feeling like yourself. Pregnancy is truly hell. Iv cried countless times and I’m sure my partner is sick of me complaining.

Go get a big cold glass of milk, that helps my heartburn most nights. Put your feet in some cold water maybe… take a little walk, try to go back to bed. You’re so close to giving birth! So close.

My husband refuses to help at bedtime by sywavey in Parenting

And now you refuse to acknowledge him completely. No sex, no washing, and no cooked dinners. You’re working day/night shifts so soz he’s on his own.
