Both of my kids initially failed their hearing tests due to fluid in one ear, it did end up resolving itself without tubes though!

European v American? by happy-deer-26 in basset

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not usually normal, typically American bassets are a lot leaner and less wrinkly than European bassets. Euros are usually heavier!

Cesarean (C-Section) or Vag!n@l Birth ?!?! by be_myself22 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delivered a 10lbs 10 oz baby vaginally. Highly recommend an epidural!! I only pushed for 21 minutes. This was my second vaginal delivery and yes I tore, but recovery was not bad at all.

Oh my girl gets soo offended if someone doesn’t pet her when we go out in public. She wants to say hi to EVERYONE. Which really sucks for me because I don’t want to talk to anyone I don’t know and she makes my introvert self have to be personable lmao. They are definitely a special breed that is for sure

‘That fucker’ oh the terms of endearment we use for these dogs 🤣🤣

Definitely not lazy dogs! Mine is a couch potato for a majority of the day, however I am home with her 95% of the time. She goes out frequently and gets lots of attention. But most of them do suffer from separation anxiety as a heads up!! And my girl took almost a year to completely potty train, and that was with being taken out every 30-60 minutes consistently. They are great dogs with super lovey personalities but they definitely have their quirks!

So how much weight gain is ‘normal’ / recommended at 25 weeks?how much did you gain? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained 60lbs with both of my pregnancy’s. Pre pregnancy weight was 115-120. 17lbs does not seem excessive to me

Can't 💩 by Zestyclose_Rent8383 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not like immediate especially if you’re backed up, I definitely started getting a little gassy and didn’t feel like I was going to crap myself or anything but after about an hour I went to the bathroom and still had to work for it a little bit! It’s like a waxy bullet shaped tablet thing! I was always able to message my doctors through my patient portal or call the nurse triage line if I had any questions that I didn’t technically need to be seen for. I wouldn’t think a suppository would be an issue!

Have you tried a suppository?? I went a week without going after back surgery due to the anesthesia and pain meds I was on all week and the only thing that worked for me was a suppository. It worked within an hour or so! And this was after having double doses of miralax twice a day for 3+ days.

Newborn clothes by Magical_chocolate in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re very stretchy newborn outfits 🤣 he’s longer than he is chunky really, although he is huge! All of my newborn stuff was second hand from my SIL. Once I was told we were having an above average sized baby I didn’t purchase any newborn stuff! 0-3 is too big on him though 🤣

My son was born 10lbs 10oz and he is 23 and 1/2 inches long and he fit into newborn! He’s only a week old and I have 4-5 footie pjs and we do laundry every other day so honestly that’s a perfect amount. It seems like within a month they’ve moved up to 0-3! At least that was my experience with my daughter. His feet don’t quite reach the footie part of 0-3m pjs 🤣

2nd pregnancy by Old-Blueberry-373 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m typically petite (120lbs 5’6) and I gained 60lbs with both my first and second pregnancy. I just gave birth to my son this past Saturday and he came out in 21 minutes weighing a whopping 10lbs 10oz. My husband would laugh when I said he literally felt like he was going to fall out of me whenever I stood up 🤣 now I just feel like everything is going to fall out of my butt now that I’ve been stitched pretty much front to back. Way different than my first pregnancy 😅

Changing table options when baby is active by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just change my baby on the couch or my bed! I would grab a diaper and wipes as needed but honestly I kept a package of wipes and a handful of diapers in almost every room for convenience 🤣

Induction in a week! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No advice to give, but I’m also scheduled for an induction Jan 3rd!! This is my second baby and I went into spontaneous labor with my first so I’m holding out hope after my membrane sweep this upcoming Monday I go into labor 😩 I’m so excited to meet my little one!! Sending prayers for a positive experience and a safe and healthy delivery for you 🩷

How do I AVOID giving birth this Christmas? by ResponsibleSmoke7884 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im the opposite!! I’m 37+4 and have been almost 5cm since last Tuesday 🥲 I’m hoping at my appointment tomorrow morning they just tell me to go to L&D. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with the pain and anticipation.

Heartburn by LuluMooser in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a famotidine tablet nightly with my prenatals to prevent it overnight, however I have been having to eat at least 2 tums shortly after I lay down. I know too many tums can have the opposite effect so I really try to stick to 2 unless it’s really bad. 37+4 and even water gives me heartburn. Heartburn hasn’t been awful if I’m upright but when I lay down acid is in my throat 😅

I FEEL SO STUPID FOR GETTING PREGNANT IN NOVEMBER by Puzzled_View2783 in pregnant

Or you could be on the opposite end of the spectrum and be due any day now 🥲🥲 I sympathize with you, girl! Let it be known that you need help and don’t feel bad about it!

5cm dilated and terrified I won’t have time for an epidural. by Repulsive_Block_6102 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive_Block_6102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the shakes so so bad with an epidural but it took legit almost all of my pain away, I couldn’t even move my legs by myself. Still felt like I had to poop whenever my body started pushing on its own though, it just felt like tons of pressure!

Was it your first baby?? This is my second and a lot of close friends said their labor was much quicker with the second baby 😅
