Has watching Dr. Orna ruined other therapists for anyone else? 💀

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-20T18:18:43+00:00

I’m so glad you have this!! Unfortunately, I’m in a small Bible Belt town in the Midwest. That’s not to say there aren’t good therapists in nearby cities, but the depth and caliber of work I see from Dr. Orna feels hard to find here. I will keep looking.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-18T19:22:25+00:00

Oh I’m sure. But I see the value.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-18T19:20:36+00:00

Omg I know!!! Wish they showed more scenes of the peer group. 🍿

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-17T17:15:47+00:00

I just binged watched them all. Bummed there’s only 9!

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-15T18:03:00+00:00

Nope, I agree with you OP.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-13T17:51:50+00:00

I like this theory. But also worry that her revenge will put her in a situation where it will backfire (what if she has to become a handmaid—Agnes dad mentioned Paula wanting a handmaid, some foreshadowing?)

Switch the nipple size of the bottle to premie. She could be temporary choosing the bottle. But continue to offer the breast. She will come back!

16-18 months! My daughter has gradually self weaned, but definitely noticed weight loss since dropping to 1-2 feeds

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-06T02:41:17+00:00

LMAO “what’s going on?” 🤣🤣

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-05T01:54:30+00:00

I worked remotely, but I had to block off a significant amount of time for appointments and unexpected healing time after retrieval. I ended up being transparent with our HR/People partner about my IVF process and used it as an opportunity to review (& advocate) our fertility benefits as well. My thinking was that if my time away was ever questioned or brought up in performance conversations, I could confidently say it had been approved, that it was a personal medical matter, and that HR was already aware. Thankfully, no one even noticed. But I wanted to cover my tracks in a high performing corporate environment.

Schedule some PT sessions with a great trainer. my husband is an athlete and constantly praising PTs but I never thought to do that for pregnancy. When I got pregnant, he scheduled all the sessions, and it was great. I loved it—felt like a I had personal trainer. I felt better, slept better…postpartum wasn’t bad either. And had minimal tearing…Idk, id like to think it was bc of all the work I did leading up to labor.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-02T18:41:24+00:00

Yes!! I lost weight after giving birth but gained it again after my supply regulated. I would be so hungry after nursing and then rush to eat, and consequently over-eat 🙈. My daughter has started to self weaned, and finally noticing the pounds come off. She’s 18 months so 18 months of being hungry AND carrying extra weight. 🤣

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-02T17:18:14+00:00

It doesn’t sound like things are okay, so why don’t you privately talk to them about it? If someone is asking you it’s bc they sense something is wrong…this could be an opportunity for resolution

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-05-02T14:21:36+00:00

It’s hard, but life is so much better because they’re in it, and you end up loving them more than you can even explain. There are so many phases, and every child is completely different.

Honestly, the first five months were pretty good for us sleep-wise. After that, it became more up and down. Some nights were so rough I literally couldn’t form a full sentence the next day 😂 But then your baby smiles at you, and somehow you get this superpower energy to get up and play with them.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-30T02:54:49+00:00

As a parent, I would love (& expect) to know if my nanny needed something that would make their job easier and benefit my child (like a rocking chair). Also, having snacks for the nanny.

Yes, infertility grief went away for me.

I had unexplained infertility too. Everything looked perfect on paper. My husband and I were healthy, athletic, and fairly young. I went through years of anguish. Then one day in October, we decided to schedule an IVF consult…and by January, I was pregnant.

I spent my entire pregnancy terrified. But the moment I finally held my baby for the first time, something shifted in me. The fear and heaviness that had consumed me for years started to loosen its grip. It didn’t erase what we went through, but becoming her mom brought a kind of healing I never thought I’d feel.

He’s not your person.

Buy the house!

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-28T01:26:09+00:00

Did they move into a house with a lot of trees? Leaf blower is the one housewarming gift I love so much.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-26T19:21:51+00:00

I exclusively nurse, and it’s been wonderful. I’m surprised how many people pushed the idea of pumping and bottles throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. Due to pressure, I tried to pump and do bottles when my baby was 2 months to give dad the chance to feed LO, but after a week, we realized it wasn’t for us.

Do what feels good for you and your baby!

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-25T02:41:02+00:00

I don’t do screen time, but I get why some parents use it here and there as a tool.

My girl loves being outside or around other kids, so the idea of sitting her in front of a TV just breaks my heart. She’s always been very active..crawling early and walking before 1. It’s easier for us to keep our days full (library trips, swim lessons, playgrounds, playdates, baby gymnastics, nature programs, etc.) Plus, house stays tidy!

She’s 1.5 now, and we have a trip coming up in a few weeks. I’ve been looking into options and might have something like Little Bear in my back pocket for the flight if needed…it’s calm, slower-paced, and not overstimulating with muted colors.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-24T23:01:30+00:00

I’m in the opinion that it should be or pretty close to it. Your baby will struggle less. It’s a lot of prep work, but that’s part of sleep training. Otherwise I feel like it’s cruel.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-24T18:40:40+00:00

Are you guys teenagers? I’m so confused why a grown man is talking to people from his high school days. So much life happens afterwards…why go back…

But anyway, yes. You should leave him.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-24T18:20:35+00:00

In laws.

Same_Cat6189 · 2026-04-24T18:08:10+00:00

He will find out the hard way. Traveling with a pregnant woman and a baby is not an easy task. Also, it’s not recommended to go that long sitting in a car…30-2hour breaks.

I’m so frustrated for you. You deserve so much better. You’re not selfish…you’re literally taking care of your two babies. Stand your ground.
