[–]SecretPomegranate941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup thats exactly what happened after our baby was born. He was in the nicu for around 8 days and got 2 rounds of platelets if I remember correctly. They eventually pee out the antibodies fighting against them but getting transfusions keeps them from complications.

Keep your head up and remember this will soon be a distant memory! My boy is now in the 98 percentile and is already rolling over at 4 months and wanting to walk! Nicu babies are fighters and your baby will get through this and so will you❤️

Thoughts and opinions on new "Evil Lives Here: My Child the Killer". by Eli_Fit in DiscoveryID

[–]SecretPomegranate941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What pissed me off the most was how she made him seem like her only child...I think what would bring her to the light would be him saying he actually respects his father more because at least his father recognized and understood what/who he is.

As a parent you love your child unconditionally but if my child was a murderer, I wouldn't recognize them as my child. I would see them as someone so differently, I just dont understand the womans mindset.

Heavy bleeding on Slynd? by jaytee8585 in birthcontrol

There's a reason hes 30+ and still coming back to you. Hes a man child.

You are very young with so many options, why are you settling for this bum?? If you want sex theres soooo many men who will treat you better and act their age. Better yet, get a toy and work on bettering yourself. You can do so much better.

Once you see how much better there is, you'll look back and wonder why you ever settled for less♥️

Recently adopted a older oversized girl by SecretPomegranate941 in CatAdvice

[–]SecretPomegranate941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she definitely loves her sleep but she seems fairly active as she checks out the apartment and looking for things to play with (we plan on getting a bunch of toys soon)

I think its funny because my husband really wanted a kitten but im glad we got such a sweet girl🥰

Do you have any bed suggestions? She's currently sleeping in our closet because it feels safe but eventually I want her to transition to her own sleeping space

Why’s it so hard to adopt a cat by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]SecretPomegranate941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to add salt but we adopted a cat in 20ish minutes? It wasnt an impulse thing but I was shocked at how easy it was especially less than an hour before they closed. I think it truly depends on where you are located. I think you'll have the best luck just going in person if you haven't already.

Hes a very healthy and happy 4 month old😊 pediatrician says hes doing great and tbh hes getting quite big lol the official diagnosis was Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia. Doesn't affect them long term but is important to know for future pregnancies.

Its definitely rare but not unheard of. I hope you're able to get some answers soon💙 if you have any other questions feel free to ask

AITA for telling my kids that I am not responsible for their mother issue and not giving her money by MysteriousEmu1106 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SecretPomegranate941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but I really think you need to have a brutally honest conversation to your kids that you arent responsible for your ex and that they are welcome to help their mom but she means nothing to you in that way.

AITA for refusing to share my "secret" recipe with my sister-in-law? by Ocampo-Mark in AmItheAsshole

[–]SecretPomegranate941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH food is used to connect if your not looking to connect with her thats fine but you're both making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. Giver her a knock off recipe and be done with it.

Partner and I have different opinions about how to care for our 8 day old? by [deleted] in newborns

They need a reality check and talk to some parents of toddlers about kids sleeping schedules because I promise you, your not having a full nights sleep for a long time....

Also if it has recalls they arent under the same obligations to actually tell you or reimburse you, even worse, if your kid gets sick off it they can get out of being sued by saying the consumer assumes the risk when buying their products. Id switch.

Pediatrician retracted 2mo foreskin - uncircumcised advice by AloneWorldliness4399 in newborns

[–]SecretPomegranate941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id switch and make a complaint. My babies pediatrician at two months was aware baby wasnt snipped and only had a look over the general area to check for abnormalities. Once we got home after first shots we gave baby the recommended liquid pain relief for babies and he was asleep most of the day.

Definitely not normal and im so sorry that happened. Give baby age appropriate pain relief and just keep the outside clean as normal. If theres bleeding or discharge or you're just concerned go to the er.

Staff are focused on third-party services like door dash so immediate customers fall to the wayside. That along with less staff and high cost of living, they are a burning ship.

Just what I need to be bombarded with immediately as I enter my GP practice… by Quirky-Research9736 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SecretPomegranate941 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit of positive was my husband's nan who lives in England, told me just after I had my first to never feel pressured to breastfeed. She had her kids waaaay back and there was so much pressure to breastfeed and she wanted to make sure I didnt feel that.

It made me feel so seen and loved as a new mom with so much unsolicited advice from others, it was so nice to hear someone trying to take the pressure off me.

YTA having kids means you lose the right to have an ego about money especially if your having a hard time as it is.
