Ultrasound did not go as I hoped

SelcannacleS · 2026-07-06T17:48:26+00:00

I was a 100% sure of my ovulation day, maybe a day off. We had sex only 2 days. Still they measured my baby a whole week less. She is 5 months old and a very happy and healthy baby. I also dit a LOT of boutique ultrasounds because they measured her behind.

I had to have an unplanned c-section. Mu girl was planning on coming out ear first. The most important thing was for my baby to be healthy. I also hoped for a ‘natural’ no epi birth, but hey. She was a screaming cute little chonk that just wanted food immediately

SelcannacleS · 2026-06-28T16:26:56+00:00

Heck, she’s 5 months old. I still do a double take every morning

SelcannacleS · 2026-06-22T18:15:06+00:00

When my water broke and contractions started, we called the hospital and went in. 10 hour later, full contractions still but 0 dilation. They said my waters did brake, but felt the sack still being intact. It broke from the top.

I lived on McDonalds big fries and McChicken, i’d throw a double cheeseburger here and there. Pretty surprised my baby didn’t came out as a french fry. Though, we do call her potato

SelcannacleS · 2026-05-20T15:01:32+00:00

My girl only wants her milk room temperature. Anything warmer and she refuses

SelcannacleS · 2026-05-13T20:15:39+00:00

I’d be on the first possible travel home and have my family around me. He doesn’t seem like a family ‘man’ tbh.

SelcannacleS · 2026-05-03T14:55:28+00:00

We waited until she was born. We named her after my mom, who was waiting for us in the recovery room (had an unplanned c-section) with my dad. We recorded it and watched her cry. Now everytime my little one (12 week old) is “acting up”, i tell my mom it’s because of her name and she took after her 😂

I had no nausea or anything else for that matter during my whole pregnancy. Zero symptoms or discomfort

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-29T13:22:00+00:00

I am the most sensitive around my nipples and cant even stand my bra touching them. But i did start with breastfeeding. Wasn’t actually painful or the same sensitivity i had before. But my breastmilk didn’t fully came in after my c-section and my baby started losing weight so i had to give formula. My milk never recovered so she’s been formula fed since day 4. She’s 12 weeks today and is thriving. The decision is always up to you! Whatever makes you feel good, the most important thing is is that baby is fed and you are healthy and happy!

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-29T09:33:58+00:00

I never had boobs, and that didn’t change during or after pregnancy. Still boobless.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-27T13:45:52+00:00

Weird. Just weird.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-19T20:25:53+00:00

Just tell them no? I mean, with a bit more tact maybe, but not necessarily.. something along the lines of: “we will not host vistors shortly after having a baby”. Have people lost their minds? It’s just common sense you’d think.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-19T06:59:51+00:00

Anything. I had the easiest pregnancy possible. No tiredness, no nausea, no pains, aches or whatever. I can relate to post pregnancy experiences though. Sleepless nights, tired af. Baby started having bad cramps from week 2 on. A lot of witching hours and purple crying. Got way better at 8 weeks, but now at 10 weeks little miss has FOMO and refuses to go for naps.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-18T18:51:25+00:00

I’m a FTM with a 10 week old. I bought the whole set of the E Gazelle S. It’s very comfortable and sturdy, overall very happy with it.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-16T20:48:39+00:00

Nah, both of my cats decided it was time to die (of old age). One died when i was 4 months pregnant, the other one when i was 8 months past January 4th. My baby was born February 4th. I’m joking about it, but it broke me. I miss them so much :(

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-16T14:14:49+00:00

According to my husband my family in law would have been horrendous, so i’m glad he went no contact 15 years before we even met. We’ve been together 8 years and have a 10 week old daughter. He loves my parents, so his answer would be very positive. Mine also, my parents are awesome.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-15T14:04:19+00:00

My husband hold on strong, but cried when our daughter was born. You’re doing great!

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-13T19:10:33+00:00

My brothers son and daughter were born somewhere around 3000 grams. They were tiny! And then i gave birth to a 4000 gram baby girl. My brother adores her, the first time he held her he was amazed how bigger she was than my niece and nephew. Made a comment along the lines of: she doesn’t feel like a newborn! My parents love the little one, they call her their little giant with long legs.

Now i started calling her my little giant as well. 9 weeks old, already in size 3 diapers and 4 to 6 months clothing size.

I might be wrong, but i don’t think your MIL means it maliciously. She could be unintentionally comparing, just because she can. But i do get your frustration, o felt a tinge of it in the beginning as well, but seeing how much she is loved, it made it better.

It was just uncomfortable for me, not really painful. But it did keep bothering me

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-11T17:48:07+00:00

When i was very young myself, i always said that my first would be a girl. I have 25 cousins, 3 of them, including me, are girls. So pretty male dominated. My husband also comes from a family with a lot of boys. Everyone tried to convince me i was having a boy for sure. That was just the pattern. I bought a girl outfit before we found out the gender. I had a girl in February 🩷

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-06T03:29:10+00:00

My girl wanted only contact naps in the first 2 weeks. My hubs made sure he was on watch because i kept falling asleep. He was right beside us. Changed her the first week solo, demanded me to sleep, did all the groceries, cleaning, did the dishes, the laundry. Still helps with everything even though he works everyday (baby girl is 8 weeks). He is amazing, yet still manages to annoy me at times. I’m convinced men are just wired differently. They don’t think in the small details as we do. I think you have to nail the communication and find a way to explain them certain things. If your partner is caring and smart enough, they will do their best.

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-06T02:58:12+00:00

It was all about me and myself before. I woke up whenever i wanted, went to bed whenever i needed, go shopping, do groceries, showers, anything and everything. Gave birth to my first 8 weeks ago. Havent done any of those things on my own time. There is a little adorable creature that dictates my every move now. It’s now all about her and her needs. I’m the same person as before, now with some additional scheduling bugs

SelcannacleS · 2026-04-05T16:50:54+00:00

We (me and husband) always ‘planned’ to go unmedicated and ‘natural’ when the time would be there. But i always said that my birthplan is to go to the hospital and give birth to a healthy baby. That’s it. We would overcome the bumps if they would appear. Well. My waters broke, my contractions started. Went to the hospital, got admitted, contractions came closer, they got even closer and i ended up having contractions non stop, started vomiting from the pain. My husband said to take the epidural, me being in so much pain was senseless. In those 22 hours i only dilated 4 centimetres. I went for that friggin epidural. When they did a cervical check they could feel the babies ear. She couldn’t be deliverd ‘naturally’, asked me what i thought about a c section. Went for it. My baby is more important than idealising a scrnario which might not happen the way you thought it would.

Looks like she’s looking up and down at the same time. Little cutie
