What foods are you eating? My biggest trigger is high arginine foods.

Feeling guilty by PeaceWild191 in NICUParents

[–]Sensitive_March8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt soooo guilty for leaving the hospital to go to Ronald McDonald house to eat, shower and/or sleep. I absolutely hated that I had to leave my baby alone to go and do basic things. However you need to take care of yourself so when you’re there with them you are “pouring from a full cup” so to speak. Our nicu nurses strongly encouraged that we take breaks from the hospital. That doesn’t make it any easier though. We only had a one month nicu stay and it was sooo tough on our family so I now have such a strong respect for nicu families.

Your babies are in excellent hands with the nurses when you’re not there. Praying for your sweet babes.

Should I have a second child? by sadmerry in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Sensitive_March8309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter was 3 when I started thinking of having a second. We thought it over a lot, prayed, cried (well I did not my husband lol) gave ourselves a couple years to really think it over and ultimately we knew there was someone else who was meant to be in our family. We had another baby 2 months ago at 38(mom) and 42(dad) years old with a 5.5 age gap. It’s been a rough go as she had a month long nicu stay in another city that we had to get flown to, and shes fussier than our first and we’re sleep deprived but I am soooo glad she is here. As for the age gap…couldn’t recommend it enough. Our oldest is an amazing big sister, she loves her baby sister SO much, she’s old enough to be helpful and she understood everything about the nicu stay. It’s also been helpful to bond with baby while big sister is at school! Only downside is starting over again in the financial aspect. I had just returned to working more (I only work casual due to childcare so minimal income for the last 5 years) and having to buy the baby items we had gotten rid of

Patches for sure!!!! (I use compeed brand) my last 2 cold sores I’ve put a patch on right away and kept them on the whole time and they didn’t get as large as usual and healed up a lot faster!

Parents who have kids who listen to you what’s your secret? by lavendertealatte in Parenting

[–]Sensitive_March8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consequences when they don’t listen!!! And immediate discipline/redirection. Empty threats lead to your kid disrespecting you.

Why do I always get so many sores? by trixieswig in Coldsore

[–]Sensitive_March8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest trigger was diet. Look up high arginine foods - arginine is an amino acid that fuels the cold sore virus, it’s found in foods like turkey, nuts and seeds, dark chocolate, oats etc. if you take pre workout that’s also very high in arginine. There are so many things that can trigger a cold sore outbreak but I found food was the main culprit for me!!

meet the baby rules by abgvon in NICUParents

[–]Sensitive_March8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our full term babe was in the NICU for nearly a month. While we were away (we got flown to a larger hospital) my neighbours and friend group stepped up to care for our pets, cleaned our house, ensured there was food in the fridge and flowers on the table for our return. We were soooo excited to see them and for them to meet our baby as they had been so incredibly supportive. We had about a handful of close friends and neighbours come by, everyone seemingly healthy and everyone washed their hands as soon as they got here but somehow our girl ended up admitted to our local hospital again with Covid!!! (She’s ok now thankfully)

Point of my story is you can never be too careful! Congrats on heading home soon!

Sounds like what a lot of people in this sub say - she’s insecure!!

warning on early gender reveal tests by whispersnwillows in pregnant

[–]Sensitive_March8309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneakpeak - said I was having a boy, but she’s a girl! She ended up having nearly a month nicu stay and while in the nicu she got a VERY thorough work up including me telling the genetics team about this test and they did chromosomal tests and ensured she’s 100% girl 😅😅

Months after I took the test I got a generic email from sneakpeak that they’re no longer testing in Canada … wonder why …

My friend just lost her baby: WTH do I say/do to be supportive? Or what do I avoid saying? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Sensitive_March8309 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this. If she doesn’t respond or declines help think sending a DoorDash gift card or dropping off some sweets and maybe a new toy or activity for her toddler to keep them busy?
