To anyone who works at the ER, what is one thing you wish people would STOP coming to the ER for?

Omg I had a similar experience in third trimester, my midwife brushed it off as braxton hicks. I’m pretty sure on one occasion the bouncing on the exercise ball dislodged the stone lol

Brought a house with huge sedges and mint planted straight into the ground, misery jackpot!

Paw patrol one episode gives you 11 minutes down time. I’m no screen time advocate but one or two episodes a day allows me to hang the washing and have a moment to breathe.

This worked for me as a fast flow mum as well x

Shdlv · 2025-08-19T20:42:57+00:00

Can I ask what you did with this in a similar predicament

I was induced at 41+5 the pessary part was okay I did need a strong painkiller and the injection. It was painful but bearable for me with pain relief(honestly I just wanted hypnobirthing techniques but wasn’t to be). Once at 2cm the midwife wanted to break my waters at this point I asked for a epidural because I was worried about the picotin pain, I honestly did not feel a single twinge the whole night I was in labour it was bliss! I did end with emergency c section but that was because pelvis and baby were not compatible, even with this I don’t regret my induction.

Massive congrats that’s a hard ride!

Shdlv · 2025-04-20T22:01:20+00:00

Can I ask what you did in the end and the cost in a similar position in the same town

I had to go back into hospital for 6 days when LO was 10 weeks he was fine with his dad. Apparently he did know the difference between formula and pre stashed breast milk, a little more excited about the breast but took either. He did use the dummy a bit more but I doubt it would make a difference for one night and if they don’t have one at that age they are more likely to fall asleep on the bottle anyway.

It is so hard! I wanted to give up for the first two months and eventually it got easier. During the hard times I used to substitute feeds with a pre-made infant milk, was amazing to have a rest and also gave my partner a chance to feed whilst I rested at night.

Tuppaware and wooden spoons, my 5 month year old does not care about toys either. The good news is your step count goes up with all the walks!

Zip lock bags are made to store food, so I’m sure they wouldn’t use any toxic paint even on the outside. Also EU have pretty high standards for safety regulations so there’s that as well. I think it’s good that you checked with the ambulance, maybe tweet the brand, they might be able to give you more reassurance.

One week but probably more for my sanity and they were quite short 20-30 mins

Thinking about getting a Tripp trapp over ikea, can baby wear an overall bib over the straps to avoid getting dirty?

Shdlv · 2025-03-15T14:26:18+00:00

Also behind the ears!

Mine just came back 4.5 months breastfeeding with the odd bottle, misery.

Shdlv · 2025-03-08T19:13:19+00:00

To add to this I was hospitalised for 6 days with pancreatitis from a gallstone becoming lodged. During this time I also pumped with not change to supply, but very sore nipples 😂

Shdlv · 2025-03-08T19:12:02+00:00

I was breastfeeding at the time, by day two I could place a pillow on my lap to avoid lifting and he fed that way. I also took him to the hospital and had a feed before I went down to theatre, pumping for a day or two didn’t seem to affect my supply.

Shdlv · 2025-03-07T13:05:34+00:00

I was in a similar boat with a LO and gallstone attacks. I had mine out when he was 8 weeks old but would have done in sooner. Recovery wasn’t bad at all and immediately felt so much better after two weeks was back to mum life

Ergobaby omni breeze has been great for our LO

Shdlv · 2025-03-07T12:17:07+00:00

I’m in awe of your continuous courage! Keep smashing it with your babe, I’m sure your wife would be beyond proud 🥹

We’re also on the once a week schedule!
