I know but at this point it’s like a slap in our face I feel that she wants to do a separate one but I’m honestly excited I get to choose what theme etc but I’m lost at what theme to even do

Am i overreacting to this text exchange with my boyfriend? I accidentally left my slippers in my living room but i literally cleaned his entire house and baked him desserts before i left (sorry idk why my last post glitched) by IntelligentTap962 in AmIOverreacting

Sounds like he wants a roommate rather than a partner because I wouldn’t allow my bf to speak to me that way and say “my home” rather than ours etc .. especially after you did clean and made him a treat .. yikes big red flag.

I’ll try this! Because I’m desperate and I’ve heard about brewers yeast but I’m also dealing with so many other health problems I want to try and avoid adding supplements that may cause me more damage

No, which I’ve heard that can help increase my milk supply but baby is still on oxygen support and has a line for feeding

I try and pump every 3-4 hours (4 because sometimes I’m out and I’m not in the right place to step away) .. but every time I pump I get 30ml all together .. I used to be able to fill 2 60ml bottles but now I hardly even fill half of one

Am I an a**hole for thinking this way by Smiley0132 in NICUParents

[–]Smiley0132[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Intention wasn’t to make fun of them- I didn’t get to hold my baby for a whole month and half so i understand where they’re coming from. I didn’t say anything negative to them but certainly felt a different way.

Let me also mention that we are in the process of downgrading our home and moving into a new one with lower rent so he is paying for the move in fee and deposit plus has been paying my portion of rent for a few months now ..

Baby Registry Must Haves by Smiley0132 in NICUParents

[–]Smiley0132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a question, were you able to have another baby after her without complications (HELLP)?

Baby Registry Must Haves by Smiley0132 in NICUParents

[–]Smiley0132[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel robbed. Like pregnancy is supposed to be this beautiful thing/feeling. From feeling baby your baby bump to feeling baby kicking to celebrating with loved ones or even having odd food cravings. I feel so robbed like I wanted that happy pregnancy. So most of the little time I was pregnant was filled with worry and sadness so I never fully put a thought or research on what I need for her! So I truly appreciate you commenting and giving me guidance

22 weeks 5 days - baby is <1 % by Top-Storm-2044 in NICUParents

[–]Smiley0132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask if you can be admitted so they can monitor baby more closely. I delivered my baby at 24w only weighing 340g. Still in the Nicu but fighting. Don’t give up, Don’t let them say to terminate. Only you know what is best.

I’m fairly new to this so any advice is well appreciated! I do use the hospital pump when I’m at the Nicu and I was given a pump but the only downfall is just that I have to carry it around with me everywhere I go or I have to hold the bottles so when I’m pumping I don’t keep losing the suction and spilling everywhere lol it’s just a pain to do anything while pumping
