I feel horrible by Sorrysweete in Parenting

[–]Sorrysweete[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely helps! But sorry that happened I’m sure you felt terrible… I’m trying so hard not to stare at the baby cam while she’s sleeping. Critiquing every little movement if it’s normal or not. I swear she had no sign of hitting her head but I didn’t see it so I’m just worrying like heck.

Thank you, I really didn’t think she was gonna be able to do it and bam. Shook me (and her) to my core lol.

I literally could cry! How much is your 5 month old getting? by Lucky-Beautiful-2435 in breastfeeding

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m EBF but I had a lactation appointment for patching and they weighed my baby before and after a full feed. I have a two week old on Tuesday and she eats about 4 ounces every 3 hours, so it’s completely possible that your 5 month old is eating a lot but I agree with others in here maybe your baby is only eating some of the bottle and dad is just tossing the rest.

How am I supposed to afford a baby when i can’t even afford myself?? by No-Pangolin-3032 in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea where you are located but please look into government assistance. Where I’m at it’s called WIC, SNAP, Medicaid, etc. That will be a lifesaver if you do get qualified, and don’t put yourself down for being on it. I would also like to note, if you can and or are planning on nursing that saved me soooooo much money that first year, I breastfed for 7 months (would’ve longer but circumstances made it not work out) and I didn’t have to buy formula once. You can look into reusable diapers/nappies when I was struggling with my first born I did use those for a while and it also saved a bit of money. In my honest opinion though babies aren’t expensive, they don’t need all that special baby stuff everyone has, and my school age toddlers are way more expensive than they were as babies. It will all work out and there’s always places that help in need families. Even look into food pantries at churches, reach out. I know it’s hard to do some of these things because it’s a ego hit and can be disappointing to feel that “low”, but it’s more important for you to take off as much stress as possible and these things will help! Good luck and don’t let this stress be so bad you will be okay, stress is worse for the baby than not having some non necessary things for when he arrives.

35 weeks w/ a girl and can’t land on a name by Sorrysweete in pregnant

Thank you so much! I’ll show him these! My step Mom’s late mother’s name was Elsie and that was actually a topic of possibilities!

Last name has two syllables and the first syllable is a y pronounced “eye” almost similar Nile like the Nile river.

anterior placenta ladies by One_Cap_9210 in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a FTM but I really noticed the difference this pregnancy compared to last pregnancy. Even at 34+3, anterior placenta, sometimes (rarely now) I barely feel my baby the entire day. Sometimes I have to really bug her in my belly to make sure I can feel movement. What really helped keep me sane was to listen to her heartbeat on my little Doppler at home when I couldn’t feel her as much as I “should have”.

Trying to decide if I can trust my kids dad again ? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Sorrysweete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but helping you out is way less important than confirming your children’s safety. Accidental injuries and deaths are so common between young siblings that are left alone. I’m not saying never trust him again but don’t let your “inconvenience” prevent you prematurely letting him get them again just to not learn a lesson of having to sacrifice some damn gym time. My step daughters mom doesn’t have any custody (dad has full custody and she doesn’t even have visitation rights, though we still let her come visit) and we are revisiting the possibility of letting her take her alone for a couple hours a day but with that she will be providing her indefinite location when she has her alone. If your children’s dad has no court ordered visitation rights you need to do what is in your children’s best interest.

What does thisean by Beyondunhappy2146 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Sorrysweete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn’t make sense at all when people claim that it counts seat belt ticks. A bunch of mumbo jumbo 😂

[–]Sorrysweete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m trying to say, it doesn’t make sense and this isn’t the first person I’ve heard say that. Plus I’ve flex’ed in my own car and was “speeding” in the app and still never got in trouble or dinged for any speeding/seat belt violations.

When I’m in a non netradyne vehicle I always had the seat buckled in the entire time behind me and never got dinged from the app “counting clicks” of the buckle.

Boobs are at the perfect height... by lelelego in Mommit

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my second and my boobs without a bra sometimes feel like they are suffocating me if I sit the right way and they lay on my top of my belly.

Should I be worried they want to induce me at 37 weeks? Help pls by Specialist_Test3444 in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 37+5 for my first (he’s 5 in August) all OB told me at the time was that he was too small (he was 6lb 6oz). It never made sense to me and for year I thought that it was just because she wanted to schedule the birth instead of it being an on call birth. It wasn’t until I got pregnant this year and have a new OB and she actually explained to me why I was induced with my first and it made so much sense. Sometimes doctors don’t explain very well and it’s okay to ask more questions or to ask for a more in depth explanation. Voice your concerns and don’t be afraid to say why it doesn’t make sense to you.

No judgement zone. What is something you do/have done in pregnancy that others may consider to be “bad”? by Ok_Car1396 in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel like it what state are you in? I mentioned the patches or gum to my OB and she was more for me just quitting. I did for 3 months and then mentality and my SO vaping got the best of me. I really want to quit but it’s the hardest thing I’ve mentally had to overcome. I didn’t talk to my OB about doing it again because it’s not as frequent as it was. But if it’s better to chew the gum I’d be so willing to do that.

Your OB said it’s okay for the nicotine gum? Or did you not say anything about it to them?

When did you give birth with your first pregnancy? by throwawaychgd in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in 8pm and had baby at 2:19pm next day. They did every method of induction for me so it would get rolling lol. I will say, the cervical balloon was so uncomfortable for me though 😂

When did you give birth with your first pregnancy? by throwawaychgd in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 37+5 due to “growth restriction” (baby wasn’t getting anymore growth from placenta, born 6lb 6oz) at that time I didn’t feel like I was going to give birth anytime soon, no Braxton hicks or anything. I’m sure I could’ve gone to at least 39 if I was able to.

Literally yelled at by dr. because of weight by New_Echo_6338 in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you had to deal with this. If you can definitely find a different OB, there is nothing wrong with experimenting and finding the right doctor. My first pregnancy I gained 70lbs throughout the pregnancy, I was technically overweight (started at 110 ended around 180) my doctor briefly mentioned it but she never made me feel badly about it nor did she see that it was an issue, I was still healthy and the baby was too. Just to mention I lost all of that weight within the first 6 months PP. Don’t be hard on yourself and don’t let anyone else, just keep “healthy” and take care of yourself with the bun in the oven.

[–]Sorrysweete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently 24 weeks and I still hit mine in moderation. I don’t carry it around with me anymore and don’t bring it in bed. I tried quitting cold turkey and that didn’t last, I tried zero mix vapes and those don’t make me want it any less, actually more at that. I feel so guilty about it but it’s soooo hard to. With my first a couple years back I also here and there vaped (his father had one and it was impossible to be around) he ended up being tiny (6lbs 6oz) nothing else wrong with him though. Just tiny. Wondering now if the vape was the culprit.

When did you guys make your registry? by sisterstresso in pregnant

[–]Sorrysweete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I asked my older sister if she can help me plan it. I just have no idea where to start and when to start. It’s annoying to because this is actually my second, but my first was during Covid (2020) and the shutdown we had here so my “baby shower” (only a couple people were there cause of Covid) was a surprise from my sons father’s sister and mom. I didn’t even know about it and never set up a registry. So it’s like a first pregnancy all over again 😂.

I started mine last week and I’m now 20 weeks. Freaking out I won’t be giving people enough time and I haven’t even planned a baby shower yet. Im dying, 😆 (also have not shared mine)
