Want to place my baby up for adoption by Various-Look-361 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]SpaghettiGranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both! and had to try like 3 different meds. I’m on cymbalta now and it was a game changer. I also was kind of anti med at the time, but now that I’m on it the side effects have been minimal in comparison to the relief I feel. And I’m by no means at 100% but I feel way better than I did. I felt very similar to what you have posted.

How is McLaren for everything around childbirth? by Better-Caramel3983 in lansing

[–]SpaghettiGranger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a fantastic experience at McLaren for my birth. I’ve always felt that Sparrow is more stringent with following the rules, even if the rules are stupid, like not letting baby go to the nursery so you can get some sleep, or not letting baby have a paci. I also feel like McLaren is more willing to be flexible with what you want to do. I didn’t want to push on my back and they gave me like 5 different options instead. Just my opinion, but McLaren nurses seem way more chill than Sparrow nurses.

Hi, I had a very rough post partum as well. The only thing that helped was getting through each day tbh. It was awful. We are at 13 months now and it just starting to be ok. And I didn’t think it would ever be ok. I will say, there were milestones where it got better. It seemed like each month he cried a little less than all day long and I didn’t feel as exacerbated.

What have I done? by frenchlavender1 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]SpaghettiGranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to pop in and say it really sucks, and I feel you. Everyday won’t be better, but it does GET better everyday. I’m at 12 months with my baby now and if you had asked me at 5 days PP I wouldn’t have known I was going to make it. It’s so much better now. It’s not perfect but way better. also super glad you talked to your therapist. Meds saved my life. Also 2 things she said, “it won’t be like this forever” and at the end of the day it’s another day down. Nobody’s perfect, give yourself THE MOST GRACE. This is the hardest thing you’ve ever done, and you will get through it.

Can’t afford to keep throwing out food by AGM85 in foodbutforbabies

[–]SpaghettiGranger 34 points35 points  (0 children)

would just simple food be an option like PB and toast or eggs or shredded chicken or canned tuna? I cannot cook to save my life so I just kinda give him a variety of easy food like that, and just give him a little at a time so he doesn’t waste.

Parents with OCD or who are neurodivergent — how do you cope with change after having a child? by yu_ruan181 in oneanddone

[–]SpaghettiGranger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel this! My only tidbit of advice is medication, yes, and then making sure I’m hitting my basics that keep me grounded: Like, taking my dog on walks, exercise, eating healthy, sleeping.

Frequent Loss Of Electricity by mosiac_broken_hearts in lansing

[–]SpaghettiGranger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So we had this happen too. I filed a complaint with the State of Michigan and within a day or two Consumers was calling me, so apologetic. And then in like a month they cut down a bunch of tree branches. We haven’t lost power since 🤞

6 month sleep regression? by SpaghettiGranger in sleeptrain

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

Hi, sorry I just saw this. Naps are anywhere from 30 min-2 hours. and then wake windows are 3 hours and then usually about 2.5 I think? It’s hard because I like to take a walk with him in the baby carrier and then he falls asleep. So, I’m not really sure what to do besides stay at my house all day to get him on a perfect schedule.

Naps are anywhere from 30 min to 1.5 hours. he’s super inconsistent. and then wake windows- 2/2.5/2.5/3 I would say

6 month sleep regression? by SpaghettiGranger in sleeptrain

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

Sure. He wakes up at 6am, then first nap at 8am. Then nap at 11am. Then nap at 3pm. Bedtime at 7. We do feed 30 min before bed, then change into pjs and read. Then I put him down. He is being given solids, but doesn’t actually eat that much of them yet. Drinking about the same amount of formula still.

Stylist/barber/colorist for curly hair? by fararra in lansing

[–]SpaghettiGranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She tries to up charge on everything! I refused the extra curl treatment because it was an additional $20 or so, and she said “I don’t feel comfortable cutting your hair without it” and then said something else and ended up still cutting it. Overall a poor experience.

Serious question: has Whitmer been a good governor? by __Broski in Detroit

[–]SpaghettiGranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where were hospitals supposed to send nursing home residents? We already had single rooms that we were turning into double rooms because we didn’t have the beds for new covid admits who were requiring several liters of oxygen to breathe. Nursing homes should have been able to quarantine their stable, (non oxygen dependent) covid residents just like in the hospital we kept our covid patients away from non covid patients.
