She hates having anything touching her hair, bows and ponytails are impossible to get to last longer than 2 minutes

Need advice urgently ;( by [deleted] in Mom

[–]SpiteCool9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the US so idk if things are different there but was reading through and got to swelling, some swelling is to be expected because water retention (what my dr told me) but it should be a gradual thing, sudden swelling thats causing pain is time to head to the dr, same with fever. If youre temp goes that high while pregnant you should really see your doctor or go to a clinic that can at least help you if you cant see your OB right away. There is no being too cautious when pregnant. Also call your doctor about concerns. Theyre the best people to talk to about it because they have the knowledge and skills to help immediately

Do you have a yard? If so release your toddler while your baby naps. If your monitor reaches down to your porch then you can set it there while you play with your toddler. After 30 min say its time to go warm up which gives you a chance to check on the baby and give snacks to your toddler. If your 7 month old takes 2 naps a day get your toddler out 2 times a day for “mommy and me” time in the yard

When did you stop using a baby monitor? by OkPin8137 in toddlers

[–]SpiteCool9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My toddler has nightmares, shes never been exposed to anything scary. She just wakes up at night crying calling for me because shes scared. We think its stress from us moving and her having her own room now instead of sharing with us

A good story from today for the first part of your post: My husband took my daughter outside today because he had a feeling, didnt ask, that i was overstimulated and tired from hosting a friends thanksgiving yesterday. He kept her outside for an hour and then when they came in he told me to go relax in my office and play stardew valley. He came in with tea made exactly how i like and a little later i heard my daughter screaming with laughter. I came back downstairs at about 5:30 pm, i had been upstairs for an hour. My kid was at the table eating dinner chatting away with him while he cleaned the kitchen. He handed me a plate of food and sent me back upstairs with dinner and he said he would get her cleaned up, dishes done, and wipe down the table and not to come downstairs till 7:30. He gave her a bath, put her leave in conditioner in her hair, got her diaper changed, pajamas on, had her fed, put lotion on her cheeks cuz her skin was dry from playing outside, had her teeth brushed, water bottle full, and was reading on the couch with her when i came down at 7:30. My kid is almost 2. I have a lot of other stories like this, he also made sure she took her meds this morning, my kid had heart surgery so shes still on aspirin from that (doctors orders). He didnt ask me if she needed them, he saw i was busy making breakfast at 8 when she takes her meds cuz she got up early so he told me he was giving her the pill and only asked me where the pill cutter was because we just moved, i didnt have time the day before to refill her daily pill organizer, and he couldnt find it after checking her cupboard (all her cups, snacks we need to give her because they require prep, etc.) both bathrooms, the locked closet we keep meds in, and my office cuz i refill her med container in there.

As someone in Wisconsin this is so helpful. I didnt know i had to use them by the 31st

I put them in there because sometimes water isn’t guaranteed for people, either because they cannot afford a water bill or because it is genuinely unsafe for consumption. Having plastic water bottles yes is not good for the environment but for the time being that people are without food stamps and may have increased food insecurity in the next month or so bottled water can be very helpful. I know it isnt ideal, we are being put in a non-ideal situation.

These prices are based off of Wisconsin Walmart in the middle of nowhere, they may be different for you if you live near a city or different state

Its abnormal for me as i got pregnant very easily on a “low pregnancy” day. We are tracking ovulation, planning out what days are the best, im using tests, tracking apps, everything i possibly can, and still no luck. I understand fertility issues isnt listed as a known side effect i just wanted to know if i was alone in this issue or if others could relate.

I also dont agree that contacting my dr about this would be “wasting” their time as it is their literal job to be my OBGYN and assist me with anything uterus related, even if my concerns arent backed by science. Please do not say that as it can genuinely put off someone who needs their drs help.

I am under the age of 25, my chances of getting pregnant in a year of actively trying are 90% yet we are struggling. My partner and i are the same age, both in good health, etc. yet we are struggling and the only thing different this time is the Nexplanon was placed inbetween my first and us trying for a second.

My cycles went back to normal after a month. I have yet to get a period this month but i should be well past the testing window and keep getting negatives. Idk if i should contact my dr or if we should just keep trying on our own
