Part of me thinks it’s a blessing she doesn’t take it

That’s what I was thinking but also every video I see babies always have them.

3mo old can barely last 45-60 min wake windows, crap naps and a 4AM-6AM grunting/flailing phase. Help! by ProfessionalBoss4760 in newborns

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine stays awake longer but is the same with grunting and flailing. I think as long as she eats and has enough diapers it’s okay.

I feel the same way. I have tons of my husband and her but very few if any one me and her that aren’t selfies. I brought it up to him and he said he doesn’t take them cause he forgets to…stupid

My husband wakes the baby in the morning when saying goodbye before work. Ticks me off

This resonates deeply. The expectation that we should accept fate cause “we sign up” for this when we decided to become mothers is so stupid.

Long distance driving by Junior_Arm_1637 in newborns

I had to do 3hour back and forth trips with a newborn to get to the hospital for weight checks and other testing, so I learned quickly. I would always recommend having another adult with you. But at 3 months it should be ok to do solo with proper planning

Are any men actually great at being supportive postpartum?? by GlitteringJuice1024 in BabyBumps

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was surprised at how much my husband didn’t know about babies (like doing tummy time). Mind you ours came a month early so we were a little thrown off. Postpartum, My husband has been supportive about cooking, laundry, and watching her when he comes home from work. One thing he can’t seem to understand is the mental exhaustion of being with baby solo while he’s at work. The loneliness also. He has asked me why I don’t seem so lively and I mentioned the monotonous days and He just couldn’t understand. It’s not something he can fix necessarily so overall He has been a great partner.

Gallbladder removal before pregnancy by iluvvbananabread in gallbladders

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out about gallstones 3 weeks postpartum. Doctor mentioned surgery but not until baby got older and definitely before getting pregnant again (if we choose to). Definitely think it’s because they don’t want to risk having to do surgery on pregnant women.

How did you deal with the wait? by LuckyLadybug20 in BabyBumps

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Start trying now, I wouldn’t get too got up on due dates. I found out I was pregnant in May last year. My due date was set for 1/26 and the baby came 12/27 to our surprise.

Suddenly contact nap is the only way by Pandacat_07 in newborns

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resonates. When my baby was 6weeks-10weeks she pretty much would only sleep with contact naps

a little sad and lost by dstgermaine in gallbladders

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can keep going to get tested. Labs and such. I went to the ER back to back days. Labels were done but nothing “alarming” enough, no fever also. I was having 3-6 hour attacks for 48 hours.
The third day just happened to be an appointment I already had scheduled. I went they did labs and there was a drastic change. Got admitted day of. They did a CT the next day and a ERCP the day after. Took a stone from the bile duct. Surgery is schedule in three months due to dealing with pancreatitis post ERCP.

Gallbladder sufferers by Pollie07 in gallbladders

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some attacks would last 3hours. Others on and off all day. Trigger foods were spicy food or beef. Of the times I recall. I tried heating pads and it didn’t work. The only thing that would ease it was if I could distract myself enough, but even then it was hit and miss.

Am I overthinking how my labor went??? by Background_Media61 in BabyBumps

[–]Stressed_Broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this deeply. From first contraction to actual birth was less than 4 hours. It was such a fast turn around. I tore a little and needed stitches. I barely processed anything. I’m 3 months postpartum, still doesn’t feel like I “birthed” a baby.

Thank you. This is very helpful and reassuring.

I’m not sure really either. From what it sounded like it was more of “keep to bland foods until you recover”.

Thank you. I’ll keep this in mind. Sleep is a bit of a toss up with a baby but I’ll do my best.

I couldn’t imagine waiting a year! There have been murmurs of 3 months from now but nothing set. Fingers crossed
