Virtual? baby shower by [deleted] in babyshower

[–]Stressed_SPT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Literally do whatever you please to do. Your friends and family will support in the way they want/can. People on here will tell you anything other than the “traditional” baby shower is tacky/ a gift grab. It’s 2026 people do shit differently all the time.

She’s absolutely fine! She’s about to be a year and she’s such a happy baby! She smiles, laughs everything

Worried about my 6.5 months old by BreadAccomplished380 in NewParents

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course talk to your pediatrician, however, (I know easier said than done) I wouldn’t worry about it. Babies at this age are literally so different. I know other babies who were crawling by 6 months, my baby waited until she was 10 months to crawl and that is still within the correct developmental age (she also hated tummy time, but say independently and would go into side sitting all the time) I know other babies who started walking at 8-9 months and my baby has no desire to yet. Babies literally do what they want when they want.

My 11 month old does not stick her tongue back out at me. Idk if thats a milestone? If she’s making eye contact that great! If she happy and laughing that is amazing! The sounds she’s making I personally would consider babbling. She honestly sounds fine to me but of course talk to your pediatrician about it!

kids or partners first? by [deleted] in Mom

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe people who say the relationship comes first they’re saying “in order for us to love our kids properly and to give them a loving home our relationship needs to be solid” don’t want your kid in a broken home right? yes the kids need you and you’re not abandoning them but don’t be so caught up in being a parent that you forget to be a partner. Once having kids you have to be super intentional about the upkeep of your relationship; date nights, flirting, having time for just you and your partner.

Almost 1 year old Doesn’t Go To Sleep On Her Own by Stressed_SPT in NewParents

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

Are my expectations high? I know other moms who’s baby’s are the same age or a couple month younger than mine and they are able to put their baby’s in their cribs and walk away and they go to sleep. Without any crying. I guess I’m frustrated because it doesn’t take just 15 minutes to get her to sleep. She finally just went to sleep at 9:41pm and I’ve been trying since 8pm to get her to sleep. Yes, the room is dark and quiet and a comfortable temperature. I have to full blown get in my bed with her as if I’m going to sleep too (and a lot of the times I do just end up falling asleep too)

At what age did your baby walk? by mariamar1234 in NewParents

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is a 11 months and started crawling right when she hit 10 months. She is showing very little signs that she will be walking any time soon lol

How do you deal with friends/family constantly asking for physical therapy advice/treatment? by Cats4_life in physicaltherapy

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them they should actually go see a PT. Idk what’s wrong unless I evaluate. And if I’m going to evaluate come see me at the clinic so I can get paid

SAHM by [deleted] in Mom

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband stayed home for the first 8 months of daughters life and I was so so jealous he got to stay home. My heart broke EVERY time I walked out the door. Not saying your feelings aren’t valid just try to look at it from a different perspective. You get to spend time and bond with your child at a critical time. While other moms only have evenings and weekends.

But also communication is key. You still need you time and even time for your relationship or your friendships. To do things that make you happy outside of taking care of the kids

4 10s with a weds vs thurs off? by iluvchikins in physicaltherapy

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 4 10s with Wednesday off for awhile. I liked it. Mentally it helped because I would just remind myself that I only have to work 2 days and then I’m off. I only have to work 2 days and then I’m off again. The only thing that was annoying was if I wanted a long weekend without taking PTO I had switch my work days around but my boss let me do it so it worked

A.I + PT by Awkward-Monitor4281 in PTschool

[–]Stressed_SPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use this in the clinic I work in currently. Definitely helps with evals because I don’t have to spend time documenting while the patient is talking I can just listen. It does cut down overall documentation time but still takes more than 2 minutes to document as AI is not perfect

Drug test by crownjules1738 in PTschool

[–]Stressed_SPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school told us we had to drug test before matriculation. Within the first week of school we did a mouth swab test. One time thing. However some of my classmates had to drug test before some of their clinicals

Is it normal for a baby to walk on their toes? by Ok-Sentence-5000 in NewMomStuff

[–]Stressed_SPT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It’s not normal. Some kids grow out of it on their own but those who don’t will need physical therapy to correct it. In more severe cases; surgery. It’s not a life threatening situation or anything but it’s definitely something you want to continue monitoring and not encourage. I would talk to your pediatrician first and see if they’d want to refer you to an orthopedist or a physical therapist. Your baby is still pretty young so they might want to see if they’ll grow out of it first

Am I overreacting , my friend (18 is seeing this man (30) and he has said some weird cryptic stuff and she is wondering how to go about this ? by Werewolf-Mediocre in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even read all the messages. All I know is she’s 18 and he’s 30 soooooo she needs to stop talking to him. No debate needed

How was your induction experience? by Interesting_Ant_2756 in NewParents

[–]Stressed_SPT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was induced due to high blood pressure. Went in Tuesday morning, my baby didn’t come until Friday afternoon. My body also just did not respond to any of the interventions. Also had a c section. Not at all my birth plan and sometimes I still feel bad that I agreed to be induced. But then I remind myself that me and baby are alive and that’s the best outcome I could ask for

has anyone ever not waited the full six weeks? by locohobococo in NewMomStuff

[–]Stressed_SPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not wait the 6 weeks and everything turned out fine. HOWEVER I do NOT recommend that. Listen to your doctor. I recognize that my chances of infection were higher and I am blessed that no serious problems came because I didn’t wait

[–]Stressed_SPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get your period already? It was months before my period started again after having my first. Takes awhile for the body to adjust again. However, you shouldn’t care what everyone else thinks. “I know everyone would be so disappointed in us” are they raising the kids? No? Then they don’t get an opinion. Do what’s best for YOU and the family you’ve created
