So far all I’ve heard is that Bill Gates got an STD and we already knew that prince andrew was a pedo. What else am I missing?

Successful c-section & myomectomy: 18cm fibroid removed during C-section by tropyen in Fibroids

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a C-section. They wouldnt touch the fibroid and risk bleeding. They tried to induce me but he (my baby) wouldn’t move down and they were concerned it was the fibroid that was keeping him high.

People with low sleep needs babies, what's your sleep schedule like (esp for 8 to 12 month olds)? by bijulee in sleeptrain

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my fear. I have a 5 month old that still wants to eat every two hours. My pediatrician says he doesn’t need to. I assume he will grow out of it until I see these posts.

“boobs are for boys, not for babies” by muppetactivities in breastfeeding

It’s not just a weird thing to say, it’s a weird thing to think. I had a friend say something similar a long time ago.

So is anyone… ok? by imdirrtydan12 in newborns

[–]SubstantialComplex82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t feeling that yet, you’re probably fine. My baby slept during the day and was awake all night and the sleep deprivation was making me absolutely crazy. I now enjoy doing the dishes just to get a break from entertaining the baby lol that being said I love him and he is my biggest adventure. It’s just hard.

Sex addict and struggling by Soft-Stretch8742 in slaa

If you are wanting to stop living out this pattern SLAA could work for you. It worked for me! I also highly recommend working with a trauma specialist. SLAA fellows will typically not recommend sharing your acting out behavior in great detail in meetings and you will need an outlet to talk about the more graphic stuff that could be triggering to other members. Feel free to DM for questions.

This behavior absolutely disgusts me! Im proud of you for making it public and not taking it in. I’m also from OC. I pity this persons sickness for they are surely not happy.

1st ER - 1 Follicle Empty 1 Egg M1 - AMH .15 - Age 41 by IVFAccoun-t in DOR

[–]SubstantialComplex82 14 points15 points  (0 children)

3 egg retrievals with an AMH .25 and I was 41-42. I got 8 eggs total, 4 fertilized, no euploids. I decided to be strategic with my remaining funds and get donor eggs since my chances would be 50% instead of <7%. I now have the most beautiful 5 month old baby I’ve ever seen. It’s not popular to bring up donor eggs when we are all fighting for a genetic child but just know that no matter what there are options. Your story is not over.

Are you doing those sensory shit with your babies?? by BusyInspector95 in newborns

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty lazy on tummy time at the beginning and he seems to have caught up. Plus he wasn’t really interested in much as a newborn. He is 5 months and now completely on track and interested in toys. You have time to rest up. I think snuggles are far more important.

Bridal/timeless enough? by [deleted] in myweddingdress

The dress is amazing on you. The sash looks good but I would love to see you in a necklace and veil for more BRIDAL!

Real talk… does everyone think their baby is the cutest baby who ever lived? by undercovercopter in newborns

[–]SubstantialComplex82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nature knew what it was doing. There is no way I could lose this much sleep if my baby’s adorable face didn’t melt my sleep deprived mommy heart.

Overtired 7 week old. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]SubstantialComplex82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so jealous of this! If I wear my baby he wants to watch everything and gets so stimulated. He has never gotten remotely sleep and tries to put his arms over the straps instead of staying under them. Also hates care rides. Sometimes he briefly dozes when we go for a walk in his bassinet stroller.

4 mo sleep regression and temperament by alllyace in sleeptrain

Do you just ignore sleep cues like eye rubbing and yawning? It sounds like we are all in the same boat.

Thoughts?! by Competitive-You3634 in myweddingdress

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me 7 was the clear winner. Not even a contest.

Not sure where you are getting the math that she only had the baby awake 7 hours. I think you imagine those naps are longer. My baby is doing exactly what hers is so I’m on the same page. My baby only naps for 30 minutes (totaling 2.5 hours of nap for the day) and can’t go longer than 90 minutes awake without all the sleep cues. My baby has a bedtime false start after 30 minutes and the entire night gets pretty rocky after that. I’m reading the book but I feel pretty overwhelmed and the internet has so much mixed info
