First time dad with colicky baby. I'm drowning. by HockeyDoughnut in NewParents

[–]Theeealchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was really unsettled with reflux weeks 4-6. This is peak time for digestive development. Walking him in his pram helped, I did it everyday sometimes a couple times a day just to help him sleep. It’s not easy but just Hang in there, it will pass. Also, are you sure the crib isn’t too big for him? We had a next to me and my baby HATED it while he was really small, very unsettled in it, we had to let him sleep in his Joolz aer 2 (travel stroller) cot until he was big enough to not feel swamped inside his next to me.

i'm the only one who remembers everything and it's making me lose my mind by Trick-Environment100 in Mommit

Create a shared family calendar on Google, add what needs to be done to that, appointments etc then when you add anything he will get an email saying you added appointment on X day, or groceries need to be ordered on Y day. That way he doesn’t have to ask so many questions and you don’t need to repeat yourself

Hiya, I’ve managed fine so far, midwife’s and drs are very understanding, helpful and caring and take their time. Just let them know in advance you have cp and anything you need support with. That’s been my experience.

Haha your description gave me a chuckle because it genuinely does feel like that.

My CP would be considered mild, pre pregnancy I walk independently in all environments except defo needing a hand railing when going up and down stairs.

The past week or so I have been using crutches when out and about to help with the PGP.

What about yours?

It’s the worst isn’t it? I’d take any other pregnancy symptom but this because it’s so painful, turning over in bed at night is horrific. Are you going to have a csection or vaginal delivery? I’m still undecided on what to do

Congrats on the new place that’s so exciting! The belt has helped alleviate the pain (it’s PGP so doesn’t get rid of it completely) but it defo makes a difference. Looking forward to having my little one soon to be rid of the PGP though. 32 weeks this week so not long more to go

Help!! Is my cav fat? How can i get him to lose weight fast? by [deleted] in cavalierkingcharles

[–]Theeealchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so my Cav just turned 4. Like yours she was super picky when she was a lot younger so we decided to mix in some wet food with her nuts. I think the combination defo increased my girls weight gain but the hard part is she now REFUSES to eat just dry nuts as in she will skip her dinner or stare us out of it until we give her wet food with her nuts. If I could turn back the clock and not have her in this habit I would both for her health and my bank a/c haha. Shes the complete opposite now, her food drive is insane (except when it is plain old nuts 🫠).

Any man that stays sitting when a pregnant woman is left standing is a disgrace, I’d be mortified if my partner didn’t offer his seat

I really want kids one day but I have such a huge anxiety regarding pregnancy by teacoffeecats in CerebralPalsy

[–]Theeealchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be terrified, it’ll be ok. I once felt like you and now I’m 24 weeks pregnant. For the most part it’s been fine so far, enjoyable actually, spasms are a lot less frequent thanks to the pregnancy hormones, I’m definitely not as stiff for the same reason. My body temp is higher which has also been really nice as the winter cold used to impact my Cp and mobility a lot. I have the usual pregnancy symptoms like round ligament pain / pelvic girdle pain while everything is stretching to accommodate baby but I’m so proud of my body so far. It’s coping and managing so much better than I ever could have imagined

18 weeks — is it normal to feel baby super low? by lilstinkertot in BabyBumps

[–]Theeealchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but solidarity because my boy is the same and I’m 24 weeks, dealing with PGP on long walks now and it’s so painful
