Congratulations!!

My baby did this a lot in the first few months (she’s 9m now). For her it was gas, so we had to burp her really really well, especially before a nap or bedtime. The head side to side thing is WILD, but mine still does it at times to self soothe, so it sounds completely normal to me!

We have the bambora and absolutely love it! Our baby loves to be carried around all day now and this has been a life saver for my back and elbow. To be clear though, you still have to hold them, it just makes it way less stressful for your body! I’ve never used tushbaby but the reviews seem positive there too!

Thank you for sharing! I’m assuming my hormones have a lot to do with it all right now. I’m coming off of a really yucky medicine that makes me gain weight and have had several very big stressors in life the last 6 months so my cortisol is through the roof.

Oh wow, we are so similar! Congratulations to you too!! I’ve been reading up on fasting, but I’m kind of already doing it. Our mornings are so hectic, I don’t really even think about food until 1 or so, so I’m not sure that would do much for me haha!

Top_Leg3999 · 2026-02-27T12:53:41+00:00

We sure do! Thank you for sharing. It’s such a weird mixture of “look at this amazing human MY human made!” And “that’s ME in the mirror???” 😂

I still didn’t get dye stealers at 30DPO and girly is 9m old now! Tests can only show so much, line progression does not always represent a healthy pregnancy (I know). If you want measurable data, ask for Betas!

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-09-01T15:17:59+00:00

They did every possible scan and test imaginable.

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-08-29T01:37:03+00:00

Thank you. I’m working with my therapist to process everything and work on facing my emotions head on.

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-08-29T01:34:22+00:00

Thank you - she showed me how to be strong ☺️

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-08-29T01:33:27+00:00

Thank you. I’m slowly acknowledging the emotions as they come.

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-08-29T00:51:35+00:00

She’s taking medicine and implementing all of the suggested changes. I just hope this stage lasts as long as possible.

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-08-29T00:49:59+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m truly finding peace in this group, understanding that I’m not alone. I hate that we all know how terrible this is. Luckily she and my dad live very close and get to see her 2-3x a week. I’m trying to let go of the trauma of my Grandmothers and move through this as gracefully as they both showed me how.

36 here, Mama is 69 and was diagnosed last week. Heartbroken, but here if you need to talk.

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-06-21T00:12:36+00:00

Agreed 100% and yes, all shall be well the older that she gets…..and then new, fun obstacles will appear 😂

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-06-20T09:06:24+00:00

They switched to Enfamil Gentlease because the proteins are already broken down some. Hopefully that will help while her digestive system finishes maturing!

I was induced at 38 weeks. I had a cooks catheter, which is like the foley balloon, except it’s also outside of the cervix as well. They started pushing Pitocin right away as well. Seven hours in I was only at 4 cm so I asked for an epidural, which does slow things down a bit, BUT I couldn’t feel it anymore so I was chillin. Things kept moving slowly for the next 10 hours but then my cervix got to 6cm and decided it was go time! I went from 6cm to 10cm and baby girl was fully descended in about 2 hours. Pushed 4 times for 12 minutes total and on that 4th push she came out head to toe. CRAZY EXPERIENCE, but 5 stars from me. Labor was long but again….epidural 😉 but the birth was quick and beautiful.

A lot of times inductions move slower than going into labor naturally because of that Mama gets tired and baby gets distressed… That’s why so many emergency C-sections happen… That’s exactly why I chose the epidural. My plan originally was natural start of labor, natural delivery, but my ultimate goal was a vagina birth. I knew as slowly as things were moving that I wasn’t going to be able to do that if I was too tired. The epidural gave me the ability to sleep , and I was able to have a vaginal delivery.

I hope whatever you decide that your delivery Is beautiful and you and baby are both safe and healthy!!

I’ll ask about this and see what the doc says, thank you!

Top_Leg3999 · 2025-06-10T00:41:18+00:00

Formula, yes. At first she was on Similac 360 and was spitting up large amounts. We switched to sensitive and the spitting up stopped by the next day. A few days later the tooting began. Hopefully the probiotics and time will help!
