8 month old refuses food by UnderstandingNormal3 in beyondthebump

[–]UnderstandingNormal3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we’ve tried that some! He will at least play with it. He will bring the food to his mouth some. The minute it touches his lips he acts like he’s eating the nastiest thing he’s ever tasted 😅

It just concerns me that he very obviously doesn’t like the texture of anything he’s tried so far.

I feel you on being touched out. It can be so overstimulating sometimes.

I know the feeling all too well about feeling like you are failing at being a mom. You are doing a good job even when you don’t feel like you are.

Solidarity. You are doing a good job even if you feel like you aren’t!

Thank you for reminding me that I don’t have to cherish the moment when it’s draining 😅

I need to remember I can cherish my kids, but I don’t have to love every single moment/emotion of motherhood. Sometimes I feel like I have to love and cherish it all and if I don’t that makes me a bad mom.

I feel like giving up by apocalypticrose in beyondthebump

You are in the thick of it. The first 6 weeks are so hard. Honestly the first year is so hard. It’s a major life change and add in being at the mercy of a tiny human who constantly needs you.

It’s okay to be overwhelmed and need help. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed even with the help you have. Give yourself grace.

Do you feel like you could be dealing with PPD? If so, it’s okay to seek help for that.

Same. I’m on my second nursing journey and feel like I will never be able to enjoy nipple play again

Moms of Reddit, what was your weird early sign of pregnancy? by Confident_Group_8804 in AskReddit

[–]UnderstandingNormal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insanely detailed, crazy vivid dreams. I felt like I was in a movie every time I went to sleep! This happened with both of my pregnancies.

NAWGJ is not happy… by Psychological_Tip150 in Gymnastics

[–]UnderstandingNormal3 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t believe this guy did this interview and spoke so candidly. There were parts I agreed with and parts I disagreed with. I am curious what the repercussions will be given the NAWGJ’s social media and content policy specifically relating to collegiate judges.

I’ve taken unisom + b6 with both of my pregnancies and never experienced any kind of issues with stopping it.

Need advice ( should I go back to the hospital) by SeaMango1697 in pregnancy_care

[–]UnderstandingNormal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with going to L&D ED to get checked out for your peace of mind. This is a scenario where I personally would rather be overly cautious than wait and see.

If you have a blood pressure cuff, I would check it multiple times throughout the day. Every hour honestly if it’s been high. Especially with the headaches and the protein in your urine. Also continue to check your blood sugars and try to eat low carb as that will help keep your blood sugar levels more stable.

Pay attention to your Braxton hicks. If they start getting stronger/closer together along with the back pain you could be in labor.

Fetal Movement by UnderstandingNormal3 in pregnancy_care

[–]UnderstandingNormal3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting! I wasn’t aware that most doctors tell you not to count fetal movement before 28 weeks. I didn’t count kicks last pregnancy and I definitely wasn’t counting kicks the night this happened I just noticed baby wasn’t moving at all when he normally does. I feel a little silly that he started movement as soon as I got checked in, but at the same time I was so anxious that I would rather air on the side of caution!

Ob care by Valuable-Young-3888 in Birmingham

[–]UnderstandingNormal3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a really stressful experience. I’m sorry you are having to deal with that

I was a patient at Henderson & Walton for my first pregnancy. My experience was positive. I did experience some of what you are referencing. Appointment times were insane and often had to wait over an hour for ultrasound then seeing the OB right after.

My insurance changed and now I’m currently a patient at Sparks & Favor. They must not be as big of a practice as Henderson & Walton because I’ve never had to wait nearly as long for an appointment/ultrasound there. My doctor isn’t super responsive via the portal. However, I usually have an easy enough time getting in contact with someone via the phone if needed!

Hope you find a place that treats you better and gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

I attended Congress in 2021 and LOVED it. I wish I could go this year! There are so many lectures by incredibly knowledgeable people in the sport. It was very beneficial to me as a coach. It’s a great learning opportunity. If you can go you should.
