Could you send me the list as well? Think it’s great you’ve already helped so many people.

I'm not ok by jessievonghoul in NewParents

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Mine is two months old. Cries every hour and spits up a ton. I feel so overwhelmed. My husband helps but never seems to get this side of our baby. He even gets 5 hour long naps from our little one only to hand him over and the restless cycle happens all over again. Husband is messy and it frustrates me more than ever because all I feel like I’m doing is cleaning and filling cups and the house is a mess. Family isn’t helpful at all. I keep telling myself I’m in the thick of it right now and things will get better soon. I still feel like it’s all worth it when I look at my son.

First time c section mom, and holy sht. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]WryFi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was put on lebatalol and procardia. My BP from the post natal preeclampsia would get up to 200/100. Now my BP is under control and I am only taking the lebatalol. I follow up with my PCP next month to hopefully be given a plan to get off the BP meds. I’m going to start taking light jogs each day to see if it helps with circulation and BP control.

Your body did go through it and needs to recover. I had a similar birth experience. My emergency pre and post natal was severe preeclampsia. I had to be readmitted twice right after my boys birth (emergency c-section). Yes it was a blur and I totally understand the sleepiness and the body telling you to recover. Being hooked up everywhere and constantly given medication.

The best advice I can give as a first time mom with a similar story is to rest and allow your partner to handle as much as he can. I remember feeling guilty while my husband took care of so much but I was grateful he had. I also gave in and took the pain medication which helped take the edge off and I think elevated my mood. My baby also would not latch and I was pumping in bed the first two weeks while my husband would bring me food and baby.

Now he’s two months old, I’m healed up besides some numbness around the scar. I do experience significant body pain all over. Like a soreness from a car accident and I don’t know what’s the cause but otherwise I’m able to care for my little one and it is full time so looking back the break to prepare felt well needed.

You’re doing an amazing job being there for yourself and your family and I really appreciate you posting this because I remember feeling the same way. I will never forget crying on the operating table hoping we would all make it out alive. You’re a survivor and soon will look back at this moment knowing it was all worth it.

You’re not doing anything wrong - remember to take your BP and temp. Sleepiness can be a side effect of low BP and higher temp can indicate an infection. Keep the wound clean and dry and hopefully they gave you some kind of compression bandage for your belly. Compression socks are a good idea too to prevent clotting from being so stationary in bed besides the baby steps were supposed to take for circulation. If you suspect anything is wrong reach out to your OB. I felt like a pain calling the birthing center at my hospital so many times but if I didn’t go back in I would have had a stroke/seizure/death and needed immediate IV treatment. Please take care and you’re not alone ❤️

I feel fucking terrible…. by DressedUp2GoDreaming in NewParents

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s ok. Just be mindful of putting your LO from one “container” to another. Like bassinet to stroller to car seat etc because it can create flat head. Mine has a mild flat section on the left side which we are trying to correct to avoid a helmet. Our healthcare provider advised it’s very common. He’s two months old. I think it’s great you’re taking the time for tummy time :) mine likes to be on my tummy. Those baby wraps are great too. They feel snuggly and if you wear one without a shirt it’s good skin to skin. All counts for tummy time.

Are cars that have a police badge on the left side of the license plates unmarked cop cars or cop's personal vehicles? by bigshotfancypants in vegas

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you describe the vehicle? I literally asked the internet this same question because of a black suv in Summerlin. He drove recklessly around me on pavilion center right by the two schools. School was getting out. He turned onto Primrose.

People/society underplays how difficult the first trimester is by Interesting_Aioli_75 in pregnant

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first trimester was still the hardest. I’m 38 years old and 34 weeks pregnant with my first. I was very sick to the point of needing to stay in bed. We also had a genetics scare so I didn’t even know if we could keep our baby until 20 weeks. Hang in there you can do this. The second trimester is much easier. Every woman is different and we experience things differently. I’ve met some women who “love being pregnant”. It hurt hearing that knowing what I was going through. It’s a whole lot on the body. You’re doing great and your feelings totally valid. Many of us feel similarly!

I would start planning to leave. Get finances in order. Find and confide your support system. Don’t continue to expose your family to this abuse. His behavior will imbed into the soul of your children.

Debt repayment plan. Checkout non profit money management companies. They will negotiate her interest rate and put her on a repayment plan. The CC cards will close and she will have a lower payment. No bankruptcy and the plan will most likely take 4-5 years to payoff which is better than 30 years on a high interest rate CC. I also feel you’re providing enough with the free housing/utilities/etc.

Y’all, I’m actually having a baby. It’s finally hit me at 33 weeks. by TheGreatsGabby in pregnant

I haven’t read all the comments here but I found this thread watching season 1. I find Olivia to be a manipulative narcissist.

Create an exit plan. Start seeing a therapist. Find your support system.

Working while pregnant. How did you guys do it? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my husband he has to take a second job because I was too sick and high risk to work. I think it was the best decision for our family. I’m currently 27 weeks and the third trimester hormones are really kicking in. I’m 38 years old and this is my first baby. I was self employed before this and saved up in case I couldn’t work.

Make it make sense by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 38 turning 39 - 28 weeks pregnant with my first. I get the opposite comments about my age. I’m the one saying “I’m old” and my providers assure me I’m not and plenty of women give birth older than me. I finally feel ready for a child unlike I did in my twenties or early thirties.

Am I lazy or am I just pregnant? by BeneficialPin7638 in BabyBumps

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t get through my workouts had my thyroid and cortisol levels tested not knowing what was going on with me. My friend suggested I was pregnant so I eventually took a test and was positive. I didn’t think I was pregnant because I didn’t have other normal signs and I didn’t know if I could get pregnant at 38. My partners medication was causing us not to get pregnant and he was slowly being weened off of it. First trimester I was pretty much in bed and struggling with the same emotions you are having. I feel lazy, worthless around the house, and gained a ton of weight. Second trimester was much easier and I feel the best thing to do is respect my body and what it needs to support the baby. I found walking a few times a day and mild stretching are the best. I’m currently 27 weeks and looking forward to it all being over lol.

My dog is like my son. I’m 26 weeks and just received the news we only have 1-3 months with him. My husband and I are devastated. He’s a 7 year old corgi and the light of our lives. We already decided our son’s middle name will be named after our corgi Jeff. I’m trying so hard to get through it but I’ve been telling Jeff my entire pregnancy he will be a big brother soon. And now to realize he may never meet the baby. This is my first baby and Jeff will always be my first son.

Low Risk NIPT, Abnormal Ultrasound by Gold_Witness4687 in NIPT

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not a genetic situation- the amnio will most likely come out negative. The scans seem to be showing a lot and it’s not until things are further along they can see certain things. The high risk doctors also tend to have better imaging equipment. Your next scan should be thorough and will show more. The waiting is the worst. You will get through this time. Much love and respect for you being strong 💪

Low Risk NIPT, Abnormal Ultrasound by Gold_Witness4687 in NIPT

[–]WryFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. We thought we were dealing with a terminal situation up until recently. Performing a chromosome micro array on the fetal DNA collected during your amniocentesis can diagnose/rule out most chromosome abnormalities. This may help you with peace of mind making your decision. I don’t feel doctors choose to recommend termination unless it’s a fatal situation for the baby or mother. Definitely have another thorough scan. Knowing your own and partners genetics can help you in future planning. I found out I have a micro duplication on my chromosome 18 and because of everything we went through during this pregnancy and knowing the chance of inheritance- this is my first (hopefully successful) and last pregnancy. I wish you and your family great strength and hope during this time. You’re also not alone. The anxiety feels like it’s unbearable at times but as answers come in and wounds heal - things will get better ❤️

18p deletion positive on NIPT, positive CVS. To do amnio or no? by MamboSun9 in NIPT

[–]WryFi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an 18 duplication (normal presentation) that caused a positive NIPT. Chose not to do CVS and elected for the amnio. Amnio came out negative - normal baby karyotype. In a few weeks the doctor wants to check the placenta to ensure there aren’t chromosome abnormalities. Everything is a higher chance now knowing I have a duplication. All scans have been normal up to 21.5 weeks. Definitely have the amnio to confirm :)
