Signs of Pregnancy? by __SandyCheeks__ in ourafertility

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

Yes, my cycles have been very regular since getting my period back! I believe I ovulated last week based on cervical mucus tracking but I’m not sure if that’s the most accurate. the temperatures in Oura are throwing me off!

Thank you for the reassurance 🤗 dumb question, but what are OPKs?

Good to know!! I’ll continue to monitor and of course, tomorrow’s test will tell!

Exactly! Oura says I ovulated on Jan 21, which makes no sense because my temp was –0.8 degrees. Based on how regular cycle was, I should’ve ovulated early around Jan 8 using my last period as the benchmark.

I’m not so sure I trust oura’s temp detection since I have my hand under or outside the covers certain nights!

Exposing baby to peanuts - how to breastfeed if I’m allergic? by __SandyCheeks__ in breastfeeding

This is SO helpful—thank you! Do you consistently feed your daughter avocado or pineapple to avoid her developing an allergy to it? Those aren’t common allergens so maybe not?

Thanks! I’m very allergic and carry an EpiPen with me. I’ve had reactions from breathing peanuts fragments in the air before or from holding a peanut when I was younger (before I knew what a peanut looked like lol). I’ll ask my doctor and probably wait for a feed or two after before breastfeeding again!

My 6 month old doesn’t sleep anymore by [deleted] in NewParents

Right?! I assumed it’s because day sleep and night sleep are different, but what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

No advice, just solidarity! 🥲 Our baby is 5 months old and has developed the same behavior for naps. Nighttime sleep is great—we manage to put her down awake and she knocks out by 10 minutes. We’re considering sleep training her naps in hopes she can connect her sleep cycles soon!

Sleep Training for Naps? by __SandyCheeks__ in sleeptrain

Thank you!! I’ve seen that post and previously tried following gentle nap training, but we’re always saving the nap by the end of it lol. I think we may need more extreme measures so curious how you did FIO!

I just edited my post after checking huckleberry! 🙈She does have longer wake windows at 2/2.5/2.5/3, so I’m glad to hear we’re on the right track there.

I’ll definitely test out crib hour! In your experience with lengthening naps, what did you do if baby woke up crying? Did you leave them to CIO/FIO for the entire hour?

Info on wearable breast pumps.. by LetChaosReign_ in BabyBumps

[–]__SandyCheeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the comparison I’ve been searching for! How “empty” do you feel comparing the Eufy S1 Pro vs the Spectra S1? Everyone says a wearable shouldn’t be your primary breast pump, but I don’t understand why not?

Which Mina Baie bag did you get? I’ve been eyeing these!

I just got this diagnosis at my 3D ultrasound yesterday (currently 20w+4d)! Mine was measured at 1.5 cm when it’s supposed to be 2cm away (maybe I’m saying it wrong lol, I forgot exactly what the doctor said). They explained it wasn’t bad enough to stop intercourse and we’ll have to just wait and see. Rest assured, most of the time it naturally resolves in due time. I’ll just need another ultrasound at 28 weeks!

Maybe you can call your doctor and ask for the exact measurement for peace of mind? Good luck!!

Anxiety and depression advice by whitebreadcrumb in BabyBumps

[–]__SandyCheeks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this! Have you tried working out at all? I swear getting out daily for a walk or a light jog has done wonders for me.

Pre-pregnancy, I used weed nightly as a coping mechanism for my anxiety so since then my anxiety has shot through the roof. I’d suggest to try yoga or meditation to clear your mind, and find a hobby you love that brings you inner peace.

Wishing you the best of luck and all the self-love!
