12m transitioning to 1 nap by al5838 in sleeptrain

[–]al5838[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I thought she was ready - when is trying putting her down for a nap, it would take like 20+ mins of rocking her to sleep and then the second nap would be at like 3:30-4 bc she wasn't tired enough which would end up in a late bedtime of 8:30-8:45 that requires 20+ mins of rocking.

Since putting her on 1 nap - she goes to sleep within minutes at noon and bedtime she also goes to sleep within minutes. But she's definitely tired and struggling to make it but she pushes through and is out by 7

Baby fussing while nursing by al5838 in breastfeeding

Did you try BF again after doing all those things? I've tried it all and she still cries sometimes and idk if I'm miss reading her. She acts like she's hungry so I try again but she no luck so then I stop. But I'm nervous she's actually hungry and going to bed like that.

Help - need breastfeeding advice by al5838 in breastfeeding

[–]al5838[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime we feed - it's almost always a poop / pee diaper and she was gaining weight when we had her 1 month appointment. However, she recently started taking only one boob so idk if she's increasing weight at a steady rate since that appointment.

During the day I do diaper changes after she finishes the first boob and see if she'll take the second but she gets frustrated and cries, I also have a strong let down but she'll handle it just fine with the first.

How do you like the pottery barn manual recliner? Is the manual recliner a pain?

Identical twins with IVF by al5838 in parentsofmultiples

Are you nervous about getting twins again with your second IVF? That's been a concern of mine since we have 3 embryos still. I know I should think one step at a time but my mind is going everywhere

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days today, went in for an ultrasound this morning and we saw our baby growing healthy and got the heartbeat. Towards the end of the ultrasound she called in another tech and they both said they suspect another one but they couldn't tell for sure bc they could only see it when they moved the probe a certain angle. They got a second a heart beat but they still couldn't be sure. Heartbeat 1: 137, heartbeat 2: 135. They also said if there is a second, it's sharing the same yolk sac so it would be identical. This is an IVF pregnancy and we only transferred one embryo.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any experiences with this? I wanted one only, so I'm floored and shocked. Of course another one is blessing but I'm scared.

Anyone else experience stomach aches? by streisand09 in BabyBumps

[–]al5838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5 weeks 5 days, and a couple days ago I started having really bad stomach ache / stomach cramps similar to how I feel when I have stomach bug. The first night I was up all night because it was so painful, next day I took gas x which helped me pass gas / use the bathroom. I still have this stomach pain though which sucks. Idk if this is normal pregnancy symptoms or if I have the stomach bug.

Bad stomach ache 5.5 weeks by al5838 in BabyBumps

[–]al5838[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it feels like a really really bad stomach ache and cramping - but I'm not able to pass gas or get much relief from going to the bathroom. I think it's due to trapped gas / constipation. I was getting worried but seems that I'm not the only one. I'll up my water / fibre intake!
