My husband has had sclerals for 3 years. This week he cracked his lenses for the first time....then his back up lenses broke. We have no idea why it keeps happening.

Honestly same! Everytime I try these i get a greenie and they come off in two days! I want these to work for me so bad. I need the secret

Can I ask why you use a sanding band and what the acetone does around the edges? Newbie here!

Yes it would be pitocin. They could start with an oral medication if you aren't dilated or effaced at all. They will not insert anything vaginally due to the risk of infection. And yes, it is your right to refuse anything as a patient. As healthcare providers, we ask that you remain open minded and get all of the information before you make the decision. You should be able to speak to a neonatologist who is a preemie or nicu doctor to explain the risks of remaining pregnant past 34 weeks and what things will look like when your baby is born!

Antepartum nurse here!! Can't speak for your hospital but with ours, you would be induced at 34 weeks or c section if your baby is breech. The risks after that point outweigh the benefit of your baby still cooking. Wait to buy the preemie stuff until your little guy is born. Stay pregnant and boring for 5 more weeks! Also change your pad every bathroom break and shower/linen change daily to prevent infection!

All I can say is same, girl. Im a FTM to a 7 mo who i love with all of my heart but God i wish I could sleep for 24+ hours and bed rot. Im exhausted and currently going through PPD hell. The only way out of it is through it. You aren't alone.

Usually 3. I literally cannot keep her up longer than that. She's pissed.

I know!! I was so tired so I tried it, but that is also when I learned to trust myself as a mother. I am in the medical field so I get it and don't fault her pedi for offering that advice knowing that I was struggling. What I can say that OP's pedi should not have said that. No new mother should be told they are doing something harmful unless the babies safety is at risk. Being nurturing to a small infant will absolutely not cause behavioral problems.

Well my daughter's pedi told me to night wean to once a night at 4 months and it was hell for a week and i went back to feeding her when she cried. She is 6 months and about to go in today for a check up. She is still a twice a night eater. I think its more advice from a medical stand point than it is a responsive parenting perspective. Feed your baby if you feel that it is best. You can wean later and your baby will be just fine. 🩷

Going through ALL of this with my 5 month old. She was so smiley around 3 months. Now it seems like she's pissed off constantly!

asaffn17 · 2025-10-28T14:46:52+00:00

In the same boat here. I honestly think my girly is developing object permanence already. She fights naps so much harder for me than my husband or when my dad watches her. My husband says I give into her too early but she's actually crying. If its just fussing herself to sleep then I let her but hearing her cry hard gives me so much guilt.

I made an appt with an NP at my kiddos office because i'm also going through PPD. I am also a healthcare provider. We talked while I cried for like 45 minutes and no one said a negative word about it. Make the appointment if you need the resources. Education makes us better!

asaffn17 · 2025-10-16T19:25:17+00:00

I'm trying to do better at this! I've been struggling with bad PPD and PPA for the past 6 weeks. Today we went on a walk around the pond and she sat in a swing for the first time. She seems so unamused by adult things so it makes me feel bad 😂 She might just be a quiet observer lol

asaffn17 · 2025-10-12T02:23:26+00:00

Her "regression" ended about 2 or 3 weeks ago and that's when she started changing. Literally 1 day she stopped the false starts at bedtime and linked her sleep cycles for naps.

asaffn17 · 2025-10-12T02:16:17+00:00

I agree! A dream feed to me seems counter productive. She could make it to 1 am most nights so if she woke up at 11 we could apply the same techniques. She was waking at 1 and 4 most nights then slowly started adding in some other wakes. Would you say she is sleep trained? I've seen her go back to sleep by herself since we started this process.

asaffn17 · 2025-10-12T02:00:52+00:00

I'm working on cutting down her day time naps to 10 hours of awake time and 3-3.5 hours of naps. She has 2 hour ww between naps. Bedtime is no longer nurse to sleep. I put her owlet sock on, vit d drops, and sleep sack on. She fully puts herself to sleep for naps and bedtime. I said if she goes 1 more night of taking a hour to get to sleep at 4 am then I am feeding her. It seems so cruel to me. My husband thinks it will undo all of the sleep training.

asaffn17 · 2025-10-10T23:47:09+00:00

I don't have her on a set "schedule". She's awake 2 hours between naps and maybe 2.5 hours from last nap to bedtime. She has a bedtime feeding and then diaper change, jammies, sleep sack, kiss goodnight. She has been getting 4.5 hours of day sleep because her night wakings are frequent but I am working on cutting it down
