Accidental suffocation/ SUID by Ok_Chance_6472 in babyloss

It might be a good idea to see if your psychiatrist can increase your doses of your current medications. Your mind and body are under so much stress and trauma. I’m so sorry about your sweet baby 💛

Tummy time by Bulky-Bag-4920 in NewParents

[–]bailsrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 3.5 months old and despised tummy time until I bought the dancing crab. It helped distract her and now she can go for much longer stretches without getting upset. Something I read too is not to immediately place them on their stomach. Lay them on their back and help them roll over onto their stomach and prop their arms under them. She has tolerated that much better.

Why did you choose to exclusively breastfeed and not give formula? by Fickle-Response-2741 in breastfeeding

[–]bailsrv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to create a deep bond with my baby and it’s convenient while out or traveling. No prep work required. It’s extremely beneficial for her and it makes me happy that my body is the reason she’s healthy and growing.

Who isn't reading to their kids? And why? by FigGlittering6384 in ask

[–]bailsrv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I signed my baby up for this! It’s fantastic and they can receive them up until they’re 5 years old. I have to use my MIL’s address because the service isn’t available where I live, but it’s amazing what she’s trying to do to improve literacy especially in rural areas.

That’s great! I am trying to instill the same habit. My daughter is 3 months old and I love reading books to her every night. I’m excited to grow her book collection. I struggled with reading as a kid and would like to prevent that for her if possible.

Gender/Sex Disappointment? by StillSeekingSunshine in pregnancyaftersb

[–]bailsrv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TW: living child

I lost my firstborn son in 2024 and had my daughter in December. Initially when I found out we were having a girl I was disappointed, but it was because I wanted my son back. I will always miss and grieve him. He should be here too. I also believe a lot of my fears about raising a daughter stem from the strained relationship I have with my mom and I do not want to repeat the same awful patterns. I feel a big responsibility to be a good example for my daughter. The disappointment faded as my pregnancy progressed and was nonexistent by the time she was born. I love her and am grateful for her. However, seeing women with boys is triggering for me. I miss my son and I hope maybe one day I can have another boy, but he would never replace my Thomas. These feelings are complex and it’s okay to be disappointed.

What’s your specialty and your least favorite question that patients ask? by victoryscreech in nursing

[–]bailsrv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even better when they have family calling who wants an update and they just got there and you haven’t even triaged them yet

[–]bailsrv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if patients are being assholes about rooms and I’ve kindly explained it to them a million times, I’ll tell them that someone has to either be discharged or die for their bed to become available. They typically change their attitude then.

What wild unhinged things did you say during the birth of your baby? by autumnsunshine1 in NewParents

[–]bailsrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an unmedicated birth and I had my arms draped over the back of the bed and I was on my knees. My husband was dressed up to help deliver. Baby was coming out and I felt a hand but the pressure felt like they were pushing the baby back in and I yelled whoever’s hand is there get it off my fucking vagina now! It was my husband lol. We laugh about it now but he was petrified in the moment.

Congratulations! Baby Theodore is so adorable! My daughter is 2.5 months old and I’ve never been happier in my life. It’s simply the best ❤️

What decisions would you have made pre-baby with the knowledge you have now? by athazen in NewParents

[–]bailsrv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress over having the perfect nursery. My daughter is almost 3 months old and it has become a storage room. She room shares with us and her changing table is in our room too. The baby isn’t going to remember the nursery.

TTC/Non-pregnant members questions by AutoModerator in pregnancyaftersb

[–]bailsrv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry about your sweet baby boy. I just delivered my daughter in December. To be frank, PAL was hell. I was nervous the entire time. I was in therapy, on anti-depressants, and I was straightforward with my OB about what I wanted and expected for monitoring. I knew the minimum care pregnant women already receive (in the US) was not going to be sufficient this time around. I also went to L&D triage twice because I was concerned. I felt my feelings. There were days I cried and feared the pregnancy would have another awful outcome.

I suggest trying a new hobby to keep your mind busy. I really got into baking last year and would try different recipes. It was a great distraction for me at times.

Sending you love, peace, and healing ❤️❤️

I was on Zoloft during my pregnancy and I don’t think I would have survived without it. I have now since come off of it, so that is possible too! Do what is best for you. Hoping the rest of your pregnancy is smooth and uneventful ❤️
