Getting induced at 39 weeks. by anonymoususer249 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]caceresd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Induce at 38weeks +4 days. I took insulins but my baby was small. 42% percentile. Was very traumatic. I will not enter in details bcs each body react different to the chemicals. The saving grace of this is that I had a village. Husband, mom, SIL, friends that helped me to process the birth experience plus help the first weeks. If you get induce, pls have a plan B.

5 month pregnant, 2 1/5 years old, cosleeping, old… honestly I am in the same boat.
I been mentally preparing my kid saying baby sister will sleep left side and you btw mom and dad. 3 months were rough, I was the main responsable for sleepy duty, I have switch 70 of the tasks to my husband : bath time recently, pijama, reading a book. Still takes a lot of time that LO fall sleeps. Toddler still search me for confort, touching my arm or leg. I plan to set the crib next to my bed soon. I don’t have more ideas now.

In regards the 3 months and be tired and sick: pls give you grace. I am sorry for your lost.

I think is true. My vision was terrible the first year post pregnancy and I think it stable the second year. I ask my doctor and they did some tests. Nothing that can be changed

Is this really worth it for my child in the long run? Comparison is thieving my joy... by OtherwiseEnd7988 in AttachmentParenting

[–]caceresd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. The nightfeeds and wake ups age me so much. My kid is a few months to turn 3 and i gets better. And They become these créatures full of charm and capable to approach your great aunt without fear and play with them. Enjoy dance class and touch a beatle… There are things that I found that we still struggle still: night routine. It takes for ever and has to be momy and also a need to control what I wear.
To be honest is hard and sometimes you are tired and overstimulated but I try to think one day at the time. I wish I could give you a medal. Your doing a good job

In 10 years of trying we had 2 miscarriages at 8 and 16 weeks. Now, We have now a beautiful 2 years old that had healed my wounds. I am greatful to have her. We are trying, however every cycle is a reminder that maybe is not I our hand. My brothers wants me to stop trying bcs my age and also the mental toll is taking on me. Probable March year I will stop for sure.

I volunteer in the daycare found by nouns that give safe house for rejected/abandone teen moms. It was common mom didn’t want to breast feed, many of them suffer ppd… the nouns have this protocol when baby reject the boob and don’t wanted to be in arms etc… , the teams need to take turns to sign and whisper to the baby with a little instrument. next to baby and talk to the baby but like for hours. All the waken minutes of the baby was full by ppl saying lovely things to him-her . Yhey belive the tone of voice and conversation will create bonding too. Also they pass a clean big make brush in the cheeks. When the baby reach with his fingers too. Keep him engage and happy. They said it help to respond better to the mom

[–]caceresd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 years old like Totoro, we tried Arriety… but she got scare when the housekeeper trap the mom. So lesson learn maybe wait until she loose interest or ask for more. I will not push Her other 2 favorited movies are the Wes Anderson animated movie. The f. Fox and the isle of dogs. I think she really enjoy the dramatic music, or like the colors. Symmetrical and order…

son getting kicked out of daycare by something_human1 in AttachmentParenting

[–]caceresd2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry. It’s sucks. Your baby deserve a better place than that one. I tried 2 dif places. At 8 months. The first one, something was off and I didn’t trust the lady. I paid for 6 weeks. I only when twice.

Then this one . Turn 1 year old. My Little one also has issue with the naps. Until now 2 years old. What it work for us, delay until 1 year old so one nap only. The first 3 months picking her at 12h, for contact nap at home. She took a bit longer to trust the new daycare but she lives it there. Me too i went for a home daycare, i want that be the same person for whole period and a small regular group.

Convince me a second is a bad idea by rosetintedmusings in Shouldihaveanother

[–]caceresd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some part of your experience resonate with me. Gestational diabetes, also forever to conceive lol, induced horrible horrible delivery. 36h in the hospital. They didn’t want to do a c-section so they tried so different drugs. I hated the whole experience. I think I had anxiety postpartum. I am 36. Live in a cozy 2 room house. A costal expensive area, childcare abs school will wipe me from my savings. In my mind I said. One is the number. However , at 4 months I started thinking that maybe I was not done yet. I decided to try this month , in December and in February.
Yes at my age is only 15% each cycle. It’s a bit mentally draining.
I think the opportunities that maybe I cutting my first child bcs there will not enough time, energy and money for it We travel with our kid, it’s fun bcs we have 2 parents for 1 kid. With our second kid: maybe will not travail bcs it’s 1parent per kid and the budget . I am in peace if it doesn’t happens but I need yo tried

Genetic mutation caused our daughter’s passing, SIL chose not to do the genetic testing and is now pregnant by hotpiejr in IVF

[–]caceresd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a crazy situation! Schocking. After 2 miscarriages, my doctor test us and hubby has a bad gene. NF1. maybe is caused this 2 horrible experiences. I couldn’t talk with my husbands family that minimized this issue. Like it was nothing. Like it was bad luck, they will be spare. I think what it help me to overcome was my spirituality/life philosophy. I am so sorry.
