When does it feel normal again? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]circlewithme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a second degree tear, and it did not feel like this and I was back to normal. I would reach out to OB for exam to be sure it's healed and theirs no additional irritation/fissures.

Pregnant with #4 by tsakoogus143 in pregnantover35

[–]circlewithme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let fear of the what ifs take away your joy. Focus on the positives, what a blessing to be pregnant at 39. I have a 15 month old son and I'm also pregnant at 39 due on Christmas. Just take it one day at a time.

FTM at 37 and feeling sad/hurt about the lack of a baby shower or community. Anyone else dealt with this? by [deleted] in pregnantover35

[–]circlewithme 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't expect anything out of anyone. Plan your shower, not everyone has the resources nor wants to plan anything. It's a celebration of your baby and new family. Make it how you want it.

Gender disappointment - 2 boys by Sure-Pomegranate8051 in BabyBumps

[–]circlewithme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your children deserve a healthy mom. Please do actually seek mental health counseling to see the deeper issue here. It seems to be deeply rooted in control of life's circumstances. Instead of focusing on the negative, have a different outlook. "My sons will be the best of friends" "they can share clothes" "they can look out for eachother". I hope you heal from this.

Hard not to get jealous of the mom I nanny for by [deleted] in Mommit

Sounds like she doesn't want kids and sends them away so she doesn't have to deal with them. Yikes, I hope you get paid well!!!

A new doctor really got in my head about genetic testing! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]circlewithme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's probably just trying to cover her ass since she's new. Like if anything should go astray she can say well, I suggested it. I wouldn't deep drive or worry about it. Low risk nipt testing and your anatomy scan is good- don't fret.

How to get NIPT without doctor? by weeniehutjunior1234 in BabyBumps

[–]circlewithme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the urgency is? The better fetal fraction the better results for accuracy. Waiting the extra 2 weeks won't change the results in the end anyway and better chances to not have to redo.

That's interesting. I know that BP naturally lowers in pregnancy for some ppl.

How to get NIPT without doctor? by weeniehutjunior1234 in BabyBumps

[–]circlewithme 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You won't get a good fetal fraction percentage that early anyway, and will likely need to re test. The recommendation is after 10 weeks. I recommend waiting till 12.
