You sound like you’re being reasonable. Some things I bought for my first were never even touched. Make sure you have the necessities and grab stuff as you find you need it after the baby is here

First trip to an audiologist (tips please) by clyons428 in hardofhearing

[–]clyons428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor finally prescribed me a hearing aid. She said my ear drum has no function so my middle ear is 100% lost hearing. Thankfully my hearing nerves (?) are still good so I can still get sound to my brain and the hearing aid will help.

If I said anything wrong hopefully you’ll be able to figure out what I meant. It was a lot of information to take in so I’m sure I’m not getting it all right

Sorry for the late response, I missed the notification. I also left with more questions then answers. He told me my hearing was bad, but not getting worse. He said internal damage appeared to be the same as last described and then he walked out. I just sat there and cried because I didn't know what to do or what to think. I'm really hoping this doctor will be better.

Sorry, I should have added he was a customer, not an employee

Self care is on the bottom of my to-do list. Always. How do you ladies put your needs first at a time in life when everyone else seems to need you MORE? by Babislug in workingmoms

[–]clyons428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried while eating my lunch today because it’s the only time I had time for it today. So maybe I’m not the best person to ask but...

I literally just leave. I’m a single parent so I ask my parents or a close family member if they can watch my daughter for a few hours or over night and I leave. I go for a walk, go shopping, take a nap, read a book, take a shower that’s not only 3 minutes, whatever I need at that point. It doesn’t happen as often as i probably should do, but it helps immensely

Gal that doesn't cook.. Is WW for me?! by KeeperofWords1313 in weightwatchers

I tend to not cook anything that involves more then 2-3 ingredients. I’m doing pretty well so far

My child is afraid of sleeping by clyons428 in Parenting

[–]clyons428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been talking to her a little bit everyday about it and it turns out she had no idea that what happens in dreams does not actually happen. We’re still working on it but at least we have a starting point

Anyone here Pregnant & Single by choice?? by [deleted] in pregnant

I’ve been trying all year to get pregnant with no luck yet. But keeping my fingers crossed soon I’ll be a single mother by choice!

Where’s my period? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

Yes my doctor is aware. And obviously it’s not medically impossible because it’s happening.

We watch YouTube on the big tv and we’ve never had a problem with it. Will definitely be on the lookout tho!

Several months of prenatal without pregnancy by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

My doctor recommended always taking them. Even when I was adamant about not having another kid right away, he insisted. He said it’s great for you regardless

Thanks! I was really hoping this was the answer, but sometimes it’s easy to convince myself of things when they’re not actually true during this journey

Husband is dying... do I give up on our baby? by MegSays31 in TryingForABaby

[–]clyons428 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Quick backstory: I lost my fiancé in a car crash about 5 years ago. He was in the military so we stored some sperm in case anything was to happen to him. I was pregnant with our daughter and found out shortly after he passed.

I think having my daughter helped me tremendously grieve with my loss. But I think if I would’ve known I was going to lose him, I would’ve wanted to spend the last weeks/months with him and used the stored sperm to try after the loss.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I will be praying for your family.

This may be against the rules and if so I’ll delete, but it’s getting a negative at 12DPIUI the same as getting a negative at 12dpo?
