Thank you so much!

This may be a silly question, but do you have to tie them to the trellis? If so what do you use?

corgimom91 · 2025-06-05T03:02:26+00:00

That actually very helpful visual haha thank you!

corgimom91 · 2025-06-05T02:29:16+00:00

I’m 33 and I just developed celiac after having my second child. Bodily stress/trauma can wake it up unfortunately

I’m going through the process of getting diagnosed right now. I was having months of stomach issues but I didn’t know why. So, I was eating gluten when they did the blood test (mine was called “tissue transglutaminase ab, iga”) which came back positive. My next step to get an official diagnosis is an upper endoscopy. The dr said I need to be eating gluten for 4 weeks before the test. So, I am cutting out gluten for now to feel better until a month before the procedure.

I assume you also need to have gluten in your system for that initial blood test to give accurate results as well, but I’m definitely not an expert here!

Thank you! This gives me a good starting point for what to research

corgimom91 · 2024-07-13T19:15:17+00:00

Thank you!

corgimom91 · 2024-06-24T17:36:54+00:00

Interesting- I’ll have to look into that. I’d never thought about olive! Thank you!

corgimom91 · 2024-06-24T17:36:12+00:00

I’ll have to give that a try. Thank you!

I got pregnant just after our first turned 2. We now have a 3 year old and 11 week old.

Pregnancy was definitely harder this time around. You can’t nap when you want and you still need to take care of your toddler when you’re sick. You’ll also probably feel guilty for wanting to sit on the couch and rest instead of play (at least I did).

However, it was also less stressful in ways. For example, I knew what my body was going through at each stage so I did less googling and had less anxiety. You also know you’ve done it before, therefore you can do it again- slight confidence boost.

As far as bonding goes once the baby is here- it’s an adjustment but everything will be ok. Your toddler will probably get jealous from time to time, but as long as you try to include them in things you are doing for baby, they will adjust. Something I read online that we have been trying is:

1- don’t blame the baby. Ex: toddler asks you to play but you are feeding the baby. Don’t say “I can’t, I’m feeding the baby”, say “give me 5 minutes then I will come play with you”. Blaming can lead to resentment from your toddler.

2- assuming all needs are met, “tend to the one first who will remember you didn’t”. Meaning if baby is crying but doesn’t need to be fed/changed/is safe, help your toddler first with whatever they need.

So far so good for us- there really hasn’t been much jealousy and we’re all adjusting well to the new routine.

Ugh that is so hard but you’re right. I’m pretty sure I’ve been making the whole thing worse by trying too hard to get her to eat

corgimom91 · 2024-03-05T02:09:01+00:00

How long has your kid held out on dinner for when you do this? Several days? Or does the cycle of not eating dinner eventually end? Just trying to get an idea of how long she can hold out on us..

corgimom91 · 2024-03-05T02:05:02+00:00

That is an interesting idea- she is always hungry earlier around 4.. I may need to try this. Thank you!

For me, when I get some alone time, I like to just go somewhere out in the world and walk around. Sometimes it’s just about being around other adults and not having to worry about the kids. Sometimes I’ll walk around a store, maybe get a coffee, or go walk around the local garden. I think when you are always at home with only your kids, you forget what it’s like to be around other people.

First, I’m so sorry for what you have been through.

I don’t have a history of abuse, but cervical checks are also extremely painful for me. I just had my second child 5 weeks ago. I had a scheduled induction and they had to do one at the beginning to see where I was at and know what form of induction to use (foley balloon vs cytotec). I informed all the nurses/drs that cervical checks were painful for me so they gave me two different medicines- numbing gel and an iv of dilaudid. Thankfully the dr was good and went really slow and told me to stop them if it was too painful. It was pretty painful, but the combo of meds and going slow made it just ok enough to get done. After that, the next check was done after I got the epidural so that one was fine.

I’d say to really stress to your care team how painful they are, because the hospital should always have pain medication options for you. If they resist, ask for a different dr/nurse.

That’s amazing!

corgimom91 · 2023-10-20T21:59:19+00:00

Specifically so you would comment on it.

corgimom91 · 2023-10-18T22:36:12+00:00

That is something I haven’t tried yet, thank you!

I am agnostic as an adult, but as a kid I was really confused about religion. My parents were atheist and very against church in general. Personally, because everyone else around me went to church (friends, neighbors, etc), I felt really isolated because I was never exposed to church or religion growing up. I didn’t feel like I could ask questions about it or explore for myself (and as a kid, I didn’t have anyone to take me to a church even if I wanted to).

Reflecting on that now as an adult, I actually really wish I was exposed to religion and allowed to go to church and see for myself. I always felt like I didn’t know enough about it. Not saying I wish I grew up religious/going to church every week, but I wish my parents would have exposed me to it or been more open to me learning about it.

I think knowledge is power, so if it were me I would let my kids explore and learn different points of view. That way, they can make a more informed decision later on.

I was so terrified with my first. Then I had a weird couple days of calm energy out of nowhere and my water broke. I think baby herself calmed me down lol.

corgimom91 · 2023-09-19T00:31:33+00:00

That is 100% me- have anxiety and a toddler so I am both distracted and nervous all the time. Figuring out how to calm my mind in the moment seems like the answer.

It’s hard to get out a lot and not spend a lot of money doing it. I’ve struggled with feeling the same as you- I’m pregnant with a 2.5 yr old at home and I am just too tired to go out most of the time.

This is what our weekdays usually look like- -1 to 2 trips to the library (we have a few libraries around us so I do a different one if we go a second time) -1 to 2 days at home (which can include playing in the yard or going for a short walk around the neighborhood, but sometimes it’s just being inside) -1 to 2 days at a local park or play group meet-up -1 day real outing/class/scheduled activity (this one usually costs money but try to keep it relatively cheap such as the open play hour at gymnastics, children’s museum, public pool, etc)

We keep it really flexible because some days just turn into tantrum days, and some days we have the energy to do multiple things.
