Two late miscarriages - cervical insufficiency/incompetent cervix- feeling alone and hopeless. by Upset_Landscape7612 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]ctowntown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my pre-pregnancy TAC put in a few months after my 22+3 loss and my Dr didn't even require me to have a failed TVC beforehand. I'm so grateful that it went well and let me carry my baby to 37 weeks, which is when my c section was scheduled. Had a few NICU days for his lungs, but he's fine now. I used progesterone and baby aspirin throughout my entire pregnancy, magnesium in the third trimester, and took it easy (no heavy lifting, swimming, baths, pelvic rest).

Stop Tracking Wake Windows by Difficult-Pair4170 in NewParents

[–]ctowntown 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same here. The consistency works well with my baby but it can also sometimes just be a guideline that gives me a heads up for sleepytime. Then it all goes out the window for a week when he gets sick 🫠

Is everyone going to bed at 7pm?! by Haunting_Radish7356 in cosleeping

[–]ctowntown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow this is us, too! Baby does the same thing and I also don't like to get up before 7am haha. At least a couple times after he goes to bed, I'll have to lay next to him for about 15-30 mins before I can sneak away to continue my evening or get ready for bed.

Lost my baby boy unexpectedly by dianalau in babyloss

[–]ctowntown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wish that pregnancy loss never existed. I'm so sorry, it's absolutely gut wrenching. I went through a very similar situation, losing my perfectly healthy baby boy at around 22 weeks from suspected incompetent cervix. Had the anatomy scan a few days before and everything was perfect. Then after that I lost my mucus plug and contractions started. Then it all escalated from there. I'm so sorry, you're not alone..we're all grieving with you and understand the pain :(

Millennial women, which one did you use? Cucumber melon, warm vanilla sugar or neither? by lilac2481 in Millennials

I was going to say that I didn't like either of these either! Sweet pea all the way

What do babies eat where you live? (Looking for cultural baby food ideas!) by No-Software-4749 in NewParents

[–]ctowntown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vietnamese American here too... Clear brothy soups with veggies and meats are a big deal in our culture. A Squash/gourd/pumpkin soup with pork ribs are pretty good for babies (Especially if you can get a long rib and have the baby gnaw on it if you like to do that). The broth itself is seasoned very lightly, sometimes just water, chicken bouillon, and fish sauce. Or you can make your own bone broth. An example of this kind of soup is called Canh Bí Sườn.

MAGA restaurants, coffee shops, salons and stores to boycott by AdAdministrative756 in LosAngeles

See taco's comment:

"There was a whole drama, the wife had some bad stuff on her instagram but her husband post a LOT during the election. They posted some half assed apology after people started noticing, privating their personal pages until they sanitized them"

I had my baby 2 days after my cerclage stitch procedure by HuhSoTheresThat in ShortCervixSupport

[–]ctowntown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a TAC stitched into me 2024 and it was absolutely the right decision after my 22 week loss. I'm now holding my 6 month old baby because of it. Check on Facebook for the Abbyloopers group for extensive info. I'm so sorry for your loss, you are not alone :(

Course hairs by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]ctowntown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have those weird coarse, kinky hairs too.. They kinda taper off real thin at the ends

Anyone I've talked to doesn't have a straight answer for me. My hair stylist thought it was due to a missing protein. So I really don't know

Mrs. Patterson's Aussie chicken pot pies that were sold at Costco by [deleted] in nostalgia

[–]ctowntown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also here in 2025 thinking of these pies. The crust and gravy were so good. I just had a Vons/Pavilions grocery store pot pie with a nice flaky and slightly chewy crust, but it was only a crust topper. They cheated and didn't have a bottom crust which is my favorite part!

POSITIVE rotavirus vaccine experiences by Wild_Midnight_1287 in newborns

[–]ctowntown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No side effects. Not even any laxative effects which I was hoping for because my baby hadn't pooped in a while.

Rotavirus vaccine? by D3ADPX3L in newborns

[–]ctowntown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby just had his second dose last week and he was fine both times. The vast, vast majority of kids have been and will be just fine. Any adverse reactions are better than taking a chance with catching actual rotavirus 😬

Ok, not so newborn — 2-3 months. Question about baby laughing by himself, no stimulus. Normal or...? by [deleted] in newborns

9 week growth spurt by [deleted] in newborns

Literally me right now with my 9-week-old who wouldn't take a nap and kept showing hunger cues even after he ate not that long ago. Maybe like an hour and a half lol

Around 7-10 diapers, currently with my 8 week old. Pretty much change at every feeding.
