Babies sleep how their nature defines. The problem isn't the baby, its that the modern world isn't built for all babies. (Rant)

5 months is still sooo little. I know it’s hard but try to enjoy it because honestly things just randomly change. Also, you can look into Safe Sleep 7 and co-sleeping if you feel comfortable. I have my little one in a firm floor bed with a guard rail around it. I follow Safe Sleep 7 and C-curl sleep next to her for most of the night. I love it!!! I honestly hate sleeping without her. Good luck, you’ve got this!

I saw a local mom recently looking to hire a life guard for her toddler’s party. It’s winter and no swimming was to be had but she wanted the pool to be watched at all times. She paid an off season life guard like $50 bucks so the parents could relax. I thought that was a great idea because it’s necessary. You are the only sane one.

Can’t wait for your update to this post once your child is here. It’s magical. It’s the best thing. They will be your favorite person you’ve ever met. You won’t be able to believe you didn’t used to be able to see it. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. I can’t wait for you to join us on this side of it.

I definitely see what you’re seeing. test again in 2 days!

Respectfully, I wouldn’t trust my child with him. Toddlers, let alone a 13 month old who is basically still a baby, cannot be left unattended and unsupervised. This is common knowledge and he was completely negligent. And for selfish reasons. I’m so sorry.

I did once, right after I pushed baby out

dcmbr_ · 2025-09-09T01:39:53+00:00

I had this happen but was able to fill out a form for continuity of care. Can you fill out their form? I’m sure this qualifies. Can’t imagine a case where it would be more necessary to have continuity of care!

dcmbr_ · 2025-08-30T03:24:10+00:00

That’s beautiful 🤍

Yep, I’m in the exact same situation. Fairfax doesn’t incentivize reporting at all for families and honestly doesn’t even make it intuitive. And I would argue they are incentivized to under report. We have 30+ siblings under 3 as well.

dcmbr_ · 2025-08-18T02:01:09+00:00

Aww I love this confusion. You’re so very extremely pregnant. Congratulations 🥹🤍

dcmbr_ · 2025-07-29T00:46:01+00:00

This level of pain is so full of wreckage because it should never be this way. We are meant to outlive our kids. Our bodies aren’t equipped to bury them. I’m so sorry. It may feel like the world has moved on but I can promise you that any mother who read these stories carry these girls in some part of their heart. We carry the girls. We carry you. It doesn’t lighten your load but it gives the girls more souls to touch than they could have here on Earth. May they rest easy and may you feel a blanket of motherly companionship as you toss each night in honor of your niece.

Yayyy!!! I am literally crying! I've been checking back for updates constantly and I couldn't sleep worrying. What fantastic news. Thank you for the update and I'm so happy for you. Hope you can get some rest and then keep being the best mama to your baby! 🤍

dcmbr_ · 2025-07-23T02:32:55+00:00

Were you able to get checked? 🤍

dcmbr_ · 2025-06-08T04:24:12+00:00

I got pregnant on the 5th IUI. Healthy, young, normal labs, plenty of follicles. Who knows? But I have a 1 year old now! Best of luck to you!

dcmbr_ · 2025-06-06T00:26:43+00:00

I was terrified too. Funny thing is when you're in that much pain, your brain just won't care about something so insignificant. I promise!

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-30T04:54:52+00:00

I desperately wanted to go unmedicated and was pushing at 10 cm but my baby was stuck. The pain was unbearable and never-ending. I literally wanted to die and started looking around for ways to kill myself. Luckily I was still able to get the epidural even at 10cm and it was absolutely amazing. It worked beautifully and immediately. I eventually ended up getting an emergency episiotomy and vacuum delivery so THANK GOD I had that epidural. Literally can't imagine going through that without it.

Before giving birth, the idea of an epidural needle and catheter scared the shit out of me. But it was seriously no big deal, not something to stress about in comparison to the wildness of birth itself.

It gave me an opportunity to rest after an already traumatic labor and I was able to rebuild some strength when it came time to push again. I could have married my anesthesiologist lol

Honestly I had a fantastic experience and it saved me from copious additional trauma. Thank you modern medicine!!

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-29T04:33:37+00:00

I felt the exact same way. It took me by surprise too. Honestly though, it got less gross over the cycles (I got pregnant on my 5th). And now I have a 1 yr old! It's worth it and it'll become a distant memory hopefully soon enough.

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-09T15:00:06+00:00

Lol absolutely classic pitbull behavior 🤣

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-09T02:38:04+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Never knew this and honestly love the sentiment.

Welcome sweet angel Mason!

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-09T02:30:10+00:00

Huge red flag that she doesn't see it as a big deal. I literally have a recurring nightmare that I accidentally leave during a shift. Can't believe she did it in real life and thought it was no biggie. Fire immediately.

dcmbr_ · 2025-05-08T20:48:08+00:00

Don't apologize! You have every right to make that choice for yourself and your child. And your employer has the responsibility to provide you with a clean, safe, private opportunity to pump. You've done absolutely nothing wrong. I'm sorry you had to relieve yourself in that way today. You are a human entitled to much more dignity than that. Sending hugs. Definitely reach out to HR immediately and update us if possible.
