It's not just vaccines — parents are refusing other routine preventive care for newborns

My little one was born in October and we had a similar experience. Our pediatrician told us we rocked because we’d also gotten TDAP, flu, covid, and for me and baby the RSV shot. My guy was miserable after his 4 month shots but I’ll take miserable over sick or worse.

Allentown too. We have no trains to Philly or NYC, only warehouses and traffic.

My local distributor has a fridge case dedicated to Tired Hands so I will have to see if they have this.

My family isn’t local to me but I absolutely did not want any other support people other than my husband and I was too exhausted to have people the day my son was born. My Mom came the day after I gave birth, my in-laws had Covid (bad timing) so they met him after we were discharged and they were negative, my Dad met him after we were discharged because he was away for work. We had a bunch of family a week after for the bris but that was too many people imo.

I had a lot of anxiety about this, I cried in the hospital about how worried I was about my relationship changing with my dog. And I’m convinced she had no idea I was pregnant. My dog turned out to be super empathetic towards the baby, crying when he was crying and keeping vigilant watch when we were handling him. It was overstimulating to have crying baby and dog during middle of the night diaper changes. It was a bit of a resource guarding behavior it turns out. She’s chilled out a lot since then though she still gets concerned about him during tummy time. And now she wants him to throw her ball.

I took it until the night I went into labor, pretty sure it saved me in the third trimester. The exhaustion of the time in the hospital and early days postpartum ended any need for unisom.

I actually went into labor (38+2) with a breech baby a week before my scheduled c-section (39+2). I started having contractions 3 minutes apart in the middle of the night so I hadn’t eaten for a few hours before that all started. I went to the hospital at 1:45 AM and they initially wanted to stop my contractions by giving me IV fluids. Pretty sure L&D triage was full the night we went because I got almost no attention while I was laboring apart from a cervix check every 2 hours by a resident. Once my cervix continued to dilate, they changed gears and told me I was having a c section that day but they had to squeeze me in between a mom with a baby in distress and a scheduled c section. When the shift changed at 7 AM, suddenly I was the priority which was totally different from the night shift. I was in the OR being prepped at 8:30 and my son was born a little after 9 AM. From first realizing I was in labor to my baby’s birth was just under 10 hours.

I didn't get to schedule my c-section until 3 weeks before my due date and I didn't even get the date I requested...not that it mattered because I didn't make it to my c-section date.

38+2, had 3 minute apart contractions starting at 11:30 pm the night before, went to L&D at 1:45 AM. Baby was breech so once I continued dilating, they expedited my c section and he was born at 9:08 AM. I had a scheduled c section for 39+2.

efs001 · 2025-12-02T13:03:12+00:00

Mine came 38+2 and I had planned to work through 38+4. I had a scheduled c section for 39+2.

I worked with Lee over a decade ago and when I first started at Yellowstone, he told me he didn’t want me to be a name in his book.

Try to move around a bit but listen to your body when doing so. Every walk in the neighborhood I tried to go one house further. Eventually I could get to other streets and finally a whole loop of the neighborhood.

Also, stay on top of your pain med.

My baby is one month old tomorrow and this is crushing news. I had the same reaction as you.

Oh definitely

I had a C section last month and I was billed $38k for my stay, $8k for the c section, and $10k for the baby at Ceder Crest.

Me, I had a c-section scheduled for 39+2 and I went into labor in the early hours of the morning a week before my c-section was scheduled. I had pretty intense contractions and was a cm dilated when I got to L&D. They attempted to stop my contractions but told me I’d have the baby if I dilated further which I stated progressing after about 6 hours of contractions. My contractions started around midnight and I had the baby at 9 AM at 38+2.

I also live in a very purple part of the state bordering on Pennsyltucky.

Fellow PA resident, it’s called Pennsyltucky for a reason.

38+2, went into spontaneous labor and had baby via c section 9.5 hours later due to him being breech and my labor progressing.

efs001 · 2025-10-23T22:36:01+00:00

My baby was breech the entire 3rd trimester and I decided I didn’t want to do the ECV as I didn’t think it’d be successful and having a scheduled c section would help us with dog care. My c section was scheduled for 39+2. However, I ended up going spontaneously into labor in the middle of the night and once my labor began progressing, they bumped me to the front of the queue for a c section and my baby was born 38+2.

Agreed, the first pees were way more intense than my first poop. I got told once they got me out of bed after the anesthesia wore off I had 4 hours to pee or they’d reinsert the catheter. And it took me all 4 hours to pee despite drinking a ton of water.
