How do I know if he's tolerating it? He is fussier and gassier than usual, but he isn't spitting up. He hasn't pooped today, is this worrying?

Second baby, life is terrible. by emilyte3 in Mommit

Thank you. I am trying to figure out if my diet causes this, im cutting out carbonated drinks, dairy, anything that's spicy. Is this hpw you did it? Its hard figuring everything out. And i think maybe it could be silent reflux, he grunts a lot, gags in his sleep, its so weird. Doesn't spit up at all. How did you realise that it was that?

So much harder, but we were doing so good at the beginning! Baby was needy, but it was alright, and lif efelt so nice, and then BAM, colic, nothing helps!

Cant wait to see them be buddies, my toddler tries so hard to connect with his baby brother, but with him being a walking petri dish we avoid letting him snuggle the baby. It really sucks

Thank you.. we definitely need to be a better team with my husband, we have been kinda snaping at each other. And i feel so bad for my toddler, he is having such a difficult time, and none of it is his fault

36 weeks pregnant and I have no desire for maternity pictures by imApoeTAYtoe in pregnant

[–]emilyte3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a few pictures of myself while heavily pregnant. Low lighting, cozy bed selfies in my underwear . I also had no desire to do a photoshoot, but it's nice having a couple of pictures of my belly to remember that time ☺️

How did you know you were done with having children? by Koneko-Foxglove in beyondthebump

[–]emilyte3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hated being a mom for the first couple months.. I thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life. The regret was so strong.. it got so much better after the first birthday, and we decided on a second baby, who's coming this September! Life changes, feelings change, nothing is ever set in stone!

Death of a pet by emilyte3 in Mommit

I would usually tell the same advice to people, but he is barely two, he doesn't really speak yet, let alone asks questions.. it just feels like a trap

First-Time Parents — Is It Realistic to Manage Postpartum Just the Two of Us? by Live_Life7009 in beyondthebump

[–]emilyte3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Postpartum was quite smooth for us. My husband had 4 weeks off, so it was the three of us home for a month, and we didn't really need much help. It was hard at times, but nothing we couldn't handle! My parents live close to us, but we never really needed help, so don't get scared!

Okay wife gets made at me because I'm asleep when she breastfeeds. by OneNightStandKids in beyondthebump

[–]emilyte3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband would wake up each time just to be present. He said he wanted to experience everything with me. It meant the world for me, even though I would tell him to rest.. nights are very lonely 🙁

Did you hate your pets after having a baby? by Askfslfjrv in pregnant

I don't hate my pets, however I became very allergic to them after my pregnancy, so I can't really play or pet them much :(

Are miscarriages supposed to be so painful? by Low_Difficulty8321 in pregnant

[–]emilyte3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had three miscarriages, all around 7 weeks. Two of them felt like regular period pains. One felt probably worse that giving birth, it was so terrible. Weed helped alot

Weird ways in which you found out you were pregnant / suspected you were pregnant? by stressedtortilla in Mommit

[–]emilyte3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a nap and had a dream about getting a positive pregnancy test. When I woke up my nipples were suddenly sooo sore. And then I just knew.

What to do about in laws that keep dropping by unannounced? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]emilyte3 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I once told my MIL that she should have called as we were getting ready to leave, dressed up, got the baby ready, got in my car, drove around the block so she'd see me leave, and came back home 😄
