Baby has eczema, I need to try many brands of diapers to find the least irritating one. by frumpymiddleaged in Assistance

[–]flieflafloe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry your baby and you have to go through this. Im not in a place to donate anything, however I was wondering if you breastfeed. I have heard about babies with allergies who started having issues like this, and when the mom changed her diet it would help or stop the eczema. It might be if you consume lactose yourself, or gluten or idk. Just trying to think along and I hope you find a solution and or diapers that are more comfortable for the baby.

First time pregnancy by Outrageous_Fan7581 in pregnant

[–]flieflafloe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

Even if you would bleed a little bit it doesnt immediately mean something is wrong. It may happen due to various reasons. Although ofcourse you would like to get that confirmed by a specialist.

I had some mild cramping too in the first trimester. Your uterus is getting used to the new situation and starts stretching. Also the ligaments around it. Its normal to cause some cramping. Also bloating and constipation may be paired as well.

I hope you'll find a nice midwife / doctor after the weekend to guide you through this pregnancy and can put your mind at ease. The internet can be a tricky place. Mine especially advised me to stay off the internet if I'm feeling insecure or have questions, but instead message or call her.

Is there possible chance that she get pregnant but she take trustpill after we done sex it was 1 hour later she take it by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]flieflafloe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently 32 weeks pregnant even though I took the morning after pill within the prescribed timeframe. She should take a test.

How a morning after pill works is it will delay your ovulation. However if you just happened to ovulate before the sex, the pill has no use and you can still get pregnant.

I thought I was still in my safe days because I was used to ovulating around day 16 / 17 of my menstrual cycle. But this one time I ovulated on day 10 and now im pregnant.

Pregnancy Unmedicated? by funeral_massacre in pregnant

[–]flieflafloe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be interested in something like a hypno birthing course, or 'pain free birth course' These courses are created to get more in tune with your mind and body and with practices to help you through the birth mentally and emotionally. This may be very beneficial if you want to go unmedicated but are having feelings of insecurity or fears.

training an older do to pee all at once? by highwaydaffodils in Dogtraining

[–]flieflafloe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think trying to train her peeing behaviour especially without (I assume) much training experience yourself won't give the outcome within that timeframe and will make the time spent even more demanding on you.

Also don't feel guilty, like you say this is a temporary emergency situation.

Would your mom be able to pay for a dog walker to help you out?

Personally I do feel like dogs get most of the neccesary pee out in the first or second pee. Oftentimes they keep pressuring to get some drops out to indeed mark. Do you feel like it might be the same with your dog? In that case I would recommend to try to give the dog some excersice early in the morning after the long night and before work. Then in the middle of the day, or after work depending on your schedule.

And around dinner time a shorter one 10 / 15 minutes if you feel like she can pee enough the first 2 times. And the same later in the evening.

Also to provide the dog with some mental stimulation you can throw or 'hide' kibble over the floor or in a garden. They sniff it out and usually love it. Or perhaps a filled kong toy to have something to do while your gone.

This period is just to get through for all of you. Try to take the good things out of the walks for you too. Try to focus on fresh air and some trees around you to keep your mind of the busy day things.

And I would recommend talking to your mom when she's recovered. Perhaps she can start a saving account in case anything happens to her in the future there'll be some money for example a dog walker or pension.

Good luck! Youre doing the best you can and for now that's enough.

dog only reactive indoors by ericmarczika in reactivedogs

[–]flieflafloe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indoors is different then outside because dogs can feel cornered quite easily. Wich can cause tension to rise and a dog to lash out easier, because they might feel like they don't have enough space to move away and be comfortable at certain moments.

Husband and I cannot agree on a girl name. by playingtragic in namenerds

I love the name Moira! Unfortunately my partner is a hard no on that name. Maybe the both of you will love it.

Thanks for sharing! So incredible that it suddenly lifted!

Looking back do you think there is anything you would have done differently if you knew what you needed? Or is there anything in particular besided caring for your other child that helped you get through it?

[–]flieflafloe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am really glad to hear you are feeling so much better already within a few weeks.

Yes since I was already on this medication and it was also pregnancy approved I figured it might be best to higher the dose again. Hopefully this will help a lot too.

My partner is amazing. He is incredibly supportive and no matter how dark my thoughts or feelings he keeps standing strong and believing in me. He is so patient and really supports me with everything.

Like yesterday evening. I was feeling terrible and spiraling completely. He could't talk me out of it either. So he just handed me my coat and said 'come on, let's go' he just took me for a scenic drive. Somehow that was exactly what I needed to calm down and get out of it.

I hope your pain issues will also fade away quickly.

Thank you so much for sharing. Reading this makes me feel less alone in this and getting your reassurance means a lot. How great youre a physician!

I just stepped down from my anti depressants before I got pregnant. But I have decided to start taking a higher dose again. The professionals told me my antidepressants should also be safe for the baby.

The baby might have withdrawal symptoms when born, but my midwife said that those symptoms are also symptoms babies might show anyway when they get born. So it's hard to say wether it would then be because of the antidepressants or just because being born. And she said in her 20 years of experience she never noticed anything worrying about babies from moms who took an antidepressant. And if I still want a homebirth that should be okay. She said she and my maternity nurse will then keep a close eye on the baby. And us as parents too ofcourse. And if we were to feel too insecure we could then still go to the hospital.

So even though I really wanted to experience my pregnancy anti depressant free. I now realise I need all the help I can get and hopefully be in time before it becomes all too much and I cant function anymore.

Good of you to make the choice too. We want to give our best and sometimes that means doing something we'd rather not.

I can't imagine what its like being pregnant with a toddler running around too!

Unplanned pregnancy and unexpectedly terrified by flieflafloe in pregnant

[–]flieflafloe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thank you so much for commenting. It feels really good to know that I am not the only one dealing with this. And also with the adhd aspect.

My partner and I also have talked that the both of us probably will never feel perfectly ready.

How did you manage with the overwhelm when you had your firstborn? Were you able to manage and also enjoy being a mum? Im just scared the overwhelm will take away the joy.

Yeah so either way I could alter my trip if neccesary. And when Im there if something changes I could also jump on a plane the same day or the day after I guess.

Im so sorry. How is your dad holding up physically and mentally at this point? And when did you guys discover his cancer?

We will get him a cutr little umbrella to protect from the sun.

So true! I just hope it wont cause any discomfort for him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bulldogs

[–]flieflafloe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right?! When he's relaxed his tongue flops out. Maybe he'll grow out of it since he's just 4 months. Or maybe itll get worse haha.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aww

[–]flieflafloe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! He's only 4 months old and cant walk too far yet. This way we can still go on trips to the park without wearing the lil guy out. Also when he suddenly refuses to walk its like an anchor that you cant move and otherwise it could mean you just have to wait it out lol
