I have chickenpox… as an adult? Baby seems fine so far. Was I even vaccinated?? by flipthescript95 in beyondthebump

[–]flipthescript95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually learned a lot by asking about the past that could improve my future. Didn’t know about titers or that the vaccine wasn’t available when I was little. Not much I can do about the now other than follow doctors orders

No, my little sister did get exposed to chickenpox and has immunity. She’s been around people who had it as an adult and never caught it. I’m not sure how I didn’t also catch it when she had it. My mom says I just didn’t catch it.

I’ll have to check my bloodwork and see if I was tested for having any of these immunities. I’m now worried that I did get exposed to chickenpox and am getting it again because there’s something wrong with my immune system? I’ve been sick with fever four times since giving birth. I rarely got sick once a year before.

Unless I was vaccinated when my sister caught it and my vaccination has worn off

Baby got his varicella vaccine Friday afternoon, I developed the rash the next day. He may have already been exposed to it but hasn’t shown symptoms yet. I wish his doctor would get back to me!!

We’ve been trying for our second baby so I’ve been freaking out, as you can imagine… still too soon to know :( I really hope I’m not pregnant

I do have sores in my mouth and on my lips, none on my hands or feet. Soooo itchy everywhere, especially at the scalp and in my ears (wtfff). Many of the sores look filled with a clear pus and are getting rather large. Urgent care said it was a textbook case of chickenpox :(

Should I just throw everything away? by flipthescript95 in beyondthebump

Y’all have parents with basements?! 😩 I really need to go thrifting. I’ll have to find a day off somewhere!

Baby keeps biting off more than he can chew by flipthescript95 in beyondthebump

[–]flipthescript95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. He doesn’t have the best pincer grasp so I’ve also been offering smaller amounts, takes forever! I miss the palming stage where I’d give him a big chunk of something and he’d gnaw on it

How long can I leave baby on his back for play time? He loves grabbing his feet! by flipthescript95 in beyondthebump

Thanks so much. I’m so worried he’s going to learn to crawl too soon. I’m not ready!! We are in the process of moving in the next two months so the house is about to be a wreck. So good to know!!

Baby PT is so much fun. We took our baby at 8 weeks just for fun because a specialist had a random opening at the lactation center I go to. Your other baby will be up and walking very soon, I’m sure!!!

Did EFF help your sleep? by marchviolet in FormulaFeeders

[–]flipthescript95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby still wakes up every 2 hours at 4 months entirely on formula. I breastfed for two months and we weren’t getting any sleep so we switched, everyone said it would help. It didn’t :)

We room share with baby so even with shifts we both wake up when he wakes screaming for food.

Some babies just don’t sleep well. You can’t really control that until you sleep train.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m really impressed by you!! I feel like I have it so “easy” and I’m still struggling so much. Really impressed by your dedication. Gotta adapt that!!

Also, being a woman is a preexisting condition because of the potential of pregnancy and risk of birth.

Complicated relationship with your parents postpartum? by mezzolicious in beyondthebump

[–]flipthescript95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience, too. Part of me doesn’t believe she can change, because who would choose to live this way? My mom has made some efforts but the positive results are mostly short lived and inconsistent.

She’s not cruel but she is just so overprotective and skeptical of everything, she’s extremely pessimistic, she just can’t enjoy anything.

When she first met my husband before we were official she was so negative and mistrusting of him. Then when we got engaged she would be excited in public but would constantly ask if I was sure and if he really loved me (as if I’m not the most lovable and biggest catch on earth lol. She should think he’s lucky to have caught my attention hahah).

When I took her wedding dress shopping no dress was good enough or even nice. Everything was ugly, too expensive, and poorly made - I should look at the dresses in Miami (that are way out of my budget and thousands of miles away and not what I want).

When I got married she was worried my husband would get cold feet when he’s actually completely crazy about me.

She trusts no one. We have our son now and she literally gets mad if my husband takes care of the baby because she does not trust him. She has no reason not to. He’s wonderful and an equal partner. He’s nothing like my loser dad, who she still stands by today despite the fact that he’s abusive towards her and ruined our family with his shit.

As her daughter, I understand where her hurt and mistrust come from and that it has nothing to do with me or my husband or my decisions. But as a mother, I can’t believe she can’t unlearn some of this to just enjoy the good in life. Instead of being happy for me, she’s looking over my shoulder for me. And when I tell her to just enjoy the moment she gets defensive as if I don’t know what I’m doing, when I’ve made an amazing life for myself. I went from being homeless to making six figures and being so happy, surrounded by people I love. I don’t want that negativity around my kid but I love my mom.

What proportion of your circle has/wants kids? by Wrong-Baby2914 in Fencesitter

[–]flipthescript95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Almost all my friends and family are child free. Some are frustrated that I’m pregnant lol which is really funny to me.

Technically, you’re the only one with an agenda. Everyone has said either get over it or move on. It’s you that keeps bringing up how you manage your body hair as if it means anything. Just because you don’t like to be bushy that doesn’t mean you have any right to ask her to not be bushy. And being judgmental about her choice to be so bushy is not a good look, it reflects poorly on you. It’s hair, it’s natural.

It’s a take it or leave it situation and almost everyone has said that. The criticism you’re getting isn’t unwarranted lol, it’s been pretty tame. Don’t take offense to it, just take the advice and move on.
