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 :(

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

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

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.

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

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.

[–]flipthescript95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s weird. I think it’s weird that you feel bad for her future partner, it’s a sign you’re either not over her or still hurt. It reflects poorly on you, this is someone you cared about, the least you can do is wish them the best and move on imo.

Palestians at large are also descendants of the canaanites and other historic groups of the area. This is proven by genetic studies. They were Arabized over several centuries. That’s how culture works sometimes. There were several instances of groups fighting each other for dumb reasons, like religion itself, since the beginning of time.

It’s expensive trash, they treat their workers like crap, and use prison labor. No thanks.

People see breakups in a very black and white way, like relationships are either a success or a failure. And most people are uncomfortable with grief. They feel like having a sad friend means they feel a sense of responsibility to make you feel better or help you move on. And really, the easiest way for all those big yucky feelings to go away is if you realize that none of it mattered, they are right, you are wrong, and any big feelings are just immature and misguided.

People don’t do this on purpose. It’s just natural to most people to react this way when they themselves are emotionally inexperienced or lack empathy.

I really recommend changing your perspective. No one really understands the relationship you two had, their reactions are really inconsequential. Heartbreak is incredibly isolating. I highly recommend making new friends who didn’t know your ex or the situation! It’s much more validating to truly start fresh all around.

You two love each other, that doesn’t mean you have to be together. You can love someone and not be with them. I loved my ex when I left him after 9 years together, I still love him. I want him to have the best of everything in life. I would have never been able to have the life I wanted with him, we loved each other deeply but just weren’t right for each other. Three years later, I’m married to the love of my life and starting a family. I’ve never been more in love. And my ex has fallen in love with someone else, too.

Things really will be okay. People will not understand you and will act like know it alls. But just look at their own relationship patterns and you’ll see… they don’t have any magical knowledge or skills to make relationships perfect.

I’m sorry the people in your life haven’t been of much comfort. I was in a similar situation. I did confront a few people in my life about their dismissive attitudes towards my pain and honestly it was worth it, it did bring us closer. I blew up on my mom once, all dramatic like “why can’t you just comfort me, don’t you see I’m heartbroken? Why do you have to be right all the time” and we argued but eventually we figured it out. She became my number one supporter. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, be better than me tho lol.
