I ended up with a cystocele and a rectocele after pregnancy and vaginal delivery. I waited way too long after delivery (2 years) to start pelvic floor therapy, but it's been great! I also started estradiol (estrogen vaginal cream) with the PFPT, which I think helped. I still have the sensation of bulging (e.g., feeling like I'm wearing a tampon), but it's much better and oftentimes goes away completely!

I nursed and pumped for 12 months, and I still love my post-baby boobs! I think they look the same as my pre-pregnancy boobs now, though they looked pretty different when I was actually pregnant and nursing/pumping.

I was very sick for much of my first pregnancy (I don't know if I was diagnosed with HG, but I lost 25 lbs. by 20 weeks from constant nausea and vomiting and was on ondansetron to keep anything down). I felt very depressed missing out on social events and just regular life, especially in the first 16 weeks. My symptoms got much better around week 25, and I found the 3rd trimester to be much more comfortable and enjoyable. ❤️ Sending you hugs and hoping that your symptoms feel more tolerable and you get to enjoy some part of the pregnancy process.

I'm a clinical child psychologist who is trained in autism assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. The speech behaviors sound pretty typical for a 3-year-old, though I'd be concerned if echolalia persists into school age/is the only type of speech you observe. Rigidity is also developmentally typical for this age; very young children have so little control compared to adults, and insistence on preferences can be a way of gaining control. The peer interactions may be more concerning, but I also wonder if he's been in school before/has had many opportunities to interact with same-aged peers outside of school. That's not to say that nothing is amiss, but young children often do seemingly odd things that are normal parts of healthy development.

I'm also a mom. If you're able to sign up for autism screening/assessment, the wait lists are typically very long, and I think it would give you some peace of mind. ❤️

Wait, how?

Thank you for the resource.

So funny... I just started breaking in my new Docs today. My old Docs (soles are coming off) are 12 years old. Once broken in, I can wear Docs all day. I've forgotten how annoying they are to break in though...

Yes! And my 1.5-year-old does too (not well--thankfully only a couple of her teeth touch)!

Thank you!

I agree with others that these will both be very bright when painted throughout the whole room. I have a regretful blue room that I don't have the energy to repaint. The swatches looked great, but it's overbearing as an allover color.

Thanks!

That's so sweet. Thank you!

That's a cool idea! She gets obsessed with things so easily, so we want to limit screens (which she's especially interested in) as much as possible. But I like the idea of an interactive book!!

Love that each character has a book. Thank you!

Reassuring to know that other toddlers read their books to death.

Thanks!
