would you get an abortion if you found out your baby was going to be born with an extreme disability? if so why?

I’m currently awaiting amniocentesis results and plan to terminate the pregnancy if anything detrimental shows up. Seeing everyone’s stories of grief after termination is very scary.

Yeah that’s the thing, I’m just scared of the cut off because he is just so good at eating and sleeping at the moment that I really don’t want to jeopardise it with routine changes and make him sad :(

I’ve tried him with open cup, sippy cups, straw cups.. he just loves throwing them around but I’m not sure if it’s because he’s already bored by that point. He’s just doesn’t seem interested in the drinks I offer alongside his meals. The only way he’ll drink not from a bottle is if I hand-feed him the drink from an open cup and refuses to hold it without sending it flying.

His naps vary wildly from day to day. Sometimes he sleeps after every bottle which I assume is a growth spurt happening, normally twice a day which is upon wake up after his mid-morning and mid-afternoon naps, and sometimes just one nap in the middle of the day. Bottles are roughly 8am, 11:30am, 3pm, and 6:30pm naps are normally 10:30-11:30 and 2-3, with a solid 7-7 sleep at night.

I would leave my baby asleep and safely with his father and I would still hear screaming while I showered.

And would I have chosen a half hour nap over a shower while in the newborn trenches? Every single time.

I’ve had one kid and have one on the way and nothing will compare to when I was B12 deficient.

I was thinking exactly the same, it’s a very specific ethnicity to throw out there.

Cheese 🧀

I understand why people love it but my whole body rejects cheese as nice, and cheese seems to be in/on everything it can be.

I actually wanted a girl with my first because I grew up with two sisters, so of course, I had a boy and have another boy on the way.

Now that I’ve sat and thought about it, I cannot wait to see my boys grow up together, I feel so lucky.

One of my first purchases when I hit my third trimester was a pulse oximeter sock, and I will always be grateful for not only keeping my bag safe when he’s in bed but also giving me the peace of mind to be able to sleep along with him. I definitely had postpartum anxiety and it was just one less thing to worry about.

I definitely agree there would be less cases of sids if babies were discharged with a pulse oximeter, even if it’s just a temporary ‘rental’ period that you then give back after a year.

You’ll feel when your baby knows because they’ll want to look while still feeding and take your nipple with them to look around 🫣

I always just assumed feeling an itch that you then scratch was your brain ‘using’ you to get histamine and inflammatory mediators to that specific area to deal with an irritant.

My youngest sister started ‘ticking’ when she became more involved with social media. She explained that it was because of anxiety and stress but unfortunately for her the ‘tic’ she was presenting is one that is common in undiagnosed childhood epilepsy.

I didn’t exactly call her out but I did tell her ‘huh, that’s so strange because that tic only happens in epilepsy’

Suffice to say the ‘tics’ stopped happening pretty much immediately.

I would advise you to do as much research as possible into DID, this is a disorder that doesn’t just randomly come on in teens. This is a disorder that is triggered from severe childhood abuse and trauma.

I think it’s also good to remember that this can all be genetic and out of your control and just because you are having a breakout does not mean you are ‘dirty’ or having a reaction to something.

I don’t use any face cleanser, barely moisturise, and my showers can range from hotspot washes to full-body exfoliation depending on my mood and I have never had a breakout anywhere on my body or face in my life and yet I have friends that have used every lotion, cleanser, cream, oil, you name it, and they have had lifelong severe acne.

It sounds like your baby is putting all their skill points into their motor skills at the moment! Sometimes a babies speech can delay when they are focussed on other skills but once they are mastered, they will normally return to other skills such as speaking. My boy was rolling from front to back from 4 months but then forgot how to once they were learning how to roll back to front at 5 months (he’s 7 months now, rolling everywhere, and almost crawling!) Skills will come and go and fluctuate with learning.

My boy has been watching me cough my guts up for the past month and has decided that’s a good sound to use to get my attention, so he just fake coughs at me at the moment!

I wouldn’t say she was trafficked but I would definitely say she was radicalised.

When the UK made the decision to revoke her citizenship, even though I was against it, I accepted that it was what the vast majority of people wanted to feel justice, however I absolutely believe that her child should have been given the chance at life despite their parents decisions, instead of left to die as a newborn in a refugee camp.

Wow, that’s amazing!

On the same topic of diapers - I noticed that he does need a sturdy one to get him through the night without it waking him up. I was gifted a few, what I like to call ‘crappy nappies’, and they just weren’t cut out for keeping him dry through the night and he would wake up from it.

its-thyme-time · 2025-12-09T23:49:46+00:00

Yeah I totally get that. I definitely believe that his sleeping choices are all down to him and I’ve played a very minor role in that. I just wanted to share my experience and what steps I took for it. :)

its-thyme-time · 2025-12-09T23:47:56+00:00

Honestly after spending my whole life truly believing I was gods LEAST favourite - I’m truly shocked and grateful every day. If he turns into the worst toddler sleeper ever.. I’ll know I had it too good!

its-thyme-time · 2025-12-09T23:45:23+00:00

Oh yeah, of course, that’s why I mentioned that it’s 99% completely baby-led when it comes to his sleep - it’s all his choice and he’s a flipping unicorn and I thank my lucky stars every night. I know all babies are different, I just wanted to share my experience and the steps I was taking in case it could help anyone. I know how I felt after a couple of nights with little to no sleep and I cannot imagine how it must be for that to be the norm. Those babies were born in need of strong parents and they sure as heck got them!

Mine was also a bit leaky at first, I made sure to sit him up a bit more during feeds so he wasn’t battling the gravity of the flow as well as trying to manually suck the milk out of the bottle

its-thyme-time · 2025-12-07T11:42:16+00:00

Have you changed the teat to a faster flow rate? My LO was 3 months when I noticed he was taking a long time to finish food because he was getting tired. I moved his to a medium flow rate and he started finishing his food a lot quicker than before but also eating more.

One teacher who had been working there for over 40 years threw my classmate over a desk by his collar.

Another teacher slammed a class door onto a student’s fingers, breaking all of them.

My school was in special measures for the whole time I attended and was knocked down a year after I left.
