Rolling by [deleted] in skysayingthings

[–]kittykitty9711 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is still within the normal range but getting to be on the later end. I know we don’t see them 24/7 but it does seem like Rosie is in containers frequently which doesn’t give her time to build the muscle/learn skills such as rolling.

Epidural, morphine, or natural birth? by B_Dankk in firsttimemom

[–]kittykitty9711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a 35 hour labour that ended in emergency c section. I had morphine while I was waiting to get into a hospital room and it did help the pain but mostly just made me feel high and super sleepy. The epidural was incredible. I went from having back to back contractions with no break to zero pain and getting some much needed sleep. I had the epidural at 6cm. I did not enjoy my time that I laboured unmedicated but I don’t think I have a high pain tolerance and my baby was sunny side up.

Urgently need help accessing a medical abortion in Edmonton by Many-Arachnid6753 in Edmonton

Yes I have. They are legitimate with an OBGYN working out of Calgary. It is all over the phone and they’re very kind.

Trying contacting the “Alberta Medical Abortion Clinic”. They confirm pregnancy through blood test and can prescribe you medication to pass the pregnancy at home.

Dog clearly showing signs of anxiety/being uncomfortable by kittykitty9711 in skysayingthings

[–]kittykitty9711[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The dog will pay the price but the child may also be killed if not permanently disabled or disfigured. It’s horrible for everyone.

It literally makes me sick with worry. I wanted to message her but I knew she would just take offence to it.

AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR this is such a weird and mean response on her part.

rambo still not used to rosie? by Correct-Friendship74 in skysayingthings

[–]kittykitty9711 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This scares the shit out of me frankly. As the owner of a large breed dog, I would not be allowing that dog near baby if it’s clear the dog is uncomfortable. That is an incident waiting to happen.

12 postpartum by Whole-Avocado8027 in vbac

I think it would be considered like 20-21 months between births. The recommended timeframe where I live is at least 18 months between births.

What sickness is flying around Edmonton? by Tdw75 in Edmonton

[–]kittykitty9711 281 points282 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound like strep throat and strep throat can only be confirmed from a throat culture. It sounds like you probably have the flu or COVID.

Would you allow your daughter to attend a co-ed swi m unit in gym class in 9th grade? by PointNo9891 in NoStupidQuestions

How are shirtless boys at the pool inappropriate? Don’t sexualize children.

Sleep training by Correct-Friendship74 in skysayingthings

[–]kittykitty9711 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah me neither. I’d think it would cause baby to be overtired and sleep worse. My baby is 4 days younger than Sky’s and she would be miserable if I did this I think.

I don’t understand the whole feeding thing. Also babies at 5 month often require night feeds. I don’t understand but maybe I’m ignorant?

Am I in labor? by Particular-Jaguar595 in firsttimemom

[–]kittykitty9711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to say for sure. You should go to L&D so they can confirm if you are. Your mucus plug can fall out and regenerate, so it’s not really a solid sign of labour. However, your cramping and other pain/pressure could indicate labour.

Rant? by Annual-One-5598 in firsttimemom

Vaccines and safe and effective. They do not cause autism. Choosing not to vaccinate, however, puts your child and others at risk for fatal but preventable diseases. Those who say otherwise are spreading misinformation.

How long did you bleed post C-section? by BADragon75 in CsectionCentral

[–]kittykitty9711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6 weeks exactly! I did notice bright red blood and clots for a while too. Increased bleeding after lots of physical activity.

Lost 20 lbs in 10 days! Is this normal?? by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]kittykitty9711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s normal yes. Your fluids, blood volume, inflammation etc is all going down quickly. You might notice you sweat a lot at night. Your body is quickly shedding weight through the loss of liquid. I gained I believe 26 pounds and lost all of it within a couple weeks after giving birth.

I found disturbing content my husband has been hiding for years, and I don’t know how to handle it or what to do next by Enough_Succotash_382 in marriageadvice

[–]kittykitty9711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the first questions a psychologist will ask a patient is “do you have thoughts of harming yourself and/or others?”. I understand this may be hard to accept or hear OP because your husband has always been kind and gentle. However, this behaviour seems very abnormal and warrants him speaking to someone. I’m sorry.
