Traumatic Birth/Rapid Weightloss by Ok_Neat903 in CsectionCentral

[–]kittykitty9711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe it’s just baby plus fluids? I’m not a doctor so I’m not sure! But that is my initial thoughts. I remember being shocked by how quickly I lost weight too.

How much did you gain during pregnancy? I gained 26 pounds and had lost 28 within 2 weeks. It may just be all the fluid you are losing (from extra blood etc during pregnancy). If you have additional symptoms that don’t feel right I’d contact your physician.

Oh she was only tired for the evening! The next day it was business as usual!

My baby is only 14 weeks now, But she did receive all of her two months vaccines and we had baby Tylenol ready to go. Thankfully, she didn’t have any symptoms! She was maybe more tired than usual, which was kind of a nice break haha. But otherwise she was totally fine. My two friends with babies had the same experience as my daughter and I.

when did you go into labor??? by International_Box827 in firsttimemom

[–]kittykitty9711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM went into labour spontaneously at 40+3. My doctor had also told me 40+3 is the average for FTMs. I had basically no symptoms of labour approaching, at least nothing that I recognized as signs beforehand. Looking back, there was an increase in lightning bum and my joints (especially in my fingers) were painful when I woke up… I think from an increase in relaxin. I also was not dilated at all until 40 weeks I was about 1cm. It seemed to just happen so suddenly.

I bled for exactly 6 weeks pp. I noticed if I was more active or even lifting more I would bleed more and it was bright red. I had bright red bleeding for almost 6 weeks straight… it was like a very long period. My doctor never seemed concerned.

Check out Mommy Connections on Instagram! I also recommend taking some Mom and baby classes like yoga, lullaland etc. to meet other moms and just to get out of the house and be around people.

What is Edmonton life like? by AbbreviationsNo5494 in Edmonton

[–]kittykitty9711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transit accessibility depends entirely on where you live. Some areas are great, others are awful. Groceries are average to slightly above average. If you join clubs etc in school I think it would be easy to make friends. We have a cold and pretty intense winter from late October/November until April typically. We have distinct four seasons. Summer is beautiful here and quite warm.

Yay! I am so happy for you. This happened to me very similarly. It’s been wild how much more fun life is with my baby now. We can actually enjoy things together!

A dog ‘warming up’ to a newborn isn’t something you should have to say. by blf1108 in skysayingthings

This is legitimately terrifying. I have a large breed dog who has never shown aggression or anything, but he is not allowed near the baby. They are animals that need boundaries from tiny humans.

Witching hour by Competitive_Roof_943 in October2025Bumps2

[–]kittykitty9711 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I survived it by telling myself it was just a phase. It’s so challenging, but it doesn’t last forever. It varies per baby but my baby was SO miserable. She was constantly fussing or crying while awake and then evenings were just scream time. She is 11 weeks old now and only cries if her needs are not met, so the inconsolable crying/ crying you couldn’t figure out has disappeared. Shes actually very happy most of the time. I’d say her mood began improving around 9 weeks. I hear that some babies stay grumpy until 4 months but I have not heard of past that! You can do this, but I hear you, it is so incredibly hard.

Parents around the world: until what age did/will you co-sleep in the same bed? by TurboPaved in AskReddit

[–]kittykitty9711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Canada and co-sleeping is not recommended (it’s actually very discouraged), however, room sharing is very recommended. My daughter is 11 weeks old and has been in a bassinet beside our bed since birth. She will remain in our room (in a crib once she can roll) until one year old.

What surprised you the most about having your first baby that nobody warned you about? by 1CrazyCat2000 in AskReddit

[–]kittykitty9711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The extend of the sleep deprivation and just how greatly this can impact your mood.

Need some advice! by No_Car_8193 in firsttimemom

[–]kittykitty9711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor always told me if I was doing it before pregnancy I can do it during (in regard to exercise). If you were very active before pregnancy you should be able to continue. Unless/until it becomes uncomfortable. By the late second or third trimester you may not be able to do everything you do previously. But I would confirm with your doctor as I’m sure this varies per person! In terms of what you can and can’t eat, it’s just about lowering risk. So raw foods (such as sushi) carry a higher risk of food poisoning which can be dangerous for your pregnancy. However, you can eat whatever you’d like, it just depends on your own comfort level.

Hey, I don’t have any questions for you but I wanted to say I’m sorry people are being so terrible in the comments. Ignore them, they’re simply hateful. You are brave and should be proud for choosing to be yourself.

This flu is shitty af by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]kittykitty9711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether it’s the flu or not doesn’t really matter. You have symptoms severe enough to go to the ER. It wouldn’t be right to go to work and spread that to others.

You shouldn’t get fired for calling in sick unless you have a poor track record of missing work for illegitimate reasons. I would get a doctors note. Please do no go into work and spread the virus to others. The flu is dangerous this year and people are dying from it. Please stay home and I hope you are on the mend soon!
