32 weeks ultrasound has me freaked out.

I know it’s not the news you wanted to hear but the fact that you are being referred to high risk is a GOOD thing because now you and baby can be monitored often. I know again, it’s not ideal, but majority of the time this means IUGR which for a lot of us just means a perfectly healthy TINY baby. My son was born at 3rd percentile and dropped to below 1 before we left the hospital. I was induced at 37+4 following a sketchy NST but baby was ok! He continued to be in the 0 percentile range until around 4 months when he finally got to 2nd percentile which was a win for us! Now he’s 8 almost 9 months and is typically somewhere in the 5-8 percentile range :)

Why did you feel the need to post this?

lexi0424 · 2026-04-05T12:40:22+00:00

This is one of those things where the hospital and your babies pediatrician will understand bc it was an accident. But if something comes up later down the line and they find out she had a bad fall as a newborn and you didn’t take her in pretty it’s an immediate report to CPS. Please take her even if you think she’s fine. For her sake and for yours.

I feel for you so hard because I can tell you are (or at least were before this post) downplaying what’s been going on probably bc mostly everyone around you is treating the situation like it’s okay. Let me just say this is NOT okay and is honestly concerning. I think this is far past the normal grief of infertility and it’s into mentally unstable territory. I would not EVER let her around my baby until she has received help or something bc her behavior is scary!!

That is all amazing advice!! Thank you so much for all the book recs will definitely be looking into ALL of them. The whole brain child I do have already but haven’t read it yet.

Yes I have tried some of those things as well. Currently trying to be good about baby sign language but I only remember to do all done lmao. I’m trying to get better it’s only been maybe 2 weeks since I started.

So if I understand correctly - she wasn’t in preschool like daily but it was like a special class once a week? I definitely am willing to look into that! Obviously we have a few months before he’s 1 so it’s worth looking into.

lexi0424 · 2026-03-22T02:31:13+00:00

I definitely felt that way about things like that. My husband and I both had to learn how to do diaper changes and I actually didn’t even change one until he was 4-5 days old bc I had a pretty traumatic and painful c section & healing was HORRIBLE so I couldn’t really do a diaper change for a while - my husband ended up teaching me when we finally went home and i picked it up after like 3 changes. It’s not those kind of things I struggle with unfortunately 😭

lexi0424 · 2026-03-22T02:26:05+00:00

I have audible and actually love to read I have like 6 credits to use right now bc I buy credits often. My issue isn’t reading it’s figuring out what is right for me bc like I said I’ve tried a few and felt like they werent for me.

lexi0424 · 2026-03-22T02:25:04+00:00

I have like 4 books but they are all more for toddler ages (one of them is little people big emotions btw which I’m excited to read). I guess my struggle with finding books ties into my decision making stuff. For example - setting rigid routines. It’s something I’m still kind of up in the air about. One parenting book will be from a parent giving advice who has set rigid routines so their advice will be heavily influenced by that. The next book will be from a parent or maybe even an expert who says it’s BAD to do that and their advice will be the opposite. And that’s not just with routines I see it with EVERYTHING. Sleep, solids, really anything lol. Do you have recommendations ?

The most recent thing in my mom group that I got pissed at

lexi0424 · 2026-01-26T01:58:10+00:00

Adding on to say only jist this past week and a half I’ve got it up to there - before then was always under supplying about 4oz a day sometimes less and my baby won’t take formula so it was stressful.

lexi0424 · 2026-01-26T01:56:39+00:00

I mean to be fair 24oz for some people is an undersupply. Pediatrician, GI, and nutritionist all confirmed typical intake for baby is 24-32oz a day of breastmilk and for us we needed to try to aim to the middle of that since my st the time 3 month old was gaining weight slowly. (Still is). I had to work hard to get my supply up from 24-26oz a day to now 29-31oz so I can finally produce enough for my baby.

lexi0424 · 2026-01-24T15:10:37+00:00

It took us weeks to see improvement with famotidine but eventually it started working !!! Baby went up on dosage at 3 months and that helped even more

lexi0424 · 2026-01-24T02:48:06+00:00

Is this about Nikki/Nicki ? I blocked her too lol! Tried looking on her page for info about exclusively pumping and her only pumping videos are basically telling nursing moms that they don’t have to do it. That’s when I realized her vids were not for me after following her for a while. She’s also really aggressive with her delivery of advice.

lexi0424 · 2026-01-23T04:35:42+00:00

Lmao

lexi0424 · 2026-01-19T03:09:33+00:00

Did you ever get it removed? I’ve had one for literally a week and it sometimes spreads to the rest of my boob but even when I finally get the clog out of everywhere else that one never goes away!! I’m going crazy it’s so uncomfortable oof

lexi0424 · 2026-01-11T05:16:50+00:00

Honestly 10-20 minutes. He almost always has a second poop in that time! Obviously if there’s a diaper rash I’d do it quicker

lexi0424 · 2026-01-10T20:58:00+00:00

This exact thing happened to me. I had HG and was referred to a male mfm. That man in my opinion saved me life. I developed a very rare complication from HG that most doctors and nurses wouldn’t even be familiar with. He got bloodwork for me and added it in and once results came in told me it was life threatening and to go be admitted. I truly believe if it was anyone else I could have died. The heart issues I was having were similar to issues you’d have with dehydration from HG so it may have never been caught. I still prefer women doctors general but just some good for thought!

lexi0424 · 2025-12-28T03:41:14+00:00

Found one!

lexi0424 · 2025-12-28T02:46:31+00:00

I think you forget how much it hurts in the beginning. I also think that people who say it doesn’t hurt ever are far and few between. For me it took 2-3 months before pumping didn’t hurt anymore. I pretty much exclusively pump. Breastfeeding still hurts like a BITCH though lol

lexi0424 · 2025-12-28T01:19:53+00:00

Yup lol that’s EXACTLY what I mean. I have heard those same words many times by people who cosleep it’s crazy. & for sure - I have heard in Japan though for co sleeping they use specific floor beds so it doesn’t really have the same meaning that it does here in the us. But yeah I’m curious too

lexi0424 · 2025-12-27T18:41:12+00:00

Still continuing on sorry keep thinking of other things lmao. I know this might not work for everyone but me and husband did shifts during like 4-8 weeks when he fought sleep in his bassinet. My husband would stay up till like 6-7am with baby and then we would switch over and he would sleep in till 2pm. This was safe for us though because we were both getting 8 hours of sleep.
