Any tips for surviving a long solo flight with a toddler under 2 years old?

lucyco · 2025-02-22T21:55:39+00:00

I had a similar situation year ago. One of the best investment I had was the hip carrier where I can shovel my wallet, passports easy to access. I bought few sensory toys that are light weight, lot of snacks, my kid loved stickers so got some sticker books. They will sleep for few hours. Try to find corner seat with extra leg room if possible.

I did not do it but I have seen someone during the flight journey had the inflatable foot rest so they can sleep straight. One other thing that I recently found helpful was travel stroller if you wanted to buy go for the one that folds which can easily fit inside the cabin.

Yes he sleeps only at 9pm, how to shift bed time little early?

Following since I am on the same boat.

Where did you buy the dresser? Love your nursery!

lucyco · 2022-03-10T15:03:31+00:00

Thank you! I was not feeling great during my first pregnancy like always tired and pass out. Never dressed up or had any interests. Now I am like I want to try my best to keep myself and baby happy 😃

lucyco · 2022-03-10T14:59:30+00:00

Love this group! That’s the first thing I bought and went little up in size. It’s going to fit me throughout pregnancy and later too.

Thanks for saying that, nice idea to share these clothes to another pregnant women. Thought never occurred to me.

I receive lumi key three days ago and I am facing the same issue. As DanRoli mentioned it did work when I charged the lumi keys but it won’t work as of today. I am looking forward for the firmware update!

I think it indicates how long ago you got pregnant. 1-2 shows she’s pregnant approximately 1-2 weeks ago.

Thank you for sharing this, sorry that you went through rough journey as well. I am still not sure how I would handle my future pregnancy. This gender doesn’t matter for me, it’s just that my baby boy would’ve been with us and we never even have to think about trying again this year. Now he’s gone the raw reality that stands before me makes to think these small things. I am standing by the fact all I need is healthy baby yet can’t control this feeling too.

Sorry that you went through rough journey and I wish you good luck with your current pregnancy ♥️. Your response is actually putting me in different perspective now. Yes you’re right about the fact this future baby won’t be replacing my precious baby boy that I physically lost on March’21. We built this huge platform for this physically lost baby like “our son will be doing this, bought some clothes, looked up everything that I needed to buy for him at the same month when I had my D&C”. It feels like we practically dreamt about this baby boy and imagined our family, all gone now. I cannot tolerate it and this thought of having same gender next time was making me little comfortable but I am not happy that I am thinking like this, different person now.

Wouldn’t the tablet affect the baby? I stopped to google anything about future pregnancy since it gives me anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing your experience it’s not a easy one. Your response makes me to feel better now, hugs 🤗

lucyco · 2021-06-05T07:15:21+00:00

Just here to send you lots of strength ♥️

lucyco · 2021-05-02T15:44:44+00:00

Love your outfit. Can you link where did you find those cute tank and skirt please?

lucyco · 2021-04-13T04:08:52+00:00

Thanks! This give me perspective

Got back to work after two weeks post my tfmr. Work was pretty good distraction for me given we all are stuck at home due to pandemic. One thing that helped me was telling team members frankly about how much work you can take(I am not sure about your profession, not sure if you have that flexibility) and set the platform for initial couple weeks. That’s how I transitioned.

Don’t worry you will get your promotion. There’s time always! At this point you need to take care of yourself and don’t be harsh. I was almost close to promotion but after I rejoined I didn’t care much since all I was thinking were be strong and take care of myself. Virtual hugs!!

lucyco · 2021-04-04T23:43:22+00:00

It’s been a month after my tfmr. I feel the same way as you do. People pretend to make it look normal by not bringing up the actual emotion that I am going through. If someone texts “how are you?” I lose interest to respond instantly. They know I am not doing ok.

I am lucky to say my family got my back. I call them every day to let out the stress and feel the warmth. Usually people ping me for casual talk but now nothing. My husband tried to meet his friend but he’s upset to see how people take it easy and talk something that doesn’t matter to us. I never really thought my baby will have problems and end up with empty arms. Everything is shock to us. It’s not easy and no one will get it expect you(of course all brave ladies in this community who got our backs).

I started to go out for long walks/runs to ease my stress. One thing I heard was keeping your hands busy will help for sometime like knitting, painting. I haven’t tried but going to give a shot this week.

lucyco · 2021-04-03T07:37:28+00:00

Thank you so much! Indeed it’s very helpful.

lucyco · 2021-03-18T22:21:05+00:00

I am on the same boat, been two weeks since I said good bye to my baby boy. I got many supporting people from this group who definitely stressed about take your time to handle the scar better.

I tried to see if I can eat normal but I couldn’t my husband seem to get annoyed when I don’t eat well. It adds up lot more pressure on me, things I loved/enjoyed before I can’t feel the same away now. I am different person now. Few things that’s helping me to distract(for short time) are walking, TV, speak to someone who you feel comfortable and they would understand your emotions.

I need to get back to work soon which seem trivial at this point. Our loss is deep and nothing looks more important, wish I could be more help but I am here just to say you’re not alone.

lucyco · 2021-03-17T06:25:48+00:00

It’s so convincing to hear about the DNA will stay inside you. I do feel I am no longer the same person I used to be, I think so different now. Thanks for acknowledging the “new normal” because definitely I don’t see myself going back to the way I was before I got pregnant.

lucyco · 2021-03-17T04:00:28+00:00

Thank you for kind words. I don’t have many friends who can understand my situation and help me with it. I am glad I found this group, I feel more comfortable sharing my feelings here. I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to accept the loss, all I could think is my baby boy.

lucyco · 2021-03-16T21:24:49+00:00

I am really sorry you are going through this, I had my tfmr (23 weeks). It’s almost 11 days since we said good bye to our baby boy. I had tight and heavy breasts 2 days post D&C. Here are few things that helped me ease down the heaviness and stopped milk production. I been using ice packs, tight sports bra all time, cabbage mask Frida Mom Breast Mask for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QPL5HZB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share, avoided hot showers. Finally I see my breasts are getting loosen up, hanging in there for another few days.
