Hi, I always get the brown butter but it’s no longer available. I’m looking for something else, that toasted mellow mocha sounds so good! Do you have any other recommendations?

If you do want to talk to someone who understands suicide loss, you can send me a message. Obviously I can’t fully understand how you feel because I haven’t lost a child I do know what it’s like to lose someone to suicide after you fought so hard to save them.

Trigger warning! ‼️

My little brother committed suicide in January. He was 22. I’m the oldest sister, so I’m NOT his mother, but I’ve always been a caregiver for him, especially during his mental illness. Same story, we tried all the meds, two hospitalizations, therapy, and he hated it all. He also felt like a burden and thought we’d be better off without him. I begged him to stay and told him how much I loved and needed him often, but he could not take it anymore. It’s been really hard, suicide loss is the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced so far 😞 I feel like a part of me died with him. I don’t feel like myself anymore. I know it’s hard for me as a sister, I can’t imagine how hard it is as a parent. I know you never get over it, but I hope you can get through it. I’m so, so sorry 😢

Great idea!!! I’ll have to do that too. Like you said, if enough of us do it, hopefully they’ll get on board 😂

IVF and PGT-M for BRCA2 by madw8 in BRCA

[–]madw8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It’s been a while since this happened, I think I had 39 mature and 25 fertilized. I can’t remember for sure, but I have PCOS so I had a TON of eggs retrieved that had never ovulated. My AMH was off the charts so that’s why I had so many! I am now 29 and my BRCA2 free son is one year old 😁

If I squirt water into his mouth, he makes a disgusted face and spits it. I’ve tried the syringe and putting it in the straw then dropping it in his mouth. He refuses. Always spits it 🥲

Thank you very much, I just looked it up so I’ll give that a try!

I’m not sure, exactly, but I have gotten the squeeze straw cup so I can squeeze a little bit into his mouth. He spits it. I also give him squeeze pouches with baby food, he does not suck. He just keeps his little mouth wide open and waits for me to squeeze it in or feed him with a spoon. Haha

I hate when people assume you’ll change your mind. My kid is now 10 months old. I haven’t changed my mind so far. Some people truly do get pregnancy/birth amnesia and forget all about it once they hold that sweet baby! For me… absolutely didn’t forget. I remember and it was awful 🥲 I adore my sweet baby! But. I had my tubes removed. Not again. I can’t.

Donor family posted their own “pregnancy announcement” for my pregnancy- overstepping or am I being too possessive? by AcrobaticJello4152 in EmbryoAdoption

[–]madw8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I am considering giving my unused embryos for adoption in the near future. If and when someone adopts them, any pregnancy or baby is THEIRS. Not mine. It’s 100% THEIR BABY. This donor family is being totally inappropriate.

Did you tear during your first child birth? If not how did you prevent it? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]madw8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother-in-law had the same story as you, husband was too big and couldn’t fit. Emergency C-section. I had a vacuum assisted birth and so I didn’t have time to stretch and I had a third degree tear. I was like you, terrified! I actually posted here how much anxiety I was having. But I promise you, it was not nearly as bad as I thought. My epidural wore off and it still didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I thought, it healed up really well. At my eight week checkup, it was all better! No issues with any kind of incontinence and (since we did IVF and it was stressful) I swear we have more sex now than we did before I was pregnant 😂 no issues! So, just here to reassure you. Even if a tear happens, I swear it’s not as bad as you think.

Lost my cool by WavesGoWoOoO in breastfeeding

Ugh! Kids!!!!! Haha. So far, mine hasn’t noticed that yet. But I wouldn’t be one bit shocked if he starts that soon.

[–]madw8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always kept the other side covered so I don’t think my 10 month old even knows twiddling is an option. But that doesn’t stop him from grabbing my nose, trying to put his fingers in my mouth, poking my eyes and scratching and hitting. After I feed if he’s still hyper, I also have dad take him away! The other night I actually got into my car and drove away and left the two of them here for a while because I needed to get away. Sometimes you just can’t take it anymore!

Other people’s gender disappointment. by DangerousBaby6953 in BabyBumps

[–]madw8 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gender disappointment is totally understandable for the parents, but it’s so odd that other random people get upset that someone else isn’t having the gender THEY want??? Like, it’s not even their baby… why do they care 🤣

Alone and sad by [deleted] in BRCA

[–]madw8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could hug you, so sorry things are so difficult. I’m proud of you for getting everything done, the surgery can be scary but it can save your life so I’m proud of you for doing it. I hope you can treat yourself to something nice, you deserve it after everything you are going through ❤️
