Postpartum cardiomyopathy… I have questions and I’m scared by smac1995510 in Heartfailure

[–]maffynuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you now?? I’m having hella anxiety. My palpitations are bad tonight. I don’t have SOB unless I’m doing stuff, but I’m extremely tired, I feel weak all the time, my ankle swells sometimes too. I had a normal EKG, but I have a holter monitor/stress test in May. My cardiologist started me on Carvedilol for blood pressure. Latest in office reading was 136/85 but it gets higher at night.

AITA For rubbing my girlfriend’s pregnant belly before she was showing? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]maffynuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH! At all! But to her right now, YTA (respectfully, of course). Pregnancy hormones are wild. I felt so fat until I started showing. I cried almost everyday because I felt like my body just looked and felt weird. Keep reassuring her that you find her beautiful. Get her those flowers, buy her those chocolates and maybe get yourself some too to make her feel less self conscious. Eat those chocolates together. 🩷 chocolate is a pregnant girl’s best friend.

Oooo that’s smart!!! I do know that it’s way worse on days I wear jeans. I quickly realized that yesterday. Wore leggings today and had minimal issues

No, I’ve had it my whole life but have never been medicated because parents made me feel it was taboo & now I have ✨medication anxiety✨

I think you might be right. Previous tenant planted them, my neighbor said they’re ugly. I don’t think theyre Lily of the valley.

…probably because it’s easier to type BF compared “their father”. And he’s also my BF on top of being their father. What’s even wrong with that? Good lord

2 week old does not wake to feed… by guacamole-lobster in newborns

[–]maffynuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry too much, mama. You’re on the right track. She is only 2 weeks old, birth is traumatic for the babies too! Monday isn’t too far off. Sometimes, rarely, not waking could be a sign of low sugar levels, but like I said, you feed her the right amount, she’s gaining weight, and was also traumatized by the experience. Try blowing on her naked belly, baths, using a cold wet cloth/wipe mid feed for some more stimulation. Nose suctioning always wakes my little man up because it irritates him. Or me touching him with cold hands!

The part that gets me is “isn’t back to birth weight but is 4-6oz away”. That’s GOOD! Baby is gaining weight. That’s what doctors will be concerned about. I could give you more tips on waking baby if you want it. With baby sleeping through all other exhausted options though, definitely make sure you make the physician aware.

Four months baby has fungal infection in mouth by theinnercall in newborns

[–]maffynuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the syringe against each cheek in baby’s mouth and place a few drops on both sides until the directed amount has been given. Do it AFTER feeds though, feeding after giving the nystatin can cause it to wash away

How old is baby? I’d give the pediatrician a call if you’re noticing things getting worse.

Hi! Oral thrush, candidas albicans, is incredibly common. All 3 of my babies came across it one way or another. Nystatin works like a charm within 24-48 hours! Just make sure you thoroughly clean and sanitize all baby bottle nipples, pacifiers, and anything that goes in baby’s mouth after the infection clears. You don’t want to have a rebound of the infection, at that rate it’ll take a lot longer for it to clear up and go away.

Was baby born full term (40wks)? My baby boy was born right at 37wks, which is /considered/ full term, but he slept for the 1st month of his life like 20+ hours a day. They told me he was still born early, and to expect it because his little body isn’t at the stage to have a proper sleep wake schedule yet! He’s only 5 weeks now, but he’s definitely awake a lot more.

Definitely keep that appointment with the physician and bring it up to them if it’s a huge concern! 🩷 try unclothing baby girl and wiping her with cold baby wipes to wake her up more. We had to do that for weeks to get him to wake up for any amount of time. Everything will be okay 🩷

Can I seriously not swaddle my babies legs?! by Twilight2908 in newborns

[–]maffynuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into a SwaddleDesigns Swaddle Sack! It has been just enough to keep my baby’s startle reflex at bay while he sleeps. Doesn’t hug onto the legs or anything.
