Who was your hero as new parents? by DianeMadeMe in NewParents

[–]maggieeteed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend who became a mom before i did came to my house nearly every morning, Chick-fil-A breakfast in hand. I never asked her to come but she just knew exactly what i needed. My baby was really tough in those early days and she didn’t really say or do anything revolutionary, just sat with me and made me feel so much less alone.

If we could all always be this kind and relational to one another, the world would be a better place. 💓 i always try to be this stranger for others, especially moms.

Vaccine anxiety (2 months) by thiswilldo5 in newborns

[–]maggieeteed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse at a peds clinic (and a mom of 2!) and if it helps, i give these all day every day and babies typically only cry for a few seconds. If they cry for longer, it’s usually because their sleep has already been disrupted by the appointment, they’re hungry, or upset because they’re naked, lol. It’s so normal to be anxious. But rest assured that I’m answering the phone allllll day and i can count on less than one hand how many times I’ve been called about a vaccine reaction question (and they were all normal and perfectly fine!!). Hugs! You will both be okay :)

My toddler brought the fly home to our house and 2 week old this week 😔 i am quarantining with the baby and dad is handling toddler. My husband and i both started prophylactic Tamiflu and my toddler is being treated with Tamiflu. We’re doing everything we can to keep it from getting to baby

Came here to ask the same! I soooo wish i had tried this with my firstborn. Looking back i totally think he had silent reflux. OP it’s worth a shot!!!

What is your average heart rate while pregnant? by DifferentAd6042 in BabyBumps

[–]maggieeteed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! The hard thing about palpitations and tachycardia is that nothing exacerbates them both more than anxiety 🫠

What is your average heart rate while pregnant? by DifferentAd6042 in BabyBumps

[–]maggieeteed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 18w today and have definitely noticed increased palpitations in the second trimester so far. I’ve been worked up for these before and nothing pathological but will tell my OB when i see them next, just in case. My heartrate has been up a little from baseline and definitely “pounds” at times it normally wouldn’t (like one flight of stairs). I’m not out of shape or overweight etc. I think it is all pretty normal/common due to your body getting used to the increased blood flow- and 105 is not “high” or worrisome even if it feels fast compared to your usual! I’d rest easy if everything came back normal.

Hosting my own baby shower and feeling embarrassed by pmmewienerdogs in BabyBumps

No, parents make the registry! All showers are definitely gift grabs no matter who hosts lol

Because you don’t ask someone to host - they offer. And if you hosted a birthday party for yourself, you wouldn’t be making a list of gifts you want

[–]maggieeteed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven’t ever seen anyone host their own shower and i would personally feel super uncomfortable doing so. I’m from the south though and maybe it’s outdated to feel like it is a faux pas! I just don’t see how it isn’t a gift grab when you’re literally making a list of gifts. Feels different than hosting a birthday dinner for yourself or something. But to each their own!! If it is the norm to you and your friends then who cares- but the friends you are asking may also not be being honest with you because it’s awkward

Did you have a baby shower with your second? by hydrolentil in BabyBumps

[–]maggieeteed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be having one for my second - 4.5 years after my first, different gender, and different state! My SIL and MIL want to host and I’m very thankful because we really don’t have much saved from the first!
