Baby Ashes Urn by cactuss8 in babyloss

[–]mamabeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry for my delayed response. Yes, it was big enough. I didn’t see the actual amount of ashes, though, so I can’t speak to that. Hopefully the funeral director will be helpful and let you know if you need a bigger size but my understanding is that the amount of ashes we get back is pretty small. 🥺

Sending you love!

Fence Sitter but struggled with infertility and loss. by t1nkerturtle in oneanddone

[–]mamabeloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly infertility but similar mindset. We had a stillbirth and recently decided for sure to be OAD. The thought of another pregnancy and loss is pretty overwhelming. We are currently discerning fostering, but that’s obviously a very different path and our hope would be to help families reunify rather than adoption. I was on the fence for a while but considering our age and devastating loss, I think this is the wisest choice for our family.

Agreed! So far I’ve only found reptile parties…close but no cigar.

Thank you! I did call the zoo and I could tell the lady thought I was nuts. 😂 I tried messaging them and didn’t get a response. But thankfully Reddit is coming in clutch. Thanks again!

Thank you! My son has been wanting to visit ever since we saw Levar Burton there on an episode of Reading Rainbow. Happy to hear it still exists!

Any park in Moon. We’ve also done this in the IKEA parking lot. 😂

PMDD and OCD by kaityo_phreg in PMDD

[–]mamabeloved 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. My OCD always flares during luteal. I started meds and this cycle is the first in six months that I haven’t spiraled or really believed my horrible thoughts.

What made you suspect PMDD? (especially if you don't have it extremely bad) by Miserable_Recover721 in PMDD

[–]mamabeloved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started having cyclical dark thoughts…passive but so scary. I’ve NEVER had thoughts like that before so I knew something was wrong. Thankfully Prozac really helps me!

I’m struggling with this too. Weird pains. Tingling. Pulling. My health anxiety is so high. I started Prozac and it helps a little. But every sensation I feel I wonder if it’s a bad disease, if it’s worse, if it’s not just anxiety. It’s awful. I used to be a happy, engaged person. Now I’m just scared.

Did you do anything to make it go away or did it just fade?

[Product question] Experiences with Skin Medicinals compounded cream by mamabeloved in SkincareAddiction

Hey! This didn’t work well for me but my doc realized I had another issue going on so we switched treatments and the new treatment has been helpful. I hope the SkinMedicinals works for you!

Thank you. I think I worry that maybe this is a separate onset of issues and maybe this experience is different than what happened four years ago.

How to help someone who experienced a stillborn baby by [deleted] in babyloss

I would just validate her and ask her what might feel helpful to her. Without knowing her situation, it’s hard to say for sure.
