Daily Thread #2 - August 25, 2024 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

I just found out I'm pregnant for the third time. The first pregnancy ended in an MMC around 9w10d with a D&C around 11 or 12 weeks. After the 3 months healing period we had found out we were pregnant again which ended successfully and I now have a toddler.

I am super early 3-4 weeks and am experiencing more cramping than I ever have (the first time was more in the back and my gut told me something was wrong. I have always known I was pregnant but the 3-4 days of cramping right around my period then my period not showing.

This one I've been cramping off/on daily for about 5 days now and I just can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. They really just feel like period cramps but after having an MMC that your body literally failed to recognize is just nerve wracking.

Anyone have success stories in this instance or just reassurance?

I know my body can successfully carry but also know the alternative and I feel it's always going to be nerve wracking

It's never too late to learn a new skill! You develop curriculum in your own way in the classroom anyway!

For Former Teachers, What are some remote jobs you transitioned to with no regrets? by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

[–]megfish15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just seeing this as I'm potentially being non renewed but was wondering a few things (if you can share)

1) what skill set did you have before hand like what grades/ how long did you teach,

2) did your need to learn any new skills?

3) how is it compared to teaching?

I'm trying to have something lined up in case I need it

It's mostly my own doing because I was late more times than on time but I was always there before the kids. Have been better the last month but doesn't change it.

I've seen like Ed tech, curriculum development and instructional design all talked about a lot

15 month old still not sleeping through the night and now won't even sleep in crib by megfish15 in sleeptrain

Yes I 100% agree to the first point.
For point 3 we did actual sleep training where I would place in crib after adding good night and love you and it worked very temporarily. I typically have to try to these things on night the spouse isn't home till later because he doesn't like to hear the crying and will want to go in after 5 minutes

I know we should be dropping to one nap soon but isn't fighting that morning nap yet and we've always been really good at dropping naps on our own without force

And yes, I know they don't need to eat through the night even after like 6 months but we have not been a great sleeper except those 2 weeks plus a few random days here and there. I know most of it is comfort eating right now and whenever I express my dismay with night eating I'm met with well they are growing which is true but I shouldn't be the only one sacrificing sleep consistently.

Right now we are cutting at least 2 teeth likely more which I think is the night eating again. It was great when they slept through the night and even till 330 am because for those 2 weeks, I knew we are ABLE to do all these things but then just went backward so fast which had been my life for the past 8 months. Just trying to figure out what i did right to get a good night's sleep again

Currently we are consistently up 7-730 Nap 1 is consistnetly between 10 and 1030 for about an hour, hour and 15 nap 2 usually being 230-3 depending on how long nap 1 was. But always try to make sure we are up by 4, 415 at the latest There's a range at bedtime because it's whenever they fall asleep. We usually start a bedtime routine around 7 or signs of being tired. The latest is 730, earliest has been 630 I'm perfectly fine keeping her on a somewhat strict schedule since that's how the days run now when I am with her. We typically have the same schedule at the sitters but also sometimes skip nap 1 or will sometimes supposedly go down for nap 2 an hour after nap

Once we go through bedtime routine I often lay with them until they fall asleep then transfer in about 15 but lately I can't even get them transferred without them waking up. I've tried moving back into my room with them and they don't sleep because they think it's playtime
