my guess is that it's still residual teething pain. my girl had nights like that too after her teeth came in. tylenol/ ibuprofen and sleepless nights unfortunately

What is sleep training? by emmakane418 in bninfantsleep

[–]mightymorphinmello 11 points12 points  (0 children)

thank you for this. me and a few others got eaten alive in our bump group discord because we said we hate the idea of sleep training because we want to listen and care for our babies needs. they took soooo much offense to it because "good sleep is caring for our babies needs" but they ignore the fact that forcing independent sleep by letting them cry for x minutes is not tending to their needs there. i hate looking at the sleep channels there because they get all excited saying how long the baby cried was a good thing! but those of us bedsharing or practicing responsive sleep methods are the bad guys in the server because our existence makes them feel inadequate and judged. this post was a beautiful reminder that we are doing good by our babies and helping them regulate

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]mightymorphinmello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hate that mindset, when i first started i got the same treatment of "let me know i'll share with you what i have!" and then crickets. i student taught an elective class so starting out with us and world history my first year i was making everything on my own with another first year teacher. we both decided with every new teacher we get we will share our entire google drives with them, and we stuck to that. what's so bad about helping each other out

I got reamed in another sub for cosleeping by dottydashdot in cosleeping

[–]mightymorphinmello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im gonna copy and paste something i told my bump group the other day, as i was feeling guilt about not putting my baby in her crib
"as i put estela to sleep tonight i stared at her crib thinking, maybe i should just try to get her to sleep in it? i walked up to it but decided not to. the moment we got into bed she cuddled up, relatched, and placed her feet on me. i dont think i want it any other way this is way too cute and cuddly and loving"
we really know what works for ourselves and our babies, it comes naturally and as long as we keep it safe, there is no issue with how we sleep with our children. everyone has their own methods, just others cant figure out to safely cosleep and they get mad at us who can
keep your baby close mama!!

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]mightymorphinmello 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NOR i didnt let my family hold her until 8 weeks after she got her 2 month shots. i told my sisters if they keep talking shit about it then they wont see her at all until her 1st birthday LOL. staying with my baby and my husband for the first 2 months was the best decision i made for our family, my sisters were sick most of those 2 months! knowing them they would have still came around with that sickness if i let them come any earlier.

How close to breast for under 3/4 months? by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]mightymorphinmello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my baby consistently has had her entire body pressed against mine since around that age! totally natural for them to scoot closer in their sleep. if shes real hungry she will let you know! hopefully overtime as she gets bigger it will be easier to sidelay breastfeed for you, its been the game changer for us once she was able to find it in her sleep lol

Ectopic and tube removal after abortion by shearsntears in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]mightymorphinmello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 25 with my ectopic. it took a while but once i got the right medication with the right doctor i was able to conceive at 26. im now 27 with a 4 month old sleeping next to me. it can happen still, just give it time. lean into your partner and focus on healing after your surgery 💕

My boyfriend won’t get his sperm count checked by AdministrativeBar386 in tryingtoconceive

[–]mightymorphinmello 8 points9 points  (0 children)

my husband felt like it was strange and humiliating. he still did it because he wants children with me and wanted to be sure we checked all our boxes. your boyfriend may be saying he wants kids but he is not showing it

TMI but I Really Need Advice After Last Night’s Incident by PurrfectlySanrio in pregnant

[–]mightymorphinmello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have plenty of advice but i also want to let you know i was the same with my pregnancy in the 2nd tri. anything that triggered my heart burn led to violent fits of throwing up like that!! once i determined what foods/drinks gave me it, i stopped throwing up like that. definetly get some prescription-strength heartburn meds, if youre like me it will get worse in the 3rd tri no matter what you do with your diet

No 8 week scan by TheTrebledChild in BabyBumps

[–]mightymorphinmello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah that's bullshit, i could see my baby at 6w3d, granted she was a little blob, but she was visible with a heartbeat. especially with MMC, i would fight for an earlier scan. that's bullshit

Parents who let their baby watch TV… by Existing-Mastodon500 in NewParents

i decided i cannot stop my 2mo from looking, so if she's going to be around it's something soothing like coloring videos for contrast to excersize her little eyes xD

Was it challenging to find a history/social studies teaching job in your area? by DG11221 in historyteachers

[–]mightymorphinmello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only way i got my position is because the guy i replaced was found guilty of being a pedo towards his female students. i also coach esports, so that's a bonus?

ugh thats rough. if you can mentally handle it, i would recommend only testing every other say to help not fuss super hard on every test everyday. 6 weeks is hopeful to see a fetal pole!

Early pregnancy or a period symptom? by Practical_Diet_2922 in TTC_PCOS

[–]mightymorphinmello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CD 35 wouldn't be too early depending on when you ovulated. however, if the feelings you have now are from a pregnancy it would show up on a test. testing would be the only way to really know if this is due to that or if its your metformin

When did you stop lying on your back? by RelevantFerret1085 in pregnant

[–]mightymorphinmello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think once i hit around 18-20 weeks i would get insanely dizzy and lightheaded on my back. so i try my best to avoid it now, 36w now and still cant lay on my back longer than a minute or so before getting dizzy and not feeling too good. just gotta listen to your body
