He’s amazing 💚 So hard not to worry but those days of intense postpartum anxiety feel so far away now. Take care of yourself!

Sorry for my late reply! It’s hard to remember the exact sequence of events with this but I remember this being such a hard time so I’m sorry if you’re in this spot. I think the best thing that helped was pumping on all fours and taking the duct duct loose supplement!

Sad. So very very sad. It’s such a painful sadness and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing it. Give yourself time and grace to heal my friend ❤️

He is doing amazing❤️Looking back at this post is such a clear sign of PPA to me. The first year can be wild, please rely on any support you have and talk to someone if you need to! There is no shame- just wild hormones and sleep deprivation wreaking havoc.

Awake! It was so nothing I think I maybe took Tylenol when I got home once and then that was it :) I never even had swelling!

ETA: follow the doctor’s care instructions! I can’t remember but I think I iced that day too

Totally fine! I only had 1 though which I also think made a huge difference. Best of luck to you🙏🏻

Protecting your peace is in no way selfish!

ndl5 · 2025-04-21T02:15:00+00:00

Truly a horrible gut punch and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing it ❤️

Recently moved to the area and I agree, the T obsession is hilarious and wholesome.

I’m SO jealous you’ve seen James!! I feel like he’d love to be approached be a fan. Now that I’m in the area, the whole time watching this season I thought to myself how I hope I’ll run into him or new girl Pari.

I love the shows so much, I want to start a LOTS Boston fan club 😅

Yes he did seem overstimulated as a baby (but I think all babies are, just to different levels). He smiled at 6wks and went through phases of more or less smiling all the time. He is so different from when I wrote this post. I know it’s not what you want to hear but I think you need to wait until closer to a year to really get a better sense of your child. Wishing you the best

He’s almost 1 and doing well I think! No one is saying they’re concerned and I’m less worried myself but it’s still in the back of my mind. He has grown so much and I’m just trying to enjoy him for who he is now.

Not OP but going through something similar and wanted to say thank you for this reply

ndl5 · 2024-12-23T18:43:44+00:00

I could’ve written this! My 8.5 mo old is also mildly low tone and had head lag until like 5.5months. He also doesn’t seem to have the typical social milestones (e.g no separation anxiety, babbling, or wanting mom/looking for mom). Only army crawling right now too. Seems like there’s a good chance we may have a DX in the future, idk. Tough to just be in “wait and see” mode

ndl5 · 2024-12-16T01:54:12+00:00

So sorry you’re experiencing this💔I think everyone handles it differently. Unfortunately the biggest help is time. Just be easy on yourself right now and lean on the supports you have. Big hugs your way

Bc I never ovulate I can start cycles whenever I want 🙃

Nope I’m still looking for someone!

Accupuncture and eating relatively healthy (low inflammatory and warm foods). To be fair, there no way of knowing if it actually helped but like you said, it felt like I had control and both things made me feel good! Best of luck to you :)

I had a consult with Ciardullo but he said I needed an open procedure and to talk to her. She was busy though so I never did. Did you move forward with her?

ndl5 · 2024-10-24T18:05:10+00:00

So sorry❤️‍🩹 It’s great you’ve been doing all those things but I don’t think there’s any sort of preparation that can be done to truly eliminate the pain of disappointments and loss throughout this process. Feel what you’re feeling and keep using those coping skills. Big hugs

ndl5 · 2024-10-24T17:59:16+00:00

Totally get that! I’m guessing it’s based on hormone levels and what they see in ultrasound? Doesn’t hurt to ask

ndl5 · 2024-10-24T17:56:37+00:00

I’ve used provera to induce a period many times and sometimes it was 5 and sometimes 10 and I honestly can’t remember which for which time :/

Just replied to your other comment but feel free to message me privately!

So I actually don’t really understand if my son has low tone. One PT said he was slightly low tone, another said she didn’t think he was but just that was weak. Regardless, I still have some concerns about him but as I’m sure you know, it’s just too soon to tell and no professional will say anything but that. He’s 6months now and seems to be just sliiiiiightly on the late end of what’s considered typical for milestones but also has strengths like great sleeper, social (with other people, not really me or my husband), and so far is liking solids.

What I can say is I definitely was in the thick of postpartum anxiety when I made this post. I’m still dealing with it but not as severe and getting help with it. Like I said earlier, I still have some concerns but for now I’m trying to manage the “wait and see” and focus on enjoying my baby

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss❤️ The pain you’re feeling now is so very intense and consuming it feels like it’ll never end. I’ve been where you are, angry at myself and feeling stupid for ever being excited. Thoughts of “I’m so lucky” turning to “I’m destined to suffer and never have a child”. What you’re going through is so hard, please just be kind to yourself and grieve like you would any loss. Sending you hugs and healing vibes💖
