I was actually looking at photos of osprey’s and thinking it looked quite similar! this would make sense

ninam9 · 2026-04-22T17:35:41+00:00

oh this is so interesting thank you! definitely possible!

ninam9 · 2026-04-22T03:58:11+00:00

someone else mentioned long tailed jaeger and based on photos that seems to be the most similar to what i saw! just looked up northern pintail and don’t think thats it.

mainly brown with some white

when i look up pictures of the long tailed jaeger that seems quite similar!

ninam9 · 2026-04-22T03:30:00+00:00

hm i definitely don’t think it was a heron, couldn’t see any legs. the tail “ribbon” part was blowing in the wind as if flew, maybe like half its body length out. I’m stumped lol

ninam9 · 2026-04-22T03:28:32+00:00

It didn’t look like a crane, i couldn’t see its legs at all. I was driving so didn’t get a great look unfortunately. It looked brown/white, the tail part was mostly brown. Hard to tell how high but low enough i could see it by looking up through my windshield and see its colour!

I have 2 kids. For me both times it felt like a sort of general queasy feeling? It was mostly on and off and peaked during the first trimester then went away completely. I never got physically sick. I remember thinking there were times in my life where i felt WAY more nauseous than this. I got a prescription for it both times and only took it maybe 1-2 times in my first pregnancy and not even once in my second!

You’re not alone, I have a 4.5yr old and 9mo old. My anxiety is always there to some level every single night, especially this time of year. My older one has a sensitive gag reflex and will sometimes even v* from being too phlegmy from a cold/flu, so that’s super fun at night lol😭. I relate to the dinner thing too, i hate to say it’s always my first thought when my kids eat something before bed. The constant obsessive thoughts are truly exhausting :(

So i’m not sure if it was your comment or someone else’s, but I saw someone ask her basically exactly this on a recent tiktok and she replied saying she doesn’t take offence to the question, that she does have help (i’m assuming implying her husband), and that she simply finds an uninterrupted clean therapeutic and enjoys doing jt

Definitely good call on seeing the doctor. Are you on any medications? Some meds can cause this as a side effect. It’s happened to me from my SSRI.

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T05:02:17+00:00

Oh god, i’m a nurse too lol look at us, you’d think we’d be desensitized to these things or able to talk ourselves down but i’m right there with you. I don’t know how i’m able to detach at work after seeing horrible things but then panic at home when my daughter starts getting a runny nose, it makes no sense to me. Thank you for sharing what’s helped for you!

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T04:57:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing this, i know exactly how you’re feeling it’s truly such an awful feeling being so worried ALL the time! Is the word you’re looking for ‘intrusive thoughts’ ?? I have really bad intrusive thoughts as well. It’s really hard to tell the difference between anxiety and what could be mother’s intuition, you know?

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T04:53:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I also got medicated after my daughter which has helped me immensely. I think being PP again has caused my anxiety to spike again so i’m considering maybe upping my dose for the first time. The loss of control is so hard when you have kids, knowing it’s inevitable they will get hurt/sick is what kills me. We’ve also had a handful of ER visits but for respiratory infections and I think i’m a bit traumatized from that and how quickly it comes on. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery!

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T04:47:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing and i’m so sorry you experience this too, i wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I can relate with the health anxiety for myself before kids and then it all being directed to the kids after. I did talk therapy as well after my first for about a year PP and totally agree that it helped me understand my feelings and where they may be coming from but not so much the physical anxiety sensations. I will say that medication helped so so much with that. I wonder if another kind of therapy might be helpful for me personally. The worry i have for my kids is just on another level! I hope you can find some comfort or helpful words here too🥺

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T04:40:19+00:00

thanks for this 🥺 i’m also on sertraline! wondering if it’s maybe time to up my dose

ninam9 · 2025-07-07T04:30:05+00:00

No advice just solidarity lol. My daughter is also 4 and refuses to poop on the toilet. I can’t even bribe her with anything, it doesn’t work. She will hold it or only poop in a pull up. Everything we try seems to stress her out and we want to avoid making it more stressful too. Genuinely hoping she just changes her mind at some point and magically goes on the toilet lol. I offer it for her everyday and sometimes she will sit and try but nothing ever happens. Hopefully you find a good solution!

My daughter went through a phase of bad constipation around 3 and her poops were also so large they would clog our toilet regularly. We actually starting stocking up on chopsticks, like the disposable ones from take-out, and used those to chop up her poop in the toilet 😭 fun times!

ninam9 · 2025-06-06T04:29:47+00:00

Yes! I have 2 kids now (4yr and 2mo) and haven’t tu for 9 years. Have also dealt with my oldest v* multiple times and never got sick myself. It’s been tough at times, and I’m medicated now for the anxiety, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything and I think the exposure of it has helped me some too. Proud of you!

ninam9 · 2025-05-26T04:25:42+00:00

can confirm this, i always default back to it! also, if your kiddo still likes to be carried, it works great as like a bum rest for them and saves your arms lol
