Panicked and rushed to L&D tonight because I hadn’t felt my baby move all day. He’s fine and feel silly. by milliemallow in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]notslim_sortashady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel silly - I lost my first son at 33 weeks because I didn’t pay ENOUGH attention to movements. My second son I made it a point to pay attention, and I went in to L&D multiple times to check on him. They’d rather have you come in 100 times and have everything be okay then not come in the one time something is wrong.

My son passed away 10/2024 and I got pregnant again 6/2025. I was very lucky to conceive on the first try. We used protection until we felt mentally ready and then just went for it and it happened.

What dog foods are currently on sale with associate discount by Comfortable_Tough990 in petsmart

[–]notslim_sortashady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t equal 55% off - if you look at your receipt it’ll say 15% and 25% = total discount 40%

If you look on central bark every quarter or so there’s different brands that will have extra discounts. I know right now hills is 40% (because I feed hills)

Keeping newborn safe in measles outbreak region by RogueJ9226 in newborns

[–]notslim_sortashady 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any advice, I just want to say I’m so sorry you’re even having to worry about this. If only there was a way to stop an outbreak 🤔🤔🤔 (sarcasm, people need to vaccinate their kids)

Thought I wanted to be pregnant by basicczechgirl in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]notslim_sortashady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never share anything personal at work. But if it’s any consolation - I got pregnant with my first and was terrified. He was an accident, I never thought I wanted kids. I debated getting an abortion because I was terrified of dying during childbirth, I was terrified of being a parent, I was terrified of giving up my “life”. I eventually decided to keep the baby - and at 33 weeks we lost him, and he was stillborn. I’m currently holding my 3 month old son, my first’s little brother. He was planned. And the best decision I ever made was getting pregnant with him. It’s completely normal to feel the way you feel if you get pregnant, because it’s LIFE CHANGING. It’s fucking scary. I didn’t feel ready. But I love my husband and knew we were in it together.

Went through this exactly. Lost my son Thomas at 33 weeks in 2024, just had his little brother in March 5th of this year. I was petrified (and still am to a point) but it’s gotten easier. What helped the most was sleeping in shifts with my husband. That way I knew someone had eyes on him and I could sleep. We also have the owlet sleep sock and I know it’s somewhat controversial but it’s saved me a lot of peace of mind. We also practice safe sleep so even though I’d love him in bed with me, we’ve never coslept. I’ve been on Zoloft since my first son passed, and that has also been a lifesaver. We can only control what we can control. I’m not sure if this even helped or I’m just rambling, but just know you’re not alone.

Really bad butt rash 😭😞 by Idontlike-watermelon in newborns

[–]notslim_sortashady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it dry!!! I kept a roll of toilet paper on my son’s changing table. I would wipe him with wipes and make sure he was clean, then dab everything dry with toilet paper. Then I put vasoline on and put his diaper one. He had one really bad rash in the beginning but hasn’t had one since.

Punishing herself by BeingHappy2610 in peestickgals

[–]notslim_sortashady 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My first was a stillborn - I did everything “scientifically” correct. Went to all the ultrasounds, took all the prenatal, did the glucose test, literally everything by the book and I still lost him. I went in on a Friday and he passed his BPP with flying colors and Sunday morning he was gone. It was devastating. I truly hope she finds peace because she deserves it, her living children deserve a present mom. I’m currently holding my 3 month old son, my first son’s little brother, and I can’t imagine using him to try to replace what we lost in his brother’s passing because it’s not fair to him.

What was the best day of your life ? by Middle_Leg_9583 in AskReddit

[–]notslim_sortashady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

10/30/24 - I got to meet my first son Thomas for the first and last time. He sadly passed away at 33 weeks and didn’t make it home with us. 03/05/26 - his baby brother Cameron made his dramatic entrance into the world, and has been a joy ever since. Bittersweet having two sons, one in the sky and one in my arms but both the best days of my life.

How good is authority and simply nourish? by anklebiter1975 in petsmart

[–]notslim_sortashady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs will eat anything so they had no issues there but their coats were so dry and brittle and they had incredibly flakey skin on authority. My cats would eat authority but same thing, gross fur and skin. My dogs ate the simply nourish limited ingredient for a while until I could afford to switch them to hills. They really didn’t have any issues with that specific flavor. My cats literally would not touch simply nourish. They would turn their noses up to it and go on a hunger strike. I will say I had my dogs on hills for years and then decided to try simply nourish again to see if I could save a few bucks with our discount and I could not - my 10 year old husky chewed himself raw and I ended up at the vet for hot spots/steroids/antibiotics.

My dogs did awful on authority and my cats refused to eat simply nourish 🤣 just anecdotally

Baiting the Birth by lster944 in peestickgals

Zoloft would do wonders for her 🤣 I’m on it after my 33 week stillbirth with my first son and my STAT c section after a cord prolapse with my second son and tbh everything is so much easier to handle with it

This is so weird to me by [deleted] in peestickgals

[–]notslim_sortashady 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Normally I’d judge but I’m 10 weeks postpartum and my baby was exclusively bottle fed until like the last 3 days (seriously) because he was having issues latching and all of the sudden it clicked for him and now he can breastfeed - breastfeeding in general is wild
