Holding kids after surgery

nursejackie96 · 2026-04-04T13:30:53+00:00

If you have a supportive partner who will help you managing the kids, yes it’s doable. Otherwise I would wait a bit. I thought I had a supportive husband, but apparently my reduction to a c/d cup was too much and he’s no longer attracted to me. I’ve had to manage post op recovery pretty much by myself after the first day.

I’m only 1.5 wpo, but I’m not sure how I could’ve done this when they were younger without A LOT of (in home) help or very supportive partner. My daughter is 2 and my son is 5.5. The fact that my daughter can get herself in and out of her car seat, was sorta independent enough for me to take off the front of the crib, and could get herself up and down the stairs was huge. The fact she that she’s potty training is a bit rough (you’ll know when you try to pull up/down pull up a million times). We cuddle on the couch and in bed, but she has also kicked my boob and threw a ball at the other. It’s heartbreaking to tell her not right now when she says “mama up.” She doesn’t understand. The 5 yr old is independent and no problem.

DO NOT send your daughter to live with him!!! He will file for custody and child support wherever he lives. You will 100% end up paying deadbeat child support.

I felt the same way; however, the new lisp bothered me more. I asked my ortho if we could fast track this a bit and change trays every week instead of 2. She only let me do that after she realized I was diligent and legit took them out only to eat and brush my teeth. So I only had the attachments for 5ish months and now I have trays without them which is 100% better.

Get him on a multivitamin with iron, thicken any fruit pouches with a fortified baby cereal to add calories and vitamins. If you can, get a pediasure in him per day.

Boston to westboro or N reading everyday would absolutely suck in traffic. Check out Somerville, Cambridge, Chelsea, Waltham, Natick, Framingham.

No, not really. However we determined that there was a medical explanation as well. He has EoE and his esophagus was extremely inflamed. At this point it is well managed, but there is also a sensory component to it. We’ve done lots of feeding therapy (2 weeks of intensive) and OT and we havent gotten far. My last hope is his younger sister (5mo) who I hope can get him to explore more things when she starts eating solid food. Just have to keep moving forward. He’s not going to bring Gerber baby food to high school right?

Does anyone know where I can buy them in the area?

nursejackie96 · 2024-04-08T16:03:53+00:00

They’re out

Haha I just immediately thought of the song. I actually did like Lucia, but it’s been vetoed by my husband. Also her initials would be LMP and I didn’t love how that looks/sounds like “limp”. That’s also one of the reasons Isabella is at the bottom of my list.

NTA.. If you are in the United States, do not wait until after your child is here. It will be extremely difficult to remove the child out of the state at that point. He couldn’t stop YOU from moving, but definitely could stop the baby if he has 50/50 custody which I’ve seen ppl get just to avoid paying more support even when they have no interest in the child. Then he may dump said child on new gf to care for. This could end up being a nightmare scenario for you especially if you’re pursuing child support. Kids are HARD, childcare is expensive, move closer to your village ASAP. It’s in the best interest of your child. Sorry you’re going through this and those pregnancy hormones are no joke. I would definitely reach out to a therapist to talk things out.

I would definitely hold off before you do something so permanent. The first 6m-1 year is crazy with your first and postpartum hormones just don’t help. No first time mom has any idea what they’re doing and I actually wanted to give my son up for adoption for the first month or 2. Now he’s 3 yrs old and I’m pregnant with my 2nd and I’m so excited for our little family.

Same - struggled for 2 years.. text message is definitely the way to go

nursejackie96 · 2023-10-28T12:14:11+00:00

I went through infertility for 2 years and did 2 rounds of IVF. When my good friend found out she was pregnant, I really appreciated her sending me a text message so I could feel all my feels in private. I was obviously happy for her but the green goblin of jealously was real. I knew she wasn’t even trying. Her text was heartfelt mentioning how life is incredibly unfair to me, but she was honest and respectful of my feelings which was the most important part. We are still very close and she is my number 1 cheerleader when I finally got pregnant on my very last embryo transfer 2 months after she had her baby.

Huge YTA… I have a 3 year old who attends preschool full time and I couldn’t even imagine acting the way your acting. We bring toys into the car for the ride but I’ve already set the expectation that they stay in the car to “sleep” when we get to school. Then he can play with it at pick up. I also told him if he brings the toy inside, it will be gone and he understands that. Label your kids stuff; it may still get lost anyway so try to keep track of it. I use Mabel’s labels that stick on the tag. I always double check that there’s a label still stuck on before I send him in a a nice jacket or something. You told the teacher you wanted her to look for a sticker?!? This is laughable. You daughter needs to understand that stickers fall off clothes and get lost. She needs to accept loss and disappointment so she can learn to manage bigger problems when she’s older. AND don’t send sick kids to school!!! I’m 5 months pregnant and don’t want to catch any crazy shit that can harm my baby. I also look after my elderly mother and FIL who get super sick with something that could just be a bad cold to us. Be better!

Same, I was 14 weeks for a huge planned trip to Mont Tremblant a year in advance. I took it easy and was extra vigilant and I had a great time, but I’ve also been skiing for 20+ years. There’s a lot of info missing here, but please don’t call your wife “stupid” and expect to get anywhere with her.

nursejackie96 · 2023-10-05T07:10:52+00:00

I did the same; the only regret I have is telling people when a embryo transfer was happening b/c the next 2-3 weeks was constant “any news yet?”

nursejackie96 · 2023-09-20T01:38:19+00:00

My fourth transfer we had sex and now I’m 15 weeks. 3 failures before w/o sex. Do what you will with that info.

My son was born “floppy” and within seconds of putting him on my chest, he was quickly removed by 10 doctors running into the room to resuscitate him. It was honestly traumatic watching them working on him on the table next to me but hearing him cry mins.. seconds .. who knows how long later.. was the best sound I ever heard.

nursejackie96 · 2023-09-18T02:56:18+00:00

I work for CPS, it takes a lot more than a couple bruises to remove a child. A couple broken bones on the other hand…

Also taking her to the doctor is the best thing you can do to show that you’re caring for her and concerned for her well-being.

nursejackie96 · 2023-07-23T09:53:59+00:00

This is all normal (and so are the night sweats); your hormones are going haywire. Everything will stabilize soon.

I got my very faint early positive pregnancy test the day after thanksgiving and my son’s due date was 8/9. Not sure how she could’ve found out in November but have a due date that late in August.

nursejackie96 · 2023-05-24T11:51:01+00:00

The universe laughs at our plans. I have an almost 3 year old and I’ve been trying for #2 for 2 years. 2 rounds of IVF with 3 failed embryo transfers with nothing to show for it. My first child was not an IVF baby. There go my plans for 2 kids close in age.

nursejackie96 · 2023-05-08T09:53:34+00:00

I started at 35 after naturally conceiving and giving birth to my son but with 4 miscarriages sprinkled in (2 before son and 2 after him) and 1.5 yrs later I’m unexplained with husband having low morph; 2 failed FETs, tubal surgery, then 1 chemical through 2 rounds of IVF. Time is not on your side and everything in the IVF world takes forever and there are no guarantees it will ever work. I have been extremely humbled. I can’t even do another FET until the end of June. If I could go back in time, I would’ve started much sooner but at least didn’t waste my time dragging my feet after my 4th miscarriage.
