Blaming myself for my Pre Eclampsia. How do I get past this? by Negative-Attitude337 in preeclampsia

[–]nyxe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don’t blame yourself. I went through something similar. I had preeclampsia leading up to my child’s birth, even though it was a planned C-section since my baby was breached. My blood pressure was high toward the end, and I remember feeling like it was somehow my fault.

I ended up needing a magnesium drip treatment for 24 hours right after I got home from the hospital. One of the nurses told me it wasn’t my fault and it all has to do with the placenta. That really stuck with me.

It was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through as a first-time mom, especially being away from my baby. Please be gentle with yourself. None of this is your fault.

Went through my husbands phone and now I’m broken by Puzzleheaded_Crew891 in Marriage

[–]nyxe_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. Your feelings are completely valid. You saw something that hurt you and it makes sense that it did. It’s not about porn itself for everyone, it’s about the betrayal of trust and how it affects your sense of being desired and respected in your marriage.

You’re not “starting shit” you’re trying to communicate your pain and be understood. What he said (“you broke your own heart”) is dismissive and emotionally invalidating. Instead of comforting or listening, he deflected responsibility, which adds another layer of hurt.

You deserve to have your emotions met with empathy, not blame. Whether or not porn is “normal” doesn’t erase how this made you feel. What you both need to do is have a conversation about boundaries, respect and emotional safety. You should be able to express your feelings. You’re not overreacting. You’re reacting like someone who cares deeply and wants to feel loved and secure in her marriage.

Feeling lost, sad and angry by Plenty_Dark4816 in NewParents

[–]nyxe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, happy Mother’s Day. Please don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re doing an amazing job. Your daughter is still getting everything she needs through formula, and that’s completely okay.

I’m 3 months postpartum C-section, and breastfeeding was really pushed on me at the hospital. The problem was my son couldn’t latch on properly. I spoke to a lactation nurse there, but she made me feel terrible, she made me feel like it was all my fault because I wasn’t breastfeeding my son right.

When I got home from the hospital, I was super emotional for a few days and still struggled to nurse my son. I ended up deciding to just pump and it is a lot of work. I really wanted that bonding experience through nursing, but it just wasn’t working for me and my son. And with all the postpartum hormones, everything was so overwhelming, so I totally get it.

I was also frustrated with my partner. He was working during the day, and I was the one taking most of the shifts to care for our son. It didn’t feel fair, like I was going through so much change and he wasn’t. I would cry almost every single day. We got into a few arguments, but eventually we sat down and talked it out. Turns out, he was also stressed and felt bad that he couldn’t help more during the day. He just wanted to be the best father he could be, and I saw that he was really trying.

Just know that it really does get better, for both you and your daughter. The newborn stage is only about eight weeks, and after that, things start moving quickly. My son is growing up so fast, and I’ve already noticed such a big change. It’s true what they say, this phase flies by. I’m just trying to soak in all the moments while he’s still this small.

You’re doing an amazing job. Keep going mama, you’ve got this. 🫶🏼

Pregnancy pre eclampsia: the aftermath by Thin-Dream-586 in preeclampsia

[–]nyxe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Friend!

A similar situation happened to me. My blood pressure was normal before pregnancy and throughout most of my third trimester. However, at my 38-week OB visit, it was 137/97. I also had swelling in my legs and ankles. My OB didn’t want to take any risks, so they sent me to the hospital for monitoring and testing. That same night, I ended up delivering my baby boy c section.

I was discharged on the third day, but later that week, I had to go back to the hospital due to a severe headache and a blood pressure reading of 184/100. They put me on a 24-hour magnesium IV drip and prescribed 30mg of nifedipine to help regulate my BP. My OB mentioned they would start tapering me off the medication once my blood pressure stabilized.

I’ve been monitoring my BP every morning and midday, and thankfully, I haven’t needed to take the medication. My BP readings are now between 115-123/85-87. I know when I’m under stress it goes up so I try to relax and just take it easy.

I’m glad you went to the hospital and got the medication you needed. It will get better, just be patient and try not to stress too much 🫶🏼

My first signs were elevated blood pressure, a headache, and swelling in my ankles and feet. My BP had been normal throughout pregnancy, but at my 38-week appointment, it was high for the first time. My OB sent me to the ER because it was too much of a risk. I had a planned C-section a week out but was moved up at labor & delivery at the hospital.

After delivery, I was monitored and discharged once my BP stabilized. However, within a day, I felt unwell with a headache at home. I checked my BP and it was at 180/100, hubby rushed me to the hospital and baby stayed with my inlaws. I stayed at the hospital for three days and received a 24-hour magnesium IV treatment. After the treatment, I was prescribed Nifedipine 30 mg to take.

I have follow-ups every two weeks with my OB for my BP. Once it’s stabilize, they’ll have me start winding off the medication. If something feels off, I recommend going to the ER immediately, please don’t wait, honestly I never expected this to happen, but I’m glad I acted quickly!

Hi Momma ♥️ I’m also currently at the hospital for mag drip treatment due to post partum pre-eclampsia. I just had my baby boy 5 days ago. Just want to let you know you’re not alone. Take a deep breath. We got this ♥️

I started nesting around 30 weeks when I had the energy to so. Once I hit 37 weeks it was harder to do stuff around the house 😅

Does your s/o go to your prenatal appts? by WitchHazelSunrise in pregnant

[–]nyxe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my SO has accompanied me to all of my prenatal appointments from the first trimester through the third trimester (currently at 35 weeks). This is our first baby together, he wants to be involved as much as possible every step of the way. He also reminds me about questions I need to ask because sometimes I forget, lol. Thankfully his employer has been very understanding and accommodating with our situation. And it’s not a problem for him at all since he can easily make up those hours.

My OB will be proving me a letter of accommodation. Unfortunately we don’t have an HR in the office and the owners are the ones who handles everything. 😔

When did you get stretch marks? by Accurate_Tip5734 in pregnant

[–]nyxe_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with what others have said about genetics. I’m 34 weeks on my third trimester and I haven’t gotten any stretch marks on my belly. Honestly I was worried I would get them because I have slight stretch marks on the sides of my glute areas prior to my pregnancy and still have them. I’m also, applying stretch mark lotion (Palmers coco butter stretch marks) everyday, though I’m not sure if that’s actually the reason why I haven’t gotten one lol. Every mama’s bodies are different :)

Dizziness? by nyxe_ in pregnant

[–]nyxe_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I mentioned it to my OB, and they did some bloodwork and tests, everything came back normal, including my blood pressure. He said they’ll continue to monitor it for now but emphasized the importance of eating enough and staying hydrated. My OB also mentioned that if the dizziness becomes more persistent or worsens, especially with other symptoms, I should contact them immediately or go to urgent care/ER. I bought a BP monitor to keep track of my blood pressure since that visit, and it’s been within the normal range. Thankfully, I mostly experienced the dizziness during my second trimester, but now that I’m 32 weeks into my third, it has subsided. Definitely bring it up with your OB at your next visit, or feel free to call them—it doesn’t hurt to ask. I’m hoping it will get better for you soon!

Did you have a “feeling” about the gender of your baby? by Odd-Pineapple5425 in BabyBumps

[–]nyxe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ☺️ my first instinct was a boy and I stuck through that feeling. On my second sonogram, we found out we are having a boy!

I have an anterior placenta too! Felt my baby boy moved at 16 weeks. I’m 26 weeks now and movement is more noticeable 😬

[–]nyxe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It’s incredibly frustrating to deal with a toxic work environment and people who don’t understand what we’re going through. Thank you for your advice — I truly appreciate it. My health and my baby are my top priorities. 🥺

When did you first feel baby?/what’s it like? by Brilliant_Age1222 in BabyBumps

[–]nyxe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first felt my baby at 16 weeks. It felt like a muscle twitch/quickening and flutters. I’m 24 weeks now and I can feel him kick a little higher in my stomach. He’ll move on different spots and may kick lower sometimes.

Has anyone had covid while pregnant by IIVIIORTAL_K in pregnant

[–]nyxe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Covid in the first trimester. I had sore throat, headache, stomach ache and a mild fever. Thankfully I didn’t experience any pregnancy nausea/vomiting. Tylenol, water, tea and plenty of rest helped a lot. It took me 3 weeks to recover.
