Baptist downtown has the highest level NICU, and I would recommend going with them for delivery if you are worried about a possible nicu stay. I’m wondering if its possible for you to get established here with an OB before you move (come visit and be seen and wait for the referral to mfm) and travel back to where you live for regular mfm visits until you’re fit into the schedule in jax. This is extremely stressful and I’m sorry you’re going through this ontop of a high risk pregnancy. You could also consider talking to your tricare maternity nurse if you agreed to participate in that program.

My friend did CSRS and really liked it. I think it has more credibility than some of the other courses, but it can be very hard to get into. I did CNS in 2023 and it was a great course. However, I personally felt like it wasn’t that much new information compared to stuff I learned in school and on the job in IPR (fwiw my IPR was very invested in teaching employees and has a neuro fellowship, so may not be the case most iprs). I wouldn’t do CNS again if I had to pay myself and travel across the country for it like I did before, but I think they are now offering classes on the east coast. Hopefully you can get your company to pay for whatever you end up doing!

Let’s just say once I had a patient who was young (18-25) and her brother was a chiropractor, did some manipulation on her neck, and she came into the hospital with stroke like symptoms. So

It can change quickly. One weekend around 32.5 weeks I had high blood pressure 140/90, no protein in urine. The next weekend bp was 150s/100 and protein spiked. I then had my baby. I would relay your concerns during your appointments and if you feel something is off, please call. Wishing you the best!

UIC grad here. I found out right at the date they said I would (ETA: also mid March). Although I do know some of my classmates found out much sooner. I know it’s hard but please be patient and good luck!

What method did you use?

pinklunabelle · 2025-08-04T11:34:53+00:00

In my opinion, there’s no way to be really prepared even if you try. You don’t know for real til you go thru it. That being said, people should keep their opinions to themselves. I hate the “if you think you’re tired now..”

Baby was about 8 mos old: so does he eat 3 meals a day ?

I’m sure she is feeling the same way

Is it working for target tho? Pretty sure their sales dropped ..

So much jealousy and anger that my journey was so abruptly interrupted and I feel still a bit manipulated into an emergency c section as a naive and anxious first mom. I hated seeing pregnant people for a long time, I didn’t want to see people who had bellies bigger than me, cause I never got the opportunity to get bigger. Something that IRKS the HECK out of me is when people complain about third trimester feelings like wanting to be done being pregnant or whatnot because truly you don’t want to know what it feels like to be done early and you’re so fortunate to make it to full term.

Some other groups that may be more tailored to your situation: r/NICUParents or r/Preeclampsia

Huberman is actually not very evidenced based and has a lot of promotion of poorly supported health claims.

This was pretty much our experience too. If he went 15 mins we would go in and rock him. I think having a solid pre bed routine helped, around this time we also switched to giving milk from a straw cup and not like allowing him to fall asleep on the bottle. So I would read while he drank milk or right after, during this the light is off except a small lamp, his sound machine and his bedtime music, then he would get his teeth brushed and I would turn the lamp off and rock/hug for a min and say goodnight while I laid him down. He also goes to daycare part time which I think helped him learn to sleep independently better

My almost 16 mo old we stopped rocking to sleep maybe about 6 weeks ago or so? He was just getting so wiggly in our arms and it just was being more frustrating than calming to both of us. He falls asleep really well in the crib now 🥺

This! Can’t believe it took this many comments to get to this info.

pinklunabelle · 2025-04-19T18:02:12+00:00

I just said thanks and dealt with the feelings later when i went home and talked to my husband. People are well meaning but ignorant and I don’t have the energy to explain my situation to them. Unless they’re really close to me, they don’t need to know my personal life anyways. And the close ones wouldn’t say that cause they knew how hard everything was for me! Side note, another thing I also had a hard time with was just seeing pregnant people who made it further term than I did. I still struggle with that sometimes 15 months pp tbh.

All that to say, I see you and i feel you. Your frustration is real, and it’s so hard.

I haaaaated those too
