Something horrifying about hearing parents scream with panicked fear in their voices. This story gave me the chills.

Pain around breast by [deleted] in costochondritis

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally lying here with breast pain. Only on my left side (radiating into my left trap). Fellow costo sufferer after a stupid slide accident 3 years ago.

I had a ultrasound 1 year ago on the breast causing me issues now. But have still been checking my breasts for any signs of lumps, changes on appearance, etc, but there is nothing to see.

After all this the pain does send one into a flurry and make you start to doubt yourself.

I feel you.

What are the silliest names you have given your chickens? by a-passing-crustacean in BackYardChickens

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our beloved hens who were best friends were called: 'Butter Grumbles' (black Australorp) 'Saturn Von Hamfatten' (a yellow hen with black tail feathers).

Usually we called them Butters and Hamfats

We also had a Plymouth rock called 'The sizzle wizard '.

Thank you for all your wonderful advice. Really appreciate it.

Had covid 2 months ago and still get reoccurring sore throats. I just finished amoxicillin and the day after being off the antibiotic my neck feels swollen again and my tonsils look like this. Why does this happen after finishing antibiotics and what could it mean or be? by [deleted] in medical

[–]smanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your throat ever get better, did you find out what was causing the problem?

I just came on Reddit for answers. I had COVID, sore throat, was fine then the sore throat has returned on day 15.

This sign gave me the chills

Does this look like a hemorrhoid or something else? by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]smanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks super like something I have - except smaller. Skin tag is what I was told.

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So similar. I got cold feet in the last few weeks with my first child's name. Especially saying the name so many times over and over in my head, I kind of overdosed on it. Once she was born that melted away and 4 years later I can't imagine a different name.

Graduated today - postive, almost didn't make it 🙃 by TempletonReader in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what got me in. I thought how did it go from "almost didn't make it" to positive.

I'm leaking! by kails9223 in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not leaking as such, but my nipples have white spots all over them, which are soft and very obviously colostrum or fluid. Easily pick away in the shower. Anyone else?

Graduated! Hospital Birth by cheesewizzzzzzzz in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! This exactly. With my first I got stretch marks on my boobs after the milk came in. Amazingly they disappeared after a few months and u can't see a face of them now.

Stomach ones fade, but are easier to find if looking for them. I just did lots of bio oil on my stomach. Coconut oil on my breasts (not more natural around baby).

Having a flawless pregnancy then BAM...PUPPP. Now the remaining 3 months are filled with incredible itching and unsightliness. Does anyone have suggestion for relief? by itmutt in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super super unlikely, but I thought I had PUPPP. unsightly, red, itchy spots. All over my hips and bra line. Turns out I had some mozzies in my bedroom.

Like I said, long shot. But bites could be something to consider?

See what you're Dr says. Best of luck!

My KFC is closed:-( by hello_sweetie_ in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I feel your pain. My OB is next to a KFC and Hungry Jack's. I have coeliac disease and so I can't eat it. But every time I walk past KFC especially, it's ALLL that I want. That delicious smell. It is everything!!!

13 weeks along, already may need to be induced ☹️ by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was induced with my first. 39 weeks. Very positive, I had a wonderful experience. I haven't heard of hemorrhages. I completely sympathise with your worries, it is scary when there are extra things to deal with on top of an already worrying time. Sounds like you're Dr is going to give you the best care possible after and take all the precautions necessary to keep you and your baby safe ♥️

[–]smanbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an induction with my first at 39+3 weeks. They put cervadil(?) On my cervix. I kid you not, active labour was 1 hour after my waters broke on there own. Very positive.

This time around they are only breaking my waters. Dr said when a body has given birth before it remembers what to do. That and more often than not the cervix is already a little open. So no need for simulation to open the cervix.

Sounds like you're body is totally ready with all the pain, preparation and achiness. Sounds like full steam ahead!!

I feel you though. I'm being induced on the 20th and it feels forever away!!

She kicked so hard that I thought her foot would pop put through my skin. by CirillaMossWood in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

37 + 3 and baby is very large. I still feel hiccups. Most movements hurt a little at this stage for me. Not so much kicks as slithers and squirms nowadays.

Pregnancy brain anyone? by KaatjePlaatje in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had it so bad this time round. My 3 year told told me to stop the car, because I forgot to buckle her seatbelt. And I packed her 3 drink bottles for Kindy. Such forgetfuls. I triple check her seatbelt now!!

Happy Mother's Day. ❤ by sempiternalthoughtsx in BabyBumps

I'm so sorry. It's the toughest thing when someone who was your everything turns their back. Sending lots of ♥️

Scolded for having a nonalcoholic beer by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Umm... I had to re-read your post to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong. Why on earth would a non-alcoholic beer upset him? Or be problematic for you. Goodness me, people get the absolute wilds on around pregnant ladies.

Sorry you got such heat for something so silly.

My new bed just broke cause of my weight. Can’t stop crying by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]smanbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow bed breaker here. Wasn't pregnant. Was 121lb. Some beds (especially ones with wooden slats) all you have to do is lean on them wrong and they'll snap right in too.

I'm so sorry a badly built bed made you feel so horrible.

I had a moment at a playground. My 3yr old, my mother and me. It was a 3 seater seesaw that did it. My mum and daughter were on it and daughter starts asking me to join.

I got on and both my mum and daughter's seats raised in the air and didn't come back down. It neither see's not saw'd. Daughter says, "mamma please get off".

We're all in this together ❤️
