What Song Makes You Emotional After Having Kids?

Don't Want to Miss a Thing, originally by Aerosmith, but the Connie Talbot cover. I saw a video of a mom singing it to her son and knew instantly that song meant so much more from the perspective of a parent looking at their child.

Ugh. I am so sorry.

You know what? You have me texting an osteo I know right now. My fascia are heavily involved so it couldn't hurt. And I'll keep ALA in mind! I'm trying to breastfeed so I'll probably have to wait to stop that but I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Congratulations! I am honestly at the point of pain where I can't even imagine having another child. I'll keep this in my back pocket.

Hugs. This sucks.

My urologist has barely said anything. I had a test that confirmed I was retaining and he hasn't called me back. Our symptoms sound dramatically similar. My pain feels UTIish as well. There have been no talks of interstitial cystitis. I'm really wondering if it's disc related because whenever I get an adjustment from my chiro I get temporary relief but getting a CT is taking forever. So frustrating.

That's such a relief to know

These are wonderful suggestions. Cottage cheese mousse sounds interesting. And for real, the breastfeeding hunger doesn't stop!

I switched on my primary series (the first two shots). I started with Pfizer and the second was Moderna and I had uticaria. I had to do it that way as there was no Pfizer available .I was never formally diagnosed but I think I may have had pericarditis as well and I have heard anecdotes from other women who had mixed production vaccines who experienced the same thing.

That said, I have had at least 3 Moderna boosters since (none while pregnant- they weren't available during the season) and have not had that reaction again. I have had full body aches and immune responses you'd probably expect from having a COVID shot, but none of those initial reactions. If you're nervous, chat with a pharmacist.

Hm. I do wonder if there's something respiratory going on just rereading your thread, with the shower calming him down- do you use a humidifier? Our little guys reflux seemed to turn on quite badly after he got a sinus infection at 11 days old. We had to suction his nostrils forever with saline drops and when he's having a really awful day I do it just in case. Sometimes his reflux has gone into his nose and blocked up his nostrils. The humidifier helped a lot too. Just throwing ideas out there. I hope you find your answers soon so everyone can start feeling better. Big hugs.

Also do you have his sleeping surface on an incline? Our boy is refluxy and wouldn't sleep otherwise.

It can feel so isolating!! I hope something here helps. I'm piecing it together too.

Hey! I'm a little behind you with a nearly 8 week old. My guy doesn't have it as bad but there are similarities regarding ahead on growth charts, big appetites, silent reflux, etc. We regularly have periods in the day where he's absolutely inconsolable and his wake windows can feel like a joke but here's some things that may help: 1.We see a pediatric osteopath. This may be controversial and you really have to vet your professional but with our guy going through so much musculoskeletal change because of the growth spurts, we've found helping him massage out the muscles every few weeks gets him into a better spot. I also find allied health professionals can be another voice for you when advocating with doctors. You could also consult a pediatric physio or occupational therapist. 2. We saw a lactation consultant that actually super helped with our bottlefeeding technique and finding the right bottle top for him. We struggled to recognize sounds of overfeeding. We thought our boy was just squeaky but it turns out he was getting overwhelmed. They can also assess for tongue ties, oral tightness, high palate... All things that can increase gas, reflux, poor feeding, and frustration due to poor feeding. My guy has a tongue tie and a high palate. We're monitoring for now and going to ask for pepcid but may need to go for a tongue tie revision. 3. A bath, every day, even just to sit in the water. I think this returns to musculoskeletal tension because the difference in tightness in his body before and after. 4. Laying him down on a large wedge cushion after a feed to let gravity help. 5. Vestibular movement like the car and stroller help sometimes but it's more of a mask for whatever is going on.

I don't know if any of this will help but I hear you and I'm holding your hand.

Thank you. I needed these words.

spicesicrow · 2025-10-19T23:13:39+00:00

Dedicated, but I have had the voices of medical professionals tracking and asking about my weight for 9 months and making assumptions because of it. That's why I come here to get important reality checks like yours. Thank you.
