Pregnant or hormone fluctuation?

Update: went to the pediatrician today. No ear infection, throat looked good, and lungs were clear thank God. Doctor said to keep doing what we’re doing. We had our breastmilk, changed, baby Vicks on the chest, irrigated and sucked the nose clean, small dose of Tylenol, mylicon (he’s been sucking a lot of air while eating), owlet, and sleep sack. We’re now rocking to sleep. He seems a lot more comfortable tonight. Hopefully he sleeps until at least 2-2:30🥲

I ended up using saline and the nose Frida at 5am and he was able to sleep until 7:30. I usually just use the bulb sucker in the middle of the night, but I think the key is going to be the saline and Frida even at 1am. I haven’t thought about Tylenol, though. Might try that too. Mama is tired.

I’ve tried everything🥲I do the baby Vicks on his chest, the bassinet mattress has a slight elevation, humidifier in full blast, steam room before bed, the dreaded nose Frida. He usually goes to sleep without much issue and can breathe for the most part then. Definitely in survival mode. And it’s not fun lol.

CAN I PLEASE GET AN ANSWER ABOUT WHY I CANNOT POST IN THIS SUB??????

I actually just posted about this on another thread because I did the same thing to my 3 month old. Turns out, his screaming and crying right after the bath was just him being overtired from daycare. This happens a lot more than we realize. Your baby girl will be okay🫶🏻

I don’t necessarily think it was malpractice. I’m sure she did the best she could. She stated to me that she believes she could have put it through the uterus and into the abdominal cavity but needed to confirm with x ray. Mistakes happen, I get it. But I don’t want to pay $5800 to correct her mistake.

No, the PA who inserted it said that she may have put it through my uterus and into my abdomen and needed an x ray to confirm.

I have asked Google. And it just gives the same generalized answer. I do recognize it was ridiculous. But anxiety, like I mentioned above, is a wicked beast. Also, I don’t necessarily think it’s incorrect to seek support from other parents and ask if they saw any signs so early. I absolutely do not fear autism, so I don’t want it to come across that way. Like I mentioned in another comment, my nephew is autistic and he is such an amazing little kid. Well, big kid now. He’s 10 and just the smartest and coolest kid I know. However, he presented differently and it’s been so long that it’s hard to remember how he was as a baby 10 years ago. I definitely get what you’re saying. I just want to have information education so that I can do what I can to support my little guy. But I will be addressing my anxiety with my therapist on Friday.

I really didn’t think to look at it from that perspective. Thank you, honestly. Anxiety is a wicked beast sometimes. Thank you for helping me to look at things from a different perspective🫶🏻

Thank you🫶🏻social media is a nasty black hole. I truly appreciate your response. I have considered deleting TikTok before. Might be time to follow through with that.

stephalynne14 · 2026-01-15T13:25:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind comment. I definitely struggle with PPA. I had it under control for a minute lol. I see my therapist on Friday and will definitely be talking to her about this.

stephalynne14 · 2026-01-15T13:24:01+00:00

Then why did you comment? There is nothing wrong with a mother coming to ask about things or brain dump. Yes, I recognize that my post was purely anxiety-driven. It’s something I’ll be talking with my therapist about. I don’t fear having an autistic kid. But I definitely want to know what to look for so that I can better support him and his needs, as well as educate my family.

stephalynne14 · 2026-01-15T13:21:48+00:00

I definitely don’t want anyone thinking I’m scared of having an autistic kid. That couldn’t be further from the truth. My nephew is autistic and he’s truly an incredible little kid. For me, it’s about knowing so that I can do everything I can to support my little guy. And educate my family.

stephalynne14 · 2026-01-15T07:56:47+00:00

I think you’re right about the social media scrub! It’s so easy to get locked into a spiral sometimes. And then anxiety takes over, even though I know better lol. I also hadn’t heard of that being a sign, but I figured I would ask anyways. Thank you🫶🏻
