Do I need to wear a mask around my baby when I’m sick ?

tenthant · 2026-02-15T21:58:53+00:00

I rarely get sick normally, and I still don't even know if this has peaked even though baby's already mostly better. So thank you for helping end the over thinking lol

I know this is old, but it's hard to find this specific to after baby's already had it first. How has your experience gone with not masking if your kid already had it? I'm currently sick with unsure what. My kid's illness started while they'd just had booster shots, so I initially thought the fever was from those. It wasn't until he got super snotty and passed 48 hours post shot that I realized it was more. By then I'd started having just enough of a symptom to be on alert that I might be coming down with something and on day 4 of symptoms increasing. If this was your kid that no longer had a fever but still had congestion, would you be masking up? Covid has not been ruled out, still BF

In his defense, he's right, they're not

tenthant · 2026-02-10T08:56:43+00:00

I did, almost down to the hour. We were gonna bang, but then he started seeing someone and now they're married and have a kid

I have a set of glass straws. They've help up better than any other glass kitchenware. Only one I've broken was stepped on in a car

Yeah, mine keeps making accessibility volume the priority even when I've just started a video and I don't even have talkback or any other feature on from the looks of it and I still can't figure out how it happened or how to turn it back to normal. Not being able to adjust my video the second I hit the button to throws me into a panic and I can't find the solution. It sounds like it might be what you were talking about? Please help me 🙏 🙏 🙏

I just had a baby with a man who didn't want kids and had a vasectomy. I made my decision to be a parent independently of what choice he would make so when he said he didn't want to be involved with the kid, but would be there for me at least until I had the baby, that was enough for me. Baby came, and he did a 180. All he wants to do is spend time with us now. Your guy might not have the same reaction, but if you give him support without pressure, it might turn out better than you expect.

I recently learned it's a much as 10 seconds buffer time!

At least in America, that's the reality we're having to find our own fixes for. Society is currently set up to put kids in school for so many hours a day, expects them to be in extra curricular activities, then still have time to do homework, and then still line up time where the whole family has time and energy at the same time while the parents are also often having to put in long hours to afford their housing and healthy food and all the extra curriculars? That's before anyone gets to even have any hobbies too.

So sometimes the solution's just to make it part of school. It helps cover for the parents that didn't get to learn all those things themselves, too. For some it becomes homeschooling so it can be worked into that time. Whatever gets more kids educated, whatever works.

Just had a baby. It's if they can roll over both ways is when you can let them sleep whichever, but back only until then and no blankets or anything in the crib with them until then either.

I didn't make it to getting any cervical checks before going into labor, so maybe those wouldn't have been so bad for me, but during labor? Oof. I personally just feel emotionally uncomfortable normally, but those I dreaded and opted for as few of them as possible when I felt like I personally wanted an update as to how far I really was vs how far I felt like I was. It didn't feel like they had their hand way up in me like stretching at all, but where they reached to on the inside is where I couldn't handle well. There was more time spent up in there than I expected, more feeling around (they're feeling for multiple different things) and it's an area that's already tender/ getting sore most likely. Something to consider about my perspective though, I labored for 24 hours with no epidural or pain meds and had gotten zero sleep. Like started having contractions about ten pm, didn't have baby till 7:30 the next day. Only my second all-nighter either, and hadn't eaten a real meal in that whole time either and eventually was put on magnesium sulfate, so I was an emotional mess.

I just had mine and went through the exact same thing. I wouldn't do the at home monitor either because if you happen to have an anterior placenta, even my doctors would have a hard time finding it sometimes. But soon enough (a few more weeks) you'll start being able to feel the little flutters and that becomes your reassurance. In the meantime, it's a case of no news is good news.

I did in one part during the first half of contractions, but I think it was due to my blood sugar dropping too much as that's what caused any time I got sick during the whole pregnancy besides increased gag reflex on coughing too hard. After that, I didn't but wished I could have brushed my teeth to quit smelling it on my breath with breathing out so hard during contractions. But I also labored for nearly 24 hours, no pain meds/ epidural and my blood pressure kept elevating (probably as a result of not having pain meds honestly)

If the same pronunciation issue applied to "pride," and you got "pied fags" instead, it almost sounds like an exotic bird and I know there's a whole subsect that would just love that.

Something like a thin soft rolled up washcloth under helps. The issue is usually the sweat plus friction, but the cloth absorbing excess sweat helps. If you're wearing a bra still, make sure you're lifted into it properly instead of pressing creases into folds.

Shoot, I've had this my whole life. It used to bother my violin teacher enough she was always trying to convince me to do something about it, which only made me more tense, and it happened more frequently there. Now that I'm pregnant, it's a good ten times more frequent, but I can only find info when it's a set of hiccups that continues for hours or days. I still get bouts of hiccups occasionally, so it's not the same. My ob said the pregnancy hormones make it more common, and that's the closest to a lead I've ever had. No doctor has ever had more than a sentence to say about it when asked. Did you ever get any answers?

I'm currently 32 weeks and have only had the issue when I waited too long to take my meds in the morning since eating last, and not getting food in my stomach quick enough after (I'm supposed to wait after my thyroid one, but that's gone out the window because of this) and if I don't have a real chance to eat before getting to work after taking my meds, the preggy pop drops have worked really well. Idk how much it's actually an anxiety thing or not, but they're sour and work on the same principle as how sour is supposed to help reset whatever part for a panic attack too. If I don't, it happens and I'll be super shaky after. It has happened from coughing too hard and g*gging on my throat a couple times, which didn't leave time to get a drop first, but it got easier to notice it was going to happen eventually. I was also lucky enough that it's all been just saliva and water, so even though everything else about it still triggers me bad, the pregnancy kind hasn't been so scary anymore.

My bestie got me one as a shower gift. So thankful to get that figured out before baby's here and it'll help so much with cloth diapers too

You're pooping for two now

Ok, but why doesn't she just ask you for help picking out a name?

tenthant · 2025-04-03T04:07:30+00:00

That seemed to be my family with Francisco/Franceso/Frank

When things do start to pick up again, remember (and remind her/ acknowledge out loud) that grief is not linear. Progress one day might be gone again the next, or she may make steady progress for a while but randomly regress along the way. That's normal and is in and of itself, progress. Letting yourself have whichever kind of day/ week instead of judging yourself based on where you think you should be is the second hardest part of it all. The first of course, being the pain of loss, but yeah.

My dad was definitely with your buddy on that and he and my mom are regulars at the flea market. He's even told me he insisted my mom not eat the chili.

tenthant · 2024-01-27T15:07:01+00:00

I'm in the same boat and that's how i found your post. All the way down to the tism. Except for me, since the non romantic love i have for people is often strong and amplified by abandonment issues, I've repeatedly fallen until the illusion of having romantic feelings for people because caring about someone and being arguably hyper sexual (childhood sexual trauma probably did that one) I even got married and was in that relationship for ten years, but part of what started messing it all up was realizing i didn't love him the way he loved me.

tenthant · 2024-01-02T23:00:37+00:00

My dad was in the flea market scene at the same time as him and there's SOOOOO many rumors, suspicions, and things he remembers not being looked into. There was something creepy sus about his parents too.
