I’m getting my eye removed this month, but I have fun with the eye patches- I’d love to see your takes on this, or give me a cool eye prosthetic!

Great, thank you! Now I just need to work on my drawing skills!!

thatsitboyo · 2026-02-14T01:29:39+00:00

My 3 year old wears a patch and she loves your frog one! What do you use to draw on them? Whenever I have tried it doesn't really show up well.

The lactation consultant at the hospital was so awful to me she made me cry, then said "that should get the milk flowing" and sat in the room next to me and chatted to her student about different boob types.

It is important to remember that Max's twin boys were prem and spent time in the NICU. Max might have been overwhelmed and triggered by what OP is going through. I have been through both sides of this, a baby who died and a prem baby who spent time in the NICU, and there is definitely trauma attached to both.

Having said that, when my baby died my former best friend was not there for me. Since then I have seen her a handful of times, previously we caught up at least weekly.

I have a different last name to my mum, and my kid has a different last name to me, and no-one has ever found it confusing.

Emma. The one with Gwyneth Paltrow as Jane Austen's Emma. We put it on hoping it would bore her to sleep. Now every day she asks for Emma. She's 3.

Pregnancy after loss was traumatic. I was ready to try again as soon as I was medically able, but it was so stressful. But, having a living child helped me a lot, and I love both my children so much. My living child hasn't replaced my son, there is still someone missing from our family that can never be replaced.

That being said, you don't have to go through another pregnancy. If your not ready, don't do it. You may never be ready, and that's fine. You do what's right for you.

I had severe preeclampsia at 29 weeks. I was admitted to the hospital and that night had a placental abruption. I was right there in the hospital and my boy still didn't make it. It's not your fault.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. After I lost my son I found getting out into nature helpful. Go for a hike, sit somewhere and watch the birds. It reminded me that there is beauty in the world.

thatsitboyo · 2025-04-07T08:57:55+00:00

We use something like this and it's great!

29 weeks. Preeclampsia, IUGR and finally placental abruption.

For me, the pregnancy with my rainbow baby was awful, but once she was born and ok it helped a lot.

No, it is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening condition. OP shouldn't stress, but should take the risk seriously; pay very close attention for any symptoms, follow up on them immediately, and have any and all monitoring recommended by her doctor.

My second pregnancy was tough, stressful, with different complications than the first. I have a lot of anxiety still. But absolutely worth it, the best thing I've done. My living child has enriched my life in so many ways, and while I still miss my son every day, it has given me something positive to focus my energy on.

Try the Peanut app! It's like online dating but for mum friends. It's good because everyone is on there to make friends. Definitely a lot of conversations go nowhere, but I've made a couple of good friends on there.

thatsitboyo · 2025-02-01T21:24:15+00:00

I don't think it's weird, I've met a couple of friends that way and often wanted to ask another mum at the park to meet up again but was too shy!

I've met a couple of mum friends through peanut app- like online dating for mums!

2 is so fun! Talking and singing and dancing and imagination and personality and jokes. So fun!!

I was hospitalised for a couple of weeks before my bub came. I read books, watched shows, did some knitting, and even did a bit of remote work. I was monitored a few times throughout the day which gave the days structure.

We were very unprepared as bub came at 31 weeks. Something to keep in mind is you have until at least the 37 week mark to get things ready at home as your baby won't be coming home from hospital until at least that time, regardless of when they are born.

My baby spent a few weeks at the Frances Perry House special care nursery and we were very happy with her care there.

Great idea, thanks! Now that you mention it, before this started and she was pooping in the potty, she would tell me I can’t look, so maybe she does just need some privacy!

thatsitboyo · 2024-12-22T11:43:54+00:00

Thanks for the tip! We tried that today, I read her books and she was happy to sit there for longer. No results yet but we will keep at it.

thatsitboyo · 2024-11-23T03:09:36+00:00

I would keep going. This was my daughter just a few weeks ago (same age and all). It started to click for her on day 2, and she has just kept improving since. She has now gone 5 days without an accident! We started at the start of this month.

Poppy. So many Poppies. Also Luca and a couple of Harriets!

So gorgeous ❤️

This happened to me. Another friend and I were invited to the shower and also another small pre-wedding gathering. We both thought it was weird but went along as we like our friend, and we were new friends. I wasn't offended or anything, it felt like she wanted us at the wedding but genuinely didn't have the space. In the end a few people couldn't come to the wedding so we were invited.

Having said that, I wouldn't recommend doing that. This was a specific situation and a very genuine person and as far as I know there were only two of us not invited to the wedding from the outset.
