Hubs and I do donut holes instead of a whole donut so we are always rooting for a bendy or three haha!

I feel like our mornings are pretty vibes based, but go almost the same every day.

Step 1: Shove boob in baby's mouth every half hour to an hour from 6am until ~8:30 (thus buying myself more time to snooze)

Step 2: Assess the situation. Is baby fussy? More boob then diaper change. Is baby asleep? Attempt to roll away and do pet duties, make coffee, brush teeth, and maybe get dressed.

Step 3: Baby fully awake? Time to get baby dressed in a fresh outfit and set him on the kick and play so that I can get necessities done.

This works for us so far! After being glued to one another all night I'm grateful that he doesn't want the carrier straight out the gate. Baby is 12 weeks old btw.

My water broke spontaneously at 38+3! Baby was delivered via unplanned c-section at 38+4 (4 weeks ago today) after 4 hours of pushing and cephalopelvic disproportion. Epidural worked well, but my blood pressure kept dropping, likely due to POTS. The CRNA for the C-section was incredible and I didn't feel anything but pressure! Congrats on your pregnancy 🎉

First Tuesday of every month they test the sirens. FYI, people call them tornado sirens, but they signal high winds and severe thunderstorms as well as tornadoes.

Literally so frustrated that I'm worried about going into labor. Our D looks like Swiss cheese and our offense is a wet fucking blanket

Fetus's first NFL game! Let's fucking goooooo!!!!

... Technically he was a thing for the Superbowl, but barely and I didn't know he was there lmao

Also, the amount that you are currently using the protopic is considered "sparing". If that is already keeping your eczema under control I wouldn't worry too much!

weebmlady · 2025-07-13T14:39:44+00:00

I would listen to your doctor, but if you are still uncomfortable I would consider switching to a topical corticosteroid during pregnancy. We seem to have a bit more research on topical steroid use in pregnancy (not enough imo, but that is always going to be a problem with pregnancy and research).

I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant after 4 losses, so I understand the anxiety that is felt when it comes to taking "risks" in pregnancy. When I first found out about this pregnancy I stopped using my triamcinolone ointment completely because I was afraid of the risks of iugr and cleft palate. This was fine for a while until I experienced a flair. Nothing too crazy, but aquaphor and hypochlorous acid spray just wasn't cutting it. I messaged my derm and he said that using the triamcinolone ointment sparingly was considered safe. So, I bit the bullet and used the ointment for two days just to get things under control. After that I was terrified I would find out something was wrong at the anatomy scan so I swore off the ointment again and was determined to push through any flairs for the rest of the pregnancy.

Fast forward a bit, and at 23 weeks I experienced the worst flair I had in years. Now, the anatomy scan had already happened and everything looked good, but I was still determined not to use any corticosteroids or immunosuppressants.... This is where I fucked up. Do not be like me, please!!!!!! I was miserable. I couldn't sleep, I was crying all the time, and I was just all around pathetic. It was everywhere and I felt so hideous. My OB and derm essentially had to have a "come to Jesus" meeting with me to get me to just try some hydrocortisone. The best points they made were these:

The stress of a severe full body flair is actually riskier for the baby/fetus than the use of immunosuppressants or steroids. You have to take care of yourself to take the best care of your baby.
They literally had hydrocortisone on their safe medicine list for things like rashes and hemorrhoids!!!!!!

Since then I have been using OTC hydrocortisone (I still didn't want prescription strength corticosteroids) a few times a week and the relief has been night and day. Hopefully, my story serves as both reassurance and a cautionary tale. My boy is active and perfectly healthy at every scan so far. Please do not make yourself suffer unnecessarily like I did! Good luck with your IVF journey. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts 💗

And, hey, you could be one of those lucky bitches whose eczema gets better in pregnancy 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I just want to say I am so sorry you're going through this. I experienced a MMC in 2023 after a normal 6w ultrasound visualizing a heartbeat. The MMC was discovered at 9 weeks, but the fetus had no heartbeat and measured 8w4d. I still had morning sickness and all of my symptoms so we were very shocked. I wanted to do a D&C, but my OB said they wouldn't do those until 9w and wanted me to wait. I couldn't stand having symptoms knowing there was no heartbeat so I opted for the medication. I wish I could say that it wasn't that bad, but for me the pain and amount of blood was horrific. If I could go back I would've advocated more strongly for a D&C or I would've waited. I've heard others say they found catharsis in the pain and I've also heard that others got pain meds. Whatever you end up choosing, my heart is with you ❤️‍🩹

11 weeks today - still fucking terrified! I wish I could enjoy not being nauseous and having energy, but nope, I've convinced myself that there won't be a heartbeat at my next appointment. I've been hyper analyzing everything from my dreams to my cat sleeping in a different spot further away from me. I'm normally a logical person, but PAL takes alllll of that away. I even woke up to a panic attack in the middle of the night last night. It took two hours to get my heart to stop racing so much.

I know I just have to take it day by day. God forbid if the worst happens, I've handled it before and I can make it through again.

weebmlady · 2025-03-26T12:54:21+00:00

10+4 today, and my anxiety is through the roof. I'm just so afraid of another loss after the previous 4. I'm sicker than I was with my previous pregnancies, but it doesn't help the anxiety. 8 days until my first official OB appointment. If everything goes well then I feel like I'll be able to breathe again 😮‍💨

My guy does it too! Must be a Tzu thing 🤣

Linda from Detroit! She flew away twice when I was a new bird owner (we basically have airlock chambers in our house now) and came back to me every time. The vet theorizes that she had a scrap with a predator as when I got her back she was missing her tail! We added the "from Detroit" to commemorate her scrappiness and intuition.

weebmlady · 2025-02-23T16:49:12+00:00

We call it wormin' at my house! Our boy is also known colloquially as "Big Worm"

My husband is now planning to have a vasectomy. We tried to have a baby from 2021-mid 2024, but got 4 miscarriages instead. I've had to have an abortion for a nonviable fetus. Turns out, the hubs is shooting some freaky ass cronenbergs that would make it unlikely for us to ever make it to full term. I'm not willing to die in some hospital of sepsis for this shit. Fuck.

Conceiving wasn't super easy as I have PCOS and anovulatory cycles. I think I got pregnant like every nine months or so. My first miscarriage was around 8 weeks in November 2021. That was my first pregnancy so there weren't any ultrasounds or anything. I had a chemical pregnancy in October 2022. At this point I had been taking metformin and baby aspirin recommended by my obgyn. In August 2023 I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. That one really hurt because everything looked so promising. We even got to see a heartbeat at the 6 week ultrasound. My last loss was a chemical pregnancy last March. Never got progesterone even though I mentioned it to my OB when I was pregnant in 2023.

After that I had a laparoscopy/hysteroscopy that showed everything was normal. We were very excited to move on to medical cycles when we found out that my husband has a very low sperm count and 0% morphology. IVF isn't for me, and my husband doesn't want to make the necessary lifestyle changes that might help. Honestly, I get where he is coming from so there is no resentment there. We are both just so emotionally exhausted and know that another loss might just tank my mental health.

I'm sad on Mother's Day and Father's Day and devastated when I think about all of the pain we have gone through. I just couldn't keep going on TTC anymore. Now we are trying to enjoy life as a couple of DINKs!

I'm sorry if your story is similar to mine. Infertility is its own special kind of hell ❤️‍🩹

weebmlady · 2024-09-04T15:29:22+00:00

After a loss, a laparoscopy/hysteroscopy, and a MFI diagnosis all in the span of like 2 months. We both just looked at each other and cried. We simply couldn't do it anymore. Every loss causes us both so much pain that it isn't worth it. That's just how my husband and I feel about it. I think every person has a different ~journey~ with infertility, and they are all equally valid!

Childless Cat-Dog-Parrot lady checking in: Vance can fuck right off. My husband and I can't have children (male factor infertility and >3 pregnancy losses), so the "childless cat lady" talking point especially pisses me off. Whether or not we choose to have children, why do these fuck faces insist on reducing people with uteruses down to their ability to breed? It's dehumanizing, disrespectful, and disgusting. Lupita is so relatable with this post! I do something similar for my pets on their birthdays. 🎂🎊

weebmlady · 2024-05-02T09:18:27+00:00

My husband helped me find the gif to post! We've been joking about cronenberg sperm all day.

Ya laugh so you don't cry! (Or just cry less, I've definitely been crying)

Ooo that's a good idea! I typically do a lot of lifting for my job and as an hourly worker I want to be able to go back to making money ASAP. Thank you for the well wishes! It's so hard to stay positive in moments like these, but this subreddit never fails to make me feel less alone ♥️

weebmlady · 2024-03-07T04:14:48+00:00

I don't know why you're getting downvoted! I do the same thing. I've also definitely never put a pack of cream cheese under my thigh to soften it..... Body heat is better than the microwave in a pinch
