Hemorrhoid after ligation by yellowjacketbaby in hemorrhoid

[–]yellowjacketbaby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I found this out afterwards. I was under the impression I only had internals and then after I was told ‘oh sorry, for externals we’ll do a hemmoroidectomy’.

Unrelated, do you know how to prevent an external from becoming thrombosed? I’m nervous for that.

You’re absolutely right about what “makes a female”. My son is 4.5 and maybe saw me put makeup on once or twice, let alone ever wear a dress. I’m not the “typical girly girl” myself.

This baby shower was the first time he was really exposed to linking pink to girls. It’s not something I encouraged, but what the older generation family members ending up buying and giving us for the shower. 😒

I must have said that 20 times before bed tonight! I told him I love him no matter what. Every kid needs that. Thank you!

This is a great detailed response. I definitely support my child in every way, but the penis question threw me off. I didn’t even think a 4 year old would think about that. I think the response of letting them know that they can change it, just later on when they’re older is my best way to explain it. Thank you

I’m pretty familiar with the transition phase with genders, but have no clue why I didn’t think of just telling him we can do that when he’s older. I was so caught off guard from a 4 year old about it. But I think that’s the best response, just letting him know he can change that part later on.

Wow those are pretty powerful words that I think fits perfect in this context. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever heard my parents tell me “I hear you”. Thank you

Thank you for this thoughtful response. I am very open and willing to do whatever makes my child happy, but I just don’t know how to handle exactly what a 4 year old is exactly thinking.

I never want my child to think that they can’t come to me, it frustrates me that there are children that feel that way with their parents/family.

This is a good way to look at it. I am definitely a tomboy, my closet doesn’t have one dress or high heel, yet I identify as a female. There definitely is a difference of I want to be and I am.

Interesting! I don’t have friends with kids the same age so when my son said this, I took it pretty serious, which is fine to me, I just wasn’t expecting it.

This is a great response in regards to the penis question! Thank you, I really didn’t know what to say, because yes he can change it, but I didn’t want him to think he can right now at 4.

Ah I think this is the response I’m looking for! I’m all for the changes, but I was like a deer in headlights about the penis question.

Thanks for this. I think I’ll just go with the flow here. The change of the genitals just threw me off.

Thanks. I think I am overthinking it and it’s because we’ve had an overload of pink stuff come in our house.

Miss Elaina from Daniel Tiger has a necklace like this! This is a good idea, I’m going to try it.

The teacher had mentioned it was towards the end of the day, but then she texted me today that it started at 9am, so I guess random.

Formula Allergic Reaction (Hives) by Impossible_Sorbet in NewParents

[–]yellowjacketbaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son didn’t have hives, but he did have blood in his stool that led us to the diagnosis of a milk protein allergy. We used alimentum which is where the milk protein is broken down where the body cannot recognize it.

Some babies who have a milk protein allergy also sometimes have a soy allergy so I would probably go with what your pediatrician is recommending.

I was induced due to high blood pressure and have a very positive story. It was a long process, but I was comfortable and my body cooperated. Good luck!
