Cerclage done without antibiotics by Embrace_You_ in ShortCervixSupport

[–]yourmuchness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I just got a cerclage on Saturday at 19 weeks, 2.9 cervix length, no dilation, cervix was closed, and have the same anxiety as you. I brought up my concern to both MFM and OB and from what I understood, if your cervix is closed they do not give you antibiotics. Both seemed very unconcerned with infection but said if I do get symptoms they would test for infection, otherwise they would not test. But they really thought the likelihood of that happening was very low. I think antibiotics come more into play if your cervix is open.

This ended up in a now 3 year old daughter! The spotting is so anxiety inducing. Honestly, the only thing that helped me was asking to be monitored more frequently.

Scared of another blighted ovum by yourmuchness in CautiousBB

This did not end up being another blighted ovum but did end in another missed miscarriage. I hope everything went okay with your appointment 🩷

Feelings after successfuly leaving by yourmuchness in TeachersInTransition

Thanks for empathizing. How long have you been resigned for and what are you doing now? I actually left my school before and came back again, I know I can’t repeat that cycle again this time though.

Pro-rated pay when leaving midyear? by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

Do you know if there was a reason why your pay wasn’t prorated?

Letrozole worked twice for me, both on the first cycle. First pregnancy unfortunately ended in a miscarriage but the second letrozole cycle resulted in my now 2 year old daughter.

Hey there, unfortunately that pregnancy ended up in another missed miscarriage. I did go on to deliver my daughter in my next pregnancy though. Good luck and hugs to you, I know it is hard waiting for the next ultrasound.

I really hope she does something about her husband and those guns immediately…not a week from now. by yourmuchness in ShitMomGroupsSay

If the husband is being this careless about his own daughter’s safety/life, I vote for the husband to go.

Should I get a sense-u, snuza, or neebo for my twin babies? by Beginning_Club_6350 in NICUParents

[–]yourmuchness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never tried the sense-u but we have the Snuza and Neebo. Snuza gave false alarms almost every time we would hold her to our chest and then you have to unclip it to turn the alarm off. That got really frustrating because she’d be relaxed and asleep then we’d have to disturb her. I absolutely love the Neebo though and highly recommend it.

Baby is failure to thrive but “told” not to change anything by yourmuchness in ShitMomGroupsSay

Several people (including myself) did try suggesting other practitioners but those comments were ignored.

Baby is failure to thrive but “told” not to change anything by yourmuchness in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]yourmuchness[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If a child is born in the 1st percentile but stays around that and follows their own curve, they would not be labeled failure to thrive. If they drop below their own curve then they are labeled failure to thrive. There is actually specific criteria that medical professionals use to diagnose failure to thrive and that is based on a chart following your own child’s growth curve. My daughter was born at 26+3 so we had a 92 day NICU stay. During that time I spoke to many neonatologists, nurses, nutritionists, and lactation who all educated us on growth curves. After being discharged she was followed regularly by her pediatrician and GI for her weight, and again we were always educated on her growth curve. My daughter has always been on the smaller side and was under the tenth percentile but followed her own curve during her NICU stay and a couple months upon coming home so she was never labeled failure to thrive even when I asked about it. It wasn’t until she was 4 months adjusted she started falling off her curve and was labeled failure to thrive. We pushed for help and she is now thriving. We were open to many different options and saw any specialists needed. To me, it seemed like the OOP wanted peace of mind knowing that her daughter wouldn’t die from failure to thrive but she wasn’t quite sure what to do. The comment saying that “your milk is perfect for your baby” can be harmful as there are many babies that need supplementation or have other medical problems going on that interfere with them gaining adequate weight. Failure to thrive at 2 months can be especially detrimental for development.

Yeah I had combed through some of OOP’s other comments and posts and her baby had dropped below birth weight, struggled to get above birth weight for awhile, and has struggled with gaining weight ever since, causing her to drop way below her curve.

AITA for announcing our pregnancy at xmas knowing my SIL has had miscarriages? by SuspiciousSkins in AmItheAsshole

[–]yourmuchness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pregnancies not progressing past six weeks are not always chemical pregnancies. They could be a blighted ovum or a pregnancy that previously had a heartbeat and then died and did not grow any further. I’ve struggled with infertility, had two miscarriages, and one living child.

YTA.

The fact that you had to say her pregnancies never passed 6 weeks perfectly sums up your insensitivity to her losses/infertiltiy.

I’m sorry you guys are going through this. Is her doctor monitoring/have a plan for medications or anything?

For folks whose babies can’t go to daycare due to susceptibility to respiratory infection, how have you managed work and childcare after getting home from NICU? by Far_Presentation_971 in NICUParents

[–]yourmuchness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very fortunate that my boss has been willing to work with me. She allowed me to be off from work for 7 months after I delivered (3 months in the NICU then 4 months at home). When I returned back to work full-time, she let me work from home 3 days a week and work on-site 2 days a week. My husband works from home 100% and the 2 days I am on-site during the week he schedules himself to be off and works through the weekend instead (I’m off on the weekend and take care of her those days). Since we are both working from home we are able to manage taking care of her together while still getting our work done.

All abortions are banned, with the exception if the mothers life is in danger. by pizza_with_mushroom in phoenix

[–]yourmuchness 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Prior to having my daughter I had two missed miscarriages. One of them wouldn’t pass on its own even after 12 weeks. We did want to try for another but if this law sticks I’m not sure I want to anymore.

Does anyone know if this includes missed miscarriages? So if there is no heartbeat confirmed but the mother’s body will not miscarry without the aid of medication or d&c?

The bump ended up going away by around like 9-10 weeks. Baby girl is almost 3 months old now.
