My 22mo has rarely ever woken up without tears if I’m not there,whether it’s naps or bedtime she falls apart.She naps by herself and gets a stretch at bedtime and I want to be able to help her understand that she’s safe and doesn’t need to fall apart,she doesn’t even get out of bed she just stays and cries.Is this just a developmental thing That they grow out of or is there something I can do to help her understand that she can call for me without tears?I have a newborn so sometimes when she’s napping Im Not able to just immediately get up and go to her because I’m changing a diaper

I just gave birth 5 days ago and my 22mo developed a cold the day she was born and has since passed it to me and my husband.I was worried about my toddler getting sick because she seems to get sick at least once a month now because she’s around other kids at church but I didn’t know it would be so quick.Im breastfeeding on demand but besides that I don’t know what to do if my newborn gets a cold or what I can even do for myself because I’m breastfeeding

I had an emergency cerclage placed at 23 weeks due to early dilation and a previous history of preterm labor and had it removed at 36 weeks.I just gave birth at 37+4 to a healthy and chunky baby girl!I was shocked that she stayed in an extra week and even though small babies run in the family she was over 7lbs

I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second and getting my circlage removed in two days so I might be giving birth this week.I have had a very painful hemeroid from having to sit so much during this pregnancy (high risk because of incompetent cervix)and have occasiona bouts of constipation rven with sufficient fiber and water intak.What can I do that actually works to get it to go down post partum because I know it will get really inflamed?

I am due in a few weeks and have made the decision to get a bilateral salpingectomy due to being extremely high risk with each pregnancy while also being very fertile and not wanting to chance getting pregnant again at all.Ive looked at all of my options and it is pretty much the most effective way outside of getting a hysterectomy which I will not be getting because I am only 24.Have any of you guys had to get this procedure done?what was your experience afterward?Due to the high risk nature of my pregnancies(cervical insufficiency that has caused me go nearly go into labor earlier and earlier even with a circlage)I will not be using NFP and wont be asking my husband to get a vasectomy because I have mey many people who have had failed vasectomies

when I am 8 weeks post partum I will be getting a bilateral salpingectomy due to being extremely high risk with each pregnancy.I also have an almost 2yo who sleeps with us but has learned to sleep behind me in the middle of the bed.Im nervous about cosleeping with my newborn (due in the next few weeks)after surgery and am curious if anyone else has done the same.I will have a side car crib but our sleep situatuation wont be the most optimal.My husband will take one week off work (he does not get paid leave and will also be taking a week off when baby is born)so I will just have him sleep in the other room with my toddler that week .

My toddler is 22mo,unvaxxed and seems to pick up a cold every other month like clockwork. she is no longer breast-fed as I am pregnant and had to wean at 15mo due to having a high risk pregnancy, she pretty much just eats Whole Foods, lots of time in the sun, and usually gets a bath after spending time with other kids at church. I know that toddlers are going to get sick as they build their immune system but I have just noticed that even when she gets sick often times none of her little friends at church are sick and that is usually the only place that she is around other kids. I am due soon and I will be taking her the nursery for a little while because it will be cold and flu season but besides that I’m not really sure what to do to help because she is currently right now dealing with a cold and has had a runny nose for a week and developed a little bit of a cough. I am using elderberry syrup and I do give her honey with garlic and onion in it along with a saline rinse every day.

I gave birth to my first at 32 weeks and had no signs until I started having clear contractions.I am pregnant with my second and have madw it to 32+5 with a circlage and progesterone.I have an appointment tomorrow for a cervical check but I am just feeling off right now and I can’t put my finger on it.I typically go in if I feel any sort of cramping or just weird things and so far everything has been fine.On Sunday i almost went in because my belly hardened for four hours straight even with drinking water and resting and didn’t soften until I showered for 40 mins and my OB said to come in if that happens again.It hasn’t but all day I have just felt very off and I’m wondering if anyone has had that experience before going into labor.

about a week ago, my husband, my toddler, and I all got food poisoning. it lasted for a day and my toddler literally only went diarrhea. One time that day and was fine for the next like two days. Well she ate a bunch of blueberries after that and had a lot of diarrhea so I cut out the blueberries completely and figured things would get back to normal but after a week in two days of diarrhea, she is still having runny poops. She’s lactose intolerant so she doesn’t consume dairy, has not been eating any food and has pretty much just been on the brat diet for the most part and I’ve noticed it’s still very loose. she has a well child appointment coming up next week so I will bring it up then but she has not acted like she’s in pain, has not had a fever or vomiting, and she’s also not teething.

last week all of us had food poisoning because we ate undercooked kidney beans, I had it the worst. My toddler only had diarrhea one time that day and had solid poops the rest of the day. Well, the next day she ate blueberries and I did not know the blueberries can have a laxative effect and she had diarrhea that entire day and has had soft poops since and still occasionally has diarrhea. She has not had any more blueberries but is still having really soft poops. I’m not really sure what to do to help her stomach get better.

I went into labor with my first at 32 weeks with no diagnosi.I am pregnant with my second and started to have severe funneling at 20 weeks in an emergency cerclage at 23 weeks after dilating 1 cm. I dealt with a lot of cramping over the following weeks and several thinking I was having contractions only for everything to be fine. I am happy to say I have made it past 32 weeks with no complications. Most of my pain is gone outside of normal pelvic pain and now I just deal with Braxton Hicks contractions off and on. I felt like I could breathe just a little bit once I hit 28 weeks and now that I’m 32 it’s just a waiting game and I’m not very concerned about labor because we’re in a much safer spot. I’m very thankful to have made it this far along.

I don’t think this is necessarily crunchy, but I recently made a massive crockpot of chili to store away for a postpartum, and we have also eaten a few bowls. I used dry beans and last night when we were eating some, we noticed some of the beans were kind of undercooked, but I figured that since they cooked for quite a while and we’re soaked would be fine. well, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe diarrhea every 30 minutes along with some vomiting. I am pregnant so I’m having to really stay hydrated and eat bland to reset my stomach but from 3 AM to about 11 PM I was having some severe symptoms with small and after thinking about absolutely everything that it could be, I it was probably the undercooked beans in the chili. I think I’m through the worst of it, but has anyone accidentally given themselves food poisoning from undercooked beans and what are some things I can do to recover my gut because I was going to the bathroom for so long

I am in my early third trimester and I woke up in the middle of the night with explosive watery diarrhea every 15 to 30 minutes and threw up a couple of times. I was able to fall back asleep for a few hours and woke up to the same thing but the problem is I don’t know what I could have eaten that could have exposed me and possibly now my toddler because she is showing signs because we have pretty much just stuck to cooked veggies that were either frozen or canned this whole time and frozen fruit not from Taylor farms.We don’t eat out either.I haven’t had any raw veggies since I heard about the outbreak and stayed away from salads in general

I am almost 32 weeks and woke up in the middle of the night throwing up and having constant watery diarrhea.its every 30 mins to an hour and im trying to stay hydrate.Since i live in an area with a lot of cases ive been not eating any of the risky foods and have just been cooking my veggies this whole time.I don’t eat out and I make all of our food.Has anyone gotten it or even just a normal stomach but while pregnant?

Hi guys!I am 30 weeks pregnant and due to being high risk(I had a cerclage placed at 23 weeks),having a touch first trimester and i will also be getting my tubes removed 8 weeks pp,I know I will be in a rough spot for awhile and won’t be able to work out until I’m probably closer to 4m pp.I plan on getting with a pelvic floor pt to address any issues and I know that it will take a lot of time and effort especially with a toddler and a baby.What are some tips yall have for starting to get back in shape after a rough pregnancy while exclusi breastfeeding?my husband already knows that he will need to take care of the baby and toddler at times when he gets off work so that I can get at least 30 mins in so that’s covered.Im not expecting to “bounce back”necessarily but I just want to get stronger because my body is so weak from not being able to work out this time around

I’m due in less than two months and am looking for a cheap floor bed,our current bed that we got rught before my daughter was born as softened quite a bit and I’m not comfortable sleeping with a newborn on it.I was right about to get an on sale mattress from bed bath and beyond for less than $200 but it was gone by the time I tried to order it so I’m looking at some mattresses on Walmar.com

I am due soon and still cosleeping with my almost 20mo who still absolutely needs one nap and has to be snuggled to sleep no matter how tired she is.What I’m wondering for those of you whos toddlers still nap is how are you getting them to sleep while also taking care of a newborn?My husband will be able to handle bed time but he’s working during nap time.Toddler is the type who will literally have her eyes rolling in her head and still fight sleep unless she’s snuggled

My 20 mo has had long stretches at night in our bed by herself for awhile now,she has always been able to be rocked to sleep(or swung around by my husband lol)or just laid with.Over the past two weeks she has started to want constant contact with my skin to fall asleep to the point that if I’m wearing a shirt that fully covers my upper body she will thrash around and try to pull up my shirt so she can’t touch my stomach are wrap her arms around my neck.I am 30 weeks pregnant so idk if its because she knows and is just seeking closeness but it’s making it hard for me to get up to pee in the middle of the night because I have to pry her little arms off of me,sometimes she just flops over but sometimes she wakes up crying,she doesn’t care with her dad,she’s jusy very clingy again.I know she’s not cold because she usually has warm pajamas on and even sleeps half way under a blanke.Is this normal toddler behavior during pregnancy?

I had to receive a cerclage at 23 weeks and now at 30 weeks my hips and lower back feel terribl.I am allowed to walk thankfully on my walking pad and do some light stretching but I frequently feel like mh lower back is going to seize up while I’m doing stuff around the house or getting out of bed and playing with my 19mo.I was told I could stretch but not what kind of stretches and to just do what feels okay,I just don’t know what can help and I’m worried about throwing my back out.I am thankful that I am not under as many restrictions as many (I’m under full pelvic rest and weight lifting unless it’s my toddler)but I am in a lot of pain from havinf to rest so much and not being able to work out.Is there anything I can do to help the stiffness?

I am 29 weeks and have horrendous heartbur,I have been taking papaya extract for a few weeks now throughout the day and sleep sitting up at night and I am still getting horrible heartburn that keeps me awake because it’s almost making me throw up.Ive tried eating more plain foods,reducing portion,not eating several hours before bed,papaya enzymes please help a girl out because I am going insane and just want to eat a meal🙃
