Trying to find Hungarian baby/children’s books! 📚

It’s harder to track down than I anticipated!

Are there versions of classic USA books (goodnight moon, the very hungry caterpillar, the rainbow fish, goodnight gorilla, etc.) with Hungarian translations?

I’ve found a few classic original Hungarian tales & will be getting those as well, but I was hoping it would be easy to order books in Hungarian!

Anyone find a good site/have a good resource? (amazon was super lacking!)

Köszönöm!

I’m 36 - first baby - very happy. 15 weeks 🥳

But in the past year (the first year I’ve been off birth control since age 15 lol) I had 3 other pregnancies that didn’t work out.

My practice has 5 doctors you rotate appointments through randomly - because all 5 alternate to be “on call” for births - so that way you’ve met them all before one of them (random scheduling fate) delivers your baby!

New doctor walks in - first thing he says: I’ve read your file - have any of the other doctors talked to you about the previous losses & why they may have occurred?

Me: no… I mean, from my own “googling” I figured it was chromosomal issues or not a viable embryo or I’m just… “old!” Haha?

He then explains:

- there is an autoimmune disease that can cause losses
- there is a simple blood test that can tell you if you have it
- all you have to do is take a blood thinner/anticoagulant preemptively to getting pregnant & it pretty much fixes the problem
- you wouldn’t necessarily know you have it - except for multiple losses in a row

My jaw was on the floor - we did the test.

This is so helpful if we want a second child AND helpful for this pregnancy.

The other doctors barely blinked when I made “jokes” that my husband looked at me this past year and I got pregnant - but then couldn’t stay*~~ ~~*pregnant.

One of them said: wow 4! that’s rough in one year!

But I don’t want sympathy!!! I want medical expertise!!!

I just wanted to share because I see so many posts here about loss and I’ve yet to come across this information. I know it might not apply to everyone - but please ask your doctor about this!!! I saw 3 other doctors - this was the first time anyone mentioned this.

Big hugs everyone! Advocate and ask questions and get tests!!!!! 💕💕💕

**update because I wrote this post total stream of consciousness and didn’t take the time to spell it out & received a few questions! Antiphospholipid syndrome 👍 hugs to everyone 💕
