I’m on my second pregnancy and had to start Zofran almost as soon as I found out at 6 weeks. I was the same with my first and was hoping the second would be better. The Zofran stops me from vomiting every half hour but doesn’t take away all the nausea. It’s so much harder this time trying to take care of a 19 month old. I cry every single day. I’ve lost like 15lbs and I’m only at week 10 😭 did anyone’s second pregnancy get easier quicker? I was horribly sick until 7 months with my first and I cry just thinking about that. Oh and let’s not forget the stomach aches from constipation from the Zofran 🥲

We are currently transitioning my 18 almost 19 month old to his own bed. It was the third night last night and he’s not crying a lot now but he sits up and won’t lay down. He sat up and fell asleep sitting up for like 3.5 hours before I went and lay him down. I don’t know what to do. The whole point of him being in his own room is so I can sleep through the night because I’m pregnant with our second. Do I let him figure it out or do I keep laying him down? Every time I go in I have to stay for like 30-45 minutes for him to fall asleep enough for me to sneak out. He’s exhausted in the mornings because when he falls asleep sitting up he’ll jerk himself back awake. Has anyone else experienced this??

I’m so stressed out. We live in a really old Victorian (1890) and who the fuck knows what’s got lead in it. We thought we painted over the potential lead paint but it could also be the pipes. His levels came back at an 8 and they are supposed to be under 3. He doesn’t drink tap water, except bath water which we obviously try to get him not to do because it’s gross regardless, and we’ve checked the obvious places for lead paint but the house is a fixer upper so maybe there’s lead dust that he’s getting on his hands? He chews on everything and puts everything in his mouth. I feel like an awful parent right now. It isn’t helping that people are being judgey and acting like I handed him a bowl of lead paint chips and said “here. Have a snack”
