TGIF. I’m so glad it’s the weekend and we have a fun one planned. Tomorrow morning is my son’s first “learn to ice skate” class. Then he has a play date with some of his friends from preschool in the afternoon. Sunday I am hoping we can go see the new Tom and Jerry 💕

And then the weekend is over and I have my next ultrasound to look forward to. Praying and praying that I see growth and everything looks okay. I know this is all I have been posting about lol but it’s all I can think about lately…

Well! Despite the ultrasound tech saying everything looked fine and i could plan on induction on the 4th, my high risk OB called me at 8pm last and told me he wants me in for monitoring and to start induction today! We leave in 30 mins to get there, little man will be here soon! I had calcification on my placenta signalling that its getting mature faster than expected so theyve deemed it safer to deliver since hes IUGR and borderline low fluid levels with the placenta issues too. Hoping everythi…

Oliver Jack, born at 38wks, 8lbs12oz 20.3" by csection. He's in NICU because of me having to be put completely under, he's off oxygen now but they're still monitoring due to the circumstances.
I was in a high speed car accident, a dickbag decided not to yeild while crossing the highway where I was going 70mph. I'm doing really good, fractured my right fibula and several spots in my pelvis, and a blood clot was forming in my abdomen, which is why we choose a preventative csection. I was contrac…

Is any good at reading reports? I’m getting a new GASTRO dr! He’s no help. This was couple months old, he said it’s just air bubbles in my colon. He said we can do a colonoscopy if you want. I said yes however I got covid. It’s been a week since having pain in my left side rib area, near my belly bottom and also upper right side. Today I went thinking he’s going to send me for a sonogram or get some type of help but he just said a colonoscopy but guess what the only thing available is all the w…

So I just got the results of my 1st ultrasound posted to my patient portal. They signify a “normal” result with a live fetus estimated age 6w 1d with a hr of 102bpm (according to my lmp and even when I had sex I’d be more like 8w)

But being in the ultrasound room there was a lot of “I don’t knows”...... like she THOUGHT she saw a heart beat, things didn’t measure up to where I should be, dr will want to see you back in 2 weeks...... blah blah blah

Now I get a normal ultrasound result on my pat…

But for the pass 2 weeks been pushing myself to stay busy an started to workout cuz i have gain some weight from all this. Feeling a lot better.

TW: how am I supposed to get through this? Went thru an ultrasound a couple days ago and everything measured 2 weeks behind with no detectable heartbeat. She “thought” she saw a flicker but it wasn’t measurable on the ultrasound. I have to go back for a follow up and I don’t wanna lose all hope but I know exactly when we had sex and exactly when I had the positive pregnancy test (which according to dating scan is before I would’ve even gotten pregnant) and if we’re being realistic I’m probably g…

Hello ladies I am new to this app. I just wanted to ask opinions and advice really with regards to my situation .

So on Tuesday of this week I went for an early scan for reassurance . I thought I was 5 weeks and 5 days . The nurse and sonographer were present and both looked concerned as she did the internal scan . I’m not kidding ladies you could barely see anything and she said ‘ are you sure you have your dates right ..’ and that I was measuring at just 4 weeks from her calculation . Could …

I need help 😩 tommy has been naughtier than ever since weve moved. We used to live in a flat and now because we live in a house he will not stay upstairs on his own. When i put him down for bed he gets up within an hour and is crying at the stairs as hes scared to be up there without us.
Ive also found that since starting nursery hes been going to bed at 7pm but he will not stay asleep all night he gets up at 3am and will be waking us up for the next 2 hours.
Can anyone offer any advice? Its c…

My poor girl got scratched by our “neighborhood cat” today. She’s usually the calmest and best cat I’ve ever been around but we think she’s pregnant and my daughter went to pick her up today and without warning she just clawed her. She got her chest too but not near as bad. Poor girl screams and begs me not to clean it or put medicine on it because she’s afraid it’s going to hurt. Any ideas to help calm her down and help keep it from getting infected? I used dial antibacterial soap to wash her t…

Read this on Facebook and definitely thought some other mums need to read this!

"You're so lucky that your partner helps you!"

This is probably my least favourite thing to hear, and it's because for someone to say it, means they aren't getting the help they should be.

All too often, I have friends, aquantances and even strangers tell me how "lucky" I am that Liam is so hands on. But am I really lucky? No, I'm not. I'm grateful, absolutely! Every day I'm reminded of how blessed I am that Li…

I woke up early because i googled the housing voucher i currently own and all the landlords that have that voucher tenant complain that the rent is never paid by that conpany on time or not even paid at times. I am about to move to an apartment that is bigger then I wanted because the standerds with 2 kids is 2 bedrooms so its low income but its probably expensive and most likely i would have to come up with the rent. What do you moms think i should do ? Stay in the shelter longer and find a che…

Weight gain/loss questions!

So I had my baby last Monday...When he was born he weighed 6 pounds 10.6 ounces. When we left the hospital he weighed 6 pounds 8.4 ounces. The next day at his check up he weighed, 6 pounds 11.2 ounces. Yesterday at his weight check he weighed in at 6 pounds 11.7 ounces. This is all in a span of a week! We have another weight check in on Thursday and to see the doctor but they seem concerned and it has me freaked out. They told me to try feeding him 4 ounces but that…

@heatherlou88 Your name change drives me crazy, but I'm glad to have you on here. Our chats are always appreciated! Thank you for reaching out to me!!!

@albertrettazariah1386 Though I don't share much on here you always seem to know when I need someone to check in on me. Thank you for caring enough to ask about my family periodically.

To everyone:

Each of you though I am unable to name you each individually at this time add to my day either by way of a blessing in that I appreciate and enjoy…

I have given birth to 3 kids without an epidural, my most recent was 16 months ago where i was induced for the first time and those pitocin contractions were HORRIBLE but i powered through. Im being induced again tomorrow night and i have been having an anxiety attack all day about it. Part of me is debating an epidural but the thought of the needle scares me. Idk im just feeling so many emotions. Those of you who got the epidural is it worth it or is it better without? I also am scared of havin…

My son since little is very sensitive he doesnt like change and transitions. We just a 10 minute and 5 minute warning system before we do anything and he sets it. He struggles each season with clothes so example when cold weather starts it takes over a month to get him in pants he wont do it and same with summer with shorts. He hates socks and underwear we have tried every kind out there and he hates shoes or anything on his feet. The past few months he now will only wear pjs he will put clothe…

I understand that the restrictions for the COVID are necessary and for everyone’s safety and such but man they can make things difficult sometimes. I have my glucose test in March and I have absolutely no sitter. My daughter isn’t allowed inside. My test starts at 8am is supposed to be 3 hours and then I have an hour of free time before I have to go see my OB for results and such. There’s no way she can hangout in the car with my mom for that long. I would leave her at my moms but I can’t drive …

Hi Mommas;

I see many post of you ladies becoming a hoMe owner!!!!

For those of you who don’t mind sharing how much did you spend with lawyers, paper work, down payment? I just want to have a estimate .

My husband & I started to have conversation to find a home. At the moment we live in a small apartment in NY. My girls need more room & freedom. I’m feeling overwhelmed: scared just thinking of the financial responsibility & thinking what if something happens to one of us how are we going t…

Is there a time where you have to worry about pressure in your pelvis? It feels like im having the same pressure i get on my cervix from braxton hicks except that for the past nearly two hours the pressure has been constant and gets more intense when he moves. I cant even tell if im having braxton hicks because the pressure doesnt let up any. Im hoping its just his position, i set my induction date up after my appointment on Tuesday so he will be here soon regardless but i havent had pressure li…

Look like hubby and I going to have to apply for adoption loan. At least only option we can get for a newborn baby. I dont trust people without a contract or can I. I struggled to get pregnant just to miscarriage. I understand someone is pregnant and having mix feelings. But don't play with my emotions too. Either way its heart breaking. They are bringing a new life in the world and i would like to be able too. If it doesn't happen. Its going to take us up to 2 years on a waiting list for a newb…
