3 month old bleeding monthly
So I have no clue if this is normal or if I should be worried. Of course I am a little worried anyways but my 3 month old baby girl has had pink blood in her diaper atleast one day each month. It's like a little pink streak. I know her bleeding that first month is normal but every month? It's like she has a mini period/spotting. I would call her doctor but the only working phone we own is my husbands and he's at work. This is the 3rd month it's happened and I'm a little worried. Any advice or information would be appreciated. She doesn't seem fussy or like she's hurting. Her little breasts have are swollen again too (they feel like a little hard lump)
I called and her doctor said it's normal and I should worry if it's alike a normal period or bright red.
So I found out it was the power companies mistake and not my husbands. We checked the bill and it isn't due until the 22nd.. So they made a mistake. Our power is back on.
Tell the power company you have a small child. They should turn it back on for you with a promise to pay.
But I've heard it's normal because of the hormones in baby's body is trying to adjust. I would check with your doctor to be sure though. Good luck
Edit: my mother said this happened with my sisters.
Idk if I'll be able to update for a few days because my power just got shut off and they close before my husband gets off of work tomorrow so we may have to wait until Monday. He forgot to call the power company and tell them we'd be a few days late. Which is irritating but I can't give him too much crap as my memory is horrible. Plus me getting mad isn't going to change the situation or make it any better so I'm choosing to be calm about it. Although it sucks. I'm gonna be bored while my husband is at work.
You can buy a prepaid phone that only has x amount of minutes. Those should be a one time fee and shouldn't require you to pay monthly.
I know it's normal for little girls to bleed when they're first born because of extra hormones from the mother. But I never heard of it at 3 months. You definitely need to call your Dr.
I'm not too worried about getting a government phone because my husband gets his first paycheck tomorrow. After tomorrow we won't have so many issues. It was just rough to for the past month.
My daughter has Medicaid and I get a paper each month saying that if I need a phone they will send one and it can call/ text for dr appointments and such. I would look into that!
Also you can use the "text free" app and it has calling on it of you have wifi.
I hope your Dd is okay! That would scare me, although since it's a "regular" thing it may just be the hormones. Update us when you can!
If it were my daughter i'd be walking to a payphone or borrowing a phone. I hope everything is okay with baby. Also, there is a website called Qlink wireless, you may qualify for a government phone which gives you 500 free minutes each month. I see the commercial on t.v. 24/7. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it ! I hope things look up for your family soon ?
The first month I knew it was normal. The second month I thought maybe she just hadn't gotten all of my hormones out of her body yet. But now that it's been 3 months and I've started to get concerned. I only seen it one day a month and it's only in one or two diapers. I've only had a boy so I didn't know what was normal for a girl. I'm going to see about having my husband leave his phone tomorrow.
Please don't get a phone right now if either one of you don't have an income. Adding another bill isn't going to help anything and like @pp said, if there is an emergency there are apps you can download and use or run to a neighbor and call 911. Look into foodstamps, WIC and whatever else for the time being to help you get on your feet, you need to eat, mama. ❤ Regarding your post, it's probably just from your hormones, but definitely call her pedi to be sure. Keep us updated.
? I find everyone's need to prioritize OP's finances for her completely annoying. A phone is absolutely an extra when you have to cut things from your budget. If she has an emergency she will call on neighbors for help. It's called living within one's means. That's what grown ups who have to work for everything they have do. @OP you do not have to justify where your money is going. And while your original concern may merit a call to the doctor, since it has waited 3 months without incident, it can likely wait a few more hours. I do hope it is no big deal. I too did not know infants sometimes bleed.
Does it work with WiFi? I don't have a phone plan or access to minutes so thats the only way I could use it.
I'm on my phone. I have a texting app but the calling doesn't work. The texting is good but I haven't been able to call with them because they have a lot of problems. I'm using my dad's xfinity Hotspot to use my phone.
And actually I am on birth control. But it's the mini pill so its the progesterone only pill. I'm taking that one because I'm breastfeeding and it's safer for babies.
I can't afford to pay for my phone atm. My husband had a job but lost it. He has another one now but he still hasn't received a paycheck so we can't afford even food atm. Although I've managed to make it stretch enough that my son eats. I'd never let him go hungry.
My daughter had that happen at birth and it was normal then because of the hormone change (or something like that).
I would think happening every month is something to check with a doctor.
And like PP you really need a phone. If something happened and you couldn't call for help it would be really awful. Just get something prepaid or anything for emergencies.
Definitely something to call the doctor about when you get the chance. My guess is it's hormones that are passing on to baby. I know you said you might possibly be pregnant, but are you using any birth control that could be shifting your own hormones? Maybe it's something in your diet? My guess is YOUR hormones aren't regulating yet and maybe the doctor can give you some advice on how to handle that.
Also! My doula informed me that girls of all ages go through monthly cycles! I was telling her my 2 yo wasn't sleeping well. It's like she's fine for a while and then has a period of terrible sleep and then is fine again. She said to try tracking when the disturbance happens because it could be her "cycle," even though she doesn't have a period yet. Point being: your baby is having cycles anyway, and something being off or elevated may be causing the "mini period."
Just my guess. Call your doc ???
How I missed the portion that said she has no phone is beyond me, but you definitely need to get one! You are at home with a small child, you cannot be without a phone. Please make that a priority after you get your child taken care of. Do you have a cell phone that just isn't connected to service? Download an app to make calls over wifi! You need something.
If I was pregnant could my hormones be going to her through breast milk. Idk that I am pregnant but I've been considering testing because I've been a bit nauseous and moody.
Thank goodness it's nothing to worry about.
