My 18 month old son is getting blood drawn today and I'm literally freaking out !
Did anyone else's LO have to go threw this ?
What are some helpful tips to get threw this ?
How can I prepare my child ?
@chasha2017 thank you I'm just hoping it's not a long process to go threw!
It's literally the same as you getting blood drawn. Takes less than a minute and the only part that hurts is when they initially put the needle in.
Have a snack or his favorite toy handy to help soothe him when they're done.
Stay calm so your baby can stay calm. Hold him down good so the process goes by smoothly and quickly.
@festrada12345 is it going to be the same thing they do to adults ,how are they going to keep it in ?
It’s the same as when you get one ... nothing to worry about ... your child will go off of you
Well big thing to know is that they will very possibly have you sit them on your lap and hold them down so that they can needle them once
So if your not up to that you might want to take someone that can do it ... also ask for the best person they have that is good at doing it to small children because I can guarantee you that there is one .... I work in a clinic and I see it all the time
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
❤️Getting to know you❤️
Since our May group is growing strong and we have a lot of new mommies joining and sharing their bfp's...Thought it will be fun to get to know each other as we all share our pregnancy journey!
I just went through this about a month ago. It wasn’t bad at all. My daughter was angry about me restraining her but didn’t even react to the needle going into her arm. IIRC, they only took like 2 tubes of blood.
