Any IUGR success stories? We were diagnosed at 28 weeks and just made it to 32 (6th percentile estimated fetal weight) – likely to be induced at 37 weeks if not sooner depending on twice weekly ultrasound results. It seems like outcomes can vary widely. Some doctors we see really downplay the risks and others seem much more ominous. Trying to avoid doing too much sleuthing myself to avoid panicking, but would love to hear if anyone has any experience and how babies are doing now!
Thoughts on Bear as a first name for a baby boy? Too cutesy?
I am so grateful to this hive. My husband started not feeling well on Sunday and now we are on day 4 of him with some symptoms. I’m just about done with the poor me I don’t feel well. When Moms are sick they just power through. It doesn’t help that his parents are constantly asking me how he’s doing….I’m busy working, taking care of our kids, running the house, etc. Meanwhile I had foot surgery on Monday and I’m hobbling around. Thanks for listening!!
Has anyone experienced blood sugar related issues in pregnancy without being diagnosed with gestational diabetes? I’m close to the cutoff but not above it, however I’m experiencing pregnancy complications that are typically associated with GD (baby is measuring huge and amniotic fluid is high). My doctor’s office seems to take a pretty relaxed “you’re below the cutoff so we’re not worried” approach to GD – they may not be worried but I am! I think they are used to working with patients who are resistant to being diagnosed, whereas I am much more concerned about not being diagnosed when I should be. It feels to me like blood sugar management is a spectrum more than it is a black and white thing, and I’m on the problematic end of the spectrum. I’m trying to figure out what sort of support I should ask my doctor for over the remainder of my pregnancy. At this point I’m considering just buying a glucose meter on my own and tracking my numbers, but I wonder if I would get better guidance if my doctor’s office was working with me on it. Any resources would be very much appreciated!
I’m currently 0/3 in getting a babysitter for this weekend. I’ve got a few other requests out and have posted on our neighborhood Facebook group, but man do I finally really see the appeal of the Babysitters Club. One phone call to check availability for 5-9 sitters? Yes please.
Just had my first experience getting locked out of a summer camp… two minutes after registration opened. Fun times.
Venting…I posted a few weeks ago about having a severely depressed spouse.
I’ve suggested therapy (either him alone, or offered we both go), and he thinks he’s “not there yet.” He’s better than a few weeks ago, has shared what he’s going through with some friends…but it seems like he has some big internal things and stuff from his past/childhood to deal with that requires professional help.
Honestly, even him joining some type of low-stakes social outlet (trivia night, rec league) would probably help a lot at this point, but I think he feels like he’s limited due to work and work travel.
I’m fortunately OK thanks to therapy and my own “village” of friends and family I can lean on.
I’m not looking to separate or divorce, but just writing out for any support this community can offer. If anyone has been through this, please share your experience with me.
Can anyone share what interviewing at a private (catholic) preschool is like? What kind of questions are usually asked from parents or child?
