Woke up with pains. Had to come to the hospital. Intense contractions and started to dilate. They just broke my water. Pretty nervous I’m 11 weeks early. I’ll update later when this baby arrives. Looks like it will be birthday twins with my dad. Omg keep us posted!! We love you!

The universe is inherently unfair to women. Childbirth and its lingering impacts are insanely awful, and pretty much rule out there being a benevolent creator.
With that said, I hated having a baby the first time and I hate it the second time as well. Felt kinda bad the first time, not anymore. Just looking forward to the kid being able to walk. After that, I begin to acclimate and find things pretty agreeable. I sure like hanging out with my 3 year old daughter right now.

Everyone who loves those early months, more power to you. Wish I could get on that level, but I think I’m just not a good person.

My wife is currently ill in the hospital and I am on work + baby duty, and I am losing it. He can be with her but it is hard for her to take care of him/rest when he is there, and just coming off my parental leave, I am going to have to try to take emergency time off.
All while this is happening, I get offered a new job in a new city, which would be great but I cant take it, with such uncertainty.

Just like with most things, just keep breathing until you get to a non awful season in life.

My 2 year old is so sweet and fun but is a total bull in the china shop and can destroy the house in a matter of minutes. Is in a big phase of asking “why” for literally everything and just learned to start saying “No” to things she doesn’t want to do which is so frustrating.

I took my son to the allergist again for testing and he’s finally grown out of his dairy allergy. We wen't to the grocery store afterwards and got him a bunch of food he can finally eat for the first time. Mac and cheese, real butter, milk, etc. He’s still allergic to egg, but that’s much easier to avoid than diary Finally grew out of egg a few weeks ago! Had more testing done at the allergist. Ate some egg and monitored his vitals for a few hours and cleared him. He started preschool last week and we didn’t have to send him there with an epipen like last year. Still processing how life changing this is.

Looks like it will be birthday twins with my dad. Congrats Sara, looks like you both made it through a rough ride (according to IG)! Glad You're all ok!

Anyone in here the sole earner in a family with kids? With the twins on the way having one of us be with them full time is sort of the only choice that makes any sense right now, and I earn a lot more than mai wife so naturally it makes sense for me to be the one who will stay working. For a few years when it was just her and I I was the only one of us working at times, but it feels like a bit more pressure knowing if I get shitcanned or something now it’d be my kids lives that could get kinda messed up too. Idk where I’m going with this other than does this kinda stuff ever get overwhelming for ya? And how do y’all deal with these kinda feelings if so/ if not? Also how tf does anyone afford kids? I’m still tryna wrap my head around that part. I'm a single dad of three with physical custody. My daughters are in Middle school, my son is in elementary and, as expected, expenses are rising. I'm lucky to have a good job, but some months are harder than others money and stress wise.

This last week has been crazy. I had my baby 11 weeks early. Her name is Puffin Zelda Dixius. She weighed 3lbs and ended up being born on my dad's birthday, September 5th. She is in the NICU and will be there for at least two months or so. Aside from the normal issues involved with being born so early, she is doing well.
I woke up late Wednesday evening with pains. wen't in. Long story short they could tell the baby was in some sort of distress so they popped my water hoping there would be relief, there wasn't. Rushed me for an emergency c-section. My epidural didn't work for the left side of my body so they had to put me fully under.
While I was in recovery I crashed with a blood pressure of 50/20. They took some blood later and saw my hemoglobin was super low. They gave me 3 blood transfusions over a day and a half, did a CT scan and realized I was bleeding internally. So I had to go back into surgery Saturday at midnight, which was insanely scary. The surgery floor is terrifying. It was like some government scifi movie with twisty sterile hallways, big metal storage containers, random lab coats on the wall, and not a single person around. Probably didn't help they wheeled me by a surgery room that had been cleaned up minus all the blood on the floor.
Anyways, the surgery worked. Finally on the mend and FINALLY was able to start holding my baby. I was discharged Tuesday evening.
It's been crazy and I thought I might die for a bit, but i'm now healing and I can start focusing on Puffin. Sam has been absolutely amazing and beyond supportive this whole time. Didn't think I could love that guy anymore.

Can’t imagine the whirlwind of emotions the past week has been. That had to be so scary. Glad everybody is doing well and you got to finally hold your baby. What a joy.

Sarah, I am so glad that everything is turning out ok. Athe stress, uncertainty and emotion that comes from such an emergency is hard to describe and can really only be felt. I hate to make "suggestions" at this time, but our hospital offered us the option of having an explanatory meeting with the doctors who made the decision to have our emergency c-section. You seem to know yours, but it may help answer any lingering questions, should you have any. Both my wife and I struggled (and are struggling) with the fact that for us there was "no birth", and it has taken us going to a lot of therapy in the first 3 months. hayley once said watch out for signs of ppa or ppd because it is very real, and she is 100% right. It may not be your case but traumatic births can trigger some stuff; keep an eye out for it and talk to professionals, if you can.

Did they nick me or not stitch me properly? How was it overlooked. So we shall see about that.

I showed my daughter The Great Muppet Caper this morning and hours later at lunch, she tells me, "Daddy, I don't like the Muppet movie." Not even two and already crushing my world. I'm about to leave to get a pack of cigarettes and never come back.
