Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 A lot of babies pee when they nurse so maybe she is connecting the UTI pain with nursing? Jenn -----Original Message-----From: Ross & Henne .. We went to the ped that our Dr referred us to today and he called the lab and we found out that she has a UTI. My poor baby suffered all weekend with it. (snip) The ped really seems to be helpful in finding out why she cries when she nurses so I think we will be changing Drs. Just wanted to update you all!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 , Make sure they follow up with your daughter, with further testing, its very unusual for babies to get UTI's and it usually indicates some underlying, problem.. not to scare you, I just want you to be informed..

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 About 13 years ago I was babysitting a friends infant while she worked. He was only a couple of months old and had a cold. She called the doctor who told her to give him .4 ml of robitussin....she brought him over in the morning and was explaining to me what to give him later in the day....when her eyes got huge and she said OH NO...I'm sure he said .4, but I gave him 4ml....he'd had 10 times the proper dose. He slept ALL day that day but suffered no other ill effects, thank God.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 , I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. It does seem really unfair that people " accidentally " get pg. (My SIL has 2 planned children and 3 " accidents " !) I'm dealing with a lot of the same issues as you, and it's not easy. Just remember that someday, it will be your turn. Eventually, it will work out. (I know that's REALLY hard to do, but I try to keep telling myself...) And if you need to vent, cry, kick, scream, or have a temper tantrum, go ahead! We know how hard it is! Feel better, 28, UD 2 m/c, still ttc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Augh! I'm so sorry and can totally relate. My best friend and I were pregnant at the same time and I had a m/c. That was hard enough. Then we had to deal with infertility...she was pregnant with her 2nd and I was still ttc! I'm so sorry you're going through this now. Hang in there...I'm thinking of you.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi , Sorry to hear about your friend & I totally understand. I have the same problem. Except she is someone I have to deal with because their entire family are like family to us & her husband is my husband's best friend. ugh! It's a very tough road & none of it makes any sense nor is it fair. Big hugs to you & don't give up!! W. > Hi Ladies, > > Hope all is well with everyone. I just need a little venting moment. My best friend called tonight, wanted to know if we could get together tonight, she needed to talk to me. Of course, the answer is always yes. She is 37, 3 kids, etc. She wanted to tell me she is 4 months, pregnant before I found out on my own. She did not want to tell me, knowing what we have been through, and how long and hard we have been ttc. She really did not want to have anymore children, but it happened. > > She is my best friend, and I love her to death, oh but this hurts. Why is is so easy for everyone else, or at least it seems. Now I have to be as supportive of her as she has been for me through all of this. I really don't know if I can do it faithfully and honestly, not feeling the twinges of jealousy that I am feeling now. > > Sorry for rambling, just had to get it out. > > Thanks, > > ttc 3 years > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi . I'm so sorry. I have been in your shoes and it hurts. But it sounds like your friend really cares about you. I used to hate the ones that didn't know what to say, avoided eye contact or completely avoided me b/c they knew that it would hurt me. I think your friend cares a lot about you and knew that there was no way to turn this into good news for you, but wanted you to find out the right way...from her. I'm glad that she has been there for you in the past. It will be HARD. Don't feel bad if it's too difficult to deal with her pg right now. I'm sure she would understand if she has been by your side through everything. I must admit that I'm on the other side of the fence right now and worried about my friend. She's my admin asst here at work and we have become close over the years we have worked together. She just lost her first pg at 19 wks a few days after Christmas. It was devastating - IC came out of nowhere and the bag of waters dropped through the cervix. She lost her son after the sac ruptured. Today she will go for her follow up appt and find out when she can return to work. I think it has been good for both of us to be able to talk to each other through this. She knows that I had 2 m/c and an SU resection before having my dd. But you see, I am so worried about how hard all of this is for her and I am expecting #2 literally any day. I want to be here at work to help her through it all b/c I know she has a lot of bad days ahead of her as she deals w/ this, but I also feel awkward about my own pg because I know how hard it was for me when I was grieving and around pg women. I've shared this with her and she understands - it's just gonna be hard. I know that it hurts to be around your friend right now. You are perfectly normal for the way you feel and it's probably hurting her too since she has been there for you in the past. Take the time you need to deal with it. I'm sure you strong friendship will weather through this too in time. Hugs, Sara SU resected x2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 ( & everyone)- Thanks for your posts. It actually makes me feel a lot better to hear that I am not the only one going through a rough time dealing with pg friends!! From all the responses, I think that almost everyone on this board knows how you feel! In fact, I am going through the same emotions right now. It seems like everyone I know is pg. Although I'm happy for them, it is hard to deal with after having just lost my baby on Dec. 1st at 17.5 wks. Three of my best friends are expecting their first baby – two of them are due just 3 wks after I was supposed to be due. Hearing about each milestone and trying to be supportive is very hard! I'm beginning to think I deserve an Academy Award for acting interested & happy! Normally in a time like this, going to church would make me feel better, but 5 women in my sunday school class are also pg. At first I was glad that everyone seemed afraid to talk to me about what happened (except my best friends) – but now its weird - almost like they're pretending it never happened. To make matters worse, my husband is in the military and deployed overseas. With him gone, I sometimes feel like I have no one to talk to about this. The thing that really makes me feel better is reading all these posts that remind me that maybe I'm not obsessive and maybe I'm not the only person dealing with these issues!
