We have one huge poop per day that requires an outfit change 90% of the time.

I have anxiety about baby's head since it still has 2 odd divets on the top from being so coned at birth. We did a skull X-ray and all is good; his pedi said it's just taking a long time to get to normal but I can't help but worry that it never will. It definitely is better, so that makes me feel a little less worried. I have most anxiety about my older son's penis. Surgery #4 is June 4, and we are looking at possibly 1-2 more after that to get it "normal." Even after it's fixed, I know that he could have lots of issues later in life because of all of this, so I am constantly worried. =( Can you remind me why your older son needed surgery? (I may have missed you explaining it) Hugs!

How often do your lo’s poop? He’s still pooping easily 3-4 times a day which I feel like is a lot but H says not to worry. 0 to 4 times a day

Even after it's fixed, I know that he could have lots of issues later in life because of all of this, so I am constantly worried. =( Can you remind me why your older son needed surgery? (I may have missed you explaining it) Hugs! He was born with moderate hypospadias. Hypospadias occurs in 1 in 200 males and is where the urethra does not make it to the tip of the penis so urine exits the penis at a different spot. 75-80% have mild HS where the opening for the urine is somewhere on the tip of the penis - just not at the top/tip. DS’s urine was coming out mid-shaft. We did surgery at 6 months thinking (and being told by that surgeon) that it would be the only surgery he’d ever need. He ended up developing fistulas (new holes formed), that surgeon corrected them, but new ones just formed again. We started researching and found out we literally have the world’s most well-known HS surgeon 10 minutes away (SO upsetting we didn’t go to him originally). He operated in Dec. and found 40 degree curvature (a side effect of the HS), and so we had to do a graft where they took a large chunk out of his mouth and put on his penis (on the inside). His penis has been splayed open on the underside ever since.

My biggest worries for baby at the moment also relate to gross motor skills (no rolling at 3.5 Months, also doesn’t really to attempt to bear weight if we stand her up). As well as spit-up reflux weight gain concerns. I’m sure she’s fine, but everyone comments on how much she spits up and she’s gaining a fair amount slower than sisters did.
At one point is medication the next step for anxiety? I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life, and DH has started suggesting we maybe go that route. I feel like I’m being ridiculous and I need to just get my shit together and handle life. But then I wonder if maybe medicine would make me feel less like a crazy person.

ajetter DS is almost 4mo and doesn’t roll yet either. I’m chalking it up to him being so comfy on his tummy (he usually just lays down & goes to sleep when he is done playing) that he feels no desire to roll haha

The only thing that gives me any anxiety is developmental milestones. I think because G had a speech delay and we are looking into a possible ASD diagnosis, I worry about development a lot with the baby.

ajetter, my sis has three kids. When her youngest was tiny, she did go on meds to manage the anxiety. Now that the kids are a little bigger she can manage her anxiety better and hasn't needed them any more. It's definitely something to discuss with your doc!

ajetter hugs for the anxiety. I was at this point when M was about to be born. I didn’t know if there was something I could do to just get my shit together or I’d medication would be best. I decided to go with the medication since having more than one kid ultimately leaves you with way less time for self care and I can honestly say without a doubt it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I’ve struggled with bad anxiety but survived through it and now since it’s decreased so much and I’m not constantly having panic stacks I feel like I can look at my anxiety objectively and deal with it less emotionally than I could before. My plan is to stay on the dosage I’m at uNtil M is a year and then slowly wean off it and see how I do. It’s a very personal choice and I totally understand where your coming from, but this has just been my experience and I just found it took a huge weight off my shoulders.

easternshoregirl maddisonrose thanks ladies. I think part of me feels like needing meds means I’m weak or inadequate, but the reality is if it can help me function better most of the time, it benefits more than just me.
