Pain and bleeding return
The bleeding and cramps set back in at 11:20ish in the morning, about half hour after the baby woke up from her morning nap.
I was fighting to maintain.
600mg Ibuprofen didn’t help so I took half a Tylenol 3.
The baby was contained and happy in her exersaucer, and I was thankful that I’d already set up the play mat and pillows as well. I figured she’s got two places to play today in the living room so everything would work out, right?
At 12:07pm I took it back. She started crying so I took her out of the exersaucer but she didn’t want to leave my arm. Wouldn’t sit on the play mat. Wouldn’t just sit on my lap. Wanted to be held and rocked. Which is reeeeally painful for me right now. Finally she just broke down and cried and rubbed her eyes while I held her and rocked her, so that signaled naptime. Weird since she’d only been up for an hour but then again, she is teething.
So I put her in her crib, and after half an hour, she cried herself to sleep.
I checked on myself in the bathroom and passed a huge.. HUGE clot. That’s what all the pain was for.
The baby’s mom told me the baby’s only had 3 naps in the past two days. Compare with the usual - 3 to 4 naps each day.
Poor thing. She’s got a runny nose, a cough and two first teeth. She’s probably as miserable as I am.
