VPH type 16… so sad 😔 what to do?

I’m 10 weeks, I did my regular exams and I was diagnosed with papilloma virus high risk…I am so sad and scary to develop cancer and the anxiety is making me think about catastrophic scenarios like ‘ll have cancer and never will be grow up my baby.

I am blaming myself for my sexual activity before to get married…I am scared and panicking for me, my couple and my baby.

Any advice or words? I am in an anxiety spiral and I do not know what to do or how handle this. I am 32 years old.

I appreciate everything you can tell me at this time.😭😞

What are your options? I had high risk cells many years ago and got a LEEP procedure done where they burned off the high risk cells around my cervix and I haven’t had it since. Take folic acid and multivitamins as your immune system can eventually fight the HPV off within 2 years of finding out. That’s what I was told by my gyno. Haven’t tested positive for it since. You will be okay, cancerous cells don’t develop until about 10 years later so there are ways to get rid of the high risk cells. do your research and find out your options.

I don't have any advice but just wanted to tell you I'm thinking about you and it makes so much sense to be very stressed out with this kind of news. I wish you a healthy pregnancy and life. I know it doesn't always shift into cancer but it doesn't matter that is terrifying news and I'd feel the same.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
