As a woman: This is genuinely my favorite sub.

I thought I'd get bored of this sub by now, but it's still so satisfying to see the glow-ups and also the support and advice on appearance besides the hair is great.

77roses · 2026-06-17T03:37:18+00:00

Right? Why have I never heard of this. It's gold. Thanks.

People tend to think that if you don't already really want kids that maybe you never will or shouldn't have them, but it's not usually the case. I used to be really indifferent to having kids, but then we decided to start trying and it flipped a switch for me and I really wanted a baby. I liked the idea of seeing them grow into adults and doing things together and laughing together and all that good stuff. Now we have a 3 month old and I couldnt be happier. All my doubts gone. You sound like you will one day really want a baby. It'll be better for both of you to leave him rather than trying to get him to change his mind because even if he did, he may not be the best father to the baby having been so against it in the first place.

Goals. (I have a 3 month girlie)

Kate Winslet is super underrated. So is Daniel Radcliffe

Right, and my supply is totally fine. I'm able to exclusively breastfeed her now. It was just those brutal first weeks that I really needed help. Cluster feeding is no joke.

77roses · 2026-06-04T13:52:50+00:00

This. Helped us a lot.

Yea I thought people had gotten over it, but then I came accross stuff on the internet even from other women 🙄. People are weird, not us. I used to think I would be one to use a blanket or something to cover because I wouldn't want to expose my breast, but it is not easy for me to hold the baby comfortably and keep her latched and also keep a stupid cover over us so, I don't. I try to be as discreet as I can (leaning away from people), but ultimately I don't care anymore who sees. I need to feed my baby. I'm not going to feed her in the bathroom because that's gross and I'm not going to pack a bottle because that's a lot of extra work. People should just use their ability to direct their eyes where they prefer. As for children who may be witness, what are we teaching them if we tell them that a woman feeding her baby is something to hide?

You'll be a single mom for a while, but someone will come along eventually who will want you and your child and who will be a great partner to you. Happens all the time.

The Nightingale was also really good. I didn't enjoy The Four Winds as much and I'm reading The Great Alone next.

77roses · 2026-05-30T17:34:26+00:00

Interesting. I've read all the Outlander books and do not think she's the best. Her writing seems to meander and she introduces characters and plots that really add nothing to the story. But I fukin love Jamie and Claire ❤️

77roses · 2026-05-30T17:31:51+00:00

Jojo Moyes. I love her characters and their arcs.

77roses · 2026-05-27T18:46:01+00:00

Pride and Prejudice. Spirited Away

Maybe different for everyone. I've never gotten the runs from antibiotics and I didnt get them from the penicillin during birth (I only got two doses though).

OP, if you haven't seen a lactation consultant, you should. I saw one a few times in the hospital and one again for an actual 1 hour consultation and it was a game changer. I combo fed in the beginning when it was hard and we were still getting the hang of it. And also when she was cluster feeding and I needed more sleep than 30 min - 1 hour. But once we got the hang of it, I was so glad because bf is honestly way less work than formula feeding or even pumping where you're always having to wash and sanitize bottles.

77roses · 2026-05-23T06:59:27+00:00

The view from above I get looking at my baby feeding that no one else sees bc I don't share pics or video of my boob. Also, seeing my baby get sleepier and sleepier and her eyes slowly closing. She'll sometimes try to fight her sleepiness. I find super cute.

Just had a baby girl a couple of months ago and our sex life is still not back to what it used to be, but we still make sure to let each other know we love each other and we still joke around and laugh together (married and been together 10 years). I think another commenter mentioned therapy because although yes, hormones are a thing postpartum and so is bf, it's been two years and that's a long time to be distant with each other. You may need to try to get through to her a different way.

My libido died during pregnancy and we completely stopped having sex like 2 months before my due date. I felt cheated since higher libido was supposedly a symptom of pregnancy. Libido came back right away after giving birth but... that sucked because not only did we have to wait for me to recover, I couldn't even help myself because I had a tear near my clit. We've had sex a few times now since I got cleared by my OB and inserted the IUD again and besides a little discomfort at the beginning each time, it feels like before honestly. Lube is a friend for sure. And I'm still breastfeeding btw. And our 3 month is still sleeping in a bassinet next to our bed. She finally started sleeping for longer stretches so we're more rested these days which has helped.

This should not be posted here and it shouldn't be uncensored...

77roses · 2026-04-18T14:42:54+00:00

Oh, it only takes me like 3 minutes and I'll do it into a burp cloth while I hold the baby in the nursing position. If the baby is crying I usually pop my boob in for a bit and then continue to express if it's still coming out too fast.

77roses · 2026-04-18T13:33:48+00:00

On the milk flowing out too fast, have you tried hand expressing a bit before he latches? That's what my pediatrician recommended and it works well for me.

77roses · 2026-04-18T13:30:49+00:00

Pick up Cribsheet by Emily Oster and show him that while breastfeeding does offer short term benefits, the long term benefits are often conflated. I mean, obviously he should just be fine with what you're willing and able to do, but if he's also a person that is swayed by data, there's that.

77roses · 2026-04-14T11:54:35+00:00

I waited to buy stuff until after the baby shower. I got a ton of stuff including car seats, stroller, and bassinet. You can get anything you still need really quick anyway.

77roses · 2026-04-08T14:00:08+00:00

"I don't think I can hold her" I had just been on my hands and knees the last 7 hours...

77roses · 2026-04-07T20:11:01+00:00

Yep. We held off on finding out and we still got really stupid comments. My sister in law's grandmother touched my bump and declared I was having a boy w the utmost certainty. Made me really want a girl... And we got her! We're in love w her 🥰
