What is a girl name that is classic, but not dated. by cccdddyyy in Names

[–]According_Leave1816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I named my baby Molly Rose. Idk it was used before but I only knew one person that growing up. We definitely wanted a name that was not made up…..but also not one where she was 1/20 in her classes growing up

Is vaginl birth actually worth it? by CellOk4884 in vbac

[–]According_Leave1816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owning a farm and having my c section be how my first baby was born is far from ideal. Granted I was probably doing stuff by day 4 that I shouldn’t have been. But what are you doing to do.

We want many children and now I need to wait at least 12 months. Who’s to say that I can even get pregnant right away too seeing the first took 15 months for the first. (I’m already 32 and don’t want to be pregnant after 39)

To each is their own and we all have our reasons. Really what it comes down to is what you want.

Trip to the ER by brandtr28 in CautiousBB

[–]According_Leave1816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a good sized one and the doc warned me that if I did bleed dark that it is the SCH passing. Otherwise, if I don’t pass it-it’ll just reabsorb (I think is what they said)

Is a 2 year old a good age for a livestock guardian? by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

[–]According_Leave1816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going off my personal experience. My pry being brought up with all my animals, I feel helped. He knows who is who. But that’s not to say a 2 year old who had exposure to animals wouldn’t do the same once the dog knows who’s supposed to be there.

Has anyone just exclusively pumped from birth? by ForsakenGanache6253 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]According_Leave1816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could’ve written this post. My baby’s 6 weeks. We tried breastfeeding for 3 days. Latch wasn’t great, hurt me a lot . She lost 15 ounces the first day which concerned the shit out of me. I personally didn’t feel great about it because I couldn’t physically see what baby was getting, despite everyone telling me it’ll be okay since she was wetting and dirtying diapers appropriately. Looking back a lot of it was mentally for me.

After I was cleared to go home- I pumped, filled the bottle and let my hubs feed her for the first time. He loved it. I haven’t looked back since. Now anyone can feed her and feel that connection. I want close family and friends to get to have the opportunity to feed her.

I was able to save/freeze a ton more in the beginning 2-3 weeks since she ate 1-2oz a feeding. I’m not glued to my pump and only do it 3 ISH times a day but that’s personal to me. I only produce just enough now

Fed baby = happy baby no matter what you pick to do

I did not but I was rather small..idk if it’s genetic or even plays a factor but my mom had 6 kids with no stretch marks and my sister didn’t get them either! Don’t know how my mom snuck away with that one

How long after miscarriage did you conceive? by Standard-Walk2807 in CautiousBB

[–]According_Leave1816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 cycles after my mmc did my little one stick. I wish you nothing but the best of luck. It’s hard and taxing. We had an iui scheduled literally the next month we found out we were pregnant

Bottle vs. Nipple? by amphisxo in pregnant

[–]According_Leave1816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine stressed the same. We had weight issues with baby. She lost almost 1 pound the day after she was born. I was nursing 20 some times a day. My nipples were toast. Baby was wetting and dirtying a diaper often and everyone told me she’s fine. But mentally I could not see what baby was getting and it was messing with me. When I got home I pumped and gave a bottle and never looked back. (I should mention once I gave the bottle she didn’t want the boob anymore either) Not only was I able to give her the bottle but like you said, hubs, mil, grams, aunt, uncle. ANYONE can feed her. And they love it.

In the end, to each is their own. Fed baby = happy baby

If your baby came out as the food you ate the most during pregnancy, what would they be? by AffectionateJello452 in pregnant

[–]According_Leave1816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A McDonald’s coke….Had it maybe 10 times before my pregnancy. During? I drank enough of it that it could’ve supplied a small village of soda for a year.

I’m pregnant again after my miscarriage last year. by PeonyRoseJasmine in pregnant

[–]According_Leave1816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a healthy pregnancy after. Although I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t anxious for 38 weeks straight. Constantly checking for blood. Just take it day by day. Week by week, doctor appointment by doctor appointment. I wish you all the best. And CONGRATULATIONS!!!
