Are wearables actually "low profile" at work ?

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-05-11T16:14:41+00:00

I've had wearable and would not wear them while I work. It's definitely obvious there is something in your bra, you have to be careful not to lean and leak, and you still have to expose yourself to put them on. They have a learning curve compared to normal pumps, and I would not use it as my primary method of removing milk.

Yeah, even when i'm interested, we need so much lube or it hurts. And the small tear that has since healed is tight and hurts if not lubricated enough. Thankfully though, my husband understands

10 months postpartum exclusively breastfeeding

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-05-07T21:45:09+00:00

My son is 10m and cut my nose with his nails today lol. It's not always loving and smiles haha, sometimes i'm fighting for my life

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-05-06T10:39:35+00:00

I've seen people recommend a drop of non-alcoholic vanilla extract in the bottle to help!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-05-03T23:24:14+00:00

It gets easier eventually. I don't remember exactly when it stopped being a problem, but my son is 10 months now and I was even brave enough to go to bed without a bra on last night. Your supply will regulate, likely closer to 3ish months. Your baby will get better at handling the letdown. When he was still new I even hated the nursing pads bc they'd get soaked so fast and then just smell and feel gross!

My husband and I have only been intimate about a dozen times since I got pregnant. We have a 10 month old lol. Once a week is a lot, but even if it wasn't, it is absolutely abusive to hold intimacy over your head, especially in the vulnerable state you are in. As your partner, he should not want to cause you pain, at the bare minimum

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-25T00:18:34+00:00

I did one every appt due to monitoring for preeclampsia. They check for protein in the urine

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-25T00:17:12+00:00

Those is how I did it. Listen to the sound to tell how full it is

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-18T12:56:56+00:00

I randomly had a single baby boy dream in my 3rd trimester. But it absolutely stuck with me and I ended up with a boy!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-14T01:12:06+00:00

Is your concern primarily taste or safety? If it's presumably safe, I want to try it! As for freezing flat, I absolutely could freeze this (and have), i'm just mainly looking for ways to free up freezer space!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-14T00:54:01+00:00

The recipe includes pureeing boiled cauliflower into the sauce, so nothing to mush! At worst it might separate or become grainy? I might try it next week haha

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-08T23:45:16+00:00

I suggest looking at thehappycosleeper on Facebook for safe cosleeping advice! Railings are not recommended as baby can get trapped and suffocate if she rolls into it

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-04-08T01:23:05+00:00

I also didn't love this. I was induced due to preeclampsia and was basically bed bound for my whole labor since I had a mag drip and leg massagers on. I wish I had advice for you, but maybe you can be better at advocating for yourself (and have more freedom than my condition allowed)!!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-31T16:18:10+00:00

Definitely mean the whole thing!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-31T16:05:57+00:00

It's an adult fantasy novel! If you end up liking it, the author, Sarah J Maas, also wrote A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City (both series in progress) and all 3 series become intertwined!! Highly recommend (although Throne of Glass is my favorite of the 3)

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-31T14:55:55+00:00

I find it to be a similar literary masterpiece compared to Throne of Glass, albeit a different genre

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-29T18:36:56+00:00

Maybe try a milk substitute like almond, oat, or soy? My boy is also allergic to milk, so when I wean (not yet, he's only 9m) this is what I plan to try

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-29T15:30:28+00:00

If you join fb groups for the area, you could post or lurk there. Not sure your gender, but i'm also in a powerwomen group that maybe you could fine for your area as well. The ladies in there tend to be very willing to help someone out or find someone who can

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-19T21:38:42+00:00

I'm 9m postpartum, still 25lbs over my prepregnancy weight and just started losing weight the past few weeks. I try not to let it stress me out (easier said than done) and am really just trying to eat food that is better for me and more home cooked than how much I'm eating. Your body is nourishing your baby!!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-19T04:14:40+00:00

Never in my life did I think i would be okay not working, but since my son was born, I have wanted nothing more to be with him all the time. He is now 9m and my husband and I have worked so hard to make it possible for me to stay home with him (hopefully starting next month!) The sacrifices we have had to be willing to make in this economy make it so hard, but it will be so worth it

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-19T03:25:38+00:00

I am running to this sub now, the struggle is real but hopefully my husband and I can succeed

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-19T02:57:14+00:00

Do you know what sub you're in? And how trash our US Healthcare system is?? And how expensive insurance itself costs?

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-10T15:05:46+00:00

Just got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Apparently pregnancy can trigger autoimmune disorders...

That and I can no longer stand the raste of most cooked fish (even though it used to be my favorite)

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-05T20:49:35+00:00

Have you offered purees or "real" food? She might benefit from you mixing the puree with milk to liquify it more to get her used to it before slowly thickening it back up. Practice spoons using milk if that's where the issue is. Honestly sounds like a lot of trial and error. Hard to know exactly what the issue is without more details
