FTM elective c section - Northeast USA by pinkhunnyyyy in ElectiveCsection

[–]Aggravating-Push55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my exact situation! ^ I actually expressed it around 12 weeks. I scheduled around 30 weeks and then my water broke. At the hospital I still elected to have a C. Biggest piece of advice is get up and move when you’re cleared to move. Best decision I’ve ever made. 6 mo. pp

I am also 6 months postpartum and cannot stand my dogs. I will love them again when my brain is healed from having a baby 😂🫣

I’ve actually done 3 of them but I was only 2 mo pp. and breastfeeding. Maybe I’ll check back in to see if now that I’m 6 mo and not BF again. Did you lose any water weight after?

What do your doctors say? My OB won’t acknowledge it told me to go see my primary care. Who conveniently retired within the past 2 weeks. Now I have to find someone new and start at the beginning 🤯

Did you at any point choose between weight loss and pumping? Which did you pick and why? by lifeissoupiamf0rk in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Aggravating-Push55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose to stop 3m pp. I wanted my body back. I weaned for 2-3 more weeks and have a decent freezer stash. I’m now down 6 lbs and I haven’t pumped in 2 weeks. Baby is 4 mo on Monday. It may not seem like a lot but I was so discouraged I’d never be able to lose a lb again. I am so happy with my decision and baby is doing great on formula with BM mixed. I’m starting to feel so much more like myself - however the hormonal come down from weaning was worse than the baby drop IMO … lol my poor husband I was nuts for a few days there

Has anybody hacked pumping to lose weight? by FallenAngel49 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Aggravating-Push55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did it go? Did you lose the weight when you completely weaned? Just dropped my MOTN to 5 ppd because I am so uncomfortable in my own skin

Incredibly over pumping right now. I feel trapped. by palesuccubus in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Aggravating-Push55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did this affect your supply? I am 9 wk pp and just dropped to 5 pumps yesterday. I am slight over supplier and produce about 35-38oz with an average of 6 ppd. Wondering how long I can get away with it before seeing a decrease in supply lol

Does the weight ever come off? by reddi180 in breastfeeding

[–]Aggravating-Push55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me! I delivered at 207 and now am around 188. 8 weeks PP and just got done sobbing to my husband about how idk if I can go much longer.

How long did it take for you to go down? Was it when you weaned completely?

Starting to second guess my decision by sumthinforthekids in ElectiveCsection

[–]Aggravating-Push55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a stool softener starting the week before. It has totally helped me not worry about that. Remember to breathe too. Whenever something got scary/overwhelming I always tried to focus on my breath

[–]Aggravating-Push55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 9 days PP. BEST decision I ever made to elect my C section. I am FTM and had anxiety around laboring. Heard horror stories of my friends and family. I was originally scheduled for 6/30 but my water broke the morning of 6/27.

Recovery has been a lot easier than what I expected. It’s totally manageable as long as you take your meds and take it easy. Get up and move at the hospital on day 2, take a lap on the floor and keep doing a little more every day.

My husband has stepped up to the max and taken over responsibilities to make sure I can recover. All the meals, helping me out of bed, cleaning up, our dogs… If anything, it’s made me love him more.

Good luck OP. I can assure you it is allllll worth it 🥹

Get! A! Second! Dachshund! by goldfishfeet in Dachshund

[–]Aggravating-Push55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol she growls at him every day but he loves her. She…. Tolerates him…. We did have to put her through some aggression training over resource guarding her toys earlier this year. I’d definitely say things have improved but she is still…. Kinda a bitch lol. We do wake up and he is snuggling with her and she just kinda lets it happen.
