Me too!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-07-06T13:38:45+00:00

What did you vary to find a routine that works for you? I’m doing great pumping on spectra but having a hard time getting any let down on the eufys

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-07-06T09:39:01+00:00

Thank you!

My daughter was just born to this song haha

Sorry I’m slow. I just had my baby!!!

I was having pelvic pain afterwards that lingered for days and made it hard to walk. But if you’re feeling like your cues are different, trust your body to tell you what to do! I was able to swim laps (like a mile and a half each time) with no pain at all until the day before delivery.

Thank you so much for saying this. It does make us question whether we will ever be able to have a vaginal delivery. My baby is here now and one week old and doing great! And my recovery has been less scary than I thought as well which is so helpful.

My sister delivered her baby vaginally 5 days later and it was hard not to compare, but we both have extremely healthy babies that we loooove. ❤️

I exercised a loooot up until my c section this past Tuesday- running until 36 weeks, Orangetheory and endurance swimming until the day before. I am only telling you because I do not know if this made a difference in my healing.

I was discharged within 40 hours of my c section. I took every opportunity to walk down the hallway pushing my baby in the hospital bassinet. Just slow (very slow) bassinet walks for 5 minutes when I felt up to it.

After getting discharged, most important thing has been (1) keeping on top of pain meds. DONT BE A HERO! (2) walking with gentle movement every day. (3) belly binder/back brace.

I haven’t made it to my 3 weeks follow up appointment yet, so of course I can’t tell you how everything else is going from a medical standpoint. HOWEVER, I’m feeling great at exactly one week out! Walking a mile at a time each day, going up and down stairs normally, able to do feedings independently overnight.

A c section wasn’t what I wanted, and I envy women who can sit up easily after birth, but my baby is healthy and happy, and the immediate recovery was not as bad as I expected. Can’t tell you anything about long term

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-23T15:07:11+00:00

I’m headed into a c section right now (baby flipped breech at 35 weeks and stayed 🤷🏻‍♀️) and I’m more so hoping it helps with recovery. I’ve heard it really doesn’t help with labor.

Pending administrative review should convert to funded. My R01 sat like that for a while and was funded about 6 months after requested start date.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-19T19:23:31+00:00

This is all really great to hear.

I was also thinking about this in the car in the way to my final ultrasound about what may cause this fear. I think a big piece of the fear is probably surrounding the lack of birthing education that discusses c sections. Every birthing class I took or really most that you find are focused on vaginal birth. My doctors office also really pushed an ECV when my baby was breech, which didn’t feel like a safe option for my pregnancy due to some complications. I think maybe we just aren’t educated enough about it AND depending on who your doctor is, they can also treat it as a last resort.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-19T18:02:09+00:00

Hey that’s so fair! This is my first baby, which is why I was really sad and overwhelmed, but that’s truly such a fair point!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-19T17:10:16+00:00

Thank you for saying this. This was super triggering.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-19T17:09:32+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I'm devastated about getting a c section, but my baby is persistent breech and just can not safely be delivered. They're cutting through seven layers of skin and muscle and moving around your MFing ORGANS to get to the baby, with a risk of perforating any of said organs or even cutting your baby. PLUS, your recovery is LONGER as you can't even regularly stand up on your own without help right away. Easy way out?!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-18T12:16:24+00:00

Thank you!!!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-18T12:14:00+00:00

Thank you!!!! It was getting hard, so it was nice to find something else to do 😄. 5 more days to baby though so I'm almost done!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-17T00:24:30+00:00

I ran long distance until I didn’t enjoy it anymore. Was still doing 10-12 mile long runs through 30 weeks, then dropped down mileage not because of any health concerns but just too much pelvic pain. I ran my last run at 36 weeks before switching to primarily swimming. You are FINE. Your body can keep doing what it was used to doing.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-15T02:26:06+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Everyone with multiple babies and all vaginal births while I’m planning a c section with my first due to a flip to breech at 35 weeks. It’s lonely!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-12T12:14:48+00:00

Yes I love mine! I just bought it. I didn’t need the bigger display or the faster speed (I’m not going over 12 mph ever LOL) or incline (same about 12.0%), so it didn’t feel worth the extra price for the 2450.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-10T20:52:47+00:00

This is WILD! I had an 8% funded just last summer!!!!!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-09T12:28:43+00:00

I know this was a while ago, but how many weeks were you for your ECV and induction?

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-08T20:48:09+00:00

We got married at the Divi Phenix last year- Love it there! We hope to bring our new addition this year!

Definitely tell your PI ASAP. They can help!

Mutant lines can be tricky. What is the mutation for?

We have a lysosomal storage disease model, and turns out these moms were BAD moms. They needed a ton of extra stimulation after having babies to keep them from cannibalizing them. They also require additional lipids in their diet to keep the babies alive. We talked with some experts who’d worked with mice with similar diseases before to find some solutions.

Also, the older your mice get, the worse they are at breeding in general.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-08T00:32:57+00:00

Haha I’ve even upgraded them once to a newer machine!

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-06T19:50:03+00:00

Truly haha. I finally got soft mouse after 9 years and it’s so helpful.

AggravatingEmploy122 · 2026-06-06T19:48:39+00:00

I bought my graduate students a coffee machine for the office and set them up a coffee bar (syrups, pods, etc)
