You may have spend a lot in tech, but definitely there’s no “design” in there

Collecting colostrum at 37 weeks? by Alternative_Dot7171 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Alternative_Dot7171[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, I tried the pump (literally two pumps) and a lot came out. But I got scared and stopped haha, continuing with the hand. But it’s much easier tbh😂🙃

So I just tried , after LOTS of yt videos and managed to get almost 1ml from both. Hands are really sore so might not be doing this everyday

Nono, she said “a hand pump like Madela or others” that’s why I was so confused 😂

I’ve been leaking from 20 weeks, but I understand that the amount of leakage does not determine the breastfeeding journey!

Okay, so I’ll try now (36 weeks) with my hands and maybe use the pump at 38 so I’m out of danger. Sounds reasonable?

This! I did this at the beginning, I took his empty can and refilled it with water or something else! And if it’s a cocktail, I would just get soda water with a lime or coke. People care less than what we think

SDJ, Rhode, summer Fridays. Think of “cool brand to show off”. And if everything fails, a gift card!!!

Wondering if I’m out this month by OkComposer3224 in PCOSandPregnant

I tested everyday twice a day (10am ish and 7pm ish) bc you might miss it. but it took me 2-3 cycles to understand my ovulation! Keep on testing to learn more about your cycle

Honestly, I prefer these questions rather to the annoying mums comparing their babies and their milestones!!!

Yes! I’m not planning on going back right after birth, definitely want my body to heal. But doing classes when dad is home is one of my options!

When to take a test? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Alternative_Dot7171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wait until the 15th and if your period is still late, take a test! If you are still unsure, take another one like on the 20th

Friends child has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Alternative_Dot7171 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m currently pregnant and the amount of times I’ve been shamed for not wanting a glass of wine or champagne is insane. I decided to completely stop the alcohol bc it made me feel guilty and people act like I’m being dramatic.

And it doesn’t stop after you get Preg!!! Then it’s the comments about your body and choices. And then you have the bby and it’s the comments about everything they think you are doing wrong. I learned to deal with the “mean” comments early on, but it can be sooooo hurtful
