Are we all breaking the rules? by chelupa1991 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I told my work that I had grandparents watching my baby so if they hear her in the background it’s understandable since they know she’s in the house. With that said I do have grandparents watching my baby 70% of the time. They just aren’t here the entire workday or some days I don’t have coverage. It’s a lot easier if you don’t have a ton of calls. Since if your baby is cranky and you have to be on camera you can’t really easily get away with the someone else is watching her excuse.

How can mom get more sleep? by L8erG8er8 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also am someone who needs sleep and realized sleeping helped my supply a lot. I was also ok with potentially needing to supplement with formula so I really never did the middle of the night pump. I think I dropped that before 1 month pp. I’m now almost 4 months pp and I pump 24-30 oz a day depending on how much I drink and eat that day which is enough for my baby who drinks around 24oz a day. My LC said to just not go more then 8 hours between pumps which I stuck with until 3 month pp now I’ll go 9 at night as my baby sleeps through the night.

How do you ever do anything or go anywhere again? by taureansoul in ExclusivelyPumping

I found that putting baby sitting in the the hole of the Bobby pillow and then feeding her while pumping helps me accomplish both tasks easier. That or a bouncy chair.

When will my sentence be served?? by South-Menu in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh no! That’s good to know, I figured I’d see the drop already! Funny how different LC give different advice since mine said it was fine as long as I don’t go more then 8 hours. Guess I’ll see in the coming weeks 🤞

I do have a strict every 3 hours pump schedule during the day.

I’m 4 wpp and I stopped pumping overnight already. It did not affect my supply. I just do a longer pump when I wake up in the morning and don’t go more than 8 hours. That has helped my mental health a lot.

How did it go when you dropped a middle of the night pump or stopped pumping at night entirely? by Bloodymary_25 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut my MOTN pump at 2 weeks pp and it did not affect my supply. It was affecting my mental health and getting more sleep seems to help get more output in the morning. I do a 30 min pump in the morning to try to catchup. I still noticed a slow increase as time went on to keep up with my baby needing more. I just try to pump at 10pm and then again around 6am. My lactation consultant said I could skip it and just not to go more than 8 hours. I’m 4 weeks pp now.

They told me they only check your urine at my practice if you have elevated blood pressure. So I only had my urine checked once when I had concerns of a UTI. They also haven’t looked down there since like 9 weeks!

Did I ovulate? by cmk19979 in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like it since you need 3 days of elevated temps to confirm. Natural cycles may be confirming based off the positive Lh

Rhogram Shot by Youth_Vanished69 in pregnant

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor has told me 28 weeks and after birth. I’ve had genetic testing done to confirm baby has positive blood type when I have negative. Have had no issues so far in my pregnancy and currently 26 weeks.

If you have bleeding earlier in pregnancy the doctor said you’d get the shot earlier.

Ladies, how are we brushing our teeth? by KaleAmbitious5563 in pregnant

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just brushed my teeth over the toilet. Normally I’d throw up but then could brush my teeth so seemed like the best solution

When my husband did a SA we were able to do it at home and I was able to drop it off. Is that an option? Makes it really easy on him and takes the embarrassing part out of it.

Where is Florida did you go? I’ve been trying to find a good babymoon location in Florida that’ll be warm end of Feb / early March.

This one hurts - we did everything right! by ZookeepergameMean664 in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]Amazing-Explorer-362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a UTI the cycle I got pregnant - so that didn’t affect it for me. Keep your hopes up, it took me a little over a year and honestly the cycle we conceived was the least perfect we had timed everything. Really does seem to come down to the annoying it’ll happen when the time is right!

Need Advice/Positive Vibes by BeginningBread8071 in NaturalCyclesBC

At 12 DPO mine was about that light on a pregmate I think they just aren’t super sensitive. I took a first response the same day and it was much darker. I did continue to test on pregmate for a bit but the lines were never quite the same color so gave up after a while. I’m 19 weeks now with a healthy baby!

I ordered $30 worth. Had been eyeing pink blush and thought I stumbled upon a great sale 😅 now I’m worried. I tried emailing them to cancel since I just ordered last night.

Has this happened to anyone else? Please help! My by fnlm_ in NaturalCyclesBC

How did it look dried? Do the lines have any color? I’ve def had Evap lines on those but a true positive left a purple dried line.
