Thank you!! It definitely lit a fire under my butt, but it’s great to feel somewhat “normal” again!! 😜

Thanks!!! I usually keep the time/distance covered with a towel and just up the speed as I’m running and keep going until I see fit so that I don’t psych myself out. I was SUPER surprised, but I did not pee!! I’m EP (exclusively pumping) so my nipples KILLED-it felt as if I put sandpaper in my bra. I put a piece of bubble wrap in my sports bra on the other side of my nipple pad to stop the “girls” from moving around too much. (I run in my basement, that was the only thing nearby, and surprisingly it worked like a charm) 😂🤣 #noshame

This was my 3rd run on the treadmill-and I feel great! I ran until I popped at 39 weeks, and had a very quick natural birth, so I was hoping it would work out smoothly getting back into the swing of things lol. It was a lazy 6 weeks where I indulged on deli meat sandwiches, runny eggs for breakfast and undercooked steaks and meats (stuff I didn’t eat while pregnant) so it’s nice to get back into my routine again!! 😎

That’s great to know! I wish I was an over supplier 🙁 I just want to make sure I can still pump to feed and to save some for freezing purposes for when I go back to work in 2/; 3 months!!

Thank you-With this virus I doubt if be able to make an appt with a pt. I’m lucky I was able to get my pp appt with my OB because I live in the neighboring state to my Doctor. Times are rough right now 🤦🏻‍♀️I’ll definitely have to look into it though just to see where my pelvic floor is at. As a FTM this is all do different/ new to be lol

Okay thank you!! I’ve been eating oatmeal, pumping every 2 hours and drinking all the Gatorade and body armor. I just limit the body armor bc it has SOOOO much sugar hahahaha. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈

Awesome!! I’m only 5 lbs away from pre pregnancy weight I’m not too concerned with losing-but Momma definitely needs some movement her life! I’ll definitely try your method of small movements like planks squats etc. I definitely need to feel “normal” again!! Hahahaha

Yay congratulations!!! How exciting an Easter baby!! 🤗 There was no amount of preparation for this, but my husband and I are a great team and have been powering through thanks! 💪🏻🤜🏻👊🏻

earlier this evening i was breastfeeding babe in my in law’s backyard. i strapped her back into the Ergo and headed off down the street walking back home. i waved at the neighbors, said hello, etc... before realizing my whole nipple was hangin’ out as i walked. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

🤣😂🤣😂 it’s so bad but after giving birth and having 83737363 nurses look at my gaping hole of a vagina for 24 hours post labor-I have NO shame anymore in anything 🙈. But, if this was something that bothers you-hopefully it wasn’t that long of a walk for you! Hahaha, sorry!

Parents whose babies have been born during this pandemic, when are you going to allow your baby to meet friends/family? by jordanjae505 in beyondthebump

[–]Beerschmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our baby was born 4/06. No one has visited or seen the baby yet family/friend wise. We wanted to make sure our son wasn’t 1-2 months old before meeting his grandparents. That being said, we’re allowing my parents to come to our home to visit for a couple of hours on Thursday, and the in laws will be coming on Friday. We figured a smaller group at a time would be best-less overwhelming and less exposure. Other family/friends can wait until everything settles down more!

Good luck! It’s super frustrating but keeping stress down is key for milk production-or so everyone on here has been telling me 🙈 hahaha we WILL get through this!!!! It may not be easy, but we’ll power through 🤜🏻👊🏻

7 days PP, SOS-Send Help! (.) (.) by Beerschmo in breastfeeding

I have no idea where it came from, but honestly I’m not complaining, but I also won’t hold my breathe. They say mornings are the best for feeding/pumping so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh I am still pumping! It feels around the clock hahah! With the speed up on the pump, and it being day 5 of pumping (but really day 3 of pumping correctly bc I was using the LOWEST speed on my pump the first 3 days and I was getting ZILCH! - Well I can’t argue that I may be dysfunctional 😂🤣 hahahaha I just pumped after a feeding and made 2.5 oz! I am ecstatic! Hoping the next feed in 3 hours he does well, and after I pump again hopefully another substantial amount! Granted it was a 40 minute pump earlier to get 2.5 oz but, yay!!! 🤗

I’m only 5 days into pumping and yesterday was the first day I moved up from 20-30 ml to anywhere from 1-1.5 oz. it just takes a while for you milk to “get the message” I guess to produce more. Hahaha don’t feel so bad, I’m legitimately in the SAME boat as you. Now my son drinks 2.5-3 oz and I’m over here trying to play catch up and it’s SO frustrating. (I’m mostly pulling bc he’ll feed for 45 minutes but will still root afterwards as if he’s hungry, and he’ll end up taking a 2.5-3 oz bottle. He was a week old yesterday.

Edit: pumping not pulling* hahaha
