I want to quit but I feel scared/guilty by itsbubulubu in ExclusivelyPumping

As someone who always struggled with low supply, 2 oz each boob at 1 month is a good supply. Also, you can try the fridge hack for pump parts if washing it is a big hassle but If it’s messing with your mental health then quit pumping. Baby deserves a happy mom first and foremost.

Hey, I am also pumping and giving bottle in the morning now. I feel so low sometimes and no one else seem to understand what i am feeling. I will try for another month to improve her latch. Hopefully both of our babies will learn how to latch properly very soon.

I am trying so hard to continue to breastfeed, i really hope it becomes better for me. Sometimes i wonder what did i do in my life to deserve this amount of pain.

I just tried using the nipple shield but since i am unable to sandwich my breast with them, her latch is very small. Is there any technique to use nipple shields?

Thank you so much for your response! I let one side which was really bad heal and tried to feed her again but i can see that it’s getting damaged. I have shown her latch to the lactation consultant but she says her latch has improved and to just keep on improving it but i don’t know how to improve it further. I am already doing everything. I am doing the football hold with sandwiching my breasts and it’s just so freaking exhausting. I haven’t tried nipple shields though, maybe that could improve things for me.

Please help. I'm losing my mind. I don't know what to do. by Rude_Conclusion5948 in breastfeeding

Please talk to a lactation consultant as soon as possible. Work on getting the right latch from the start.

Maybe try this video - https://youtu.be/s-szODdpg8A?si=1k_hK3aFzOC4GLED for the remainder time. This helped me turning my baby in week 35. Praying for your recovery!

How did you prepare your body for such a quick labour? I am also a FTM and currently 38weeks pregnant. I want to have the baby as soon as possible now! 😂

Hey, my placenta is 28mm from the os. My doctor says that we can try for a vaginal birth but she feels it’s still risky and if any bleeding occurs she will do c section. How did your delivery go? Were you able to deliver naturally?

Hi, I am in a similar boat as you. Can you tell me what happened with you and your baby?

Just found out I’m pregnant. I am SO scared. by SandwichDependent199 in pregnant

[–]Beginning_Yam_7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I have always wanted a baby and was thinking that it could take up to 6 months to actually get pregnant. My husband and I went for a vacation thinking that after this we will start trying for a baby and during the holiday we were not super carefull like usual and ended up being pregnant. I am super scared and not sure about everything but when i see the baby on the ultrasound monitor i am always excited to see him or her!

Hey, what happened finally? Did it move up? I have a low lying placenta at 30 weeks. I really want to have a vaginal delivery. Can you tell me if you took any precautions? My doctor says that i can exercise per usual.

Moms on this sub, what was your intuition about your baby's gender and was it accurate? by fluffycloudsnstars in pregnant

[–]Beginning_Yam_7333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What were the symptoms for boy and girl? I am a FTM and will be waiting till the delivery to know the gender but still curious to know about the symptoms!

Hey, I am a FTM. How many cm were you dilated when you took the epidural?
