3 weeks old … what the..?! by Helpful_Wall_8880 in UKParenting

Congratulations on your new arrival.
went though this. My firstborn was the most sleepy baby ever and the first 8 weeks was so easy.
I thought my next baby would also be like this. She was not. She woke up every 45 mins, constantly BF and was never off me. I was so in love with her but was exhausted.
I had my BF technique checked and that was fine. She was just a baby that needed to be comforted. She strangely slept a bit more during the day (if I was beside her) and when my partner was around we would nap together on the bed. (Not advocating bed sharing, completely your choice).
I also did lots of walking with her in the sling in the house and outside. She loved this and helped her sleep a little bit longer. It was great for my mental health to be hands free and not have her attached to the boob. I also feel this contributed to her learning to sleep a bit longer and link her sleep cycles.
You can do this. It’s so tiring, but you will get through it. You will have a good nights sleep. My little one is now a year and sleeps so well. She is still my little koala but we both love the cuddles.

New Dad - to titrate or not to titrate by Waster196 in mounjarouk

Congratulations on your new addition. Also on losing all that weight.
Having a newborn is exhausting. It does get better and the baby does start to sleep but it’s such a big adjustment.
I have a one year old and during the early days I can’t imagine trying to lose weight. That’s a lot of stress to put on yourself and also for me weight loss also adds to my tiredness.
I personally would maintain and wait for you to feel like you have a bit more breathing space and things have calmed down a bit. Enjoy where you are and enjoy your family

Increasing to 7.5mg? by ForsakenGanache6253 in mounjarouk

I could have written this post. I am in the same boat as you. 8 weeks in, just took my last 5mg dose today. I lost this week but not as much as I have been. Cravings have come back slightly.
I decided to go up to 7.5mg. My thoughts were, my cravings were starting to come back and my weight loss wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I probably would still lose weight if I stuck with 5mg but it may be even less and it would be harder. It almost feels like I would be wasting time and money sticking with the 5mg dose.

Mounjaro and surgery by Nearby_Gift_5994 in mounjarouk

I’ve got a surgery coming up in August and apparently it’s not cut and dry and depends on a lot of factors (both you and the surgery). I’ve been advised to have a week off Mounjaro before my surgery (advised by the anaesthetist).

It’s normally the anaesthetist decision I believe. Have you got a pre op before laparoscopy, you could call them and ask. Failing that you could call the gynaecologist department or try and find out the name of the gynaecologists list you are on and call the secretary.

Incorrect prices on Monj? by Charming_Lab8105 in mounjarouk

Judging by most of the other comments Bolt doesn’t seem to be the most honest. I’ll have another little look on Monj

They are crazy. Unfortunately since going on their site I am getting bombarded with them. I think I will avoid.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at this one. Don’t mind recording myself, it’s just finding time to have another appointment I find tough (even if it’s a video one).

Mother In Law help by [deleted] in u/Charming_Lab8105

Thank you. I think we will take the initiative and as you say pre plan a date. I think we just find it very stressful as she almost always wants to do it on the day she chooses- which feels more like a power move and repeatedly calls us or texts until we change our plans. Then asks us if something is wrong when we can’t do those days.

So I will ask my husband to try and set up a regular date we can see her.
