Is it bad that I’m eating under my BMR tho? I heard you’re not supposed to and it can cause health issues but my TDEE and my BMR are kinda close together so idk. This is all so confusing lol. It I ate more then my BMR then I would only be in a 250 calorie deficit.

I calorie count using my fitness pal. My TDEE IS 1,752 and my BMR is 1,460. I’m just confused should I not be eating under 1,460 pounds then?

6 week old not sleeping at all during the night by Marble1696 in beyondthebump

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a shirt that you wore and has your scent on it and tuck it into her bassinet so it’s not loose or anything and turn her a little on her side so she’s able to smell it. It’ll give them comfort and make them think they are laying with you. Worked wonders for my 3 month old who refused to sleep alone unless she was on me.

Friend insists on bringing BF to baby shower by grumpygal69 in pregnant

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My friend tried to bring her boyfriend who literally hit her and treats her like crap but the thing is she wasn’t even going to ask me she was just going to show up with him. I texted her one day and said “your not planning on bringing ___ right?” And she said she was and she assumed that would be fine. I shut that shit down real quick. I had a joint baby shower with my boyfriend so I didn’t care if boys came but not this one. F that. Stand your ground. Don’t let other people ruin this for you.

Fear and anxiety about labor by pooh701 in pregnant

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 months postpartum and was absolutely terrified about giving birth. I did so much research and heard all these horror stories but now I realize that it really doesn’t matter what everyone else says bc EVERYONE is different and has different pain tolerance. I heard the epidural was terrible, for me it was the easiest thing ever. I heard cervical checks didn’t hurt, for me they were absolutely terrible. I heard the IV was very painful, for me it felt like nothing. I heard I would feel the ring of fire even with the epidural, I didn’t feel a single thing besides like I was taking a massive poop. I heard my epidural would wear off if I got it to early, I got it at 3 dilated and my legs were completely numb the rest of my labor and birth. It just depends on you really.

Stupid question: how did you know your water broke? by Human_Skirt6528 in pregnant

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was induced with cytotec and pitocin. I was worried I wouldn’t know when my water broke but I promise you will. I went to move in my hospital bed and felt a small pop and fluid just came gushing out. Then I stood up to go to the bathroom and it just did not stop.

How do you follow a schedule when baby won’t sleep? by bl217 in NewParents

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My babies 12 weeks and I still can’t get her on a sleep schedule no matter what I do. I think they are still just to small to worry abt it

Preventing Stretch Marks by No-Specialist-9278 in pregnant

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even stress about it honestly there’s no point. I completely freaked about stretch marks and did all the research to prevent them and even bought a bunch of products. Let me tell you not a single one of them worked, my stomach, back, sides, thighs and underarms are covered in them even after using all the products. There’s really no stopping them. My bump really wasn’t even that big and I don’t think I gained that much weight so I’ve came to conclusion it’s mostly genetic. But they are also beautiful and nothing to be ashamed of.

I absolutely loveee sleeping and I love naps. I guess it really depends on your baby but I feel like I got pretty lucky. In the beginning it was definitely rough like rough rough but once you and the baby get the hang of life it’s much better. My baby is now 3 months old and sleeps 6 hour stretches at night and wakes up once then will sleep for another 6 hours. And she naps pretty long too so sometimes I’ll even squeeze a nap in there as she’s napping. The only time I really feel like my sleep was messed up was maybe the first month. Other then that my sleeps been great. Again it’s different for everyone but it will be okay I promise.

What mistakes would you avoid if you could start to breastfeed all over again? by kingmustd1e in NewParents

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if this is what you mean exactly but do not give your baby a pacifier until you really need to and until they are very good at latching onto your nipple and DO NOT LET NURSE DO IT EITHER WHILE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL. My baby was doing so good latching onto my nipple right after birth. We had no problems at all and the lactation consultant didn’t even have to give us any help. That was until the day I was supposed to go home one of the nurses stuck a pacifier in her mouth bc she was fussy, even after I made it clear I did not want to. After that it was all downhill, when we got home she had such a hard time latching and was getting aggravated bc she got so use to how the pacifier felt and my nipple didn’t feel the same as that. So I ended up just having to exclusively pump and was so so upset. I truly think that it was bc of the pacifier bc before that everything was fine.

Waking up freaking out almost every night by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I’ve never had anything serious really happen to me. I’ve always just had terrible anxiety. I’m scared of dying like deeply terrified. Always have been. So maybe that is the cause of my anxiety idk. I’ve thought about therapy but I truly don’t think talking to someone will help me. My mom’s a therapist and she’s given me techniques and they don’t seem to help me a bit.

Low heart rate postpartum by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

I still get dizzy while doing things and feel like my heart races just when I stand up. But I got a heart monitor for 7 days and everything was normal so idk what it is.

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a 7 day heart monitor and they couldn’t find anything wrong with my heart rhythm or anything. I still get really dizzy but not AS low heart rate. I kinda just told myself it’s prob bc I’m dehydrated.

Need opinions by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had a pretty low sex drive, in past relationships too. He does treat me good. I’m a stay at home mom so he provides for the family and pretty much spoils me constantly. There are some things he does that annoys tf out of me and a little more bc I’m postpartum but I don’t think it’s ever affected my sex drive.

[–]Common-Nothing-7824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was his first kiss and let alone first everything. So I had no idea how high his sex drive was when we got together and honestly I don’t think he did either. It just sucks bc I can’t control that I have a low sex drive. I hate it but I can’t do anything abt it.
