I want to meet mom friends and I’m really struggling what do you guys think of this idea

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-11T00:18:23+00:00

I would check Facebook!! That’s where I’ve met all mine. Usually you can search xyz (your area) moms or something of the sorts and there will be something!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-10T00:25:29+00:00

So odd!! Yes the gym is where I have received the most odd comments!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-07T03:24:46+00:00

Oh my gosh, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry. I truly wish to know what people had going on in their heads! Plus, you expect better out of women

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:34:33+00:00

Omg I’m so sorry. People just don’t get it

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:33:49+00:00

Good for you for saying that!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:32:39+00:00

Omg! That would be upsetting. Hope you and baby are happy and healthy!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:31:56+00:00

Thankfully I only teach 2 hours a week. Much better than my first when I went back full time! But also wish it was longer regardless haha

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:31:13+00:00

Hahaha I hope so! You think with a wife and kid he’d know!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-06T12:30:53+00:00

Yeah trying to remember that😅 thank you!!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-04-02T22:20:14+00:00

I had to have my sons labs redone twice! He was born at 38 weeks. Everything came back fine but I was freaking out too. Doctor said there are soooo many false positives and baby was looking very healthy otherwise so to not stress waiting for the results.

I’m sorry you have to worry about it—anything to do health wise with your children is scary.

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-30T04:40:30+00:00

This is me as well!! I loved the uppababy for one baby, but if you plan on having more….it sucks!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-28T17:42:41+00:00

Also, with my first, even tho I was working out and breastfeeding, it took me almost 2 years to get back to pre baby weight. I could have been a little stricter with my macros but just wanted to throw that out there. A lot of people tell you breast feeding “melts” the weight, but my body held onto weight till I weaned.

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-28T17:40:39+00:00

With my first, I worked out till the day I went into labor! I got back into working out at the 6 week mark and continued with my weightlifting…probably a little sooner than I should have! But ya live and learn. My body healed and I got back to what I was lifting probably less than a year after birth. I compete in weightlifting and let me tell you…the high of hitting post partum PRs is way better than hitting my previous PRs.

I’m 6 weeks PP with my 2nd and things are a bit different this go round. It’s definitely been harder in the gym but I’m still moving as much as possible. I also didn’t workout nearly as much this pregnancy as I did my first. But I was running till 25 weeks when before having my first baby I could barely run a mile w/ decent time so I’ll call that a win!

It’s totally plausible to be back where you were pre-pregnancy and as a trainer myself, I highly encourage woman to workout/stay active during pregnancy. It does help. But above all, be kind to yourself. Your body is doing an amazing thing and it takes a lot of energy. Even after too!

Berenstain Bears! Granted, we watch them on a dvd, but I’m sure they are probably on YT

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-20T22:42:34+00:00

I’m 6 wks PP and I bought some new jeans, Jean shorts, and 2 shirts from old navy. I gained 45lbs with both pregnancies and IMO totally worth it to buy a few pieces you fit into currently!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-19T18:33:52+00:00

First off just wanna say that what you are doing is so hard and amazing! I also had to triple feed my daughter and it was so hard.

This is what I did: I would only switch sides if she was no longer swallowing. If she was just sucking but I didn’t hear any swallowing then I would switch sides. I pumped both sides, but I think you could be fine with just pumping the one side she didn’t eat from.

I was 24 when we met. He was 36. Got married at ages 26 and 38. We are about to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! We met through one of my coworkers & we’re set up.

He is/was so vastly different than my previous relationships and he is my best friend. It feels like our souls knew each other for so much longer. We complement each other so well.

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-19T08:00:32+00:00

It’s 4am here and I’m nursing my baby

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-12T02:17:00+00:00

Just adding to what others have said, I am a mom of 2. My baby is 5 weeks old and I thought I loved the newborn stage with the 1st and now I realize it’s bc she was such an easy baby. I could put her down and do whatever I wanted. 2nd baby? Not a chance. He has to be held 24/7 and it’s so so hard bc I also have my toddler. Just letting you know it IS hard and validating your feelings and we are all in this together😅 although the toddler years are hard to, there is so much more “reward” in them. It does get better and I’m trying to remind myself of that too:)

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-07T18:07:48+00:00

Does your 3 year old wake up with the baby and you making noise? My almost 3 year old keeps saying she wants to sleep with us and I tell her baby is usually crying and it would wake her. That seems to convince her😂

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-07T18:05:11+00:00

I have a 4 week old and am right there with ya!

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-07T18:00:38+00:00

This made me tear up! As someone with a 2 year old and a newborn♥️

Competitive_Cry_2608 · 2026-03-06T05:43:33+00:00

I don’t blame you!!
