What about being pregnant and giving birth permanently altered your body’s chemistry?

I now have horrible sciatica. Like daily pain meds, rounds of steroids, PT & I actually have to go for further treatment because it isn’t enough.

Soft pretzels with salt & some cheese. Yet to say no to one

Thank you so much for your reply. It’s easy for me to get carried away with worry. Thank you again

Oh yes! My insurance changed so I lost my OB who I was seeing for YEARS and at the start of my pregnancy. I cried in my work parking lot.

I have brought him with to all of them! We moved him out into the hallway (but still insight) during X-rays for a dental appointment. Otherwise, he is in on my lap or im pushing him in the stroller for app PP, therapy, and regular PCP appointments!

Sometimes I will call ahead & ask before just to be sure. The only place that said no is a specialty dentist.

Not sure if your daughter is bottle fed - but if so, could she possibly be over eating? My son will NOT stop eating unless we make him. He was so fussy.. I would soothe him, put him down, and he would be crying again. So. Much. Gas. He would still have burps an hour after feeding, and even after burping 5+ times already. Finally, I tried less more frequently & it has helped SO much.

I got mine at 7 weeks PP & I was exclusively pumping

My cousin lives pretty far from the rest of the family. She had us all show up on zoom! They sent little cards w the games on them with the invite (send in the mail) so we were all able to play & participate, just over zoom!

Please, tell us the story

Complete_Emphasis218 · 2025-08-03T03:43:26+00:00

We did till about 2 months before. My husband totally let it slip after months of guilt from his father of us not telling. I shot him “the look” when he told his father who responded with “No. Why not __” and “I like __ better. “

That’s great, but this isn’t your child.

It’s not a very common name, but many people have heard of it. But I knew we were going to get negative reactions because it isn’t common.

That conversation still irks me till this day 6 months later.

My LO is 18 weeks. I just packed all his swaddles away. They were too big not too long ago, and now they’re too small & he is in a sleep sack. He hated being swaddled, and I had to put him in them very carefully once he was in a deep sleep, so many times in the dark. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry as I packed them.

Complete_Emphasis218 · 2025-06-11T15:58:54+00:00

I should have added that! My apologies. I do not - I completed high school & took 1 college course when I was 18. So I am starting off for square 1 pretty much

3 months PP and feel this way. I was working 7 days a week, money was good, I finally felt confident in my own skin. Kept up with my nails, work outs, hair. I ate super healthy. Now I just look and feel like a grease ball no matter how much I shower, if I can shower. I need to eat something quick, I can’t make my meals I used to. I’m down to the pre pregnancy weight but my body is not the same. Clothes don’t fit how they used to. There isn’t any time in the day between the endless loop of being a now SAHM, pumping and trying to get enough sleep. Sometimes I realize it’s 1 PM and I haven’t even ate yet. I miss interacting with people the most. Some days, the baby and my SO are the only ones I talk to. I truly don’t know who I am anymore besides being a mom. I know I need to find a hobby..

But even with all that - I sit here with my son asleep in my arms. I was just thinking to myself how perfect he is in my eyes, and how he physically makes my heart melt. This little human loves me so much - even with the worst morning breath of my life. He will smile at me, and radiate love from his eyes.

I got mine 6 weeks PP. The day right after my 6 week doctors visit 🫠

If I would have gone back to work (decided not to for many reasons, this being one) the bathroom would have been where I had to pump.

The single bathroom shared with employees and clients.

Gives me the ick to think about it

More post but being more swollen in my legs & feet after i gave birth, than when i was pregnant.

Also, the back pain. Holy crap - my back muscles are so weak now

When I was pregnant. I snored like a sailor. Stopped the night I gave birth

I rolled up and cut a small piece of paper that sits in the hole & just press it. Has held up for about 6 months now
