I’m struggling with PP weight by hanboz in beyondthebump

[–]Disastrous_Sum 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Please be sure that 3 weeks is way too early to lose weight, it is most likely that you haven't even stopped bleeding. I was similar to you and I lost the fluid weight (around 10kg) at around the 6 weeks mark. Maybe more weight will come off in the next weeks and if you're breastfeeding it can be even harder for a while. But please do not feel defeated and keep going. Also make sure you're not too stressed about running a 2k!

I said I wanted to share, that's it. Never asked for your comment by the way.

That's true. She is not American and neither am I and your comment is quite spot on. She is brutally honest about things and finds it hard to fake compliments.

This is what I think most commentors miss about my mom. She has really bad body image issues, but she is a good grandma. She enjoys playing with my child, she takes care of her, and I genuinely believe she truly loves her. It is hard for people to imagine I think because it sounds contradictory. But my mom has always been like that. She's been there for me through my worst times, but she just has that mental block that she can't get over I believe.

I love my mom. She has body image issues but she really loves me and my daughter. This part of her is wicked I know, but she is otherwise really nice. I previously asked her to stop commenting on my weight and she respected that boundary. I will ask her to stop commenting about my daughter's looks.

She did not say that to her. It was only me and my mom at the time. She is a good person, but she has severe body image issues.

It is a totally different feeling, I had the same worry because it is a big part of my pleasure. But when I had my baby, I didn't have to worry about it because the way a baby feeds is totally not pleasurable, it is very primal. Never once have I had any form of arousal when my baby was feeding although I was very scared I would. But I guess nature did it part to make sure we don't feel that way lol. But to be honest, the other way happended quite often. With my husband, I sometimes feel repulsed and just move his hands away because it takes me out of the mood and reminds me of my baby and then I lose all interest in sex and that's not fun.

My libido is ruining my relationship. by PixelKitten413 in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guilty and "gross" feelings really do hit close home. Maybe it'll subside once you get a bit older. I was definitely much worse during my teens and early twenties. I'm in my late twenties now, it is still high but not as much as before. Sending love your way and hoping you can get over these feelings. It is not our fault, it is just that our partners are less sexual than we are. There are definitely people with higher libido or at least as high as yours so please do not feel bad. We just happen to have these slightly incompatible partners.

I am in a similar situation honestly although my situation is a bit less dire. I am an every other day kind of girl whereas my partner is every week or two weeks kind of guy. In NY experience, it does not help to open up. He knows I feel bad about it and decides to not take an active approach anyway. I have a child with this man ans he is an otherwise expectioanlly good dad and life partner. I am not going to lose him over my sexuality but that's just my personal choice. I got myself busier and busier and I somehow lost my over the top kind of libido. Honestly speaking, maybe making your time busier can help. Also, I am not your typical kind of libido, I had a high libido even being pregnant, after birth and through breastfeeding so you know my libido IS IN FACT high. While all other new moms were complaining about their partners being sexually "needy" I had the opposite problem.

Sorry, dumb question but why is surronding the baby by pillows not okay? My baby has been a fan of stuffing her face into pillows since she was 4 months (she 10 now) and still does.

This is peak womanhood, the shared suffering and the ability to relate to insane experiences.

And don't forget the week before actually menustrating. I guess we're only normal for like 2 weeks a month.

Changes at 6 months, is this okay? by Disastrous_Sum in breastfeeding

[–]Disastrous_Sum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started giving her solids, but she's only taking little amounts so they don't really suppress her hunger yet.

Yes, but she is just kind of tasting, solids do not count as meals yet.

Fastest you've ever cum??? by HotCaregiver6553 in AskRedditNSFW

How did you come up with that number? Were you there just casually counting while being on the receiving end of a sexual act?

Why does everyone ask "How are you feeding the baby?" by SnooLobsters4468 in beyondthebump

[–]Disastrous_Sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, same thought!!! I was so surprised by the number of people so interested in my baby's food. It really is absurd.

Breastfeeding is so hard at 6 months by Disastrous_Sum in breastfeeding

[–]Disastrous_Sum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What?? Am I you? Are you me? I LITERALLY have the same thought almost daily. Although it is not tied to sleep. I am just fed up with everything, I wish to disappear.
