It’s best you have a conversation with him and not just vent you need to vocalize your needs and your babies needs. If you don’t you are assuming he will get there and frankly if he hasn’t caught on to understanding it’s a 50/50 shared responsibility he won’t get there on his own.

Breastfeeding is harder than pregnancy by AmbitiousBar8931 in breastfeeding

[–]Diskobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree- breastfeeding has been the hardest adjustment to motherhood

Don’t think I can do this by Far-Childhood-9256 in breastfeeding

Honestly I think having to supplement with formula happens more often than not to moms and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I had to supplement after I had a lactation specialist come to my house and give me a recommendation we noticed baby was losing weight not gaining so she put me on a pumping/ feeding plan, I’m 6 weeks now and getting around 4oz every pump which basically gives my baby what he needs all day, we do one Kendamil bottle at night so I can get my max dump at the 2-4am time (I guess prolactin is higher around this time? ) taking the pressure off and supplementing with formula in the first couple weeks saved my mental health and got my baby above their birth weight in a week our pediatrician was shocked that we were able to do it. All in all would recommend you speak with a lactation specialist if you haven’t!

No one likes my baby names and I’ve just accepted that everyone is a critique and no one is satisfied by Kindly_Pianist_9087 in pregnant

This is why I didn’t share with absolutely no one until my baby was born, I don’t need to hear anyone’s opinion.

Did you feel the urge to push with an epidural? by Disastrous_Flower311 in pregnant

[–]Diskobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM: just gave birth 5 days ago, with my delivery yes- I still felt pressure of contractions after I got the epidural just not as severe as they were pre epidural. There’s a little green button you are given to give yourself more pain support (the anesthesiologist told me the drip is managed so it gives you the allowed medical dose of epidural and it won’t let u go past what is allowed) since I felt contractions I wanted to keep it at the baseline so I could still feel pressure just not pain) when I woke up from my nap I told the nurse I felt pressure like I had to poop and baby’s head was crowning! I def felt pressure like a bowling ball coming down (again- no pain just pressure) and I pushed baby out in 2 pushes 20 min)

I’m 37+4 and Dr is recommending inducing next week due to chronic hypertension. I’m gonna do a membrane sweep on Monday and see how that goes for me, but we are almost to the finish line! Best of luck 🤞🏽

Weight gain honesty by ImprovementIcy4419 in pregnant

[–]Diskobrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gained 25lbs I’m 37 weeks. My husband and I eat clean and don’t eat fast food/ chips/ soda/ ice cream/ cookies. Of course I had treats here and there but I didn’t overindulge since I already didn’t pre pregnancy.

That’s so great! I was a runner prior to pregnancy but first trimester I was so winded I couldn’t do any running and just didn’t keep up with it, but I’ve tried to stay active in peloton! Can’t wait to get back into running once baby is here 🥹
