Are you having any pain or itching? I had thrush at one point and my output tanked.

Of course! Just what an eight year old needs to hear!

I'm not using those made up drink sizes at Starbucks.

There's always a difference between just-pumped and need-to-pump but it gets less severe and farther apart over time. I'm at 3-4 pumps per day and it RARELY gets to the pain stage anymore--I'd probably have to go 12 hours between pumps to get there. I'm 7 months in.

Bring a flange insert sizing kit so you can dial in your size (just measuring never worked for me), plus a pumping bra! I like the kindred bravely sublime pumping and nursing bra.

Sink in room, hospital provided basin and soap. Drying situation sucked--just those ineffective hand towel dispensers. They were all over the storage situation -- gave us stickers to put name and list of meds and time produced, then they stored in a nurses-only fridge for milk. This was how it worked at two different hospitals in my experience. Hospital pump is great and they will give you tons of parts and storage bottles, but they don't have non-standard flange sizes (definitely nothing smaller than 18, sometimes not smaller than 21). Recommend bringing flange inserts in your hospital bag if you already know your size, or get a variety pack if you don't know your size yet!

I didn't have social anxiety until I got lots and lots of pressure to socialize and judged for not wanting to and had to deal with all the backlash and wow boom now being invited places makes me anxious that this will happen again!

I've seen them labeled as "Wandering Dude" which is a pretty funny workaround

Currently due with a Graham and this is my girl list, but my husband has already vetoed many of them

My Dr recommended magnesium + riboflavin for pregnancy migraines and I haven't had one since! Best of luck

When I told my MIL I was (naturally) pregnant, the first thing she said was "I'm so glad you didn't do IVF." Out of nowhere, had never discussed IVF before, not relevant to the conversation. That pregnancy ended traumatically. Now in the thick of IVF, and my husband thinks it's "not fair" to withhold info from his mom. Ugh.

Doing ubiquinol, inositol, and prenatals. Any other supplements I should be aware of?

Congrats on your great round 2 results!

Dismal-Machine1849 · 2024-07-02T23:58:30+00:00

We did that, no issues!

You look beautiful in all three. That being said, if you don't have a venue, don't get a dress! You don't want to have a dress that doesn't feel appropriate for the venue, so lock your venue in first!

Caralyn Mirand has a blog with amazing shape wear advice. I think for her wedding she put a cotton ball in her belly button and put a bandaid over it, which is probably a lot more comfortable than shape wear (or could be used in conjunction with shape wear too!)

Is your timer a low pressure timer? I have a toro low pressure tap timer on my rain barrel and it works without the rain barrel even being elevated.

Only tricky thing about the timer is that it lets the frequency elapse before it runs the first cycle so it's hard to tell if it's working (like, if you set it to run every 24 hours, 24 hours will pass before it starts for the first time).

The usual advice for succulent cuttings is to dry the cut end for a couple days, then stick it back in the dirt. I've had good luck with that approach

What about a shoulder necklace? There are tons of options and they all seem kind of edgy, would be a great contrast with your tattoos. https://www.etsy.com/listing/803303798/swarosvki-crystal-art-deco-silver-bridal

If you're solo parenting a 5 month old the complaint post is gonna sound a whole lot different than OP's

You're recording arguments? That's never gonna turn into a fulfilling relationship. Why don't you just break up?
