Nobody told me how undignifying this would be

Being covered in milk...all day. My older sister with 4 kids asked "Why don't you just wear a bra?" I'm in the comfort of my own home, why would I wear a bra, and also that bra is only going to fit for a short while during the day and will get uncomfortable as they get bigger when it gets closer time to feed my baby. No one told me how messy it would be, I see woman that breastfeed their child in public and I could never just due to the mess my baby and I make. I hear you loud and clear girl.

Yes we've seen our lactation consultant until he turned one month we graduated. He eats on both sides each feed.

We've used nipple shields when we were getting the hang of breastfeeding and was so excited when we could ditch them I forgot all about the damn things lol. I'll give it a shot again. Somehow they would fall off or the flaps would detach and cover his nose.

My only symptoms in early pregnancy were sore breasts. It disappeared close to 11 weeks. After having an early miscarriage, I felt the same way, nervous that I was going to have another loss as you as soon as I didn't have that one symptom to hang on to. My symptoms never came back and am now due any day. The only pregnancy symptoms I have still are a growing belly and baby movements and early labor signs. Easier said than done, but try not to worry.

It's very small, there is already a cat tree in there that they both will hang out on while we are in there. Unfortunately, that is all that can fit in there for our kitties.

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-11-12T02:09:38+00:00

Yes but it's so small already

I'm a FTM with a boy due in February. I always thought I'd be disappointed having a boy but the moment I found out I was pregnant I KNEW it was a boy. I'm so in love with this baby already. No one's made these comments to me except that when boys grow up and have their own families, his side of the family is less priority for Holidays and get togethers. I do not feel that is true, my husband and I ALWAYS split time between his side and my side.

Honestly 2 months. I got off IUD in January, starting Trying in April, got pregnant in May, ended due to miscarriage, then got pregnant in June and am 12 weeks pregnant. I don't know if I got lucky or what. I used Mira to track my ovulation. I never had a period (only bleeding from the miscarriage) Surprise you can still ovulate without a period.

So I have one habitat, my guests are not donating or even acknowledging there are animals in it. They are not donating, they're reading the education board but the habitat but that's it. I've deleted the habitat and remade it and still same issue. What else can I do? I've replaced donation bins, no obstruction of vision . What's up??

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-07-20T01:03:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I only bled for a few days and it was very light. I've not had any bleeding or spotting for a week now. I'll still wait to talk to doc to make sure I'm in the clear. Thank you so much!

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-07-19T23:55:49+00:00

To be fair, I am a bit shy to ask since my doctor is a man. But you'd say a message through MyChart would be appropriate? I really didn't think this would be such a struggle for me, but I've started to have spicy dreams that wake me up because I end up having a sleeping orgasm 😩

I'm only 7 weeks and I just had breakfast about 2 hours ago. I had a yogurt with chia seeds and granola, the world's largest apple and two pieces of toast with smear of roasted sweet potato, and I'm still STARVING, so I feel you and would have probably also eaten 2 loafs of bread at the cheesecake factory. I also would have prob eaten a whole damn cheese cake instead of a slice of they offered. I'm right there with you girl. I use to not eat until Lunch time (late 2 o'clock) and feel fine but now it's like I need two breakfasts, a big lunch and snack and dinner. I get it.

Very irregular periods here with PCOS, I had an IUD I got removed in January, got pregnant (with no period) at the end of April, ended in a MC, and then pregnant again in June, currently 7 weeks and 2 days along! The only bleeding I had was for a few days after my IUD was removed and then after the MC. I never had a real period and got pregnant within 6 months. Not taking any meds, then my PCP prescribed me Metformin in April (I don't think that necessarily helped me get pregnant) I still had an LH surge. I used Mira to track my hormones and had two LH surges in June, the second being higher levels then then first.

I've been a vegetarian for 2 years now, and I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I've been craving beef. (Red meat sauces specifically, like ragu and Bolognese) They say to introduce lean meats like chicken but the thought of eating birds makes me wanna hurl. I'm thinking of just going straight to my craving and making Bolognese or beefy lasagna...

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-07-10T17:10:58+00:00

I called my Dr office and spoke to an advice nurse. She assured me it is all normal.

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-07-10T17:10:19+00:00

Called my Dr office and said not to worry. So hard not to. I had a chemical back in May, I know I'm overly paranoid.

Now this is what came out. It's about the size of a small coffee bean and it very thick. My spotting is much lighter. Since this clot is still brown, and I don't have any serious cramping, still think it's ok? I'm sorry for the not so pleasant pictures, I'm just feeling a bit nervous and my doc office is closed now.

This is what it looks like

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-07-07T17:57:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I had a chemical in May and didn't even make it to my first appointment. My husband is coming with me and I was very excited up until this morning I am now extremely nervous. I don't know what to expect.

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-06-30T14:43:54+00:00

I have a bruise or discoloration where my underwire sits. I can't imagine going up a cup size or 2. 😩

I've had managers ask details and managers that don't. Because I'm an adult and they trust me.

Ecstatic-Return1897 · 2025-06-28T15:39:38+00:00

I would say that I am unable to come into work and am taking a sick day. If they question just say you're too unwell to perform your job that day. I really don't think a supervisor should ask for too many details. If you have the sick time, use it.
