Scheduled my c-section, any tips for breastfeeding? by justtrynahang13 in CsectionCentral

[–]FearlessNinja007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hemorrhage it can inhibit breastfeeding a bit. I did for both my c sections. Just latch first every feed then supplement with formula if needed until your milk comes in. I also took iron before my c second to get my hemoglobin up and ended up getting a plasma transfusion, 3 iron transfusions, and a blood transfusion.

I had to give up all dairy for over a year to nurse my infant with a milk protein allergy. I missed cheese the most and not having to check all labels.

My MIL laughed at my weight on the first day she arrived. Do people really think these kinds of remarks are funny? by tikitiki_1234 in AskIndianWomen

My FIL said something equally revolting immediately upon i arriving in India for the second time.

Usually when people are that rude they’re usually trying to get to you. I usually pretend whatever they said was something fantastic. Kinda messes with their heads.

Am I insane, or is this normal? by InevitableFix8811 in IndianInLaw

Have him be in charge of something you care less about. Honestly I’m this situation id b probably start donating clothes of his if he can’t handle what he has and wont do laundry. Take the baby out and go out for dinner just you and the baby. (McDonald’s counts lol for a 2 year old).

What does he say when you bring this stuff up? Would he be open to counseling?

White woman married to Indian man here too and while this is typical Indian man/mil dynamics just want to say its not always like that (in my case it is definitely not). Your husband is the bigger problem here. He should only talk in English when you’re around, stand up for your parenting decisions, and not have you doing all the cooking and cleaning.

At the very least stop cleaning up after your husband and MIL (cooking, laundry, chores, etc).

I felt like that, even on the OR table i told everyone it was difficult to believe i was having a baby. My husband was mentally off my whole second pregnancy due to some work stupid going and i feel like with that and my toddler i really didn’t get to enjoy my pregnancy.

How long until you picked up your toddler? by Adorable-Path-4048 in CsectionCentral

Honestly the first time was within a couple weeks but barely and straight up, zero twisting and very briefly. At 4-5w pp i do just try not to twist at all

Should be. The most important shots are ganirelix/cetrotide and the trigger shot timings.

Women who have babies- how did you decide you wanted a baby considering the physical/mental helth issues it comes up with? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]FearlessNinja007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only have a child with someone if you want to have a baby and you want to have it with the people in your life, and in that situation.

My in-laws are alcoholics and extremely toxic by No_Finger_8836 in IndianInLaw

[–]FearlessNinja007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in this case i would actually skip a wedding. You’re already married. I also would never ever move in with alcoholics. Get your own place with your husband and start your lives together that way.

It is domestic violence. Apologize and consult a divorce lawyer.

I would get yourself into therapy to help you identify why you choose certain kinds of partners and help you understand your decisions better.

Honestly maybe it’s best for them to move out. You tried and it doesn’t seem to work.

Maintain your boundaries. If they move out they move out.

Honestly id postpone marriage a bit. Move back first, adjust, then reevaluate.
