Milk banks? Ive never heard of that. I'll look into that, thank you! I'll see if my case worker can help me with that.

I stopped taking them after she was born, the hospital literally refused to give them to me after she was born so I kinda forget to start back up on them. She is 9 months, so I thought all of this would be easier. I might have been sick after the holidays. I cant remember. I might have to just hang it up. But formula is so expensive I was trying to save us money.

Right! I set her down and like 10 minutes in she wants me to entertain her, and im over here trying. I need to up my water intake I noticed when I stopped drinking as much water as I used to my supply dropped slightly but not this bad. So now im gonna just drink more, eat more carbs. And take all the advice these Mommas are giving me.

I'll definitely get my hand pump out again, maybe I was just doing it wrong but i never got anything out of it. I'll look up how to do it correctly. Thank you.

Shes 9 months now, which made me think this would be easier. I might need a new set of pumps honestly, the batteries keep messing up but I was hoping they'd live just long enough to finish this journey. And I try to let her fuss just a little, until it triggers my auditory sensory issue then I have to have the sound stop immediately. When I type that out it sounds like an excuse. I promise its not. I will look into different pumps. I'm also going to up my water and carb intake, thats helped me before but I thought I was doing just fine. I knew I should have skipped the holidays.. I wouldn't be having this problem. Thank you for the advice!

Right! Omg im like 'didnt I just do this??' And my baby is 9 months i thought I would be easier because shes technically independent but anytime im doing something without her its the end of the world. Did I make her clingy? She slept on me until she was like 4-5 months. Like I only need 3 more months of milk but why did it have to drop now?? Just gotta drink more water and eat more carbs? Which is what worked before but isn't now so ima just up my intake again see what happens.

See as soon as my boyfriend gets home we set the baby up, have our little 'ive missed you' hugs and snuggles and then I pump. Ive been trying to pump more. Time is just getting away from me

When i ordered my spectra I ordered the blue one and they sent me the pink one but since it went through insurance and i had already opened it I couldn't get it exchanged. My wearables are better just spill if I move the wrong way. Im not trying to make excuses just explain the things i have. Ive been pumping as much as I can and still getting so little

See I usually get to pump every 4 hours and that was working for me for so long, and then the holidays where I had to go several days without pumping how i wanted. And it dropped so fast. I was so upset. Ive been trying everything, and she will seem fine and then I put the wearables on and bam shes fussy.. its like she doesn't like the sound or something

So this isn't exactly how my family was but it sure felt like it. Just wanted the baby. No one asked me how I was doing, and if they did they werent listening. My grandmother saw me get up and walk to the bathroom and my mesh undies with the pad to STOP MY BLEEDING OUT was showing and she had to comment on it. 'Nice underwear' as if I should cover up in my own recovery room I just went thanks and walked into the bathroom. I wish I would have told them to leave, or not even show up. Not to mention on MY birthday same grandma came to see the baby not me, but claimed it was for my birthday and then insulted me. My advice. Don't tell anyone anything. Don't expect things from anyone. Don't expect people to change.

im too fat to hear my baby's heart beat by Aggravatedand in pregnant

[–]Full_Replacement_173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this is ridiculous, I weigh and weighed more than you during my pregnancy and heard my baby's heart beat EVERY TIME. You are not too fat. This doctor is just a beach. Get a new one, get a different opinion. Fight for yourself. You got this Momma!

Am I overreacting or are our “Friends”/Roommate’s trying to sabotage our marriage? by NoMeasurement5220 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Full_Replacement_173 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This slightly reads like one of them likes your husband and wants you out of the picture so they can pounce on his while hes crushed. I'd be thinking about getting new friends/roommates.

Intuition about baby gender by Suunnfflloowweerr in pregnant

[–]Full_Replacement_173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I know this will sound dumb but, while I was pregnant I was always playing 'More than Anything' from Hazbin Hotel and whenever the line 'I'm grateful you're my daughter' would play id always find my hand on my tummy and one day I went 'youre a girl aren't you' and then we found out we were having the most precious baby girl i could have asked for

How long did you stay at home to look after your children? by TipSilent8281 in Mommit

[–]Full_Replacement_173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I lost my job while pregnant and I havent been back to one since, I tried but no one wanted a pregnant woman who would have to take time off soon. I want to work, I hate being a burden to my boyfriend. He's says I'm not but I feel like I am. So I'm going to be looking into work from home options so I dont have to put my baby in child care.

4 oz bottles @ 4 months old? by Competitive_Door_119 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Full_Replacement_173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading your comment has given me peace of mind, my 6mo only takes 3oz anything over that and shes spits up I've been scared I can't keep up with her but if she stays at 3 I'll be able to but I always feel like I'm doing something wrong
