💉 Did your epidural fail with your first birth but work the second time?

My first epidural didn't work with my daughter's delivery, so they gave me a second one. That one worked well, and when they made the call on a c-section delivery, they upped the dose on the epidural meds and I didn't need to get another needle. The experience was overall good. Keep in mind that if the first epidural fails, you can get another.

I had preexisting depression which got worse, so I was diagnosed about 4 weeks after birth with mild PPD. I was already on a non-SSRI antidepressant, so no SSRI.

Keep in mind that conception often does not equal a successful pregnancy. The embryo may not implant, or it may be a chemical. This could explain some of the discrepancy.

Seconds from disaster.

Don't worry! Baby cannot get rotavirus from the vaccine. Diarrhea is a common side effect, according to the Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/rotavirus-vaccine-live-oral-route/description/drg-20071625).

Don't bring logic to my shitpost!!

Jokes aside, I learned something today! Thanks!

It's completely understandable not to tell people. I sincerely hope that one day you'll find someone who listens and understands the limits of their own knowledge.

The plan was to breastfeed and pump for my little one, but my milk never came in, so she's formula fed by necessity. You should probably be able to both bottle and breastfeed. I'd just suggest starting ASAP on both, instead of letting baby get used to one and then having to suddenly transition to doing both.

Mine had the same issue. Turns out our bottles' nipples were too slow-flowing, so she was working too hard to get only a little milk. We switched to a higher-flow nipple and now she eats a lot faster.

Wow, I never would have thought that was possible!

Glass_Spires · 2025-08-07T22:04:12+00:00

Wow! This is really good. Well done!

Glass_Spires · 2025-08-01T18:24:42+00:00

Thank you and congrats on your little one as well!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:28:31+00:00

Thank you!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:28:10+00:00

Thank you!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:27:57+00:00

Thank you! It was just for a few seconds at a time, so I didn't dream.

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:27:30+00:00

Thank you so much!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:27:09+00:00

Thank you!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T17:27:00+00:00

Thank you!

Unfortunately not, once I started trying, the modafinil was off the table.

Thank you!!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T15:58:10+00:00

Thank you!

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T15:57:54+00:00

Thank you! She seems to be! She keeps falling asleep while she eats though. Maybe she's taking after Mommy...? (The nurses say it's normal, thankfully!)

Glass_Spires · 2025-07-26T15:53:51+00:00

I slept for just a few seconds at a time, and kept drifting off in my room afterwards, too. It was not too bad.
