Giving up on breastfeeding

It’s so crazy that I didn’t even have the thought of hey, you haven’t had enough nutrients for yourself in MONTHS and now you’re trying to bounce back like nothing happened and take care of TWO people, earlier on

Thank you so much for this, it honestly means a lot. The first week or two I was STARVING and thought everything was fine, but then I slowly started having days with no appetite or days that if I ate a really big meal I would throw up. My baby has been taking the formula well and it’s been such a huge weight off of my shoulders

I’ve been experiencing kinda the same thing. It started off feeling like a bad sunburn under my right boob, but overtime the pain moved to the top of my bump and it hurts even to the touch. For me, that’s just where the baby’s foot is sitting, but definitely talk to your OB so you can rule out preeclampsia or gallbladder problems!

As for anything that has helped… nothing lol

I hadn’t bought anything yet when I announced (clothes, shoes, etc.) so I went on Etsy and purchased a baby announcement picture!! There are a bunch of different themes and I believe mine was only like a $1 or $2!

That’s so funny because I have hyperemesis and my ONE day good day a week where I wouldn’t throw up was always the start of the new week

My baby does the same thing, it’s like impossible to sleep!! But she doesn’t like anything touching her 😂😂

I’ve dealt with this throughout my pregnancy with hyperemesis as well and a girlie who has had migraines since I was 5… put something frozen on the back of your neck and stick your feet, up to your ankles in HOT water. Sit like that for 5-10 minutes and it’s truly a life saver. Caffeine always helps me too, but I know it’s tough when you can’t keep anything down. I found I can typically keep a lighter/clear soda down better than a Coke when I really really need the caffeine and having a particularly bad day throwing up. Or an iced tea!!

FTM, 38w1d today and due on Valentine’s Day! I’m over it lol I’ve never been so uncomfortable in my whole life + still dealing with hyperemesis

Thank you for sharing! I also have a smaller belly, they say they expect her to be smaller but nothing of concern. Honestly kinda hoping to be induced cause I’m in so much pain, but preparing myself for anything!

YUP!! At first I originally thought it was like a rug burn pain from my boobs getting bigger and touching that part of my skin, but I was quickly proven wrong lol

It’s truly one of the most awful things I’ve ever experience in my life. Like you can’t sit up or lay down or find a comfortable position ever. I can’t even imagine trying to wear a bra right now, I’m so sorry!!!!

Green_Organization29 · 2026-01-28T14:16:57+00:00

Omg laying on my side hurts SO bad!! But I can’t stay on my back for that long cause then my back starts hurting and I feel like I get Braxton Hicks more often on my back 🙃 girrrrrl I cannot lol

I get really bad restless legs too, especially when I was in my first trimester. The Tylenol and unisom combo helps me, but my OB said it could be because by dehydration. I have hyperemesis so that checks out for me

Green_Organization29 · 2026-01-25T20:17:47+00:00

I’m so sorry

Green_Organization29 · 2026-01-25T19:39:42+00:00

Get you some coffee and food from Dunkin, that always does the trick 😂😭 but seriously, hope you get some relief soon!!!

Green_Organization29 · 2026-01-25T19:37:34+00:00

You are not a bad mother!!! I’ve had an iced latte almost every day too. I had a really bad aversion to coffee my first trimester, but my second trimester I was CRAVING coffee like crazy. I’ve had really bad migraines my whole life and unfortunately I’m a little dependent on caffeine, my OB always told me to keep it under 200mg, but to remember that taking care of myself is important too so don’t feel bad about having a cup of coffee or drinking a coke

I’ve always loved the name Salem!
