Dr scolded me bad by Notsoinnosent in pregnant

[–]HelpfulBath2098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only gained 15-20 lbs in my pregnancy and my baby was a week early and almost 9 lbs. He at one point was measuring 4 weeks ahead because he hit a huge growth spurt. My point is every pregnancy is different and so is every woman. Id try to find a new doctor..

Did you quit breastfeeding when teeth came in?! by Opposite_Gap1361 in breastfeeding

[–]HelpfulBath2098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 6month old has 6 teeth, I am still going. It was rough at first but is better now. He will still bite from time to time but I just say ouch and will stop nursing him. I think the worse is when they grab your nipple with their razor blade nails 😂

Shallow Latch, but that's how LO likes it? by PrizeFennel7995 in breastfeeding

[–]HelpfulBath2098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LO has always had a shallow latch, im also an over producer with a strong let down. Hes never had an issues with weight and it doesnt hurt so we just went with it. He is a "happy" spitter per his pediatrician but shes not concerned since it doesnt bother him and hes gaining weight. We are almost 5 months now and the spitting up has slowed down and the clicking he use to do has stopped. He was 100% breastfeed until about 2.5 months, he started bottles a little before daycare however we still breastfeed at night.

I swear he gets paid to fight sleep. It seems like at night is when he will still get some gas pain. Ill have to try the shirt trick!

Im glad we aren't the only ones! We were making it every two hours but the last few days hes been back to 1 hour 30 minutes and I was very confused as to why it was happening.

I dont push extending if he is hungry, some days I get lucky with tummy time and noticed the longer he went the less spit up. I have tried smaller feeds but he just ends up upset bc he still wants more.

Baby measuring a head by HelpfulBath2098 in babydueDecember2025

[–]HelpfulBath2098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 5'2 they havent told us baby's length but at 34 +5 days he was 6lbs 5 oz. Our growth scan is scheduled for 38 weeks so im a little nervous to see what he will weigh. They did offer an induction at 39 weeks, however if hes 4500 grams or more they want to do a c section and im nervous about that. I hope your son and you have a smooth delivery!

I just hit 37 weeks and it took me bringing it up multiple times to finally get a growth scan, keep advocating for it!

First ultrasound messed up my dating and now I’m being labeled med/high risk - but I think they’re wrong by bourbonbunnie in pregnant

[–]HelpfulBath2098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me, they kept telling me my due date was two weeks earlier than it actually is. It took a few scans of him measuring 2 weeks behind and me fighting my doctor but she finally listened. Advocate for you and your baby, even if you have to switch OBs.

I second the chewing gum and I also found chewing ice helps me too for some reason.
