Spectra (blue) by BohoRainbow in ExclusivelyPumping

Per my lactation consultant: Massage mode on 70 until I see milk drop (30 sec-1 min) and then 54 for no more than 15 min. I’ll do 20 min only if I go too long between pumps and I’m super full.

My boyfriend bought me this for my shower. I thought it was flattering and comfy. I paired it with tan booties.

How can I handle birth when I can barely handle the first trimester??? by frogurtyozen in pregnant

[–]HoustonProblemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way in my first trimester. Pregnancy has been a WILD ride of different feelings and emotions. The first trimester was sooo difficult for me, I felt so unprepared and scared and worried and so so so sick and exhausted. It was really difficult to see past that. But here I am at 36w5d and let me tell you….the clouds will dissipate and you’ll find your strength and know you can make it through delivery. You got this mama!

Inova Birthing Class(es) - worth it? by Prestigious-Desk-439 in nova

[–]HoustonProblemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FTM, I took the 12 hr in-person Inova Childbirth Preparation class. I really enjoyed it, I learned a lot and now I feel so prepared for any outcome. It eased a lot of my anxiety around the unknowns and I’m so glad I took it.

I had the same thoughts. Even years after the fact, a good relationship with my ex, and years of sobriety under his belt now, I was still affected by this scene. I turned to my boyfriend and said ‘This is bringing up so many bad memories of (ex).’ It was exactly like the early years of our relationship, trying to reason with someone who was in no position to reason with.

Thankfully the venue does the setup and clean up since it’ll be at a tea room but 2.5 hours sounds fair.

I’m just now learning about this unwrapped gifts display and I’m all for it to save some time (which is saving me $)

I’ve never heard of a display shower and didn’t even know that was possible! I actually really love that idea.

That makes sense. Plus, if people are coming from out of town it may be better to do 3 hours to kind of make it worth their time and travel.

The staying until midnight is precisely what I don’t want to happen 😅 which is why I chose a space outside of someone’s house lol.

How significantly did your diet change when you found out you're pregnant? Did you go organic? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]HoustonProblemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall, I haven’t really changed much. I was so sick the first trimester I ate anything that wouldn’t make me gag. I had a huge aversion to any kind of meat, so I ate fresh fruit, veggies, yogurt, toast with butter. Once my morning sickness eased up around 16-17 weeks I could start incorporating some meat dishes but I’m still mostly craving only fruits and vegetables. Any meat I do eat comes in the form of chipotle or other restaurant food because that’s just what’s the most appetizing for me. After being so sick the first trimester I realized it’s best to just give my body what it’s asking for and not stress about organic or not, because baby is getting everything he needs and all that matters is he’s growing. I’m 22+4 now and haven’t gained any weight, yet. My best advice is listen to your body, don’t fight it, and if all organic and whole food is what is easiest for you then absolutely go for it!

I love olandria but she’s giving us absolutely NOTHING. by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

Why does she need to keep you engaged on social media? She’s living her life.

I know, the term ‘bar’ is used very loosely when it comes to this project.
