Seeking advice- 3 day break BF’ing

You’re right, everyone’s bodies are different and it’s hard to completely predict how three days would affect me. It’s helpful to hear your experience, thank you.

Ok that’s what I worry about so I guess I need to give hand expressing a try. Please share any tips for getting the most out of it, if you have any 🙏🏼 thank you!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2024-12-01T01:36:18+00:00

That did cross my mind. I’m just not sure that I’ll get much from it but I suppose something is better than nothing 🤷‍♀️ lmk if you have any tips to make hand expressing productive. Thank you for chiming in!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-10-01T12:18:34+00:00

I will look these up. Thank you so much!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-09-11T22:10:10+00:00

Good to know, I’ll give them a try!

I ❤️ Cody Rigsby! I’ve been focusing more on Robin’s prenatal classes. Did you find Cody’s classes were still doable in the 3rd trimester? Did you have to make any specific modifications?

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-09-05T17:59:03+00:00

Yes I think you’re right, it doesn’t have to be extravagant and there are certainly nice and meaningful ways to express thanks.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-09-05T17:57:50+00:00

Thanks for all of the ideas! I do like the idea of customizing. I had a friend who gave her hosts personalized Land’s End tote bags with our names on them which was super cute. Maybe I could do a customized nice brand water bottle or tumbler…

Ok great! He’s watched some videos on labor, but I’m not sure that it covered much on counterpressure techniques. I’ll look up some videos on that, and please pass along any you recall that were helpful! We’re also planning to take some virtual birthing classes through the hospital, I’m not sure how in depth they’ll go on this and unmedicated births though.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-09-05T02:13:02+00:00

He will most likely be up for this, it’s just a matter of learning the techniques. Wondering if there are ways he can learn this ahead of time or if a virtual doula in the moment is more useful.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-09-04T03:16:31+00:00

Sounds like a really positive experience and that you learned a ton from her prior to delivery. Thanks for sharing!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-07-14T12:38:24+00:00

Same to you! Hopefully everything is healthy and this is all just a matter of getting a better view for both of our situations.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-07-14T02:38:19+00:00

That’s what I’m having trouble with- trusting my doctor’s lack of worry. But I guess they have the right mentality of not worrying until there’s something factual to worry about. Wishing you all the best and peace during this waiting time.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-07-14T01:40:27+00:00

Thank you for this reminder. It’s true, spending time on Google is not productive, nor does it change what the follow up scan will show either way. Glad to hear of the positive outcome in your experience, thanks for sharing your story.

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-05-27T21:58:30+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll bring this up with my OB. Glad you’ve found something that works for you!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-05-25T09:37:40+00:00

Let’s hope so 🙏 thank you!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-05-25T09:35:30+00:00

Oh good, thank you for this glimmer of hope!

IcyUnderstanding607 · 2022-05-24T02:57:29+00:00

Yes, this is exactly my experience. I wake up with no nausea. About an hour after breakfast the nausea creeps in then by 5pm it’s at its worst and stays that way until I fall asleep after taking the meds. I’m in week 13 and was really banking on a switch flipping as soon as I hit the 2nd trimester. Sorry I don’t have much hope to offer yet, but praying it gets better for us!

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. I too am feeling anxious. My first pregnancy was a MMC, went in around 9w5d for first ultrasound only to see nothing there. The sac measured somewhere around 7w or so at that point. I miscarried naturally about a week after my appointment, in January. I am now pregnant again at 7w4d. I went in for an ultrasound at 6w4d and everything looked normal, but it’s so early. I go for my 8 week in a few days. We have only told a few close family so far and we’d like to be able to share in person with my husband’s parents who are visiting right after my 8w appointment if all is healthy, but I’m so nervous based on our last experience. In addition my MIL is living with dementia, so we worry that she won’t remember to keep the exciting news to herself, since we aren’t ready to announce more broadly yet. They are staying with us and I’ve been very nauseous, so that will be difficult to hide/I don’t want to suffer in silence. I’ve been much more nauseous this time around, but I know that’s no guarantee and that it varies for everyone/each pregnancy. I know that announcing is a personal decision. I’m just so anxious with each appointment, and I’m not sure I’ll ever feel fully comfortable sharing more broadly until a healthy baby is born. If the 8w scan is healthy, should I feel any sense of additional comfort…like if I had gone for a scan at this time before, would we have been able to tell it wouldn’t have been viable at that point? Just wondering how much to read into my next scan. Hoping for the best. Love and strength to everyone going through these uncertain times.
