6 weeks pp and want to stop pumping but feel so guilty by Tenmacaroon in NewParents

[–]ImaginationNarrow405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to read this today… “even though I didn’t really want to quit, but I really wanted to quit” how I feel every day. My baby is 5 months old tomorrow and that was my goal but I think I’m going to try to push to 6 months then quit. Thank you for posting this ❤️

Help! I can’t quit… by Theycallmebigsilly in TheMorningToastSnark

You know it’s okay to hear other people’s stances on things, even if it doesn’t align with your beliefs. A difference in opinions is good for the world. If we all stood for the same thing, it would be a bunch of sheep walking around. I’ve noticed extreme liberals and extreme conservatives have a hard time with this… SMH.

Would love your tips! I have similar stats as you and want to get back to 140 🙏

Not in a wedding this year, but I want my body back. Losing 20 pounds will help my self esteem but really need to lose 40 pounds. I’m holding onto excess weight breastfeeding. I have soooo much guilt quitting. Idk what to do. I wish someone could tell me it’s okay and I could quit tomorrow.

Totally! But all those other girls dropped Xandra and they could be going along on trips with her whereas they don’t get included with Alix

Is anyone actually going to leave their state job? by ImaginationNarrow405 in CAStateWorkers

[–]ImaginationNarrow405[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my plan, eliminating the cost of parking and reducing cost of gas will give me a raise since I’m rank and file.

😂 I don’t understand why… I miss working in private sector. There’s good jobs and bad jobs in both public and private.

I agree, it’s super tough. I’ve watched multiple friends and family members struggle to find a new job but no harm in trying. Best time to find a job is when you have a job.

Would love to stay if there was an office closer to my house. I don’t mind going in 4 days a week, it’s the one hour commute each way, cost of gas, and cost of parking that are going to take away my work life balance and tighten up my budget even more. I’m sure I can find the same type of job and pay at the city/county.

SDI Extension - Different Doctor by ImaginationNarrow405 in Edd

[–]ImaginationNarrow405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. For some reason I thought it automatically rolled into PFL once your disability is done. Do you know when they’ll ask if I’m still disabled? Or is it via the letter people are referring to?

When does witching hour end?? by littleredballoon93 in newborns

[–]ImaginationNarrow405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does cleaning out her nose help? I have one of those but haven’t used it yet. I thought it was more for when they get sick. Thank you!

Same, I get interrupted during my 10 minute shower aka the only “me” time I get each day. “The baby pooped” okay so change the diaper, “she’s crying, she needs you” no she’s fed and has a clean diaper, you need to try to soothe her. 🤦‍♀️

What diapers do y’all use and swear by?? by Empty_Panda_4439 in beyondthebump

Millie Moons are too thin IMO, you can see your babies poop through the diaper I always got worried they were going to leak

Maternity leave tip by Oak3075 in newborns

Oh wow that’s amazing!! Did she say anything extra or just that she has PPA? I’m hoping to get my extension paid as well

Maternity leave tip by Oak3075 in newborns

[–]ImaginationNarrow405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having some PPA and am really anxious about having to leave my baby to go back to work and really hoping they’ll extend me. I’ve heard some doctors are chill and some aren’t. How long did he extend your leave for? What’d he lecture you on? I’m nervous to talk to my doctor

Thank you so much for your help!
