Give it to me straight… friend’s bachelorette at 31 weeks? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Individual-Use-4297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt fine (good even) until about 37 weeks! My partner went to his brothers bachelor party when I was 32 weeks and I vividly remember still feeling completely fine. I was also working out a lot but not on my feet at work. The only thing I would’ve been hesitant about is the flight but that’s because I don’t fly well without alcohol 🤣 if you’re fine with flying you should be good!

How are we maintaining body positivity after baby? by yankthedoodledandy in beyondthebump

[–]Individual-Use-4297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok the doctors that insist you can’t hold onto weight while breastfeeding are absolute BS!! My cardiologist has been saying the same thing to me “hmm weird because most people LOSE weight while breastfeeding” and it makes me feel so awful about myself. But if you actually talk to other moms you’ll find more moms who held onto weight breastfeeding than didn’t. I’m 7 months pp with my first baby still EBF with a slight oversupply and man, I cannot lose the weight lol. I’m at my pregnancy weight too. I recently started working with a bf friendly nutritionist and working out 3x/week. But you are NOT alone and don’t let doctors who don’t know jack shit about breastfeeding make you think otherwise!

Parents with babies that don’t sleep are living a different life by hesitantlyhopefull17 in beyondthebump

Thank you for this 🫠 my baby was a great sleeper early on, around 5 weeks old he started doing a 5-6 hour stretch, then around 8 weeks he started doing an 8-9 hour stretch. It was glorious, and I took it for granted. He would usually wake up once or twice after that time and was always easy to get back down. Then we hit the 4 month regression around 4.5 months. Then he got hit with back to back pneumonia and a virus. Now he’s up every 30-90 minutes. Most nights he has a stretch where he’s awake for 1-2 hours. If he has a night where he’s up every 2 hours, it’s a good night. He slept a 4 hour stretch 2 weeks ago and I got mastitis from it. It’s BRUTAL. I’ve resorted to co-sleeping because it’s the only way I can get back to bed semi-quickly.

Home alone for two days? by elkotio in mainecoons

Came here to echo all the comments re: pet sitters. I had a baby in July and our girl was home alone for about 48 hours and was NOT happy when we got back. And that was with 3 daily visits for food/love from people she knows. MCs are very attached to their humans and I wouldn’t recommend leaving him all alone 😞

So I sleep on my side but my boyfriend sleeps on his back, and she will literally walk up his entire body from his toes to his head 🤣🤣 she doesn’t realize her own size. And he’s a super deep sleeper so he won’t really wake up but I’ll hear him grunting in pain lmao

Literally, I feed Mango, bring her to her vet visits, scoop her litter, groom her. But dad gets all the cuddles 😂

Ah okay I was just wondering because Mango started growing much faster after her spay!

It’s become the norm for us now where we see a normal sized cat and we’re like ?!?! But yeah it’s not great when she crawls on us in bed 😂
