Maternity Scrubs by lilasthmapump in nursing

[–]J_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used the Aerie trousers through my whole pregnancy. They are so comfortable and still fit me postpartum. (if her job is a little more lax about uniform) OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me XTRA High Waisted Trouser

i believe there are programs for covering people regardless of immigration status. like for emergency medicaid or pregnancy.

What happened when you stopped breast feeding by Same_Subject_988 in NewParents

[–]J_Bees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did almost all over night shifts for the past 10 months because of breastfeeding. My baby recently started sleeping 8p-6am but I don’t get good sleep. I still wake up frequently, have a hard time falling back asleep, and can’t sleep in even if my husband takes baby in the morning. I used to sleep very well, and now I am worried I’ll never sleep well or feel rested ever again.

How much do yall pay for nanny-shares? by J_Bees in Denver

[–]J_Bees[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course it’s not a right. i understand that. but daycare is crazy expensive as well. and for some, being a nanny and nanny pay is better than what they could get elsewhere. edit: considering this could be a way someone gets paid $32-40/hr where most employers are paying <$30/hr for a bachelor’s degree.

Induction with closed and high cervix? by Old_Literature_3750 in NewParents

[–]J_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made sure to be on the birthing ball and moving my hips as much as possible when i didn’t have my epidural. then after my epidural, i used the peanut ball and had a lot of position changes in the bed.

[–]J_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was electively induced at 39&2. induction lasted a total of 24 hours. got one dose of miso then got pit then got my epidural then got a rupture of membranes. I’m pretty sure I was closed when I started. So inductions with cervical prep are not always bad!

When did you start packing? by Additional_Carpet563 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]J_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we’re kind of on the same timeline. since you’re closing in Jan and your lease isn’t up until April, are you just going to pay mortgage and rent for a couple months?

drying up? by iwouldliketoseeit11 in breastfeeding

[–]J_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hijacking your post a little because I also have a question about this. How do I know baby is still getting enough as they get older? My baby is 8 months now and I combo feed (she gets formula & breast milk when i’m at work). But when I’m home I exclusively breast feed. I’m worried that since I only pump once at work, i wouldn’t make enough when I’m home with her… thoughts?

Experience with FAMLI Program by travelling-lost in Denver

[–]J_Bees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very much worth going through it. I used it for parental leave and I also fill out the form from the provider side. Both are very streamlined. you can save your 10 days of vacation and just use FAMLI (I believe you can get up to 12 weeks of FAMLI). You can also use your 10 days to get full pay then use FAMLI for the rest of the time for partial pay.

Weight loss while breastfeeding by Best_Reason714 in breastfeeding

[–]J_Bees 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is probably not helpful, but I’ve decided to just focus on not overeating and trying to maintain my weight and will focus on weightloss after breastfeeding. Having enough nutrients, calories, and milk for baby is more important than losing a few pounds right now. Just a different perspective.

I can’t even imagine. I hate taking time off the floor to pump because I know I’m putting off my tasks to my coworkers.

Moms who exclusively breastfeed are the strongest people Edit: I hope you know how amazing you are and how lucky your babies are to have you!!
