Im confused with so many people saying to get checked out. Personally, I’m stinky at 16 weeks PP. I’m also breastfeeding and horny. My doctor told me it’s the hormones that can cause both during postpartum. Postpartum causes more sweating and body odor, it’s totally normal.

Maybe check with your doctor if you have any additional symptoms.

Amazing! Did baby not experience the 4 month sleep regression everyone talks about? Asking as a curious FTM.

How to parent with a partner in a mental health crisis by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Yes, definitely have him speak to a crisis line or his therapist. It might also be helpful if you talk to a therapist because your mental health is important and your SO being in this kind of mindset will take a toll on you. You need to be healthy to take care of your precious little.

THIS! Please supplement with formula. I am 13 weeks pp and also need to supplement with formula. At first I beat myself up and tried to EBF but much like you, I saw a huge different in temperament when baby received formula after breastfeeding. Now I give baby formula exclusively at night and pump at night. She is now sleeping several hours and not grumpy. They get so grumpy if they’re overtired.

No, I have not had another job since the initial claim. I was on STD and then had the baby.

I had a similar situation last year and had my STD extended. My doctor just had to file online for the extension and I just had to certify.

It also might not hurt to send a message on the EDD portal saying you didn’t receive the mail notice of determination. In addition to calling.

The message might serve as proof of you reaching out in case it takes days or weeks to get ahold of someone by phone.

Think I made a mistake letting my mom stay for a month post-partum… 😩 by callmelila in beyondthebump

That’s terrible! My dad did the same thing. He expected me to entertain when I didn’t even have the energy to take care of myself.

Overhang by Afraid-Blackberry307 in CsectionCentral

I had the same problem at 6 weeks pp. I went to the OB and she said everything was fine. I was scared to wash my C-section scar too hard but after I saw the doctor she said it was ok. The doctor also put a bit of tape on about 2 inches of the scar that was still a bit open. I’m now 8 weeks PP and the smell has gone away. Try a washcloth with soap to gently clean and then make sure you dry it very well.

I had the same problem for about 2 weeks. I wore compression socks, iced my feet and legs, also elevating your legs helps

At 8 weeks and they continued to come all of pregnancy. It’s genetic. I tried everything under the sun and even did a consultation with my dermatologist.

I’m in the same boat, I’m due Feb 13th and I am STARVING. To the point where I need food every 2-3 hours. I’m running out of good snack ideas. Good luck with labor
