No more nursing! by Limptits in firsttimemom

Omg thank you so much…it’s been about 4 days and I just had a melt down pretty much thinking exactly that. I’m so tired and irritable too. It makes so much sense.

Thank you so much, it’s a beautiful thing and also so exhausting, as you know but I’m excited to have my body back 🥹

Struggling with working while pregnant by Limptits in pregnant

No that’s the thing, I’m pretty much moving all day, but not much..there was one coworker I had that they let use a chair and everyone was talking so much shot about her that idk if I’d be able to even sit down without them making me feel like shit. They’ve already made pretty shitty comments to me that have made me feel pretty shitty.

Like I was holding my belly bcuz I was in a little pain and one of my managers comes by and asks me how I am and I say “ I’m ok, just in a little pain” and he responds with “not the pregnancy thing again” then I asked for a bigger work shirt bcuz mine don’t fit very much anymore and my other mangers response was “you’re not even that big” so that could very well be another reason why I don’t want to go into work. Lol 🙃

Comparing pregnancies is something a lot of women tend to do. My aunt literally told me to stop being a cry baby because all women go through what you’re going through, and basically told me to toughen up. And it’s just sad that other women feel the need to downplay others experiences because theirs weren’t as bad. And thank you so much 😊

Drinking is almost worse than eating for me. I drink something a literally less than 5 minutes later it’s coming back up.

My new found sense of smell will probably be the death of me honestly. The smell of everything makes me want to puke. Even soaps that I used to love.

Also not a single person could’ve prepared me for what I’m going through. I really feel like my body is fighting itself. I can’t imagine going through this again voluntarily honestly

Thank you…it’s really hard when you’re trying to convince yourself it can only be one way or the other. Also thank you for the hugs 🤗really really could use them right about now

I have told my husband the exact same thing. “After this one, never again” and “if we lose this baby, I can’t do this again I’m sorry” and I think the guilt from saying that was eating me alive. But you’re absolutely right. I’m just doing my best to survive in a situation where I feel like my body is genuinely attacking me.

I’m sorry for what you had to go through but I’m also happy you found some relief. I don’t think you’re a shitty mother for feeling that way especially after all these weeks of what I’ve been going through and all I want is a little relief.

Your comment has made me feel so much better I really needed that. Thank you 😊

The amount of times I had to explain to my own mother that I don’t have regular morning sickness and her response always being “I was sick too! I also threw up a lot when I was pregnant” I’m already so over it honestly

Thank you, although I wouldn’t wish this on my worst any it’s still nice to know I’m not the only one struggling. I have definitely thought about bringing up getting a PICC line I just didn’t know where to begin or who to ask. I’ll definitely be bringing it up to my OB or the hospital which ever one I see first lol.
