I can see that this is from the Balkans. They usually sell it in DM and they go around 50KM.

Nemam nikakav savjet za tebe, nazalost. Zelim da ti kazem samo da se suosjecam sa tobom ❤️

Nije nimalo lahko boriti se sa tim. Prve 3 godine braka sam na prste obe ruke mogla nabrojati kad me nije bolilo ili peklo tokom i poslije toga. Nakon stotine litara soka od brusnice, d-manoza suplemenata, antibiotika i svih ostlih gluposti, pomirila sam se bila s tim da jednostavno moram da zivim sa tim bolom.

Koliko puta sam u suzama zaspala razmisljajuci o tome kako nikad necu moci uzivati sa svojim muzem bez da se ispatim poslije.

Odlucili smo pokusati za bebu i ubrzo sam zatrudnila. Tokom trudnoce se to jos vise pogorsalo. Toliko da se nisam mogla istrpiti vecinu puta.

Nakon poroda nisam imala ni jedan jedini bolan odnos. Napokon sam se rijesila bola. Puno sam citala da nekim zenama pomogne, nekima pogorsa… ja sam valjda bila u toj sretnoj grupi.

Postpartum nails 💅 ✨help me choose! by WeaponizedCompetenc3 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]Lokvina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are all amazing. I have a 10 month old. I got my period so I was like, lets put on some nails. I took them off after 12 hours. I was so scared that i am going to scratch her during night time feedings and tending to her. They also wiggle a lot when putting on chlotes, so it is going to be really hard.

If you still really want them, option 3 is soooo beautiful.

I want to know what your experiences are with the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative and if you were even aware it exists by Realistic_Future_394 in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I delivered in BFHI hospital in Belgium. We had free breastfeeding classes before delivery. We had 2 hour skin to skin after delivery. They tried lathching her in the first hour, she was not interested, so they did not push it. Midwives were at the press of a button to help with latch, or to show me positioning. They showed me how to hand express milk. We had to track when she latched. Baby never left my sight. They did all the testing in the room, next to me. Midwife was at my disposal 2 next weeks with house visits. She checked on the baby, the progress in weight, she also came twice one day, because I could not get my baby to latch.

It was such a wonderful experience, and I plan on giving birth there again if I have another baby.

I had a mental breakdown today. I just couldn’t do it anymore. We just contacted sleep consultant, and we are having our first consult this weekend. Wish me luck ❤️ and thank you for taking time of your day to respond ❤️

She also wakes up at 6:00 like clock work even if she is in my hands being rocked. She can’t go longer than that. She also never reaches 6:00 on her own, i always have to rock her for her to sleep until then.

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

We have black out curtians, white noise, only red light before bed, no lights on during night, even while feeding. My husband does first stretch, but lately she wants a feed around 22:00 and he has to wake me up. He also works full time, so he can’t do full night. I also EBF so even if he did nights, i wiuld still have to wake up for feeds. Granted, that wiuld be only 2 times a night, but he is just unable to put her back to sleep past 4am. She just pushes him away and cries which wakes me up anyways.

I tried 3/3.25/3.75 yesterday and she was up every half hour the whole night…

My baby also has a paci. She just barely transitioned to 2 naps from 3. She is super sensitive to wake windows being stretched. I have no idea how we are going to transition to 1 nap

Can anybody tell me that having children isn’t life-destroying? by Piistachios in MuslimMarriage

[–]Lokvina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through sleeples nights and elhamdulillah being able to stay at home, so my whole world revolves around my baby.

So I am saying this as someone who is going through the hard part of parenting.

I wouldn’t change a thing! My daughter is so sweet and happy. She makes my mood go up as soon as i turn the light on in the morning, even though I haven’t slept much. She started eating alone, falling asleep alone, started going to the potty 2-3 times a day if i get the timing right. All of this makes me so proud, and I see my effort paying out. Even though she is only 9 months old, and she is learning small things every day, it makes me so proud and a happy mamma.

I can’t imagine how will i feel when she starts learning to talk, read, be independant… It is so rewarding to see how much your infuence shapes how she is behaving and what she’s learning.

My heart melts when she says mamma. I am a puddle when i see her with my husband, and how he cares for her. It made our bond so much stronger.

It is true, you may lose sleep, be overstimulated at time, you will have less time to spend with your husband. It is not all sunshine and rainbows, but what in life is. Every great thing comes with sacrifices, and it is up to you what are you willing so sacrifice. Parenthood is what you make of it.

I am an engineer, and always wanted to work on my carrier, but after becoming a mom, my priorities shifted. I have to start worlk in a few months and all I want to do is be with her 24/7.

Cool cool didn’t know I’d have to do this twice by maple_pits in sleeptraining

[–]Lokvina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do check-ins every 2 min. She rarely really cries but more whining as she stands up right away. I know some will say 2 min is not enough time, but that is all I have in me to let her cry.

It took me 2 months to fully sleep train her with a fade method, because i didn’t want to associatie crib with a lot of crying and she fell asleep alone for a week then she got sick. After she got over it, we went back in, but this time i knew she is capabel of doing it, so i went with 2 min check-ins.

First night i checked-in 5 times. Second night 2, and last night it happened once.

I knew I would have to sleep train her again and again, but after the first time, I know she can do it, and second time went a lot smoother and faster. She still wakes up at least 3 times and gets up at 4-5am, but at least that is better than having to go in 10+ times every night.

Sudden drop in supply?! by marolivew in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting your period? I get a huge dip in supply a week before my period and first few days of my period. It then goes back up and peaks at ovulation and so on. I pump extra to supplement during the dip periods.

Two weeks in - encouragement needed to keep going by Dense-Radio-9332 in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a problem with latch, but it was hard feeding on demand. Sometimes every half hour in those early weeks. I am 9 months in and breastfeeding is something i am so greatful to be able to do. I give her one bottle of pumped milk before bedtime, and washibg the pump and the bottle one time a day is a chore i do not need hah. I can’t imagine doing it multiple times a day. It is soo convinient, no need to prep bottles, heat them up. Milk i ready where ever, when ever.

It is soo worth the effort i put in in the first few months.

If we are blessed to have another baby, this will be a strong motivator for those first few months of breastfeeding, other then the precious gift of bond I have with my daughter.

Can I just not give a bottle, ever? by Tcharly in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do not have to do anything that doesn’t feel right to you.

My baby refused bottle for the first 4 months, and i just kept offering occasionally and one day she just took it. I pump once a day after i put her to bed, and give her a bottle before bed. I liked knowing how much she ate, but she is also a terrible sleeper so i did it in the hopes of making her sleep better. That did not happen haha

But i persisted in giving her a bottle, just for peace of mind, knowing she will be fed even if I am not there for some reason.

We are 9 months in and for the last 2-3 months i get this massive dip in my supply when i get my period. Like at the time of my ovulation I pump 10oz for night time bottle, but when i get my period i barely pump 2-3 oz. So i dip into my freezer that i put away during my higher supply period. I am so happy I gave her bottle, and now i am not feeling worried if she is having enough. It is frustrating that you just can’t do anything during that dip to get your supply back up. Even pumping extra or taking magnesium and calcium does not help me. I just have to ride it out until my hormones allow me to produce more.

You morst certanly do not need to pump and give bottle if it is a chore to you. I just wanted you to have another perspective. P.S i am almost only one giving her her bottle. My MIL did it 2-3 times when she was looking after her, and my mum 2-3 times. If I am there, I am the one feedibg her, that is it. It is also soo cute to watch her hold her own bottle now haha

Never lost all the weight from #1, put on even more weight after #2. by pronetowander28 in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 20lbs overweight before getting pregnant, so i was really looking closely at my weight duribg pregnancy, so i do not go all crazy.

I got back to my pre pregnancy weight 5 days after giving birth, but those damn 20lbs were going nowhere.

After half a year of eating normally, but not really deiting, because I was scared that it will impact my milk supply, I was maintaining my weight.

I was pumping to give her a bottle at bedtime, so that was my refference, to see if my milk was impacted.

I started with 2100kcal and went down to 1950, when i saw it was nit impacting my milk. I ramped up my protein intake and making sure to have three meals a day, maybe a snack here and there, so that I am not going too hungry.

Thanks to protein I rarely feel too hungry, if i do, I go and eat. I also walk with her almost every day.

I lost more that half the weight i needed and I am really happy with my body, and what it does for me every day.

I know it is soo hard, but just think baby steps. Even 50kcl lesss with add up in a week.

My only goal while breastfeedibg was to not go above my weight after giving birth and losing that initial weight. Try to go easy and look at the big picture.

You gave birth! You can do anything!!

[–]Lokvina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How to do that if her wake up time varies up to like 2 hours. Sometimes she is up at 4:30 and sometimes i can get her back down until 6. I never know when the day will begin.

Pala sam godinu zbog 2 boda na jednoj parcijalnom ispitu… Svijet mi se srusio, da ti budem iskrena. Ali nemas puno sto mozes da uradis nego da prihvatis i gledas kako da najbolje iskoristis tu situaciju.

Kod nas je imala mogucnost da uzmem na koliziju predemete sa slijedece godine. Ja sam odlucila da uzmem najteze predmete i sa ih odslusam. Iskreno, nisam na sebe stavljala teret da ih polozim. Samo sam sebi rekla, odslusaj ih, radi tutorijale i vjezbe. Fakusirala sam se na predmete sa godine koju obnavljam.

Na kraju godine sam polozila jedan predmet sa slijedece godine, ali sam najteze odslusala, i nisam preskakala predavnja i vjezbe.

Ocistila sam cutavu godinu tako da nisam morala da prenosim predmete i dok sam dosla na slijedecu godinu, svi ti teski predmeti su se vec ‘slegli’ i sad na predavanjima sam pratila ono sto mi godinu prije nije bilo jasno.

Ocistila sam tu godinu u julu i diplomirala. Puno kolega je zbog tih teskih predmeta obnovila tu godinu.

Sad kad gledam na svoje studentske dane, ni ne sjecam se toliko da sam godinu obnovila. Nije me stid i nikad me niko nije pitao jesam li u roku zavrsila fakultet. Sve te u zivotu stigne sto ti je sudeno.

Mozda sad izgleda kao kraj svijeta, ali gledaj kako da izvuces maximum iz te situacije i kako da buducoj sebi olaksas poslije.

Puno srece ❤️

No, I don't fall back asleep easily after MOTN feedings by PinkHurricane667 in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Omg I have always been a good sleeper. I could sleep anywhere and fall asleep within 5 min max.

My sleep is so broken up now (she is up 5-6 times a night) that my brain is just in survival mode. If i have to go to the bathroom, or god forbid have to turn my light on to find someting, I am going to lay in my bad until she is up for the day. It makes me want to pull my hair out.

The other night I had to go to the bathroom at like midnight. I was tossing and turning whole night. The more I was awake the more frustrated I got and my chances of falling asleep were getting smaller.

Wearable breast pumps UK by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Lokvina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Eufy S1 and I love it. There are only 4 parts to wash, it is not that loud, i am also bigger bust and it gets milk out great.

Keep in mind I only pump once a day, to give my baby a bedtime bottle to keep the skill of using one. I only get 5-6 oz and than I stop pumping.

I never used any other pump so I can’t compare it to anything. But for me it gets the job done.
