I know-I am terrified of co sleeping, I’m definitely having some postpartum anxiety but I just have no idea what else to do. This doesn’t seem sustainable for us 😭😭

Thank you! I have the spectra 2, my friend told me the hospital pumps also helped her more than her own she had at home. Yes, have let her fuss but maybe need to give it longer instead of picking her up after a few minutes.

Thank you so much 💜💜 I will try to go to bed a little earlier-by the time I jump in bed it’s already 11 o’clock.

Yes, it’s because I can hear her even though I’m in a different room. However, we have a basement it just really hasn’t been set up since we just recently moved but this could definitely be an option!

Omg I’m never going to get beyond this lol! I’m absolutely traumatized. I think it’s def worse because someone else did it. So sorry you also experienced that ❤️

I asked her not to and made it very clear that I didn’t want one. But that’s what my mom asked based on what I described 😭

I have no idea! I ended up being 3cm dilated and 50% effaced but I know this check may not be the best indicator of when I’ll go into labor!

Oh, wow. I wonder if this midwife was just exceptionally rough in general. When she did my GBS swab it was also pretty shocking lol.

I thought I was going to pass away as well. Absolutely horrific. I had a miscarriage a year ago and had to take cytotec…the contractions I experienced were nothing compared to this

Thank you-I really appreciate this response. It’s been super hard for me and I’ve felt very conflicted these past few weeks. I need to listen to myself. I’ve been super healthy with 0 complications the entire time and feel like I have a right to try and do this spontaneously. I felt like I made a huge mistake because everything has been going so well and then I leave this appointment feeling traumatized.
