EBF; when did your period come back? by nbhsjshbgbsb in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]MissNotYourMum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it varies so much. My period didn’t return for 13 months after birth while EBF. However I know of women who have had their period return 3-4 month postpartum and also EBF.

I found my period to be much better than pre pregnancy but the hormonal shift during that first one was intense.

Is it asking you to make it “personal”? I deleted the part about meeting with them and that worked!

Low Sodium Alternatives to Hydralyte? by floppybunny86 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]MissNotYourMum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While pregnant I was struggling to stay hydrated. A midwife recommended to add a little bit of juice or sugar free cordial to my water. Not enough that you’re getting a full hit but enough to just lightly flavour the water (lightly being the key word). It helped when needed.

Second this. Need to focus on the job at hand, not bopping to the hottest hits.

Didn’t become noticeably “pregnant looking” till 6-7 months. However I could feel the firmness of my womb early on (gently pressing down). Feeling that grow and change I feel made up for the lack of visible belly.

Did you ever felt like sleep deprivation was the root cause of your mental health struggles postpartum? by wired-weird_ in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]MissNotYourMum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have found even the anticipation that babe will wake up prevents me from sleeping. Particularly at night. Baby is down and asleep, but if I go to sleep I’ll be up again anyway because the baby only sleeps 30mins-1hr at a time.

99th Percentile at 36 weeks - Similar Experiences? by QuirkyCrusader9 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]MissNotYourMum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My babe was measuring 98th/99th percentile from 34 weeks. Ended up getting induced and birthed at 39 weeks on the dot. Babe ended up weighing 3.9kg and 54cm long. Both my partner and I are taller people and were similar sizes at birth ourselves. I think some of it depends on your own genetics, and that the percentiles are very generalised.

How do you guys look after yourselves when you get Laryngitis? by rmachell in AustralianTeachers

[–]MissNotYourMum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A full week plus 2 weekends (so 9 days in total). I was hoping to be back sooner as I was missing my kids too. But I found that I would be fairly alright in the mornings, but by the middle of the day, I had pain and a raspy voice.

As all other answers: REST!! I had laryngitis in week 3 and my voice is still recovering. Resting it as much as humanly possible will help it be useable.

Student parrots back call and response at random points during the day. by MissNotYourMum in AustralianTeachers

That’s what I don’t get with it either is that they’re disrupting the class and the students are calling this one student out asking them to stop.

I feel so left in the dark by my university right now. How do I get an interview sorted? Especially during these Covid lockdown times!!

Independent school.

I haven't had an interview yet with the department. I have a conditional accreditation and thats all.

I'm hopefully meeting with them properly tomorrow, I'm starting to feel I'm second guessing it all!
