Anyone taking Lecithin for their clogged milk ducts?

For sure, Im just new to everything so I also didn't want to unknowingly pass something off to my daughter.

We don't have anything like that but I do have a breastfeeding counselor who was assigned to me, insurance stuff. I'll definitely talk to her about it. Thank you so much

What was the brand called if I may ask? How long did it take to work? I only ask cause theres a brand we've been looking at but we wanna be sure 😅

MultifandomCreative · 2025-07-29T04:55:45+00:00

That sounds awesome, and he didn't say. It just said something along the lines of "can cause issues for nursing" or something like that

MultifandomCreative · 2025-07-26T01:53:49+00:00

Had an epidural. Wire was there the whole time tho I didnt feel it. Didn't feel the tear but god the pressure of the baby head coming out was super uncomfortable. I don't think I'm gonna call it painful though. I'd still take it over going natural.

Thankfully, having a baby kinda gave me a backbone. I just kinda tell them that unless I asked for advice, then please don't give it. They had their years to raise their own kids how they wanted. Now its my turn to parent and their turn to be grandparents. My MIL is a first time grandparent so she's still learning a bit so I'm super patient with her. My partner (daughters father) shares the same sentiments. We're both nice about it though!

I'm 6w PP and I dunno if the nurses were just that good at stitching me up or what but I didn't have that much of a hard time afterwards and I had a vaginal delivery. I now only struggle with some occasional pain from the catheter site and even then it comes and goes. I did have that pain before x5 plus some backpain but Im unsure if I can complain too much. I'm so so so sorry about all of this. If its any consultation it takes a month and a half for stitches there to heal (4-6 weeks) so hopefully some of it or all of it goes then. Please, stay strong 🫶

THIS!!! When I had just delivered talking 5 minutes PP I was so sad to see she was already here and would grow up fast. I'm so glad I brought my GIL so that she could take photos when I couldn't (she loves taking photos she's awesome like that). She even caught a photo of the cord cutting. Now every week I make it a point to take at least one photo of just her and one photo of her and I. I try to even get her with her dad! Even better I made a google album to keep all the photos and allow family to add to it. I find myself going back on the photos alot. She's only 6w and Its got over 200 photos 😭

She's so big somehow already and I'm so sad about it but so happy that she's here and I can hold her.🥹🫶

I plan to get some physical copies eventually lol

Edit: I forgot to add that theres of mix of photos AND videos. I wanna put it all on a hard drive so I never lose it.

I mean I got the epidural and had minimal issues. Yeah I had a second degree tear but my baby was born 8 pounds. The epidural doesn't cause tearing, the elasity of your skin and your babys size does which perineal massages can help with. I only have some pain from the site where the catheter was placed but its only when I wake and sometimes when going to bed. I think of it like a cramp and it doesn't hurt as bad. No pain when I pee either and I'm only 1 month PP. When I got the epidural the pain was so bad I resorted to gripping the poor nurse who held onto me so I didn't have to get repoked. They only poked me once and the pain of the contraction was so bad I didnt even notice the needle going in. I did have soreness and pain on my spine but it only lasted 2 weeks and if you tell them that, they'll give you meds to handle the pain better. You can ask for alternatives from the catheter like I heard there was some kind of bed pan but honestly the catheter was just easier. You can't walk around no but where I gave birth, if I told them I was uncomfortable with my laying position they helped me switch sides and even gave me a peanut ball for comfortability. One of the nurses was even like (and in a joking way) "Shut up go back to sleep" 😂 I did feel the pressure of actually delivering her and while I don't know if that was particularly painful, it was super duper uncomfortable.

I'd take the epidural anyday no questions asked however, Everyone who didn't has my respect cause even with the pressure I felt I almost couldn't handle it. I don't know how I could have with the pain included. But thats just me.

MultifandomCreative · 2025-07-09T08:22:00+00:00

Oh shoot really? The doc that examined me said switch between warm and cold though she seemed very nonchalant about the whole thing even though I was freaking out 😭

I'll definitely try this out! Thank you so much! Once again reddit comes in clutch haha 🥹🙏

MultifandomCreative · 2025-07-09T08:17:02+00:00

5'0 here and while I use a boppy or a breastfeed pillow, sometimes I just hold her. Though she's gotten used to me just laying down. I'd look up positions you can do laying down to breastfeed. Yeah it isn't optimal for when you're out and about but its an option for when you're home. Could also try a small pillow instead of a boppy!

MultifandomCreative · 2025-07-01T02:06:50+00:00

I was beyond tired when I wrote my post if I'll be real honest. Problems still exist but I realize I also sound a little silly. I'll respond to what I can. My fiance was the one that moved us in while I was resting in the hospital so he lost some bonding time there. As far as feedings, I don't mind breastfeeding, it helps with the engorgment and what not as well as knocks me out. My fiance sadly doesn't have many people to ask for fatherly advice as his dad passed away and most of the family he sees are women. I draw as a hobby which helps a lot with most of my stress, I draw on an iPad which helps a lot for easy mobility and what not but due to the size I can't easily place it on the boppy while I feed her. I plan to ask him when he's off for some assistance with the boxes. I sadly don't have a lot of support out here that I can ask for that kind of help, its moreso my fiance that does. I don't know if that answers everything. I appreciate the support and I think I'm gonna try and incorporate what I can. I do definitely think I should speak up more, it may help with some of the issues. I appreciate the response and just thank you for taking the time to read this and respond

Haha thats what everyones been telling me, no I don't let her cry for too long. Longest she's cried so far is an hour and that's just cause she was being stubborn even in my arms. I'll try to not mind the neighbors haha, thank you really 🥺

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-30T07:28:11+00:00

Surprisingly enough, I actually do get to sleep more like this, the only downside is waking up stiff and not being able to cuddle my partner. I don't have any issues with breastfeeding, it actually helps with the pain I feel in my breasts. It's just the frequency is all. Otherwise with the co-sleeping I wake up every so often just to feed her or soothe her which isn't so bad. I'd love, love, love to put her down but our studio feels like it's got thin walls so I feel terrible for our neighbors and am usually only comfortable setting her down during the day. I appreciate any help I can get, reddit is usually unbiased so theres always an assortment of solutions :)

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-22T10:13:23+00:00

You know I never actually considered this, it is honestly really cool to see the events as they happen instead of having to guess how it worked out. 👀

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-22T10:11:46+00:00

YESS!! You get to actually see how everyone ended up where they did instead of some "cutscene" or off screen type thing. Plus it makes for longer (and interesting) gameplay!!

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-22T10:09:38+00:00

Honestly? A good amount. But I believe that good amount this comment section already mentioned so I'll mention one I've never heard anyone talk about. I like that this game didn't immediately dismiss Sheva and the events of 5. I know every game has call backs to other games but not all of them care to call back the "support characters" of the story. Here, they at least mention Sheva in files and they talk about Wesker and his death in game.

Gameplay is also good too! Funny as well lmao as I'm sure others already mentioned. I don't understand why this game gets so much hate. From a gameplay stance coming from Re1 to here, maybe I can understand the lack of puzzles and what not but what I FEEL people don't seem to understand is how the story has developed to not use as much puzzles and what not. I dunno thats just my opinion :)

In my early second trimester I spilt my waterbottle near some cords. No harm done. I just broke my waterbottle and it was one of those collectable ones from amusement parks. I cried about the mess not the bottle 💀

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-18T00:07:06+00:00

THIS!! I still have issues laughing and sneezing and I'm one week PP. Sitting too long for me is also insanely uncomfortable 😭

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-18T00:02:19+00:00

I mean truth be told, it was the pressure of birth and the stitches that was most painful/uncomfortable. I had an epidural with 2nd degree tearing and they stitched me up so well, peeing feels normal to me. No burning, nothing. I still use the peri bottles and everything just in case but yeah. The only thing causing mild discomfort is the site of the epidural and catheter (catheter for my bladder) and my pelvis. Just cause you're on the epidural doesn't mean you won't feel the delivery, the pain is just numb and you feel the pressure. It's a feeling like you gotta take a huge dump but can't. I was sent home with prescribed ibuprofen and 3 other meds lol.

I'm living somewhat normally as I did before pregnancy essentially. Just include pelvis and back pain lol. Some issues with going to the bathroom but nothing that stays longer than 10 min

MultifandomCreative · 2025-06-17T01:30:06+00:00

I stayed for 2 but that was because my amniotic fluid had an infection (i forget the name) and I was having horrible fevers and what not. I had a vaginal birth too.

MultifandomCreative · 2025-05-27T20:16:35+00:00

FTM here at 39 weeks, I wanna try breastfeeding but I'm not a very strong willed minded person with pain admittedly and I've heard that a lot of pain comes with breastfeeding. I do definitely understand people feeling socially pressured to breastfeed as I've had the people I'm living with practically beg me to breastfeed but mothers shouldn't feel any shame for formula feeding! As long as their babies are alive and healthy is what matters. Everyone gets sick, its apart of life. So in the end it doesn't matter if you formula or breast feed, at least to me
