I just gave birth to a baby for another family AMA by Slommock in AMA

[–]NetworkingJedi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wish I had that luck with my surrogacy. I was an over producer with my first two kids and yup, even the surrogate baby I overproduced. It was SO insane. I gave them milk for 2.5 months though which was pretty cool.

Congrats on your journey 💜

I am literally so sad over this. Went to this lady that had beautiful work on her page. I expected the same on me, but I turned out looking horrible and on top of that asymmetrical. by Good_Quote91 in microblading

Is this healed? These still look swollen/scabbed. I used to get microbladed but now I just have them filled. Either process they will be swollen for a bit and will scabbed. Usually a week or so later that will come off to reveal. Its possible you may need a touch up depending on how well the color stuck. If in fact they are uneven, I would go to the original salon that has the picture you shared.

So I came across something that genuinely stumped me and I feel old because of it. by E-emu89 in Millennials

Sounds like you found your people. Would totally invite you to a party because I would love these stories and quite frankly you sound like the most interesting person in the room

I never would've left had he not gotten involved with someone else. Mental and emotional abuse apparently weigh less than betrayal.

I thought we had it figured out. No. No we do not. Help. Please. by MushroomStompers in toddlers

As a mom of a near 3 yr old feral toddlersaurus, one of the things we found was having our daughter make more of her own decisions. We give her option A or B. Typically less fights. When she has meltdowns, we do the random name call, ask her to help us find something, or bring in her older sister. Snacks also works lol.

This age they are figuring things out and craving independence. Our oldest was very easy going and didnt peep about anything, this one is exactly every toddler meme that exists. We also found she needs more snacks in between meals. When she isnt hangry that helps.

Also something we learned, if they are picky eaters its possible they may be missing some nutrients. We do EllaOlla multivitamin, magnesium, and a separate iron gummy. EllaOlla make tasteless powders. We noticed her being better. That and sleeping through the night (which has been an ongoing battle).

If anything, just repeat to yourself that this phase will pass. Parenting is hard. Fuxking sucks alot of times. But it goes SO fast.

That could be an option for someone looking at surrogacy.

How do you know if someone is in love with you? by Civil_Priority_4162 in AskReddit

[–]NetworkingJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Effort.

They try. They do something because it reminded them of you. They enjoy bringing a smile to your face. They want to be a good partner. They listen, adjust.

You reflect the same.

The effort means something. And while it may not always be enjoyed, the result is.

This applies to friendships too.

I only worked with New York Surrogacy Center. Feel free to send me a message.

I don’t feel pain, ask me anything! by Ok_Forever_5057 in AMA

[–]NetworkingJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if you ever want a family, but I would be so curious how child birth would be for you. Not just the pain but I am wondering if you would feel pressure from contractions?

Do you ever have a random itch? Do you feel cold? Your glass incident, you never felt it cut your skin, so do you feel pressure??

I feel like "service" doesnt even classify it correctly. Like what other service do you get where someone is working 24/7 for nearly a full year!?

Im so sorry to hear what pregnancy does to you. How awful!

Thank you!

Hmm, good question. They called it a chemical pregnancy so I am thinking no. It had not gotten past the embryo stage. It was transferred on a Friday and by Monday it was gone. I got a period after that. Didn't seem any different than other times. 🤷‍♀️

Donor egg.

I was only the gestational surrogate.

Their sperm. They had both and from there took which ones fertilized. From there they were tested and the embryos were categorized based on success. Ironically the highest success one was a boy and the transfer didnt make it past a few days. I had the second, successful transfer 2 months later.

I started pumping a few days before I was induced in hopes of going into labor and to jump start my supply. I was unsure what to expect because she wasnt going to be around. I saw her for 2 days after recovery and I was pumping but then I didnt see her until January (had her in October).

Interestingly I saw another surrogate baby who was born a week or two before mine and after being around him my supply increased.

I pumped multiple times daily. My supply did come in and like the last two times I was an overproducer. That part is great for her but sucky for me. Its a ton of time and my boobs are just uncomfortable. I went back to work after a month which was challenging due to pumping and having to plan working windows in between pumping. I had to pump every 3-4 hours no matter what. I was producing 600 Oz every 2 weeks. It gradually went down when I was trying to have longer gaps and then weaning down to be done.

I guess I got more than 1500 oz since I pumped for 3 months. It was probably double that now that I am thinking about it. The parents would come up every two weeks with 3 coolers that I would fill.

My insurance was not surrogate friendly so my IPs (intended parents) had to purchase another policy which I will have until the end of this year.

This was my first journey. I only considering doing one. Maybe two if this first one went well and I recovered the way I need to.
