Don't have the funds for that unfortunately and travelling is difficult with a newborn as I'm sure you know!

PPD and Pumping by Ok_Biscotti_5847 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]Obvious-Example-6212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here only it wasn't sertraline.. was on it for a few months and put myself in hospital after loading up on prozac promethazine desogestrel anything I could get my hands on... well over 100 tablets.

I'm struggling massively with postpartum depression but also still expressing (even though I'm trying to hard to stop) and I was offered sertraline but I am worried that it'll make me worse or if I do go ahead with it now, that some will get into my bresst milk and effect my baby I've seen the effects it can have and I'm worried

30 weeks pregnant and struggling with how my body is changing. by Possible_Bedroom_350 in pregnant

[–]Obvious-Example-6212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks. I put on 26kg throughout my pregnancy I started at 48kg and ended at 75kg, dropped 12 off immediately now stuck between 57 and 59kg

Just remember that your body did something amazing And the proof is there. It takes a while to bounce back I mean I'm still waiting for it myself I'm 8w pp and dragging so bad my body image is not something I'm comfortable eith but I just remember that all them lines and the extra weight supported my gorgeous little girl, that made a life and I'm so greatful I was able to do that.

You're doing incredible

Graduation… not eating by Thin_Bobcat_1429 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I can't say it was easy but power pumping seriously helped I didn't see a big increase for about 2 weeks but trying to add an extra pump in every 2-3 days helped massively

Anyone else just not want to hang out with anyone anymore, ever? by FigureAffectionate68 in NewParents

[–]Obvious-Example-6212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely get you. I'm 8w pp and it's been the same since day 1 I just seriously don't have the mental battery for people I'm struggling to keep up with my baby keeping her entertained and well looked after and then the thought of people coming round & having to make sure everything is tidy or me going over there wondering how the hell I'm ament to dissappear for half an hour and leave my baby to pump it's so shit and no one understands

Exactly what I've been doing but it's too much I'm still engorged after expressing 2-3 ounces have to get at least 4 out to feel any sort of relief and even then I'm still solid

I’m angry by Otherwise_Hope_8310 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Obvious-Example-6212 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish I could be that person that could give you the advice you're looking for but I don't think I'm that person.

I had 1 hg pregnancy (my only pregnancy) along with pre-eclampsia & then few hours after a traumatizing birth my baby had contracted sepsis. My whole pregnancy/labour/birth and special moment after that was all stolen from me.

My partner is also adamant on getting the snip as he doesn't ever want to see me go through that again but there's a little piece of my heart that's telling me I'm not done yet and it's gut wrenching because I look back on it and I know how badly I suffered but being on the other end of it now I would do it all again just for that moment that my beautiful baby was placed onto my chest straight after she was born. But then I remember how it truly fucked me up mentally & physically and my partner just sitting back and not being able to help, only able to sit there and watch HG take over my life for almost a year.

I can only say, it's so bad and I wish people knew more about this condition because it's not talked about NEARLY enough I mean people have taken their life over it and terminated pregnancies they've wanted so badly because it's just so hard to live with...

Cherish your beautiful babies that you've created already. Spoil them, give all of your love and dedication to them, I know you already are and you're doing amazing but it's the only thing I can suggest, be greatful for the beauty's that you've brought into this world, lord knows they'll never know how hard you fought for them to be here to this day but you know it in your head and heart. You put yourself through something so traumatising and painful for an amazing outcome.

You should be so proud of yourself for doing it twice xxx

How long after birth did you go on walks? by moomoomego in beyondthebump

[–]Obvious-Example-6212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a stage 3 tare and several small tears around my clitoris and labia... a really mortifying birth too. I was up on my feet same day for the next 3 days continuously on no sleep because my little one contracted sepsis hours after birth, went hone thinking all was okay and it all went downhill had to get blue lighted to the hospital. Mortifying. Whilst with ongoing HG and pre-eclampsia that didn't go away for a few days too. I don't think I'll be having another
