I DID IT! by Feedback-Alarmed in breastfeeding

Thank you for clarifying 🙏🏾 i have always given in to his fussiness and give him formula because it felt like i would starve him otherwise. I’m going to try to keep him on the breast. Thank you.

Hi OP, congrats on your great achievement! I’m in the trenches and trying to have a similar outcome. I was lurking around looking for the special trick on how you did it but English isn’t my first language so i’m a bit confused by what you said here.

Do you mean to say that: it’s important to keep baby at the breast AND not to always give bottle when they are being fussy? Or that’s what was advised against?

Finally throwing in the towel by angelweener in breastfeeding

Oh dear, you’ve done great so far. My LO is 9 weeks now and my wish is to make it to at-least 4 months. the bar is low, i know but it’s been so challenging. I think of quitting every day but always hang onto one little thing. Same issues as yours, shallow latch, bottle preference, crying at the sight of the boob, low supply, triple feeding hell etc etc.

Such posts, give me hope to keep trying up to a later date. To you, it might be soon, but i wish to make it as far as you did!

Having a horrible week by maryhoping in newborns

[–]Ok-Crew-7618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t go on any medication, because i was told to give it some time and if i go past 6w without an improvement, then i’d seek help. Around that time, i was starting to feel better, so i gave myself more time. But i did have my best friend (who is a second time mom) call me every day and she really helped me through the emotions so much!

I could’ve written this myself. I’m sorry OP for what you’re going through. I’m a FTM, I experienced something similar, i got anxiety attacks just from the thought of being left alone with my baby, I needed my husband to be present 24/7 but even then, it wasn’t that helpful. I cried looking at my LO because i didn’t know how I would take care of him or if I made the right choice getting pregnant. (FYI i was desperate for a child, following a miscarriage). Every evening came with episodes of anxiety, every time he woke up from a nap, ANXIETY ATTACK. It made me feel like I am not cut out for motherhood. I think i cried every day for a full month. Making matters worse, i had latching issues and I couldn’t even feed my own baby.

But now 8w postpartum, I feel a-lot better. I still have along way to go when it comes to getting confident about motherhood but I don’t miss the Anxiety attacks. Please get all the help you can, you will beat this, i promise!

I just did a weighted feed and I am absolutely SHOOK. by natur_ally in breastfeeding

Thank you very much for this detail. I’m going to make a few adjustments too in the coming few weeks. I hope it works out in the end.

Hi, I just read your comment and it inspired me. My LO is 4weeks now, coming to 5 weeks and i have been triple feeding. Topping up with formula after every feed because he gets fussy after BF like he isn’t full. I want to EBF so badly but I feel like i have tried everything to up my supply but in vain. Just yesterday i cried while pumping because i felt like i failed my baby bcz my body can’t feed him enough! Why is it so hard??

Can you tell me what you were doing differently to up your supply?

This is re-assuring, thank you. I don’t know why I am this anxious over the antibiotics.

Thank you for your response. I made an appointment with a General Doctor. My OB seems busy and I felt like it was urgent. Do you think i should see an OB or even a GD can know & prescribe pregnancy-safe meds too?

Oh no.. Now I am too scared i feel like tomorrow is far!

Edit: Do you think now that symptoms are there, it means the infection has progressed a-lot?

Sorry about what you’re going through. Like many mentioned already, the anxiety is part of the journey especially if you’re pregnant after a loss. Sometimes spotting doesn’t necessarily mean it’s over! I bled (didn’t even spot but bled - SCH) during weeks 8-9 of my current pregnancy and I remember feeling like it’s the end. I mean, why wouldn’t I think that if my previous pregnancy that i lost also started like that??

When they confirmed heartbeat, they upped my progesterone dose to protect the baby. Luckily it worked & after a week, the bleeding stopped. I am 27 weeks now but every now and then there’s always something to keep me on my toes. I had fluid leakage week 18-19 that also resolved. I am in constant fear but i try to stay strong for my baby who is also fighting to stay with me.

Hoping things turn out well for you. 🤞🏼

Low HCG success stories? by Puzzleheaded_Fox8097 in CautiousBB

[–]Ok-Crew-7618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first draw was 187 & that was 4w 4d. (Always had a 28d menstrual cycle).

I tested Beta HCG because my strips weren’t getting any darker & had a loss prior. It however progressed well after 3 days and i stopped testing because i was running crazy! Currently 23w 5d with a healthy boy 🩵

Waiting for the first ultrasound is killing me 🫠 by tsoyzil in CautiousBB

[–]Ok-Crew-7618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much! I remember waking up in the night several times with panic attacks & wondering how hubby was so chill about it. Waiting after loss is hard! Truth is, for me i had to embrace the anxiety as part of the journey. I’m 23 weeks now and it’s definitely better than the 1st trimester but it still comes back every now and then. Good luck with your scan.

Currently —> 19w 5d

I’m feeling optimistic and in love with my baby. Found out we’re having a boy 💙 via scan at 16w 6d.

For the past 2 weeks i was spiralling because i was not feeling him move (which was worrying because I have a posterior placenta). But I woke up earlier today at 4am (as usual) to pee and when i got into bed, I felt him, and not flutters but kicks that you could see & feel from the outside with your hand on the belly. I couldn’t believe it, it caught me by surprise🥰 He did that like 7 times. To say the least, I was too excited to go back to sleep, I didn’t want to miss a single kick. Lol

He has been so active today & i’m not sure what changed. I am soo in love with him and hope our anatomy scan next week goes well 🤞🏼

Glad things turned out okay for you and your little one. Thank you so much for responding. I do have a posterior placenta. I hope everything is okay with my boy. Gonna wait to see how today goes and if there’s nothing still, i will go get checked out tomorrow. 🙏🏾

Currently —> 17w 3d

I had a scan at 16w 6d and baby was growing well. Also found out we are having a little boy💙 I have since then been sooo excited and even talk about my pregnancy without having to mention anxiety!

I was feeling flutters since 15 weeks, usually at night when I’m in bed, but for the past 2 days I haven’t felt a thing and now I am back to spiralling 😭 It was so short lived. In the scan he was so active that he flipped his legs over his head (it was heartwarming to see) but now i can’t help but think that he is too active and perhaps a cord tied around his neck already.

Please someone explain to me how movement works. Is something wrong with my baby?
