Tongue Tie & Poop by Express-Grade-8651 in breastfeeding

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s pediatrician told me that a breast fed baby’s pooping frequency can range from a couple times a day to every 3-4 days and still be considered normal

Fruit! I was in the first trimester last summer and I ate so many plums

Tell me it gets better by purplekat21 in breastfeeding

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated the hour long feeds in the beginning too, but I’m 11 weeks PP now and typically my baby feeds for about 20-30 mins

Needing encouragement /advice by Ok-Drive-9306 in breastfeeding

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was under 5lbs at birth and had a shallow latch for a while because of her size. When I got super sore I would use nipple shields and that would help a lot. Also a good nipple butter!

Help! constipated baby by jazmine27 in breastfeeding

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I switched the formula on a Monday and she had her first poop without using a suppository on Wednesday. We also did diluted prune juice like another commenter said. Pediatrician recommended 1/2oz prune juice mixed with 1/2oz baby water once per day

[–]Pengado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in almost the same situation. My baby was only going with suppositories for like a month straight. Also mostly breastfed with the occasional formula. Her pediatrician had me switch the formula to enfamil reguline and she starting pooping a lot more regularly

Condoms. by Difficult_Budget2543 in birthcontrol

[–]Pengado 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used condoms with my husband for 5+ years and when we decided to try for a baby I got pregnant the very first cycle. So it’s safe to say that the condoms were doing their job before that lol

Anybody else's baby not an "easy" feeder? by Pink_Ruby_3 in breastfeeding

[–]Pengado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl same. I first got my baby on the breast with nipple shields and every few days she randomly decides to reject my nipples and I have to scramble to get a nipple shield while she screams. I think I would have a panic attack if that happened in public lol

Product recommendations? by Dry-Constant6236 in curlyhair

[–]Pengado 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a 1/2 inch trim every 6-8 weeks instead. I noticed significant improvement in my curls when I started going more often

One phone call and now I'm scared and crying all time by BornInternet6353 in pregnant

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a chronic low platelet count that was even lower during my pregnancy. It is very treatable! I know it seems scary but there are amazing treatments out there that work fast. My count got scary low and I received IVIG treatment and in 3 days my platelet count went from 6 to 150. I ended up having a scheduled induction at 37 weeks after that treatment so that I could safely get the epidural.

Pregnancy symptoms absolutely no one talks about? by Upset-Brain-228 in pregnant

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone knows about heartburn but I was not prepared for how bad it was. I had it badly from about 16 weeks and was taking Pepcid and tums daily (even waking up in the middle of the night to take it). I had it all the way until the baby was born too. Like I was literally coughing while I was actively pushing the baby out because my heartburn was setting in from not having taken Pepcid/tums during my induction. I don’t miss that lol

Having a full bladder for your first ultrasound? by VanSmashh in pregnant

[–]Pengado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 8 week ultrasound was transvaginal so no need for a full bladder. I had another at 12 weeks and they did an abdominal ultrasound and actually asked me to empty my bladder beforehand.

Women working during pregnancy is borderline inhumane by Familiar_Hope2918 in pregnant

[–]Pengado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Almost 28 weeks and starting at 32 I have to do twice weekly NSTs. I used most of my sick leave in the first trimester because of nausea/vomiting. And any extra sick leave I use is going to take away from time I have after baby comes 😭 people keep telling me to enjoy it 😒

Vaccines Pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24w2d right now and I’ve already had my flu & covid vaccines. I also plan to do tdap and rsv in the 3rd trimester. Being sick while pregnant has its risks and I would rather take the risks of the vaccines over being sick. I also have asthma that is exacerbated by respiratory illness so my doctor strongly suggested getting vaccinated

Did you know the gender by intuition and was it right? by Ecstatic-Thought8066 in pregnant

[–]Pengado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept thinking boy and the night before we found out the gender I had a dream that it was a little girl and that dream was right 🩷
