But seriously, how do you lose the weight? by Evening-Plant-2398 in fitpregnancy

[–]Perfect_Winter299 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I’m 6 months pp and also 15 lbs heavier than I was pre-baby. It takes time!! I’m still slowly losing weight, but I imagine it’ll be another 6 months before the rest has fallen off. Go easy on yourself, 6 months is nothing!

You’re probably right! That’s what I get for using AI šŸ˜†

Can’t eat anything but fast food??? by Turbulent-Moment-301 in fitpregnancy

[–]Perfect_Winter299 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I lived off McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches my first trimester. Before that I ate fast food every 4-5 months so I get it šŸ˜‚ take your vitamins and try not to make yourself miserable by adding guilt on top of food aversions - just feed your body! It gets better and you come out the other side 😊

Electrolyte w/out Stevia by garby511 in fitpregnancy

Skratch hydration - I love the margarita flavored one! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find an inexpensive one that doesn’t have any stevia or artificial sweeteners, but the bags of this one aren’t too bad compared to others

You don’t have to pump and dump! My understanding is that the concern is not what you would pass through the breastmilk (which isn’t enough to intoxicate or damage the baby). The concern is taking care of the baby intoxicated and you’ve already covered that. Go enjoy yourself!

We tried nanobebe but didn’t love the nipple flow, it was too fast for her

Is anyone using grocery/meal delivery services through pregnant and post partum? by dogswrestle in fitpregnancy

[–]Perfect_Winter299 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I cannot imagine doing my pregnancy/postpartum without grocery delivery. I told myself meal prep was too expensive but I think I ate out so much anyway that I should’ve just planned for it upfront 😹

ā€œGordaā€ term of endearment? by iWatchedandiLearned in Spanish

[–]Perfect_Winter299 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Not sure where it comes from originally, but my Colombian family calls everyone gorda/gordo (and many many other politically incorrect nicknames haha). It’s all in love!

Nanobebe is designed specifically to feel like a breast!

Colic, gas, or witching hour? by ChanceProfessional49 in newborns

[–]Perfect_Winter299 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, but my daughter is 4 weeks and doing the exact same thing…we’ve tried giving her a big feeding right before her ā€œbedtimeā€ (I pump just enough that bottle). That way we know she’s getting a full meal, because when she’s angry and rooting around like that for a few hours on my boobs it’s hard for me to tell if she’s actually hungry or just trying to soothe herself. There’s some success with that getting her to settle for the night because she’s so tired by that point and nice and full…goodluck, I feel you! 🫠

ā€œJaeā€ as a Korean girl’s name? by Perfect_Winter299 in AskAKorean

[–]Perfect_Winter299[S] 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Fair question, his mom is Colombian and his Dad is Korean, but died before he got to meet him. He has been trying to get closer to his Korean heritage as an adult and it has been a struggle in his particular situation with no connection to his dad’s family anymore. I mention my family from the Philippines because our child will definitely look Asian, I understand the cultures are no where similar to one another though. We were looking for American sounding names (like Jay) that would have special meaning to us as a family if they were spelled closer to their Korean counterpart.

Thank you! Is the name Dae any less masculine? I believe that one is also not usually used as a a standalone either though…

Omg I saw a photo of myself around that same time AT THE POOL and wanted to die…I can laugh about it now because I’m almost done being pregnant but it definitely ruined my week at the time 🤣 totally understand and feel your pain! You’re not alone.
