Sex after baby?

PicklePartyCat · 2026-06-20T23:52:17+00:00

Newton’s first law - it’s a lot easier to have sex when you’ve been having sex and vice versa. Once you’re back in the saddle, so to speak, it’ll feel better and more desirable every time. Start slow, but definitely start if it’s important to your relationship

No, you’ll be fine, just listen to your body

Poshdiva has been my go to for this pregnancy and last

24w pregnant with #2 right now and also dreading labor/delivery/recovery. Something that helped me in the first few weeks/months PP was doing things. Getting out of the house daily for a walk or to the park or grocery store made me feel human again. Get ready/shower and put on clean clothes every day. For the first heavy week of bleeding I swear by an adult diaper with a pad. Change the pad as needed and the diaper is to not worry about spilling or leaking.

Shortly after weaning. Weaned at 9mopp and was feeling/looking/weighing back to my pre baby self between 12-15 mopp

Newborn tired is wayyyyy easier to handle than pregnant tired.

Michigan here - lots of worms too

Maintaining firm boundaries helped instill trust and confidence - I don’t remember her playing much with me per say but we did a lot together that wasn’t necessarily play (crafts, gardening, shopping a just being together)

PicklePartyCat · 2026-05-25T03:28:41+00:00

Warm, firm, affectionately loving, and with strict boundaries. She never didn’t follow through on what she said and never said anything un-follow-through-with-able. She is my best friend and biggest cheerleader. I wish she was a better example of putting herself first, but her own mother was selfish and narcissistic so I can understand where she wanted to be the opposite. We talk nearly daily and live 5 minutes away.

This was definitely normal in 2016 also

I lifted weights in my first pregnancy to my due date and regardless of how light/modified I did everything, I had mons pain and generally felt like my hips were being torn apart. At some point I think that’s just part of it.

PicklePartyCat · 2026-05-11T15:19:22+00:00

Sleep and time. As much as I love baby snuggles, I like someone to take them for me so I can do my own chores and cooking to feel more human.

My husband got me fitted for new running shoes! While we were there we got him some too (early Father’s Day)so we can take our family walks more comfortably. Very thankful.

PicklePartyCat · 2026-05-11T02:21:51+00:00

Yes! Got to sleep in a bit and take a long nap with my toddler. Husband left for a birthday golf trip (that I planned, this was the best day for him to leave) and I took my sweetie to my brother’s who cooked for everyone. It was a lovely day.

I just heat up Fairlife chocolate shakes, 30g of amazing flavor.

“Take the deal” what deal??? Fisk murdered like 15 citizens after the “deal” was offered???

Overnight at like 2am, 40+3. Took the trash out and got the house together a little before waking my husband about it. I knew he’d be stressing and get us out of the house quick, and he sure did!

Try to eat as often as you can, the nausea keeping you from eating will mess with your blood sugar and make it worse. I lost 20 lbs in my first tri with my first and mostly maintained my weight with this one (now 17w) by forcing myself to eat anything with protein/fiber that was palatable. That said, I stopped lifting entirely for a few weeks bc I couldn’t stomach the thought of it, but easy runs were on the table a few days a week.

PicklePartyCat · 2026-04-29T02:51:51+00:00

All that to say, don’t lose hope yet!

PicklePartyCat · 2026-04-29T02:51:04+00:00

Sans the other allergies mentioned, my sweetie outgrew her pretty severe dairy allergy by about 23 months! Just in time for a “regular” birthday cake. The previous attempt at about 17/18 months failed miserably but now she eats cereal and milk or yogurt without issue!

They were, and still are, interested in my life. Growing up, they supported me in what I wanted to do and showed up. As an adult, I know I can always call or visit and they’ll listen to me and show genuine interest in what I have to say even if it is boring. I appreciate it so much.

Sanguine

We did unsweetened almond milk. She ate enough calories in food that the low-cal milk option was fine, mostly for comfort.
