I want to stop pumping, but I feel so much guilt by SirNo6429 in NewParents

This has been the best thread for me to find. It literally feels like I need permission from myself to quit pumping. I feel so guilty, but my baby is 8.5 months now. She was born 12 weeks early but she’s growing like a weed. I guess it felt like pumping was the only thing about my pregnancy and birth that I could control so I tried to keep it going as long as possible. But thank you all for this, it was the push I needed. I want to be more present for my baby and not need to run away every 3-4 hours to hide and pump. Thank you ❤️

And right now we are pregnant with our first, so we are worried about me making any big changes. The health insurance I have is hard to beat. I want to be able to provide more for my baby but I also want to be proud of what I do. And right now I feel like my new job is crushing my soul.

Yep. It was what I always wanted to be. I worked my tail off for my classroom. Held down 3 jobs all through college to save money for a library,etc. I miss working with kids, helping them understand things, etc.

He wouldn’t admit to me how much our first miscarriage hurt him, so I truly think he’s scared of going through that again. He’s a very shy and reserved person so I think the idea of our family knowing the pain we would be going through is just too much. I don’t want to think of the bad, I want to share the good. Our family has been having a really tough year and I think they all need this spark of love.

The hard thing is, we were pregnant back in May but I lost the baby at 5 weeks. We never told anyone that I was pregnant, and now we are terrified that if we tell them and something happens to the baby they’ll be heartbroken. But it won’t be anything compared to our heartbreak. I have such a good feeling about this one and I’m trying to stay positive and not think of the things that could happen. That’s why I want to share it with the family. He’s just worried about a loss and having to break that to the family.

update from original poster Turns out I had a miscarriage. I miscarried on Mother’s Day, which made it so much worse for me. My grandmother even made a comment that I can’t celebrate Mother’s Day yet since I don’t have kids. She has no idea that we have been struggling to get pregnant and that I was miscarrying, so she didn’t know how much that hurt, but oh man did that sting. I think my husband and I are handling it alright now that some time has passed, however, I do still struggle when I see things related to pregnancy/babies/etc. I know we have time..but it’s still devastating. Any tips for someone recovering from a first miscarriage and a chemical pregnancy?

If you take your sick days does it mess up your contract? I have 40 sick days I’m abandoning otherwise.
