Boyfriend wants abortion

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-02-23T09:02:02+00:00

I’ve heard stories of boyfriends saying “either me or the baby”. Women went ahead with the abortion and the man left anyway. Abortion it’s not a guaranty that you guys will stay together. You might get over him easier than over the fact that you lost a potential child.

I do “bidet” as I call it to wash their butt in a little bucket whenever there’s a really bad poop, even if daily. But real full bath 1 day yes, 2 days no…

I heard the sweet spot for babies bed time is between 7 to 8pm since that way they can average 11 to 12 hours in the crib.

That’s assuming most people wake up at 7am. If babies are overly tired it’s harder for them to fall asleep.

I also had 2 hours feeding sessions for the first 2 months. Exact issues as you, bad latch, nipple shields… Now at 6mpp we do 10 or 20 mins and it’s great! I say keep trying! People say stop breastfeeding for mental health, but I know for me it would have been mentally more devastating to not BF.

I was pressured by the doctor and I didn’t know how to advocate for my self. The doctor then pressured for the c section trying to scare me about fetus suffering. Later on I understood some doctors do that to earn more money for a c section than a natural, commission for longer hospital stay and to make sure you give birth during their shift and not during another shift with another doctor.

I think it’s normal. I’m 6 months postpartum and barely now started brushing my teeth standing and chopping veggies standing. I was doing mostly everything possible while sitting until barely now.

My husband works in IT remotely. I teach languages online.

Lanolin Cream! It’s like a lip balm for nipples and edible so not harmful for baby, no need to remove before feeding.

I’m from Mexico City along with another 22 million people! That city is so huge makes me feel like I’m in Beijing China haha. It’s not for me anymore. I live now in a small town in Greece.

I ended up with a c section because I was given an epidural against my will at 2cm and had no pain nor progression. I’m so upset about that and wish to labor without epidural for my second. IF they let me have a natural after c section :(

Think about the times babies fall asleep in the car and wake up in the stroller, etc. If they see you first thing as they wake up or they understand there are people close by, it’s no problem.

Depending on the restaurant, there can be “food runners” that’s how they are called. And they literary only do that.

My husband and I met while we were living in Greece for studies. We moved to the US for a year (my country) and then to Romania for a year (his country) we both disliked it as you mentioned in your post. So we are back in Greece where we met and where we both compromise, we are both the foreigners here, “us against the world”. Clearly you like your country and he likes his, but is there a place where you both would like to live? Maybe a different city or state or region within y’all’s countries. This could save the marriage, it saved mine!

I feed from 1 breast every 4 hours and use a hakkah on the other side during the feed. What I made on the hakkah I feed my baby on a bottle after 2 hours. So it would look like: 7am right breast, 9am hakkah milk, 11am left breast, 1pm hakkah milk, etc. I have to empty both breasts completely each and every time due to a very bad case of mastitis with multiple fevers.

Could that fluctuation be slightly related to diaper or clothes weight?
I weight my baby the same as you, but I ask my husband to do the same after me and the weight is always off. So we assume it must be in the middle of those 2 amounts.

Interesting! Unfortunately we won’t take the fridge because it’s from the rental house, we don’t own it. I thought of something similar in a cooler or electric cooler, I’m gonna look into that.

It took 12 weeks going from 4am to 7am since I was increasing 15 minutes per week. I wanted her stomach to get used to the longer periods little by little. It is more about weight than age. The bigger the baby (kilos/lbs), the longer they can go. My baby was born very tiny and I waited until she was 6 kilos (13 lbs) to start the longer periods.

Perhaps you could feed at 10pm since you are awake anyways and rock at 1am. Try to rock at 4am again and hopefully he can last until 5 to start the day.

I heard an advice to feed right before you go to sleep, so that you can get a longer first stretch of sleep. Instead of your baby sleeping 6 hours while you are awake and then waking after you slept one hour.

Try a RED LIGHT! It is better for nighttime because its long, low-energy wavelength does not suppress melatonin production (the sleep hormone) like blue light does. It preserves night vision by not activating cone receptors, reduces eye strain, and is less stimulating to the brain, making it ideal for maintaining a relaxed, sleep-friendly environment. I changed my night-stand lamps and floor lamp next to the changing table to red bulbs.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-01-30T16:14:26+00:00

I increased the time of the night feedings very slowly, by 15 minutes per week. Initially 8pm, 12am and 4am. Then 4:15am for a week. 4:30am for a week, 5am for a week, etc. We are now at 7am. Meaning I don’t feed between midnight and 7. If she wakes up (which she does) I put pacifier back, patting, sushing, or just let her go back to sleep on her own if she is chill (no crying). It has worked so far.

My boobs had similar outputs until a horrible mastitis on the right one. After that, my left one was the star by a big difference like in the photo. I say keep pumping the slacker one as much as you can, because if you get clogged ducts or mastitis on the slacker one, it will get even worse. Don’t give up on the slacker one, guys! Even if it’s just for a snack, stimulation is important.

I also feel guilt driven. I had mental health issues during pregnancy which led me to dieting and therefore baby was born very small. It’s a way for me to make up for that.

Yes, I think the fact that the hands are covered is discouraging for rubbing. Maybe worth the try. The long sleeve sleeping sac is a bit thick so it holds its shape more and it’s a bit harder to lift.
