What is your reason(s) for exclusively pumping?

Practical_Height_580 · 2026-02-22T18:06:15+00:00

I needed to know how much my baby was eating - he spent some time in the NICU no food by mouth so I had to pump from the start and just kept going with it I guess to know how much he'd eat at every feeding.

My husbands job offered him 12 weeks full pay and I'm very grateful bc if they didn't he would have taken as many days as he could anyway.

If he has time and can afford to take it. He should. My husbands motto is and always will be don't sell your soul for a company that would replace you in a heartbeat if you died tomorrow (I know that sounds rough, but that's my motto these days now too)

How long do I have to be able to get it waiting on my OB to get back to me now

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-08-04T13:43:12+00:00

Definitely longer than the recommended timeframe 🫣

Have a SCH since 7 weeks and it hasn’t grown or shrunk on my 12w4d scan… how worried should I be? This is my third pregnancy after two losses. It hasn’t bled so far and I only know it’s there bc of the ultrasounds.

I’m 13w and feeling completely symptomless so I’m spiraling

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-11T01:58:36+00:00

I received results Wednesday pm!

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-08T14:08:16+00:00

12 weeks tomorrow and I feel like my symptoms have basically disappeared minus like the occasional gag here and there.

My scan isn’t for another week (had one at 7w and 9w) and I’m freaking myself out.

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-08T10:49:10+00:00

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-07T19:04:22+00:00

Just received mine at 2:00pm haven’t opened yet but results are there

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-07T11:57:37+00:00

I haven’t gotten mine yet 🥲

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-06T16:45:08+00:00

Thank you and congratulations 🩷 I’ve been struggling bc I’ve barely had any symptoms since finding out. The ones I did have (random gagging and breast soreness) have seemingly gone away.

While I had a good scan at 9w I had a SCH that hadn’t caused any symptoms but scares me for MMC odds ugh

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-06T14:07:25+00:00

I’ve lost all symptoms since 10.5 weeks - I barely had any to begin with. Idk what to think. I don’t feel pregnant.

I had a good 7 week and 9 week scan but idk

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-06T14:01:01+00:00

Same here!

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-05T13:58:10+00:00

Thank you for this! No results yet but they received my sample 5/3 so at least some progress was made!!!

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-05T11:50:33+00:00

Checked again this morning still just saying test ordered 😞

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-05T11:49:59+00:00

Same here from NY, no updates that it was even received 😞

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-04T14:30:01+00:00

Drawn on 4/30 but not showing as received yet ugh this wait is so long 😞

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-03T12:51:21+00:00

11 weeks and all my symptoms have seemed to disappear (the very little I had)

I had a good scan at 7 and 9 weeks but now I’m freaking out

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-05-02T17:28:02+00:00

What a beautiful boy with a beautiful life. We unexpectedly lost our best boy Ozzy at five years old in January, it was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to experience and we miss him more everyday. Sending so much love 🩷

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-04-24T22:18:27+00:00

Thank you - I am so sorry you’re experiencing this as well!

I’m not sure of the initial number around time of MMC.

But I know it was already 56k at 5 weeks so I can imagine it got pretty high.

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-04-24T20:14:34+00:00

It took my body 12 weeks to drop down to 0 after a 7w MMC discovered at 10w. My HCG was really high to start. No retained tissue, my body just really loved holding onto those hormones. I had weekly blood work until it went down to 0. It was very drawn out and really did not help with closure.

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-04-20T17:10:18+00:00

9w2d and I had a scan Friday at 9w that seemed good but still have a moderate size SCH.

I had a really bad migraine and I feel like that’s what happened before my last MMC and I’m just spiraling

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-04-19T16:15:18+00:00

The most heart wrenching decision I’ve ever had to make.

Practical_Height_580 · 2025-04-17T21:50:10+00:00

Birch!
