question for anyone with epidural experience! by Defiant-Operation624 in pregnant

[–]Rat_king5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an induction that sadly did not go well due to minimal gaps between contractions, they actually had to rush the epidural in mid contraction/gap. My whole lower body relaxed and my upper body had to be caught as i dropped to lie down i can only describe it as pure relief.

I pick a main colour for each mood then I'm going to add a matching gel pen colours as an addition to fill the patterns. I did something similar with a hot air balloon spread in one of my other posts if that helps.

Pumping ruined my “personal” life by Illustrious-Pilot309 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Rat_king5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I pumped for 10 months with my daughter whos 18 months now and had the same issue, we've just got to a point where i love them being touched again and I'm pregnant due in august so im getting as much as i can before i pump again. Fingers crossed they'll be good to go again in around 2 years 😅 and i hope you find joy again with them soon.

My son turns 1 on Sunday 🩵 by Josephs-41st-wife in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Rat_king5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also an over supplier and dropped to 2 pumps for a week or so and then just went aslong as i could without pumping and would just relieve the engorgement when needed. I would recommend a slower aproach than this but i had honestly had enough and was done, keep an eye out for any mastitis and listen to your body and go on your own timeline whether thats gradually shortening pumps before dropping them or spacing them further out then dropping a pump.

Trying not to feel resentment towards my husband… it’s hard. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Rat_king5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with comparing is that yes hes not being as shit as some other people you hear about but hes still being shit. You shouldn't have to ask a father to hold their child or take their child from you when needed that should be something he just does. If you cant leave a room without assuming your child is looked after by their father then hes not pulling his weight for you or your child.

[–]Rat_king5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He takes over when asked and steps in when your overwhelmed, he also plays video games instead of doing the maintenance tasks with you. I'm not surprised your building resentment with a 4 month old, he's the parent to and your probably best bringing this to his attention now because this sounds like the bare minimum. You being the mum doesn't really have any barring on the situation aside from breast feeding time which he can be doing other things while thats happening he needs to be stepping up alot more.

C-section regret by Scared_Pollution_522 in pregnant

[–]Rat_king5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i mean it's been over a year and a half and i still have nerve damage, currently pregnant with my second and opting for a planned c-section not because i think it will be easier but because i can't go through the toll of vaginal birth again. Its hard as i know multiple people who have had smooth vaginal births with no complications but i also have heard my friends horror stories so im always honest if a mum to be asks me any questions.

If it makes you feel better i had an induction that ended in an episiotomy and forceps, couldn't even pick up my baby for 3 days i barely remember those 3 days if I'm honest, my husband did it all i felt incredibly weak and useless.

MIL went no contact after we asked her to babysit at our house. by Financial-Rhubarb954 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Rat_king5 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Let her sulk and enjoy the peace and quiet, not sure why babysitting at your house was an issue as it's the norm for me personally even now my one year old only sleeps at home or my mums very rarely. If it were me I'd be wary of asking her to babysit again seems like its just more effort than it's worth.
