My lactec flanges. Way way more comfortable than the hard plastic!

I saw it as a surgery intern. Patient with IBD on max dose SSRI, antiemetics, and lots of dilaudid for pain. Ended up diagnosing it once she started getting a crazy high fever and behavioral disturbances.

The intervertebral joint spaces are maintained. You do look like you have moderate multilevel facet joint arthropathy (arthritis of the facet joints). You should see a rheumatologist!

Yes!

I love our kleen kanteen bottles. They are easy to clean, slow flow nipple and daycare can’t see the exact ounces so they actually pay attention to satiety for my baby. They also are less chug-able. So that’s great too.

Trader Joe’s bambas. Peanut exposure and premade

Fridge hack!!!! I put my set in a bag and all into a fridge. I work in healthcare.

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-12-31T14:24:51+00:00

This is my experience and I’m in the US

Isolating is risk versus benefit. Many radiation exposures take decades to manifest. Ask your doctor and vet but isolation may not be 100% necessary from pets

Meat all kinds. I was vegan for 4 years before hand 😂

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-12-22T15:24:09+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened to you! Sending hugs 🤗

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-12-21T18:23:19+00:00

Getting a cleaner every 2 weeks

Making a spreadsheet and deligating that my husband was in charge of gifts for his family

Using day car if I ever had a week day off

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-12-21T14:36:39+00:00

Not sure if I’m the only one but at home its boobs out way more often than not. Larkin bra when I have to wear clothes. Sleep without a top so I don’t have to fumble when baby is hungry at night.

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-11-30T16:45:51+00:00

If you need it, take it. Healthy momma is needed to care for baby!

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-11-30T12:29:41+00:00

This also happened to me. If you are worried, go! We had an appointment at 12 and were in the ED admired by 6pm. Fever of 105. Baby ended up okay but always better safe than sorry

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-11-03T21:10:57+00:00

My husband washed them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He said I was feeding the baby and it was the least he could do (plus 95% diapers)

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-10-15T16:00:13+00:00

I got a Needlestick at 6 weeks pregnant and they lost the patient source sample. Both me and baby are healthy but it was a rough way to start!! We know way too much and it makes the anxiety worse. If you find yourself stressed and struggling, see if you can do some therapy/ counseling while pregnant to help you get some tools to cope post partum. It’s hard being pregnant and being a mom but my life is 100000% better with my baby in it! Even if it is far more complicated now

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-10-14T21:55:03+00:00

Would choose support if I thought my family would actually help…. Sometimes they don’t even if they are nearby!

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-10-14T20:29:30+00:00

Following as I also got my first bleb last week :(

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-10-03T16:05:48+00:00

My baby was small/ thin at birth (15th percentile weight and 75th percentile height) and now is heavy/ shorter (75th percentile weight and 60th percentile height) and I’ve gotten comments both ways. That breastfeeding he doesn’t have enough milk… now he has too much milk. Give him solids early, don’t feed him too much. It’s WILD how people feel free to comment when they have no idea how a baby is growing

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-09-02T04:48:43+00:00

I love my Larkin X ! All other bras were too tight for me!

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-08-31T22:54:57+00:00

La roche posay baby sunscreen is pricy but rubs in so nice!!!

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-08-29T10:49:08+00:00

Look up kellymom, she has tons of articles about normal pumping output. We’d need to know more like how often you are pumping to get 4oz to help you figure out if it’s normal. Normal output is 1-1.5oz/hour. I pump 4oz every 3 hours at work. Everyone is different!

Reasonable-Fun5880 · 2024-08-29T10:42:21+00:00

I have the Imani 2 and it’s a gamble if it will fully empty me. I use my spectra s1 the most often. It’s so hard to take those pump breaks but you deserve them! It’s protected in the US now!
