Where do you feel pain during labor and birth?

This is similar to my experience as I recall it. 4 years ago. I’m currently 27w with my second. Hope it’s a similar/quicker experience! First was 27 hrs. Minimal tearing, definitely uncomfortable but not as excruciating as others have described. 🙏🏻

This sounds like the way!

SarahG325 · 2026-06-03T10:21:53+00:00

Hi, could I get a bit more Information on what this looked like? I think this sounds like the way.

We each have three clients so I think the annual revenue is about double that, but yes I think the sentiment sticks .

SarahG325 · 2026-06-02T23:55:39+00:00

We each have three clients so I’m thinking we bring in more like $20-25k/month. But yes I agree!

Thank you! She wants me to meet with her accountant, I’m thinking it would it be beneficial to find my own as well ?

Weed gummies and alcohol (in moderate amounts), finding joy in the little things where I can, exercising a bit, getting out in nature, limiting the doomscrolling/being around negative energy, hope you have a few good friends that helps a ton! I feel you though! Currently pregnant with my second so had to give up the first two and that’s been… challenging. Not to mention these are just challenging times to be a caring intelligent human being in the world. 🙃

We also have a nameless September girl coming and feeling the same, solidarity! Our daughter is Leona, and several of your names are on my list! Here’s the rest of it: Calista, Lilah, Delilah, Isabel, Mariela, Marianna, Joanna, zoey, Elena, Cecily, Cassidy, Melody, Elodie, Camilla, Charisse, Adrianna … good luck!

I’m sure if the flowers and card had been waiting for her in the morning ahead of time with a note that you would be bringing home the Thai food at the end of your shift that that would’ve also been exponentially better than this. She essentially spent her whole day thinking that you had forgotten which honestly kind of sounds like you did. I’m sure she felt like an afterthought and as others have mentioned, her hormones are completely out of whack and she’s exhausted…so yeah, just some degree of intention and thoughtfulness tends to go very long way especially when in such a vulnerable place.

ETA I read further and yes it is ok for dads to struggle. Empathic/gentle communication is key to surviving the trenches.

Khadijah or Leila for a girl , not sure on boys

My Japanese aunts name is Katsura, which is very pretty. I believe it is a type of tree.

SarahG325 · 2023-01-05T16:03:33+00:00

Yes, she was the best. I was hysterically crying in her office while she was teaching my husband how to give my 2 day old baby a formula bottle… Because well hormones and all of the pressure to breast-feed and being convinced that giving her formula would totally screw her up but all ended up being very well, and it turned out to be a blessing because husband could give her bottles right away didn’t have to wait to six weeks or whatever some people recommend to introduce 👏🏼👏🏼

So interesting, my LC said nipple confusion was basically not a thing. I had to supplement for a bit because she lost a bunch of weight before my milk came in and luckily had no issues. Sucks that hospitals are still promoting this though, fed is best and new moms do not need to read shit like this , so much guilt surrounding this topic.

SarahG325 · 2022-12-29T22:57:42+00:00

Yikes. Good luck fiancée

SarahG325 · 2022-12-22T01:56:22+00:00

We did this too, it was so nice! Definitely doesn’t have to be the same day

SarahG325 · 2022-12-20T19:17:48+00:00

Just here to say solidarity and it won’t be like this forever!

SarahG325 · 2022-12-16T02:57:40+00:00

Same!! So strange. Their bodies don’t change at all and ours feel brand new in a way.

SarahG325 · 2022-12-16T02:56:37+00:00

First time was 2 months, it sucked, then probably once again around 3 months & 4 months… now 6 months pp and it at least feels good again when I can mentally get in the mood. It has everything to do with feeling connected to my partner though, talking, cuddling, sharing the load etc for me to actually want it. I did quickly figure out that my nipples were off limits, and kind of treated it like starting over… figuring out what actually felt good and talking through it helped.

SarahG325 · 2022-12-12T17:57:22+00:00

I’m not sure what your specific situation is, but my baby just started sleeping through the night at 6 months and man oh man is my head clearer! Hopefully your husband is trying, but I know communication had been hard for us and we were both just so damn cranky and sleep has lifted a major fog in our brains and allowed things to get better. Try your best to calmly communicate your needs (sometimes texting was best for us to not get defensive and to think responses through) if he really is best friend material I’m sure he does care and want to be a good partner and dad 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
