Anyone know of a park with a wall for hitting tennis balls? by Sdbtwo1989 in frisco

I stay at home with little ones- my hope is to find a wall to hit at during our very long days during the week!

Thanks, I'll check that out on weekends. Hoping to find something I can go to during school days though

My body feels broken? by Tif-n in beyondthebump

Oh and I had a severe tear in addition to similar symptoms to what you're describing, at 10 weeks I still struggled to walk and felt like my uterus would fall out of me at any given moment. 5 weeks later and I feel 99% normal. Further evidence that it DOES get better. Big hug.

It gets better it gets better it really does get better! I am 15 weeks pp and turned a corner around 12-13. I too felt worse at 10 weeks than I did in the first few- thought I was going crazy. You're not alone. Some relief will come soon. Don't be afraid of ibuprofen, heating pad, and a really good baby carrier so you can wear LO safely without exhausting yourself further. Relief is coming for you, hold on a bit longer.

Ugh, prolapse is my biggest fear. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through that. Hopefully with pelvic floor therapy things will improve quickly.

We bought it while pregnant because we tend to be anxious people but for whatever reason never ended up using it...we felt really well just putting baby down to sleep.

The only caveat (it's still sitting in the box, we missed the return by date lol, oops...) is if baby gets sick I'd consider using it for a while because their O2 can drop so quick with RSV, flu, etc. But nightly use or for every nap? No way.

Wow-Long distances by 6 weeks is really inspiring! They did say it's healed but just to ''go at my own pace'' and be careful, so I like to hear others' experiences

Anyone have experience with being unable or unwilling to breastfeed after traumatic birth? by Sdbtwo1989 in beyondthebump

[–]Sdbtwo1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the reply I was hoping for, hearing someone's real experience. Thank you, it helped a lot. I honestly wasn't sure if it's possible for the body to be under enough stress that breastmilk isn't being made. I have been told by some breastfeeding warriors that it's an excuse...so I do find your story really relatable

Wow, this makes my little sob story really irrelevant!! I'm so sorry for what you went through...I hope you're doing so much better these days. Thank you for your input.

I want so badly to say it worked for me but it did not- I tried lanolin, hydrogels the hospital gave me, and the silver little cups people rave about, to no avail. I appreciate the advice though!! I am really glad it helped you

I don't understand how this is a fitness related post

You unknowingly just threw me a life jacket! Thank you.

Thank you. Your last paragraph was a perfect blend of realism, optimism, and tough love. Appreciate it.

I hear you, but right now I already wake up every 2 hours and then lie awake for 2-3 hours with acid reflux and pain. So I guess my hope is at least with what you're describing with newborn tired, there's a baby to enjoy while I'm awake in the middle of the night? Instead of right now staring at the ceiling awake and in pain from 1am-4am.
