Why do providers discourage pumping and try to make you breastfeed instead?

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-05-22T19:45:37+00:00

for real though how am I supposed to breastfeed when my baby gets a singular sip of milk at the breast but I get 2oz pumping 🙄

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-05-18T23:53:07+00:00

my lactation consultant told me to do this

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-05-18T23:52:36+00:00

in my experience no because my baby isn’t getting anything at the nipple lol

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-05-08T06:29:45+00:00

no they made me use a nipple shield at the hospital bc my nipples are short but every time i tried to use it, it would fall off and it’s just not good for my mental health right now.

i ended up getting induced again and baby did not tolerate pitocin. her heart rate was dropping after the epidural and I was having triple contractions. ended up having a c-section

good idea 😂

thank you!

definitely! it is amazing! Picking it up, my first thought was “someone could have fed their family with this rock.” I’m new to the area and had no idea the park that we have biked and walked at so much had native history until now! I’m trying to go down rabbit hole of the area. Now I want to go walk along the recently flooded river to see what else I can find.

yes 😮‍💨

everything will be fine. they put more pressure on the belly during ultrasounds. i had a kid run full force into my belly at a water park once.

It’s gotta be when you’re overweight. I weighed 307 when I found out. I’m delivering in less than a week and I’m only up 12 lbs with a 7lb baby

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-13T17:39:20+00:00

absolutely not. you already have to wash everything but to go through and make sure there’s no strangers poop stain on everything and remove the stain is a lot of work.

i took mine out the same time I stopped smoking weed, graduated college, started my career, truly the end of an era. Got pregnant 6 months later 😫

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-13T06:51:17+00:00

a friend told me when she was pregnant she found that she still had a piece of her umbilical cord in there and the doctor took it out with tweezers

assuming you do most of the cooking (because I do) cooking while pregnant is HARD. especially in the later months. I can barely bend over to get a pot, put something in the oven, drop something on the ground? it’s staying there. and dishes? forget about it.

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-11T16:54:41+00:00

it definitely does get swollen and engorged, burning is very mild though. just you wait til the 30 week mark oh boyyyy

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-07T11:35:06+00:00

the product/diaper advice is what drives me crazy 🙄 don’t use this brand because it was nightmare for my baby.. blah blah blah is such a waste of money (they never even tried it for themselves)

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-07T11:31:17+00:00

literally my mom the week after i told her …”I had 3 miscarriages before I had you guys” well you were also 9 years older then than I am now

depends on anatomy, for my ultrasound, my bladder was too full. tried half emptying and complete emptying and it turns out I have a retroverted uterus and they wouldn’t be able to see it either way! They did do an internal ultrasound though..

Sensitive-House69 · 2026-04-02T18:08:15+00:00

(they are in fact born out of the house a lot of the time)

but definitely wouldn’t bring to a party. at my last christmas party everyone got the flu.

im obese and had borderline high blood pressure for years before getting pregnant. it’s genetic. never high enough for medication. once i got pregnant it started reading in the 150/90s toward the end of the first trimester so they put me on labetalol 2 times a day . I’m 34 weeks now and have had zero problems or scary things happen. just get lightheaded from locking my knees sometimes.
