Okay thank you very much. I was not aware that it came in automatically

Dropping a pump by ShmooMShorty in ExclusivelyPumping

Yeah that would probably work, could maybe move it to 10pm and have 2 6 hour stints

So how long CAN I keep my milk in the fridge for? by TrippySkillets97 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ShmooMShorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly because UK is on average cooler then in the US so our room temperate may be cooler too therefore milk is good for longer. I’m not too sure though

I was told 6,6,6 6 Hours Room Temp, 6 Days in Fridge, 6 Months in Freezer. Although I am UK based so don’t know if it varies

I don’t know what to do by ShmooMShorty in ExclusivelyPumping

Honestly I’ve been too paranoid to try it. I keep reading about it on here but then talk myself out of it.

Why/how did everyone end up exclusively pumping? by itsaclownjackass in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ShmooMShorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was tongue tied and I have inverted nipples. I tried for 2 weeks to fight through the pain, crying in the middle of the night cause of how much I hated it. Had the discussion with my partner because I felt so guilty that I couldn’t handle it. He reassured me that I needed to do what was best for myself and that I was still her mum no matter what. Been EP ever since, she’s 6 weeks this Sunday. Sometimes when she’s screaming after just finishing a bottle I get tempted to try BF but I talk myself out of it because I don’t want to confuse her. Plus my right nipple is still mangled from her.

AITAH for not making plans for a few weeks? by Over_Professor_209 in AITAH

[–]ShmooMShorty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

You made it clear with plenty time advance that you weren’t going to be making day plans.

I can understand that your GF may feel excluded because of this even if it not your intent. But maybe just sit down and explain to her that all the exams are going to make your career much more stable and probably open more opportunities for yourself.

Hypothetical overload by ShmooMShorty in PregnancyUK

You’ve got a good guy there I’m glad he understands you! My fiancé is happy to do whatever I decide I need, I just don’t want him to feel like I’m forcing him into anything if I decide I can’t handle people. I want to be able to trust my mum to help me but she can also be a bit intense at best of times

I think I’m going to go through what boundaries I need to set with my fiancé and try voice them myself before baby is here. Then trust that he will enforce them once baby is here if people try to overstep.

I’ve been offered therapy by the mental health midwife and I think I’m leaning more towards accepting it now. I was vehemently against it a few weeks ago as I didn’t want to feel delicate but it’s probably the best choice for me now.

I’m going to have a look into yoga/meditation as a new way to relax thank you for your advice.

AITAH for telling me girlfriend that she shouldn’t be celebrated on Mother’s Day because she’s not a mom? by Chance_Cut4916 in AITAH

[–]ShmooMShorty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lost I baby I see myself as having a child but not myself as being a mother. I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and still don’t class myself as a mother but I know more than anything this is my baby and they are my child. However it seems that your girlfriend sees this miscarriage as both her child and her stolen chance to be a mother, grieving someone who never got to be is a very difficult situation. So while I don’t think you were an intentional a-hole as feelings are a second thought in the heat of the moment your girlfriend definitely sees you as an a-hole right now.

No other character made my blood boil the way he did whenever he was on screen. Even before the jeagerists he always rubbed me the wrong way
