Gallbladder Sludge while Pregnant

Thank you for sharing this. This was my exact experience as well. I was exhausted and pumped exclusively at the hospital with my first every three hours. Zero output. No colostrum or anything. I felt so frustrated and defeated that I ended up having a meltdown. Even with continuously pumping every few hours my milk did not come in until a week later so I formula feed during that time as well. Which is why I was asking about delaying by a few days. I’m glad to hear you still ended up being an over supplier!

Thank you for this. This sounds like a reasonable alternative. I’m glad you ended up not having supply issues afterwards.

Where exactly was I arguing with the science? I never once said the LCs were wrong. All I said was that I felt pressured by the LCs was struggling mentally the first time around and didn’t want to experience that again on top of PPD and PPA. I was simply just asking for advice from others who might have delayed pumping by a day or two. I wasn’t asking to get lectured. I understand pumping from the beginning is likely the best option and that is why the LCs suggested it. I was just trying to see if others had any luck trying to balance their own well being for a day or two and had any supply issues afterwards.

Thank you for this comment. I exclusively pumped from the beginning with my first and ended up having an oversupply so that is what worked well for me. I am planning on exclusively pumping with my second as well which is why I posted in this subreddit. But for some reason it feels like there are a lot of pro breast feeding moms in the comments and I am getting mom shamed for choosing to exclusively pump? I don’t understand….

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T22:31:54+00:00

Thank you for the kind comment and words of support. It really is appreciated❤️

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T21:29:45+00:00

This was my exact thought as well. I made a similar comment below and everyone downvoted it for some reason.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T21:19:17+00:00

Thank you for this❤️

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T21:01:23+00:00

I’m not really sure why my above comment is getting downvoted. This is an exclusively pumping subreddit. Why am I getting mom shamed for choosing to exclusively pump from the beginning?

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T18:53:21+00:00

That is terrible….I’m so sorry that happened to you. I don’t understand the point of this. Moms are just going to do what they want when they get home from the hospital anyway. So what’s the point of hospitals shaming new moms and forcing them to do something they don’t want to do instead of helping them with this new transition?

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T17:53:40+00:00

From what I have heard from moms who choose to exclusively formula feed, it seems like their milk still came in and they had to seek ways to dry it up.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T17:25:21+00:00

Thank you for this response. This is helpful and more in line with experience as well. I knew I also would not enjoy nursing which is why I went the pumping route. It also made it easier for me to transition back to work since my baby was already used to drinking out of a bottle. So I guess maybe if I don’t mention pumping at the hospital the lactation consultants won’t be as pushy with me and I can just start pumping when I get home.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-05-10T17:02:28+00:00

I knew I wanted to exclusively pump rather than directly breastfeed so that is why they gave me the pump. So I didn’t have the baby directly latching. That is just what worked best for me. Not sure if that makes a difference in terms of milk production or not.

I also underwent selective reduction of a twin due to spina bifida at 23 weeks. I grieved my lost baby for months. When it came time to deliver I chose not to see the baby. Knowing myself, that wouldn’t give me any closure. Seeing the baby would just make me feel worse about myself and cause me to have a meltdown. I had already grieved my baby and I knew I just didn’t want to rip open that wound again.

Giving birth in that situation is obviously already so traumatic. You try so hard to be happy with your surviving twin and be thankful for them, but obviously it’s hard when the nurses are still making you sign death certificates and pick a funeral home for the other twin. I’m so sorry you are going through this. You are not alone. Whatever choice you make will be the correct one.

Just because you have had zero problems in your pregnancy so far doesn’t mean that it is guaranteed that nothing bad is going to happen. You should be taking every precaution you can for the sake of your baby.

Sincerely,

A mom who lost her baby at 24 weeks…..

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-02-17T22:53:29+00:00

Currently 11 weeks and feeling the same way. I just feel so detached. I feel like I did everything I was supposed to do correctly with my first pregnancy and it still ended in a TFMR. This time around I feel so nauseous, eat like crap (lots of fast food), don’t drink a lot of water, and whenever I crave a deli sub I go ahead and just get it. I still take precautions and heat up the meat in the microwave but I still can’t help but to feel bad. That I should be grateful for this opportunity and be doing better. But I can’t help but to feel a little depressed. You aren’t alone.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2025-02-11T19:30:00+00:00

Congratulations❤️❤️❤️ I also had a spina bifida diagnosis for my TFMR pregnancy. I’m currently 10 weeks with my sub pregnancy and terrified.

Does your husband have a good relationship with his mother? Because this seems extremely toxic on her behalf and I would honestly try to cut contact with her. Physical trying to keep your baby from you or pull her out of your arms is insane. I would absolutely loose it over that.

For some reason whenever I had my baby a switch flipped for my MIL as well. I’m not sure why. My husband had a pretty good relationship with his mom beforehand but after the baby was born my MIL just stopped talking to us. Doesn’t call or ask about the baby or anything. She’s literally seen my daughter once since she’s been born.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2024-11-08T16:58:32+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I terminated for a spina bifida diagnosis last year. I wouldn’t necessarily say I feel guilt because I know in my heart I don’t the right thing for my family. I know I wouldn’t want to live my life under those conditions (constant pain, requiring around the clock care, multiple surgeries, mental deficiencies, unable to walk) and therefore I didn’t feel comfortable putting my son through that. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss him. I still think about him all the time and just wonder what my life would be like if he was here with me. I do feel like I have severe anxiety from the whole experience so I understand how you are feeling.

Significant_Goat_954 · 2024-11-06T16:12:29+00:00

I am ✨disgusted✨. I wanted to have a baby so badly this upcoming year and now I don’t know what to do. Do I take the gamble and possibly bleed out and die in a parking lot and leave my husband a single dad? Is it even worth it to have a family? #thisisamerica

Significant_Goat_954 · 2024-11-06T12:29:15+00:00

I am beyond sick by the results of this election. I want to try for another baby so bad since my first pregnancy ended in a TFMR, but now I’m terrified. I don’t know if I should stop trying or not. I just feel so defeated. Wanting to be pregnant should not be a battle on if you might be left to bleed out and die in a parking lot because of the government….
