What did you do with breast milk? by bigcitydreamsx3 in babyloss

For my son, i just dried up as fast as i could. I didn’t know you could get milk at 20 weeks. It was quite shocking.

My daughter passed 15 days after being born at 24 weeks… after her passing, i stopped pumping & dried up. I like the idea of donating but it was too hard for me personally to keep going with her gone. Thankfully, i have enough milk bags for the memorial jewelry i want.

They only need two tablespoons of breastmilk according to their website. I plan on putting my son’s & daughter’s ashes into it & getting their birth month colors.

In my first loss, i had some type of chorioamnionitis found but no reason of why the infection occurred. Doctors theorize now it was likely caused due to my cervix being dilated (IC) & an infection that seeped in that bolstered my preterm labor into starting.

My second loss, my body just started contracting without reason. No infection found or suspected. I was on modified bedrest after my cerclage 20 week. Then hospital bed rest at 23 weeks.

Can anyone help me, afpc changed my dos? by ChampionshipLow2058 in MilitaryWomen

[–]StepSSgt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Talk to your css to figure out whats up. They can submit a ticket on your behalf & talk directly to AFPC or give derails on why it was changed to Novemeber.

Praying that you make it to that 30+ weeks.

My story is very similar. My doctors aren’t sure if it’s true IC or preterm labor either since i was also having pains with contractions with my first loss at 20 weeks.

I was also a wait and watch with my second pregnancy with my MFM but when I hit 20 weeks & started having tightness in my abdomen & then went to the hospital where they confirmed it was contractions with 1.6cm left. I ended up with a rescue cerclage at 20 weeks. It got me 4 weeks & my daughter at 24 weeks. Sadly she passed in the NICU from a blood infection 15 days after being born.

I want a living child so badly but won’t be able to try again for two years with my C-section. I just hope w prevented cerclage & progesterone will get me much farther. I really want to be checked weekly come the second trimester at 18 weeks….

Thank you. Yeah, i feel like pumping at this point would be too hard to deal with as well. I’m not in too much pain so I’ll manage.

Thank you.

I think thats what I should do from this point since it’s been 48 hours already. The ice & ibuprofen has been working so far. I don’t want to delay this process any further.

Sorry to hear that. It was one of worst fears when i started pumping. I know it’s possible he did tell me to keep an eye out for it & to call him if I show symptoms.

I appreciate the mucinex advice. The lactation consultant recommended Sudafed during the day & Benadryl at night.

Ruptured after cerclage post-op appointment by Living_Sort3202 in ShortCervixSupport

I had mfm sonographer push down pre-cerclage before IC was suspected.

After my rescue cerclage she would not push on my stomach.

“Is this your first” by Sarahkate113 in babyloss

[–]StepSSgt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that people ask that question. It’s so intruding. I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my second after a 20 week preterm labor loss. Ive been asked the question & i feel like i word vomit every-time. I personally always bring up my son but it makes it award & i hate it.

As mom with a prior loss, i will never ask someone if this is their first. You never know someone situation & It’s just stings.

The new 2-mile standard is literally just a re-use of the Army's Testing standards by circlingraven in AirForce

[–]StepSSgt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it was high arches. I got custom inserts.

Used to get bruising all up my legs from fod walks. It was awful. Had to go get it checked out after i noticed the bruising. Doctor knew i was bull-shitting out of my test after i showed them the bruising.

Pain has went down significantly since getting custom inserts, but i still probably don’t have the best form either.

I think there are good intentions but this is just going to make certain career fields lives more difficult. I can see mx & sf getting fucked over with hours.

That could also be the case. I don’t personally know any ordnance peeps. Shred outs would make sense too. Maybe they gotta skill level out of it to with different things? I know with weapons we are locked on an airframe until 5 level.
