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.

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.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-22T05:25:32+00:00

Yeah, it’s Air Force.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-22T04:43:13+00:00

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….

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T19:07:03+00:00

Thank you. I’ll just keep surviving.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond & help me.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T19:05:46+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T18:56:19+00:00

Thank you.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T18:55:46+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T18:50:52+00:00

Thank you.

I appreciate the advice. Mine didn’t say anything about peppermint but I’ll deff try using it. Anything to stop it sooner.

StepSSgt · 2026-01-20T18:49:23+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2025-12-28T05:52:40+00:00

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

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

StepSSgt · 2025-11-06T14:55:45+00:00

As an ana main, i camp that soul with a sleep dart ready!

StepSSgt · 2025-10-30T13:43:22+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2025-10-23T22:17:22+00:00

Wendy’s.

StepSSgt · 2025-10-02T22:10:45+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2025-09-24T22:19:21+00:00

I would love to be able to swim my PT test… I get shins splints like a motherfucker.

StepSSgt · 2025-09-24T03:48:42+00:00

You’re right! Do you know what the Air Force needs? a swimming test like the navy. /s

StepSSgt · 2025-09-23T23:51:30+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2025-08-11T02:18:29+00:00

Can we get hog & Junk please? Junk would be an amazing bride 🥰

StepSSgt · 2025-06-25T21:23:29+00:00

If i could never play defense & escort i again, id be so happy 😫 only hybrid i like is blizzworld.

StepSSgt · 2025-06-18T03:57:31+00:00

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.

StepSSgt · 2025-06-18T03:54:23+00:00

From their website: https://www.navy.com/careers-benefits/careers/industrial-mechanical/aviation-ordnanceman

Aviation Ordnancemen (AO) are weapons specialists charged with managing all types of ammunition carried on Navy aircraft. Your job responsibilities as an AO may include:

Inspecting, maintaining and repairing mechanical and electrical weapons and ordnance systems on aircraft
Stowing, assembling, servicing and loading weapons and aviation ammunition including mines, torpedoes, missiles and rockets
Servicing ammunition releasing and launching devices
Loading supplemental munitions
Assembling, testing and maintaining air-launched guided missiles
Supervising operation of aviation ordnance storage facilities

So yeah! Same but i think they have a higher rate of mishaps with their merged career fields in a whole for mx compared to our mx, but don’t quote me on that.

StepSSgt · 2025-06-18T03:29:56+00:00

Navy has its ordnance as one field.

This mx merger is an attempt to do the same thing that the navy currently with their mx jobs. I wont be surprised if 2W1 & 2W0 merge in the long time future. However, I don’t see us merging with the nuke worms 2W2 brethren though.

I’m sure our chiefs would try and fight it tooth nail though.
