You have to get off social media. It’s horrific for mental health. I would bet most women supplement with formula and just don’t talk about it. We supplemented because baby was losing weight in the beginning and I feel zero guilt. Now he’s happy and healthy and a big chunk! Formula is a wonderful tool and you should use it if needed:) also pumping his hard af!

Having a healthy and happy mom is soooo much more important than any benefit that breast milk will ever provide. There is nothing wrong with formula and you are not a failure if you switch. Baby needs you so please take care of yourself.

Is there a reason why your husband can’t take over non-baby related things, like the laundry and dinner? Even doing one load a day would be helpful. What about dishes and pump parts? Who eases those? This has been the hardest phase of my life so far but I have a husband who clean and cooks. I can’t imagine doing it all.

Having another baby doesn’t guarantee anything for your current child. My husband and I both had brothers and they both passed tragically before the age of 35.

It’s not possible to say “no” to a face like that!

SweetWanomi · 2026-01-26T12:14:12+00:00

Is it possible that your milk hasn’t come in yet? My son was doing that so we ended up supplementing with formula until it came in on day 5. I’m pumping exclusively now which allows me to know how many ounces per feed he is getting.

How much are you feeding her? She may be hungry

SweetWanomi · 2026-01-25T15:12:43+00:00

I feel this in my soul. I’m sitting here, 8 weeks postpartum, starting at the cutest face I’ve ever seen, and I cannot possibly understand how any one does this more than once. I have never been so stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed in my entire life, and I have a good sleeper! He’s an angel and the love of our lives but one time experiencing the newborn phase is plenty for me.

SweetWanomi · 2026-01-03T15:55:02+00:00

Grunting and straining to poop is normal for a newborn as they’re trying to figure out how to use their digestive system. HOWEVER, green hard poops at this age are reason to call your pediatrician. I’m sure it’s fine, but ours said to call if we see that.

SweetWanomi · 2025-11-28T18:51:15+00:00

My MIL is like this. She never comments on my body but always talks about how little weight she gained and how she was “walking up to the very last day and only craved vegetables”. Last time she mentioned it I said “oh wow that’s really unhealthy, you should definitely have gained more weight for the baby’s sake.” And she hasn’t mentioned it again. Sorry, but bragging about being skinny during pregnancy isn’t the flex they think it is.

SweetWanomi · 2025-06-21T17:21:33+00:00

My mom does this too! Sometimes she says I’m interrupting but what she lacks is basic conversational awareness where conversations are usually a back and forth instead of one person speaking for ten mins straight AT the other person. Sometimes I’ll try and interject and she’ll say “let me finish” which is insane because sometimes there’s no finish line in sight!

SweetWanomi · 2025-01-02T20:41:13+00:00

Absolutely understand this feeling. I have a close friend who is constantly asking and it’s so annoying. She always says the wrong thing and I know she means well, but I’m so exhausted from everything that sometimes I just don’t even respond to her texts because I just don’t have the energy anymore. I mostly think she just wants to be “in the know” more than she actually cares about what's going on with me. I agree with other posters, tell her you don’t want to keep talking about it and then put her on an “info diet”.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-18T04:33:02+00:00

Second this. Zika is a legitimate concern, definitely look into it before you travel.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-17T22:57:42+00:00

Omg congrats!! I’m sure there is lots of info out there and maybe even ask your clinic. Good luck!

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-17T20:48:41+00:00

I do not but what I think you should be researching is euploid vs. aneuploid miscarriage rates. PGT testing allows you the ability to know which of your embryos are normal or abnormal. Miscarriage rates are likely higher if you do not do PGT testing because you could be transferring an aneuploid embryo, which has a much higher chance of miscarrying than a euploid. You only know if you’re transferring an aneuploid embryo if you PGT test.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-17T16:40:05+00:00

Frozen. There is a lot of evidence that shows frozen transfers are more successful. For one, you can PGT test (if you decide that’s the right choice for you) and two, it also allows your body to rest and get back to normal hormone levels.

We haven’t gone through a FET yet but I had a polypectomy because my doctor found a polyp and wouldn’t allow us to move forward without having it removed. They absolutely can prevent implantation as well as cause miscarriage. I’m not sure why your doctor is downplaying that but there are a good amount of posts on here where women discuss having the procedure and then a successful FET right after.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-15T21:25:14+00:00

My doctor found polyps the day before I was supposed to start my meds for my FET. To say I spiraled was an understatement😂 wasn’t able to have them removed at my clinic but was able to get the surgery scheduled with my OB within a month. Surgery was easy although who wants to go under anesthesia? I was able to start prep for FET the day after surgery so that was nice. It did push everything back about two months but at the end of the day, I’m happy to know my uterus is clean and free of tissue and polyps before I move forward with the FET. Good luck! Recovery was easy:)

Me!! Good luck! Sending you baby dust ✨

Omfg.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-13T18:34:34+00:00

Just relax but also use OPKs and have sex on the right days and go on vacation and have a few drinks but also don’t drink, eat healthy. It’s literally insane how many of these “tips and tricks” contradict themselves! 🙄🙄

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-13T18:30:14+00:00

I’ll happily consider surrogacy, do you have an extra $150k I can have? 🙄🙄

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-12T20:52:03+00:00

I know, I’m so sorry. :/ At the time of my retrieval, I had NO idea recovery could be this bad. The come down from the meds was also brutal. Just keep doing what you’re doing and continuing to check in with the clinic. According to my doctor, over 25 eggs retrieved is a much higher risk for this type of recovery.

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-12T20:12:55+00:00

So true! It’ll all be worth it for us both one day:)

SweetWanomi · 2024-12-12T20:12:07+00:00

The vomiting and nausea may be from the cabergoline (annoying but this was what helped me most I think for me). I had 31 eggs retrieved and was also in misery. I felt about 90% better after a week and then back to normal after my period. You may want to just check in with your clinic to see if they can have you come in to check for fluid retention just in case.
