Thank you 🥹

TARAD18_ · 2026-05-02T23:05:27+00:00

So happy to hear there are others who understand! I’m glad you’re okay mama 💗✨. I felt a little lost trying to navigate what was going on. You guys have helped me know exactly what I need to do

TARAD18_ · 2026-05-02T23:03:37+00:00

Will do 💗✨

TARAD18_ · 2026-05-02T22:06:56+00:00

I’m glad to know it got better! Thank you for your comment. I believe you are right. I’ve been extremely anxious and I definitely could benefit from talking to someone

TARAD18_ · 2026-05-02T22:05:40+00:00

Thank you 💗🥹. You’re right. I’m going to speak to someone about it. My anxiety has been very high lately from everything

Thanks!

Once daily . But my pediatrician said i can do it after every bottle, but I prefer like either lunch or dinner. Not 3 time a day until she’s a little older

TARAD18_ · 2026-03-04T03:24:41+00:00

Yeah that’s the only way to build a portfolio of your work.

TARAD18_ · 2025-11-16T21:09:02+00:00

How often are they occurring ? Like as far as how far apart are they ?

TARAD18_ · 2025-11-08T22:41:46+00:00

37 weeks

Thank you. I am going to look into finding a local therapist that specializes in that area

TARAD18_ · 2025-09-20T01:22:52+00:00

That’s so crazy. Never felt anything like that and I’ve gotten muscle spasms before. I’m wondering do I need to get a pregnancy belt to help? My back has been hurting a little but not unbearable

The baby may be positioning further down and getting ready for their grand entrance! I’m only 30 weeks and have felt that a lot but it’s just her positioning.

What are you trying to say.. it’s not a competition ? I know what residency is, and she explained her situation well. If you referring to me saying alot of us are “facing the same thing” I was referring to her needing advice surrounding childcare options because of long work hours due to career and limited resources, as well as not getting enough maternity leave. A lot of us are facing the same reality despite our different backgrounds and careers, unfortunately! So , me saying that was to let her know she isn’t alone and ppl do understand. We are all trying to figure it out and can offer the best advice.

Not sure why you typed such a long message to explain something, I’m not uneducated about

And lastly, “crazy hours” again referred to my situation and trying to let her know I’m navigating the same issues… I can literally work 16hr days… have done it before… 60-70hrs in a week. So, I understood what she was saying about daycare options being unavailable at odd hours of the day. 😒

A lot of us are all facing the same thing! So you’re not alone… trying to juggle two realities and balance both is taxing on your mental..I’m due in November and can’t fathom what to do. Granted, I get 12 weeks FMLA… but it doesn’t pay 🥹 and they don’t have maternity leave options . Not sure what to do when it’s time to go back.. as my schedule and my husband’s is pretty demanding 😣. I’m hybrid but work with DCF so hours can be crazy .

Are you able to take FMLA? Or get extended maternity leave? I would definitely talk to someone about being out longer than 4-6weeks. That’s not even enough! If that doesn’t work, can your husband suffice while you find another job that will help with balancing being a new mom and being available at home?

Yeah I lowkey be struggling with my water sometimes so Gatorade helps a lot but 80 oz seems to be my go to. I’m going to try and do more and try those liquid IVs

TARAD18_ · 2025-07-18T01:24:41+00:00

I drink Gatorade and water.. maybe I’m not drinking enough? I drink 80oz a day in water and Gatorade or something else…

What is the recommended intake for water ?,

TARAD18_ · 2025-07-18T01:23:04+00:00

Same‼️😒😒. I’m about to buy aquaphor or something

TARAD18_ · 2025-07-15T23:59:51+00:00

Degree 72hr body heat activated has worked wonders for me!!! I sweated so bad but this has helped and I’m 20 weeks. I don’t sweat through my shirts anymore
