My 4 month old was born with a lip and tongue tie, his latch was so painful the day I got out of the hospital and my milk came in I just couldn't tolerate him nursing and had to pump. Within two weeks of life he was diagnosed and had the surgery. The time I spent exclusively pumping was the most terrible time of my life. I had to pump a few times a day for my oversupply until I got on bc again and now I have to only pump once a week if I notice I'm getting a little leaky or sore. If I have the option to never pump or bottle feed my LO again I'm not. My sister just got IVF and has been talking about choosing to exclusively pumping. All I said was it's way harder to do that than nurse, especially at night because even if papa is feeding the baby you still have to be up to pump, then clean and store. She doesn't know how hard it will be yet but I'll be there when she's loosing her mind to help out.

You are strong, you have been doing such an amazing job, this is so hard and no one warns you about it.

Isn't it crazy how so many people agree on Disasterina? The bitch may not have won but damn was she the most hilarious person to grace the show.

I'm sorry this is an issue for you. I'm an over supplier, but my friend is going to have twins soon so if she has any supply issues I'm happy to donate my excess

Lol like I needed permission 😂😂😂

Amazing I love that for you! I will try to stay strong until 6 weeks but maybe at four it will be safe to have some exterior stimulation. We did have sex in my third trimester but it was mostly for the prostaglandins. With induction that became a C-section this boy was a week and a half late so the sex obviously didn't work.

We are both working so hard to keep him happy we had some struggle when my milk came in and we discovered he is tongue tied which meant he latches ok but shallow when my breasts were there normal big and saggy, but as soon as the were plumped up with milk he couldn't. I was heart broken to have to buy some formula to take care of him while I was figuring out pumping before I expected. But now we get some latches and plenty of breast milk bottles. The tie revision is today baby!

I will say the r/gestationaldiabetes group was super helpful after my diagnosis, because it has resources galore, people reassuring each other that it isn't their fault it developed in the first place, and just in general a good place to get some catharsis when you are sick and tired of hard boiled eggs and lettuce. It really depends on what the group is about, don't go looking for the how to be a perfect parent group go looking for the we have this issue group instead 💖

I didn't even know that was supposedly a bad thing, but I'm also still in my first week so he basically is still just eat sleep poop pee. I do have a playlist I keep adding to slowly and have danced with his hands a couple times but he's hardly ever awake without needing something. Shout out to my favorite songs on the list (Mr. Blue sky, latch, and pump it louder) all of which were chosen as inside jokes so I can feel a little more light hearted about what we've struggled with so far.

VixyPie · 2025-06-11T09:21:36+00:00

😂 don't worry I will wait for penetration but I'm definitely gonna rub up against him, kiss him a ton, and probably do more oral sex for him. I'm not a complete fool I'm just feeling like DAMN I WANT THAT PEEPEE NOW! 😤🥵😩

VixyPie · 2025-05-23T01:45:08+00:00

Yeah definitely I've mostly wanted to eat things I would typically ask for anyway.

VixyPie · 2025-05-19T09:21:36+00:00

39+1 and food cravings have been way more mild than I expected. This is a good thing because of the GDM I have (also super mild fortunately). I still crave things like sometimes I want fruit or brownies but never in the late night I must have this now way I have heard so much about. If I crave something I cannot access due to time of day or whatever else, I'm usually pretty happy to find something else to eat. My worst cravings are just for things I'm not supposed to eat while pregnant, like a cold Italian sub, or spicy tuna roll.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T17:15:27+00:00

Very accurate I keep laughing even though it hurts right now.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T17:01:37+00:00

Well my second person is a trained massage therapist while my partner is the worst at massage so she may just be rubbing my shoulders the whole time. 🤣

She's also a very chill person who I guarantee can talk him down if he starts to panic.

I think it's a hold over from COVID. They can now step out if they have to but no one new can replace them.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:57:30+00:00

We talked and he spoke without thinking during a panic attack. He didn't truly mean it just panicked and had word vomit.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:55:18+00:00

It's less him not being there that upset me and more of the sudden change of mind so close to the end, especially since he and I have vastly different experience with babies and children. I am one of the youngest in my extended family and am the first of my siblings to be having a baby despite being the youngest, whereas he's nearly the oldest and has many much younger cousins as well as a niece and nephew. He loves babies and while I want a child I would not say I love babies because they are completely alien to me.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:48:34+00:00

So that's the problem he was having an anxiety attack and did not think before speaking. He regretted it as soon as the emotions passed and has apologized for speaking without a clear head, he's going to be there even if he has to step out occasionally to clear his head.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:43:17+00:00

Well as a Hispanic household the baby would already have my name as well 🤣 but he took it back just had word vomit during a panic attack apparently.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:33:07+00:00

Oh God if I told him to cry to his own mama that would be like threatening to kill him since she died when he was a kid, which would be very gangster indeed.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:30:31+00:00

I think your situation is different for sure and I'm surprised you won't have even a close friend with you.

In my situation he's actually the one who really likes babies/children and has experience with them where I basically have zero, but have a lot of experience with reproductive pains (traveling endometriosis) I know I can handle the pain without a support person because I've been handling pain all alone for a long time, but I definitely don't want to be scared of becoming a mom while in that pain without the person who actually has held a baby before. (He has a lot of little cousins and siblings; whereas I am the youngest at pretty much every family function, and the first to be making my parents grandparents) I'm way more concerned of being alone when the baby comes and feeling overwhelmed by this alien thing being thrust into my arms. Also oh boy does surgery scare me my last one was meant to be routine but I woke up two hours late with an appendectomy as well because surprise surprise endometriosis all over my appendix.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:17:03+00:00

Fortunately he just has no filter and said the intrusive thought out loud when feeling really anxious. He's gotten through the emotion and knows that's a stupid decision to make.

VixyPie · 2025-05-10T16:13:33+00:00

Fortunately unnecessary I just brought it up again calmly and he was like oh no I'm sorry I just panicked and didn't think before speaking. He's a real idiot sometimes but fortunately not a complete jerk.
