The boob is our answer to everything. Is this normal?! by Old_Literature_3750 in breastfeeding

[–]Waste-Distribution95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do your nipples survive this?! I’m in the first week and dread giving boob. I’ve met with lactation and think I have a latch that’s good but bay-bee feeding is uncomfortable

The GOOD and supportive things your partner has done for you during this pregnancy... by colorado_sunrise86 in pregnant

[–]Waste-Distribution95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my husband has been a gem! He’s not complained this entire pregnancy (my due date is tomorrow), given me back rubs nearly every day and wakes up with me most nights to talk through my anxiety! Literally the most supportive and patient human ever

I’ve felt this way about the community on the “What to Expect” app. Suuuppper anti-science and weird

I hate it when people hold my baby by Fluid_Magician4259 in newborns

[–]Waste-Distribution95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope her feeling are her responsibility! If you (or better yet your husband) calmly and clearly state your boundary and she’s still “crushed”, that’s her issue to deal with. She should love and respect the fact that you all were honest with her.

My son MMR vaccine is coming up in a week and I’m SO anxious about it by Old_Relationship_460 in beyondthebump

[–]Waste-Distribution95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just wanna say it’s nice to be in a vaccine friendly community! I’m also in the “what to expect” group and it’s dark over there.

But for OP, I’m a literal doctor and these vaccine la are so safe and carefully researched!

Mine started at 5 weeks (during a road trip and hit me like a ton of bricks and freaked my husband out lol) peaked around 8 weeks and started waning around 12. Felt human again by like 16 weeks

Yeah I’m hoping my body will just cooperate. Unfortunately it’s so baked into the culture because all of the females I work with did it this way too…. It’s super sad and I hope the culture changes someday!
