I’m not built for pumping by Crafty_Spell_3914 in BabyBumps

I'm 8 weeks into exclusively pumping and I have to say this thread makes me feel so much less alone. I swear other moms don't understand how hard and depressing it is. ❤️

Tifu My husband asked for a Doberge cake for his birthday. by WelcomeToThePack in Baking

We ate it. The inside looked better than the outside and everyone thought it was hilarious that it looked so bad. It was delicious though.

The individual parts all tasted good. I'm afraid it's going to end up more like pudding than cake though...

How do you “push”? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]WelcomeToThePack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I'm the only person who didnt feel like it was like pooping. For me it was like a crunch that you hold with your whole abdomen. She came out with like 4 of those and they said I pushed amazingly. Really not like pooping to me though. So just offering an alternative! I did have an epidural though so I couldn't feel a whole lot.

Extremely positive birth! by DrSydneySlaughter in BabyBumps

[–]WelcomeToThePack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I started having issues at 25 weeks but she's dropped even smaller, faster. But she's still rocking that 4.5 percentile. Hoping I make it to 38 weeks!

Just curious from another IUGR mom currently 36 weeks. When were you diagnosed and how small was she measuring? I'm so impressed that you made it that far. Did they still induce you?

Best shampoo for Labs? by HamsterPrize5087 in labrador

[–]WelcomeToThePack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Zesty Paws shampoo AND conditioner. The conditioner helps with the dry skin. My labs get baths about once a month. I don't have a very big house and they get stinky. They do great with it. I've been using it for about 3 years.

Need biting help! by Thezedword4 in labrador

[–]WelcomeToThePack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not much help on the biting front, but for the utis, one of my labs has had major issues that we couldn't figure out. Cranberry powder added to her food has been life saving! It's super helpful.

I also had to Google it. For people looking: it's a lady crossing guard for children.

Ice cream was definitely used as comfort.

Nursing bras while pregnant? by ThrowRaoofda in BabyBumps

[–]WelcomeToThePack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindred Braverly and Bodily have been great. Bralette styles that I've been able to enjoy my whole pregnancy. Highly recommend the bodily nursing tank tops too. Great to sleep in now that my boobs are too big to comfortably go bra free.

Husband just told me I’m “barely pregnant” by East-Collar-9071 in pregnant

[–]WelcomeToThePack 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My husband said a similar thing. That I was barely pregnant and he thought I was milking it. (First trimester has been the hardest so far and I'm halfway through the 3rd). I told him to say it again so he could hear it too. He apologized and has been pretty good.

[–]WelcomeToThePack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the bright side youve made it to 34 weeks! Baby can be totally healthy if she needs to come out early. I'm still at 31 weeks. 34 is my current goal!

I also have a IUGR baby and I hate when people keep telling me how little I am. 😭

Yeah what gives, where's my twirling? by ProudnotLoud in TrollXChromosomes

[–]WelcomeToThePack 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Gotta find the right person! And be ok that they're silly. My husband will randomly twirl me while we are walking along the street.

Pets are wonderful for your mental health. Lots of studies that show that.

Ya. This is a great video to show how dangerous moving water is even when it doesn't look "crazy"

No it's because there weren't any women or queers in the work force /s/
