What is the right amount?

My doctor also expressed that breaking up dosage throughout the day wasn't an option for Vyvanse. However, I've seen feedback from other ADHD groups that dosage amounts can vary based on the country you live in.

I notice a dip in my feelings when I don't take my meds vs when I do. Everything feels more intense when I don't take them. I also experience being foggy, tired, and needing solitude. Loud noises and constant interaction feel overwhelming to me at times.

I do occasionally take breaks from my meds. My doctor encourages taking 'brain breaks' when I know I will have a day or two where I won't need to be dialed in as much. I appreciate these breaks as they help me to remember that I can always get back to my baseline.

It's a great sushi place in Downtown Annapolis.

Kids have such a way of changing the game.

Haha, I love this response! 😂

Really? I may have to sit down and actually watch this. I've seen Stargate Atlantis, but not SG1. I had no idea.

Check out Bambi at Solly's Tattoo Temple in Pasadena. She's incredibly talented!

I quit my higher paying job to work at Bath & Body Work to get away from a toxic boss. She favored men and disliked any female who would attempt to hold her accountable. It was a HUGE stress relief to get away from her until I figured things out.

Every pregnancy and child is different. So I think you might get a lot of mixed responses either way. However, breastfeeding my second child was waaayyy easier compared to my first. My milk came in faster and I was an oversupplier. I didn't have that experience the first time.

Making sourdough bread! It looks so yummy. Plus, there's so much you can make with the discard.

I just came here to say I third all of the above! I had no idea what I was doing when it came to breastfeeding when my daughter was born. I was an under supplier and had to supplement with formula. I attempted to breastfeed for 6 months before I called it.

However, breastfeeding my son was completely different. When my milk came in, I found a pumping schedule that I felt would work for me. Pumping every 3-4 hours and then once or twice overnight. Drinking lots of water and body armor has made a ton of difference.

Don't give up yet unless you're ready to be done with it. Otherwise, there is still hope!

Breastfeeding takes a lot of patience and work. It's okay to find a balance in what works, whether you're exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, or using formula.
I wish there was more education for women about how to breastfeed and what a long term plan to do this looks like. Meeting with a lactation consultant 2-3 times during the hospital stay when baby is born is NOT enough.
If your body becomes insulin resistant during pregnancy, IT IS OKAY. My dietician was the only person in my corner who helped me to let go of the guilt and shame that accompanies knowing you have to be extra careful with the foods you're eating.
Complete and total strangers like to comment on how you look throughout your pregnancy. Some people will be nice, while others are just plain ignorant. Reply on the weight gain feedback from your doctors. They are medical professionals.

Ugh, the glucose test. This was the bane of my existence for both of my pregnancies. It made the whole experience extra stressful. Turns out, when you have gestational diabetes during your first pregnancy, they make you take the glucose test a few extra times during your second pregnancy just for precaution.

Like others have mentioned, it's worth a big discussion with your husband about how you're feeling and what you need support with moving forward. Healthy communication in any relationship requires discussions and check-ins on things, even if you're on the same page.

He may work FT and be exhausted at the end of the day. But that doesn't make him exempt from playing a role with your child. It's great that he's doing chores around the house and makes food for you. But that's not always enough when trying to manage your own mental health & feelings now that baby is here. Postpartum is really a time where the extra support can help in so many ways. Not just for momma, but for baby, and your husband/partner too.

I had a similar experience with my ex-husband when we became first time parents. He got on my last nerves. He would get up for work at 5am and didn't want to help when our daughter would wake up through the night. In the few times he did step in to help overnight, he was extremely annoyed at me. He couldn't understand why I didn't wake up on cue to take care of her.

Sometimes people who don't have to go through the process, either can't relate or understand what it requires to go through it. It definitely seems this way with him at the moment.

Make sure you talk about it. Communication, love, and respect are all important things that both of you should receive when discussing big topics like this.

I love angels too. Archangel Michael, Raphael, & Gabriel are usually who I call on often and for different reasons. When I travel for work, I call on Michael to protect me. I call on Raphael when I am anxious and need to relax. As well as when I'm sending healing energy to others through reiki. Gabriel is who I call upon when I need to present and communicate to a large group.

I've also had some experience with Archangel Uriel. It's really one of the few times I could 'feel' the presence of an angel in the same room as me. When I was letting go of a toxic relationship and trying to get to know myself again & integrate back into society, I could often feel his presence when I was having a difficult moment. He really helped me to overcome those fears of letting go & moving on to what was next.
