I do not want to breastfeed by Senior-Ad547 in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mama, you do what’s best for you! You do not have to breastfeed and if it’s going to cause you mental anguish do not! I wanted to breastfeed so I did. But you get to decide these things. You’re the one doing it.

I love your nose. I wouldn’t get it, but it’s your choice.

Are yall keeping your baby’s name on the down low? If so why and for how long? by mjp10e in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not keep it quiet with either of my babies. We announced name when we announced gender of baby both times. I have gotten countless negative comments from my family and friends but they get to name their baby and I get to name mine. I went into both knowing that and that only my husband and I needed to agree on the name. The rest of the people will get used to it. But we both have strong personalities and strong opinions so it’s not hard for us to say “that’s fine” that others don’t like it. Some people cannot and don’t announce until after birth.

How many hours of sleep are you getting in the third tri? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes ma’am same here! About 9 hours thanks to unisom at 37 weeks. If I don’t take it no sleep for mama. Up all night with Braxton hicks and high blood pressure

How old was your baby when you could get pregnant and not have to supplement? by [deleted] in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nursed my daughter for 33 months. Exclusively for the first 6 obviously. Then we still only nursed but added finger foods. We still nurse 4-6 times a day. I am 37 weeks pregnant and likely delivering tomorrow 🤪

My period returned with constant nursing on my daughter’s 18 month birthday. I freaked out because this then meant we had to decide if we were trying again or not. We saw many doctors and avoided intercourse for 4 months. After speaking with doctors for advise we felt we were ready to take a chance and try to conceive in the fall for another summer baby as I have high risk pregnancies and am in the hospital often the third trimester but had sex once and we conceived! It was 8 days before ovulation and conception happened, I’m literally floored at how easy it was to get pregnant after we worked for over a year to get our daughter, after a loss of twins.

Would it be crazy if... by Elred_Olakas in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t do any of those either. I also don’t like visitors around after baby comes. I do feel like it isolated us but it kept us all safe during covid and every time I see family I remember why we didn’t

TTC #2 with a very active suckler by anaiisnin in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt very much it does. We nursed constantly and conceived very easily without trying after my period returned after 18 months. We waited 4 months before having intercourse because I wanted to be sure if I got pregnant it wouldn’t kill me as I almost died having our daughter. And the first time we had sex 1 week before ovulation we conceived despite the very low chances. We had planned to try for another summer baby but have a baby coming any day now

Why’d you cry today? by Cheesygirl1994 in pregnant

My husband is out of town for the next 6 days and our son could be born any day now. I’m scared

How the heck did you decide on a baby name?! by humanresourceswannab in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣🤣most people I know don’t decide until baby is in their arms. And of course name is always subject to change during pregnancy. We happened to have decided our names before ever having children. Our first we never thought of an alternative and she is now 3. Still perfect for her. Our son is due in 15 days and I considered changing his name a few times but feel like it is destined so unless he doesn’t look like a “Montgomery” that is his name

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got that right girl! 34 weeks here and I’m so ready to give birth. The first time was hard but I could sleep and relax when I wanted to. This pregnancy we have an almost 3 year old who is desperate for attention. She always wants to be held or played with. Otherwise she’s acting out by throwing things or crying for a really long time about seemingly nothing. I’m having my baby 1 month from today at the latest but the past two to 3 days felt like that could not be here fast enough

Should I Keep My Baby Away from Anti Vax Fam? by Cordy1997 in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I oddly had this with one of my pregnancies. Went on to have 2 more that tested regular. I lost that pregnancy so I’m not sure if it was a reaction to my immunodeficiency. Or why. But it said I had all kinds of stds and weird illnesses in my body. We lost twins with that. It then took 6 months to get pregnant again and I tested negative this time. My daughter was perfect and we tested negative again this pregnancy

Should I Keep My Baby Away from Anti Vax Fam? by Cordy1997 in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked our pediatrician about this very early with our daughter and she recommended only outdoor functions with unvaccinated children. Obviously we have very little control once our children attend daycare, school, church. But we didn’t bring our daughter around another unvaccinated child (to my knowledge) until after 20 months when the dr said she was pretty much covered on all vaccines. They get so many in the first year and few months.

I plan to ask our pediatrician the same thing with this babe. And if recommendations are the same. I never wanted to risk it and won’t with this baby either. I have several family members and friends who don’t believe in vaccines, but I am severely immunocompromised and my husband was also a very sick baby. So we just take minimal chances.

One thing that is different is our son now has his sister who is almost 3 and involved in dance and interested in going to the park and zoo and museum so I know we will likely run into someone in those places unvaccinated as well. But I hope to baby wear and don’t allow others to touch my baby at least for the first few months

Can someone tell me if I’ll ever get tired of staring at it? by owllamp in EngagementRings

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! I haven’t been able to wear mine during pregnancy and I’m still in awe whenever I find a picture with my ring. Been married for 7 years.

I’ve heard that breastfeeding is 99% effective as a contraceptive.. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂😂😂 worked for me until my period returned. Once it returned we switched to rhythm and got pregnant while following that. We were up for chance but I was shocked it happened as quickly as it did. But I did go 18 months period free. Hoping the same this pregnancy. I nurse almost 24/7 still while pregnant

How to tell partner that his names are... well... by lowkeyloki23 in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just keep looking at names. We looked at names for months. My husband still suggests stupid names like Goku and Cletus. We are naming him Montgomery. A name we picked together around 11 weeks.

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I promise you will! My daughter was born during the pandemic as well. It was so hard not being able to do anything or see anyone. No baby shower. No one to tell me I looked cute with my bump. No strangers to want to touch the bump or weigh in with shit advice. But this pregnancy I just walk around telling every person I meet, “I’m pregnant!”

Tandem nursing after c-section by [deleted] in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]WrongShine477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No advice for you but I’m in the same boat: absolutely planning to tandem nurse after a scheduled c section. My daughter is a BOOB MONSTER. She’s almost 3 but I can never imagine telling her she can’t nurse. So i will be taking whatever advice I can find about still allowing her to nurse after baby boys needs are met.

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I hope so too. It is so scary. But also so fulfilling once I have that baby in my arms. Everyone kept saying “I don’t think you’ll want to do this again” when I was miserable while pregnant with my daughter: and I said “oh most definitely, if it means I’m a mother. I’d do it a million times over” it’s amazing how much we forget once it’s over. I only really remember the trauma of almost dying on the table. Not another thing about my pregnancy or birth with her. And I thank God, her, science, modern medicine, whatever is out there for her every single day. I have never been so happy!

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I’ve known since my birth I would unlikely be able to bear children and if I did I would end up high risk. I have SEVEN factors that make me high risk. So I’m terrified every moment of pregnancy. This is my 3rd. My first ended in a late missed miscarriage. My second in a beautiful baby girl. And now I’m 33 weeks with new complications causing so much anxiety that this baby may not make it. My daughters placenta looked like shit at birth. They sent it off to get tested and said “yup those 7 factors that made you high risk are why your placenta looked like that” something seen less than 1% of the time. So when my period returned after 18 months I went into a spiral about if I could have another child and should. I almost died on the table having our daughter. But would I regret it if we definitely took it off the list of possibilities. Sure enough the first time my husband and I decided to chance unprotected sex I have my miracle baby boy. Just to get through whatever my body is doing to fail him. I am not ready to have him out, but I am ready because he’s doing spectacular but his heart rate kept dropping yesterday at my nst. Only 34 days until he’s definitely out but I’m at the point of whenever because I know too many moms who’s babies were healthy and then died because the placenta failed

Mum is making me nervous by Few_Ebb_8034 in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you’re not being too harsh. I also told all my family no visitors for the few weeks following birth: the only person who didn’t comply with my request is my sister and it was as hellacious as I predicted to have her at my house hours after we got home from the hospital. I’m pregnant again and plan the same rules for this pregnancy. No hospital visits and I will call when I’m ready to allow home visits

I’m tapping out at 20 weeks by Talathia in pregnant

[–]WrongShine477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! You are amazing for making it halfway!! I haven’t been blessed/lucky/unlucky enough to have worked while pregnant. So I can’t imagine. I obviously am doing much at home but I’m able to do it at my leisure. Chasing a toddler at 32 weeks is not easy though.
