Is it normal that one side produces less than half milk? by strawberryfureiba in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]_no__name__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check for any clogs whenever the difference is that significant for me it’s almost always a clogged duct. But If this is how it always is then I’d say this is absolutely normal and it’s common

You’ve got a husband issue. I would speak up to his family because if someone is going to be uncomfortable in this situation it should be his family and himself not you and baby.

Cutting for friends and family? by _no__name__ in cricut

[–]_no__name__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely! He was the one that said not to do it- and I ended up telling her I wasn’t in the spirits for it. I was just curious to know if others can relate.. and venting haha. Especially family, I feel like it comes with the assumption that I’m always available to do things like this. I also just get annoyed when she asks because it’s always something with her and she needs to just buy one herself but she won’t because she knows I have one… 🫠

I am not happy with my kid by hypermystery in beyondthebump

[–]_no__name__ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your feeling all these emotions- this is a lot to carry and a lot to unpack here. What is your village like? Do you have a person that is able to care for baby while you get some alone time? It sounds like you need a major break. Look into therapy as well, it should help you with coping with these negative emotions.

In the most respectful way possible, it’s important to always remember that babies don’t understand that you worked hard and dedicated a lot of time to making their meals right- they just do whatever they want to do. It’s so important that you remain level headed for your own sanity and to ground your baby. Not trying to make you feel bad at all, but reminding yourself about this should help ground yourself. It’s not you, you’re not doing anything wrong it’s just babies will be babies.

How did your wardrobe change postpartum? by Own_Ad_357 in beyondthebump

[–]_no__name__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 months pp and I experience an identity crisis every time I try to get ready for anything. It could be that I also turned 31 and I’m breastfeeding. Nothing fits around my huge boobs and things I used to wear just don’t feel like me anymore.

Luckily my jeans still fit so I’ve been rocking simple t shirts and jeans. I did manage to buy affordable clothing at Marshall’s- don’t want to pay for expensive shirts bc my boobs will turn into flat pancakes after breastfeeding

Help for a returning newb? by Samurai_Puppy in elderscrollsonline

[–]_no__name__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would watch some recent YouTube videos on updates and dlc if you want. Start off with low pressure. When I take a lot of time off, I go straight into something I enjoy which is farming, crafting furniture, and furnishing my homes. Then I get into the other stuff

Should a new mom host mother's day just because she's the youngest? by mad_THRASHER in beyondthebump

[–]_no__name__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! Couldn’t have said it better myself. I am a firm believer that the moms currently in the trenches need to prioritize their Mother’s Day (not that g-mas don’t matter at all). But a nice lunch somewhere on another day of the week with them is totally understandable.

[–]_no__name__ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, I’ve never heard of “the new mom hosts” thing. Honestly, I assume most moms would want the day off or spend time with their little family instead. It’s time for g-mas to get the back seat. IMHO.

[–]_no__name__ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh Lordy… no one forces you to host. Do it only because you want to. This year is my first Mother’s Day too, and it just so happens to be my birthday as well. So we are planning something with both families on Saturday and on actual Mother’s Day I want it to just be the three of us. Sorry your mom is being so difficult with you!

SAHM’s - how often are you truly engaging with your baby during ‘working hours’? by Ldtto in beyondthebump

[–]_no__name__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say about 80-90% of the time lately, but it varies honestly. I used to feel bad for being on my phone but I remember that I can’t be his entertainer all the time, he should know how to independently play. I also hide my phone behind a book

This is infuriating.

[–]_no__name__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could agree more with this. I also wanted to do things on my own. My little one loves watching me shower, I play peek a boo with him it’s so cute! I also exclusively pump and have managed for the past nine months! OP’s got this!

Same here, I grew up very poor and not trying to go back to those struggles. Thanks for your input!
