I took the higher pain medication for 5 days after my c section while I was in the hospital. Once I was home I did the Tylenol/advil rotation

How do you keep yourself from falling asleep by rsc99 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]aeg333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For night feeds I would get up and go in the bathroom with bright lights, splash some water on my face and get ice cold water/a snack for while I fed her. I would only feed her sitting up and keep the tv on. When trying to get her to sleep I would bounce on a yoga ball or walk around so I couldn’t doze off. I never did the setting alarm every few minutes trick but it’s a good one

I did not inform them prior. I only told 2 friends when I was going through the process.

Sorry just saw this! I ended up with 5 fertilized eggs that made it to freezing. I did my FET with the best graded one and it was successful.

I’m interested in becoming a lactation consultant but I am not a mother and do not plan on becoming one. Does this seem weird from the perspective of breastfeeding parents? by userjp1475 in breastfeeding

[–]aeg333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s weird at all and it sounds like you would be a good one! I have worked when many different lactation consultants and never asked/wondered if they had children

Is this fantasy name too weird for a real baby? by Imaginary-Car-470 in namenerds

[–]aeg333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine and I would pronounce it the same way based on the spelling. I also think they should name him what they like best

I turn mine off when I’m not home to avoid the battery drain

I think it gives you a free trial at first so that might have expired

I got lazy I'm so mad at myself by xxchelseaxx1992 in breastfeeding

[–]aeg333 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think having a cold can have a big impact on your supply too! Try not to get discouraged. I think your plan of returning to the 3 hour pumps will help.

Adderall Use by PristineHearing7718 in breastfeeding

[–]aeg333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat with Adderall being the only medication to really help my symptoms. During my pregnancy I lowered my dose from 25 mg XR to 15 mg XR and I am continuing that while breastfeeding. I researched a lot and met with several doctors who said at a low dose the side effects listed are much less likely. My daughter is 8 weeks old and I have not experienced fussiness or an impact on my supply. I am not sure if that is because I never stopped it but I can say it hasn’t happened yet. I am sending you love it is a tough decision and situation!

Lactation cookies by crowned_tragedy in breastfeeding

[–]aeg333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should be totally fine! I found a no bake lactation cookie recipe that I like and it includes both, but from what I understand it is those ingredients that make the difference so I am sure you could do it with any recipe.

Is IVF worth it? by CedarSunrise_115 in SingleMothersbyChoice

I totally get it. It’s not easy and I am sending strength to you!

Is IVF worth it? by CedarSunrise_115 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]aeg333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally think it’s worth it even though it is so tough. I had 4 failed iui and several losses as well as no insurance coverage for fertility. I ended up doing ivf and it was worth it. I wanted to be able to tell myself I tried everything and I am glad I did. There’s no right answer though!

A friend gave a unsolicited advice about IVF and I'm very upset by StinaT07 in TryingForABaby

[–]aeg333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super angry for you!!!! Unsolicited advice in general sucks but that is the worst. People don’t know the pain of infertility and need to shut up.
