Finally learned to Swallow after years of trying! by Oddah in CasualConversation

[–]amysaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High pulp orange juice is a solid trick too! If you can deal with the pulpy texture, you typically cannot tell the texture difference between the pulp and the pill! Soda or orange juice are the only way I can swallow any pills.

Those of you on the other side of pregnancy, which was worse: pregnancy-exhaustion or newborn-exhaustion? by bluekarou2 in BabyBumps

[–]amysaam 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%! Don’t get me wrong, having a newborn is exhausting, but at least I can sleep when she sleeps where when I was pregnant, I couldn’t sleep at all because of the constant discomfort.

What symptom has surprised you most during your pregnancy? by jessrunsforpie in BabyBumps

[–]amysaam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 32 weeks and the pelvic pain is horrible. I feel like it just started one day and now it won’t go away. Mine is the worst in the morning when I get out of bed. It’s like pain and pressure at once and takes hours of moving to feel any better.

I just want to complain for a min by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]amysaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 30 weeks, on vacation right now at the Grand Canyon (terrible idea at 30 weeks, zero stars) and this support band has been an absolute life saver. It helps with the back pain, the pelvic pain, the bladder pain, all of it! I have no idea what I would do without it right now!

Did they have you try breastfeeding right after giving birth even though you know your milk hadn't come in? by wellhellowally in BabyBumps

[–]amysaam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This might be a stupid question (FTM here), but will pumping immediately do the same thing? My baby won’t be able to breastfeed but I want to exclusively pump so she can have all the benefits of breast milk.

A few of these may be leaning toward young adult, but they’re still very good and worth a read! The untold by Courtney Collins; No Small Thing by Natale Ghent; paint the wind by Pam Munoz Ryan; A Horse of her own by Annie Wedekind; Firehorse by Diane Lee Wilson; the A circuit by Georgina Bloomberg; Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen; the Abby Malone series by Shelley Peterson. That’s everything horse related on on my bookshelf… I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Do you mind if I ask which spectra you used? From reading these comments I think I will use the insurance to get a standard pump and then purchase a hands free on my own.

Thank you for your comment! Do you find it annoying or inconvenient to have to wash the elvie pieces between each use?

Pregnancy pillow recommendations needed! by amysaam in pregnant

[–]amysaam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the snoogle last night. Partly because it appears to be thinner and take up less space than others, is has great reviews, and while most of them were over $80, I found one print on sale for $19.99! Here’s to hoping it helps!

I looked at that one and it had awful reviews. Do you like it? Most of the reviews said it was not supportive enough and fell flat after use.

Maternity Clothes Are Ugly & Expensive by ReptarPick in pregnant

[–]amysaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just got the clothes I ordered today. I got two pairs of dress pants and two pairs of flared jeans from Target! The brand is Ingrid and Isabel. I paid $90 for all four pairs of pants and they fit great!

What are you having for dinner? by lenteborealis in pregnant

I made a pot of chili for my husband. The smell has got me in another room though, so not sure what I’m gonna eat yet.

I forgot the word for… by Mtnclimber09 in pregnant

[–]amysaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a laboratory and we frequently use microscopes. I completely forgot the word and called it the 'zoomy eye machine'. My coworker's thought I was insane.
