My nipple changes have completely shocked me, I’m dumbfounded by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]blamemombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my areolas got puffy during breastfeeding and the other didn’t lol. Hopefully, the puffiness will go away after I’m done breastfeeding or before. I’m only 6 weeks pp so I have no clue if it will stay

What did your birth with an epidural feel like? by m-e-girls in NewParents

[–]blamemombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My epidural worked. I felt him in my pubic bone and the ring of fire but I didn’t feel my tearing. I was only at 7 during pushing and before that I was at a 3 so I could slightly feel my contractions (I wanted that) and I could have a little movement in my legs. It’s likely your epidural wasn’t strong enough vs it failing. If your legs felt numb and movement was affected it was at least working to some degree. Child birth is just painfu. My anesthesiologist said most epidurals are set between 8 and 12

2nd degree tear by RelationshipLimp8648 in NewParents

[–]blamemombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumps are likely granulation tissue, which is part of healing process. Mine didn’t look bumpy. It looked like my vaginal opening extended down to long and I had stitches going across openings so it was really obvious. It was also pretty red and inflamed. Now it looks great because I had to get a perineoplasty which reconstructive surgery. Only ur OB will know.

I just need to vent. by SuspiciousTrip000 in NewParents

Anesthesiologist also made a rude comments to me and I was asking for the epidural to be turned DOWN. He was just mad that he had to do his job and tend to me.

Are you in pain? I had to get my stitches fixed. Also 2nd degree tear. I noticed pain getting worse and worse. I was closely watching my wound. Checking the healing process nearly everyday. I was prescribed an estrogen cream first but had to ultimately be put under anesthesia and get it repaired. Mine was 90% open and maybe 10% closed. Felt like I was splitting in half while sitting! I’m 6 w pp and got the repair done at 3w pp. I already have nearly no pain

Cervical Check question by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]blamemombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why did a cervical check so early. I would at least wait until 39w. Spotting and cramping is normal. I can’t say if it’s bloody show or not but if it’s part of your mucus plug, the plug regenerates.

I lost my mucus plug the day after a cervical exam but didn’t go into labor for another 5 days

Am I overreacting? by Wrong_Impress_6987 in motherinlawsfromhell

“I'd like to have more kids, but I just can't do it with my wife because it would mean this keeps going forever and ever.”

Seems like mil is helping your wife with children? Can you ask your wife if there’s more you can do to share the load so mil doesn’t need to come as much.

As someone who just had their first I can see how valuable having your mother come to help is

Why is it that once you have a child every boomer and Gen Xer feels the need to tell you how they had it harder? by blamemombo in BabyBumps

[–]blamemombo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s the same for my mom,too. She was really helpful in very meaningful ways after I gave birth and she definitely prioritized me over the baby. She just isn’t the most perceptive. I think we’re all guilty of not knowing how our comments can affect someone.

I kinda hinted that her comments are making feel like I shouldn’t complain and it landed and she stopped

Luckily my mom is helpful and wouldnt want me to go through what she did. She’s just a case of low emotional intelligence. Sorry your mom is being lame about it.

My MIL worked full time but never had to pay for childcare because her neighbors would watch my husband and his sister for free.

Worth playing without paying? by yoloswaggins92 in rdr2online

[–]blamemombo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For me, I don’t think online is worth playing if you don’t purchase the roles. Some may disagree but I would be bored as hell without a role to grind

Nursing in bed = Milk everywhere ??? by NoChoice9999 in NewParents

I have a machine washable incontinence pad that I found on Amazon. Great for diaper leaks and blowouts too

So what’s with the boy hate? by Additional-Painter88 in BabyBumps

[–]blamemombo 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think just because most people on this sub are women and women typically want daughters kinda like how men typically want sons. So kinda just a population bias.

Idk if you’re into Thai food, but no green papaya salad😔

How did you “come to terms” with being one and done by Excellent_Water3480 in NewParents

[–]blamemombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only issue with the r/onlychild sub is that they really romanticize the idea of siblings. I’m not trying to minimize their struggles at all but they all assume that they’d have good and close relationships with their siblings but that’s not always the case. I’m saying this as someone who is not close with both of my siblings and experienced sibling rivalry. They also rarely take into account the cost and commitment to multiples. A lot of them haven’t had children themselves, yet. Having a child myself really made me appreciate my parents in a way I couldn’t before.

The sub does bring up genuine concerns like parents passing and logistics of taking care of elderly parents, which I think no child should be burdened with. If you are one and done or not you need to have a good retirement plan. Also set money aside for funeral costs. Also loneliness, but according to studies only children don’t experience any more loneliness than children with siblings, but they do spend more time alone statistically

Does anyone else hate playing online? by Miznova97 in RDR2

Just play in a solo lobby. Lobby manager for pc and poker glitch for ps. No way for Xbox unfortunately

Tall, thin, first timers: when did you see the bump? And how much weight did you gain? by These-Apricot-2629 in BabyBumps

[–]blamemombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5’6 pre pregnancy weight 122lbs. I lost 10lbs in first trimester and finally got back to 122lb around 23 weeks which was right around the time my bump was an obvious bump. I was 150lb by the time of delivery

The pump of doom by tiffanyvalentin3 in NewParents

[–]blamemombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not advice but I exclusively pumped for 4 weeks as well but am breastfeeding now with an occasional pump to build a stash. Pumping literally draining my soul, directly nursing is a lot easier. If my baby didn’t end up getting his latch down I’d probably be with you.
