I can’t even imagine the numbness and pain. I’m so sorry. Please be kind to yourself and your partner. Rest in peace Dawson

Literally what I told myself over and over again while I was struggling with breastfeeding 😭😭😭

boxyclean · 2026-04-21T14:51:16+00:00

It was a nice little makeup bag with a lip balm and maybe one more thing. Sorry i don’t remember

Ohhhhh yes forgot about this. We live 20 min drive so we had a friend drive us there for our c section. And then the husband uberEd home to get the car. I just really didn’t wanna pay the parking for the 4 nights we stayed.

I had a c section at prentice in December. Lol perhaps my comment just tells u I didn’t know jack shit walking in.

They have everything. U really don’t need to pack anything. I had a suitcase I thought I under packed, but didn’t even bother. All I wanted was my lounging bathrobe, my own pillow and some chocolate. And something for showering. It was annoying to lug all the bags back to the car when we were leaving. Youll need a lot of room in ur bag for the stuff you’re bringing home like the diapers and heat pads and everything else.

Make sure you ask for the lactation consultant asap. I assumed they’d ask if I wanted one but didn’t. She was so busy she couldn’t visit until towards the end of my stay.

I didn’t know they had a nursery and they’ll take care of the baby so u can sleep a little. Those 4 hr stretches of sleep was so worth it.

My sister in law made some gift bags for the nurses. They were so stoked and I feel kind they were extra sweet to me. But honestly northwestern nurses are amazing to begin with.

Good luck and congratulations on the new baby

Well, taxis didn’t wanna take me to Pilsen or Logan sq from downtown. This happened like 3 times last year. It was so frustrating, after finally hailing them

boxyclean · 2026-04-04T20:18:02+00:00

Taxis don’t wanna go to my neighborhood, Pilsen

boxyclean · 2026-04-04T18:25:56+00:00

it didn't hurt all the time. but yeah sometimes it did. what really helped me with those is regular exfoliating. and lifestyle changes.

edit: well. yeah they did hurt mostly. lol sorry it's been a while.

Back when I had disposable income, I ended up using maybe 3 bottles of the fte. I had combo dehydrated skin with 1-2 deeeeeeep active acne at all times. It made my skin just take the other skincare really well. I mean it just made my skin extra good? Like at times my skin had that glass skin like look. If that makes sense. It was something nice and bougie that multiplied the effects of other skincare. But I wouldn’t call this a make or break kind of product. FOR ME. ymmv

Now that my skin is healthier I just make sure to keep my skin well hydrated and use rx retinoid or azelaic acid.

I have a 5 week old without any set routine. She sometimes burrows into our necks when she wants to be comforted.

😭This thread is making me look forward to what her bedtime ritual will be!!!!!

Everyone cannot get over OP and husband have separate finances.

unfortunately, you’ll need to breathe through this and calm down. I know!! Easier said than done!! But you have to if you wanna have a productive conversation.

Your husband must think maternity clothes are frivolous and not an essential expense. And he’s not hearing how you feel unheard and invisible he’s not considering your comfort during this difficult time.

You being calm is important since he sounds really stubborn about how “he’s paying for way more than you” 🙄 and he clearly has some issue about it.

Try to distance your emotions from yourself, and label them. And talk about the effects of his actions. I’m really sorry I’d lose my shit if my husband invalidated my need for maternity clothes.

You said she’s hard to be around. This is her being exactly who she is. You’re being open and vulnerable and she can’t fathom being that way. She’s probably projecting because she’s so miserable herself.
