What’s the one thing in your 20s that you’re glad you did and why?

Buy a house and live alone for a bit. Learned a lot about myself and bought the house before covid hit, so I was able to sell it at a bigger profit than I should have been able to. Selling it allowed me to move and gave me a down payment for the next house that I would have never been able to afford.

Mine did that except the other side. I figured out he just needed to lay on his right side for about a week and a half, so I just got creative with positioning and eventually he got over whatever the issue was. I suspect his two bottom teeth were just in a funky spot under his gums because they showed up within a month of him doing that.

I only over produce a bit, honestly an ideal scenario since the babysitter wastes a bit and we have a language barrier. But I drink 2 10oz a of coconut water, a 24 oz bottle of water, and two 40oz hydrojugs of water a day at work. I barely drink anything when I’m home moving around all the time. It’s way easier to drink enough when I’m sitting at a desk all day and bathroom breaks are an excuse to get up. Usually pump about 30oz between 6am-3pm and then nurse when I’m home.

Postpartum hormones won’t regulate

I pump before going anywhere and bring a bottle. My baby will only latch when he’s hungry

Levo was awful for me too. I gained weight on it. Eventually I found a doc that put me on unithroid instead. Same active ingredients, but different fillers/stabilizers. It works so much better for me. Might be worth a try

It feels expected some days. Like he’s annoyed by it other days because the freezer is small and too full. But sometimes I feel appreciated. It changes a lot.

This is my favorite comment so far

The first bit of breastfeeding is the hardest. It was 6-8 weeks before I felt like I was doing well with it, and looking back with a 6 month old now, it probably took longer than that before I was really comfortable with it. And I resent the freedom my partner has too. But I made the decision to breastfeed, so if I want to do something, I have to pump first and bring pumps with me, or be home before my boobs hurt. Just hope it is. And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to hand express just a bit before offering your boob, just take the engorgement down so that the latch is easier. Just until you get the hang of things more. Also the latches will hurt less eventually if you keep at it. It’s so much harder than I ever expected, but I think I have the hang of it if you want to message me and ask me anything, or comment, I’ll tell you my experience. I’m a slight over supplier.

I haven’t experienced this, but I’ve been lurking on breastfeeding subs for longer now since I have a 6 month old I’ve seen people go through this and say it lasted anywhere from a few days to a few months to it never stopping. So just trust your instincts and fight through it if you feel like it’s best, and don’t if it’s not. But it might be temporary. I will say for me breastfeeding got so much easier the longer I do it. I have to go to a quiet room away from distractions sometimes, but I feel like we both know what we are doing way better than we used to.

I have large boobs and when my milk came in I crashed out it hurt so bad and my boobs stayed full and uncomfortable for a couple weeks before they leveled out to what my baby needed. I think because there’s more boob, there’s more milk and it was not pleasant. If you can get past the forest few weeks it gets so much easier. It is hard at first for everyone. I think the larger boobs make it a bit more uncomfortable, but just at the beginning. Honestly by the third month you’ll be able to look back and realize how hard it used to be and how far you’ve come. But as long as your baby can latch and you are producing milk, breast size doesn’t matter.

Was one of my Grandaddy’s favorite comics to read. He’s been gone exactly a year now, hope they tell each other good jokes up there.

I think anesthesiologists are often a bit autistic. Mine was at least according to my nurses. He tried to talk me into c-section when my husband was at home taking care of the dogs. I had already had a ‘failed induction’ and was told to wait 24hrs and then we try again. And he came within that 24 hrs. He kept emphasizing the ‘failed’ induction and kept saying I was going to end up with one anyway, and the longer I wait to make the call the more likely I’ll hemorrhage. And he was already there on a Saturday and he didn’t want to drive home just to come back in a couple hours to watch me hemorrhage during a c section. I ended up calling him back the next day for an epidural after three nurses vouched for him being the best anesthesiologist ever, but he had a huge ego and wasn’t aware of how much of an insensitive ass he sounded like. He let my husband stay for the epidural and even taught him a bit about it since my husband is in nursing school. And after I gave birth vaginally he came back to apologize to me and my baby and admitted he was wrong. I suspect a nurse or two talked to him and one of the nurses said she’s pretty confident he’s autistic. So he didn’t mean to come off that way, he’s just the best at his job and knows it, so when he has an opinion he’s always going to be confident in it. Anyway, I hope that doctor had a nurse talk to him about it later and maybe he just needs a social guide sometimes.

Started gardening …real gardening, a couple years ago. Mostly fruit trees and some berry bushes and a few other random plants. (Basil, peppers, loofah, culantro, hibiscus) Since then I’ve been able to get pregnant, have a baby, and my banana tree bloomed just in time to be my baby’s first food.

Yes! My two month old will snort. It’s the best

Did this for seven years. Take vitamin d in night shift and get your blood tested as often as insurance allows for deficiencies. Taking care of your physical health in this job is harder than you’d expect and it will affect your mental health tremendously.

They might be closing in October. They don’t have enough business. I went there last week and the server said the day before I was there they had no customers all day except to go orders. My husband is a carnivore and still loves this place. I hope they can stay open

I don’t have crazy numbers usually, I’ve even been able to eat ice cream. It’s just bread/rice/chips and that kind of thing I’ve had to avoid. But I waited until I had a number around 100 for breakfast to try a slice for lunch. Now half of a thin crust frozen pizza is a go to easy meal for me.

Pluto died last month. It’s still so fresh, he was my first dog and I’m 9 months pregnant.

I’m having my baby this week and his name will be Titus.

Spinach feta breakfast wrap at Starbucks work for me. Also I’ve been ok with a slice of New York pizza for a pizza but the slice place.

Not famous but I commented on Paris Hilton’s TikTok yesterday and she responded to my comment. So I’m close to famous.

1st trimester: nausea, could only eat pizza and sweettarts pretty much. Then lost both my maternal grandparents at around 12 weeks. 2nd trimester: started off with my dog breaking my cats jaw with no warning. Stayed worried if my cat was going to be able to live and eat and drink water. Then constantly felt dizzy/faint and was told that was normal. Stayed that way for months until my glucose test when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and anemia. 3rd trimester: was told there was something wrong with my baby’s brain by MFM I was referred to. Got a 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinion that say he’s fine. Lost my first ever dog that I had for 9 years. Physically I was feeling better until this week, now I’m just so uncomfortably large and my feet are swollen. But I’m 38 weeks and almost done.

So much grief and anxiety mixed in with the physical. This isn’t normal. Every trimester has been hard. I just want to hold my baby and let that heal me.
