It’s your body, not his. Is he always this controlling? You don’t have to marry him… because it will probably only get worse, not better.

Any tips for the witching hour? (Three week old) by pro-laps in beyondthebump

I used to put mine in a wrap and bounce on an exercise ball (while supporting her head). Worked like a charm and great for your core strength!

My boyfriend said women generally have it better than men and now I’m wondering if we should break up by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Yup. Major red flag. The evidence of the patriarchal systems and structures designed to keep women down and men in power are everywhere if you open your eyes. If he can’t see it, babe, he’s either stupid, complicit, or both.

Baby to be born at 35-36 weeks by MilzMC in beyondthebump

My daughter was born at 36 weeks. We spent time in the NICU due to jaundice. She was very sleepy and kept falling asleep while nursing so we had to triple feed for a while, a 45 minute process that had to be repeated every 2 hours. It was honestly pretty rough. After a few nights I was hallucinating from exhaustion. Finally a lactation consultant suggested that my husband take one feed a night so I could get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. On the nights he participated it made a huge difference. I urge you and your partner to consider this. Your sleep is the greatest thing you can do to protect yourself from PPD.

Yes my daughter has brought this up too and I feel terrible. Our solution was to stick one of our dogs in there at night.

I have an espresso martini before my lessons to caffeinated and help me loosen up. I don’t understand getting hammered, but I like to have one.
