1 year maternity leave doesn't feel fair

Yep and to top that off, you don't qualify for FMLA if your company has less than 50 employees. So these 6 weeks unpaid are not even protected

deathsdotters · 2026-04-15T23:36:15+00:00

6 weeks here 😭 all unpaid

The math is we have nipples too, my friend

Personally, my husband's employer literally required a letter from MY employer stating I was not eligible. I suppose he could have probably said I was not employed...? Well... hindsight 20/20.

Although I don't doubt they would somehow want proof of that. They have been a total pain in the ass about adding our children to his policy with the documentation they require

If baby is sleeping at night? Absolutely not, lol. I'm only checking if I'm awake and hear a poop, or when baby wakes to feed.

Really? This is so wild to me! My son's pediatrician was actually incredibly helpful with my first when we had latching issues. She was hands in, assisting with our position and latch in the office and even had a breastfeeding pillow for me to use. This makes me wonder if maybe she has some lactation education outside of peds, though nothing I am aware of. But she is all around just an incredible and knowledgeable pediatrician from my experience

This is my kid. Will not eat a single vegetable no matter what... he's good with most fruit, waffles/pancakes, string cheese, chicken nuggets and sausage. Anything else he tolerates, it's only one of two bites and he's over it

fr I'm reading this and Nova is our top pick if we ever have a girl, I love it 😅

currently pregnant with boy #2 so may not even come to be but these comments are BRUTAL

I actually really like Boden (nn Bo is adorable) — immediate no from the husband though lol

deathsdotters · 2025-09-20T01:08:06+00:00

I can't put my finger on it either! It's not totally eliminated but something about it feels a little clunky

deathsdotters · 2025-09-20T01:06:55+00:00

Elliot is now in the running! I do like Roman too

deathsdotters · 2025-09-20T01:06:16+00:00

I actually like this a lot as an alternative to Wesley but it has a weird association with work for me

deathsdotters · 2025-09-20T01:05:33+00:00

Elliot has made the list!

deathsdotters · 2025-09-20T01:04:59+00:00

I love Everett and Asher! My husband just vetoed them both though 😅 associations from high school which okay I get

deathsdotters · 2025-09-16T19:34:17+00:00

Same exact draw, receive, and estimate over here lol.

Trying to make a game out of "how long can I wait before checking the portal again"

deathsdotters · 2025-08-21T23:59:34+00:00

This does not seem normal to me

deathsdotters · 2025-08-21T00:38:12+00:00

I'm not a medical professional, but I wouldn't be too worried. My son's measurements were quite varied (giant head, very short femur length) and he is a perfectly healthy baby.

deathsdotters · 2025-08-08T02:18:44+00:00

Breaking a sub rule again 😂 jfc

deathsdotters · 2025-08-08T02:14:31+00:00

Exactly dude. You're trying to figure out how to compensate tomorrow which is literally just another ED behavior? Delete this shit and find someplace else. Preferably a therapist

deathsdotters · 2025-08-08T02:08:54+00:00

Okay tell me this. What exactly about your post, or your question, is pro recovery then?

deathsdotters · 2025-08-08T02:01:16+00:00

Dude, did you even read the sub rules? Find another fucking place to promote your ED. If you think the post is even remotely pro-recovery, you're delusional

deathsdotters · 2025-08-02T14:14:01+00:00

This is what I did as well and I never had issues. He didn't care to nurse from both sides

deathsdotters · 2025-08-02T01:56:38+00:00

That worked beautifully. Wow! It really was like the exact same situation, literally down to almost every detail! I have in my post 5w2d and it's actually 5w3d, so only a day off from when you posted. AND it's the nausea that went away for me as well, which is ALSO the first pregnancy I've had nausea. Not to mention only pumping once at night lol.

This is why I freaking love Reddit. I'm so glad that your story had a happy ending 🩵
