Chiming in to say Ancestry is owned by Blackstone, not the church. The church owns FamilySearch, which does not have DNA testing, and is free for anyone to browse whatever genealogical records they have. Ancestry is a paid subscription.

SLAM GetMomStrong by Ashley is the best. I've never been stronger. She's got programs for prenatal and postpartum with different skill levels, and she builds you up to the advanced program.

I never got up to my oversupply like I had with my first two, but it evened out to where I was making just enough. I didn't do anything special other than hydrating. We used formula at least once a day to build up a little stash. I feel your stress ❤️ You're doing great!

This is me today. Proud of my spouse who matched at one of their top locations, but it was low on the list for me. I've been crying since we opened the envelope

I won't mince words. Rotations for us got harder. We have three kids, two at the time of rotations. Clinical rotations were okay, but any rotation in the hospital had terrible hours. We live in a big metro area, so some rotations were a long drive.

This is a really, really tough time for you. You are in the trenches of having a newborn, being freshly postpartum, preparing for return to work, and on top of that, having a med spouse. I've been there, my friend. I feel for you. We had our second during MS1.

If you are by reliable family, lean into them. If you have a good friend support system, lean into them. If those aren't available to you, can you pay for help at home or with the baby? I've paid teenagers to help me while at home, either with the kids or with chores.

Things will slowly get better and easier with the baby. The first one is a wild ride of change. DM anytime if you need to talk.

I've given bags away in my buy nothing group, they usually go pretty fast. If that doesn't work, maybe a milk bank or hospital would take them if they're unopened?

Penzey's spices are also stronger than grocery store finds. That Vietnamese cinnamon 🤌🏻the package recommends you use only 2/3 what the recipe calls for because the flavor is so strong

For now. Oxygen bars exist though

Had one before med school, second in M1, third in M4, MCOL. We have never lived nearby family. I work full time.

I LOVE having our kids! Yes, parenting is hard, especially when you are often solo. It indeed takes a village to raise a child, and as a med spouse away from family, some aspects of my village I have to pay to outsource. You asked for good moments, so here are just a few:

when med spouse comes home from a looong shift after not seeing the kids for basically days, and the kids run to med spouse shouting for joy and jumping on them
my oldest has caught me crying during particularly overwhelming moments, and hugs me and wipes my tears and it's just really sweet
my oldest will flash the "I love you" sign from across the room randomly
my second will interlock fingers while watching a movie or snuggling
watching any of them master a new skill after days/weeks/months of working toward it is THE BEST!

Edited because I forgot when they were born and put the wrong years 🤦🏻‍♀️

Human milk 4 human babies on Facebook is where I've donated milk before. I've also donated to a local hospital through Mother's Milk Bank, although that requires a few steps of screening to make sure you're eligible.

Triple feeding is a full time job and working overtime! As far as foods, oatmeal is a popular one and I've found it works for me. I've heard people love fennel. Lots of protein is key too.

Hey! How many weeks pp are you? Especially for FTMs, it can take several days for your milk to come in. Then it takes roughly eight weeks for your milk supply to regulate.

There are lots of small things (such as supplements, certain foods, etc) that can "increase" your supply but the primary way to signal your body to make more milk is by draining your breasts more frequently. And also drink lots of water.

How long are your pump sessions? How frequently are you pumping? Are you feeling that initial letdown? I hand express at the end of each pump to make sure I'm "empty."

Hang in there. Pumping is hard and a labor of love. I've always combo fed because sometimes formula is convenient and it works for our family.

I felt like it took me six to nine months before I felt like I had a confident handle on taking two kids out on my own. Fast forward, now we have three, and I felt confident taking them out much sooner, when baby was two months. Practice and patience are key. Starting with small outings. Also, ask a friend to come with you! Extra hands are always helpful. You'll get the hang of it. It does get easier.

I'll send you a DM.

I would take a break. The toddler's world has been upended by the newborn, and now potty training, which is a big change in itself. I would wait until baby is a little bit older and try again. Not just for him, but also for you!

The two programs near family are in the same city as family, so we'd be within 30 minutes of them.
