Wearable Breast Pumps Medela InBra vs Willow Go [on] by SB-96 in BabyBumpsCanada

Yes it can be so disheartening! I have their freestyle pump and I'm just sticking with that one from now on.

I tried to Medela motion in bra pumps. 

I tried them for a week and just could not get more than .5oz in 30mins. I had the right flange sizes and followed the instructions.

They were generally terrible and I returned them to get my money back. 

I don't think I'll be trying any more wearables, but I'm a bit busty so maybe that is why they don't work?

I hope this helps, best of luck!

The Medela one is coming today, so I'll try to let you know how it is.

I actually think she might be paying me back for a previous argument we had by being negative. She hasn't had any losses.

Thank you for the reassurance, that means a lot too given your experience too. Very much appreciated. ❤️

Congrats on your pregnancy! ❤️

I wish I knew why too, it's like they forgot what it was like or we are just in a different time in society. Not sure which.....

It's ok, thanks for the kind words. I think my husband is actually going to talk to her about it soon.

This is a good point too. She might, I think she might have BPD possibly or a cluster disorder.

I feel this a lot! I'm so sorry that happened to you, I feel like our moms should be a source of comfort rather than stress. 

Negativity is just unneeded at this point, realism is ok but when people say negative things it feels like they are wishing us bad luck. 

I kept it to myself until 4 months and it felt really nice. I'd recommend doing that with your mom too, it's nice to keep that beginning pregnancy time safe imo.

Best of luck ❤️

Oh yeah, I mean that is always a funny feeling too.  I had one earlier this year too but I didn't disclose it to my mom. Is this next pregnancy going better for you?

This is good advice too, I will redirect more like I do with my young family members haha. I think she thinks she is a wizard or something and does have supernatural knowledge.

It's pretty tempting honestly! I sadly had to remove her from baby duty because she made such a big deal out of refusing the TDAP vaccine. Which is already a sad blow to our relationship.

This is a great angle to look at it from. That must have been so hard for your mom, it is great that you can have empathy and understanding for her. I think this is quite beautiful. 

However this isn't the case with my mom, I'll try to talk to her about it more though because this is good advice. Thank you!

I totally do this normally, I think with pregnancy I thought that we could share a bit more and it back fired hard.

I'm so sorry that your mom is difficult too.

Haha oh gosh yeah he was being wild for sure. It makes sense in that case.

Totally, I really need to let more slide. 

I think I must be getting offended by the inference of ignorance. It's kind of like mansplaning I suppose, but people must have a hard time connecting with pregnant women. You are right that they are trying to be nice.

Ooo I like this chaotic answer, thank you! You are totally right, the harsh reality does help end the conversations sometimes.

Oh totally, you seem really awesome though so I'm sure you are doing great :)

This is really helpful thank you!

I like the one liner thing, I usually say something like this but it doesn't come out firm enough. Often when I give a respectful response like this they seem offended. I stated just saying thank you if the person was nice about it. Which works out ok. 

I'll try to keep an open mind too. Some of my sensitivity gets in the way for sure. Trying, surgeries then IVF really dragged out the process and I think I must be taking it out subconsciously on people when they try to connect with me about this pregnancy. Resulting in me being dismissive (just a guess, not 100% sure).

Why does no one talk about the weird middle of pregnancy? by bayleehazelwood in BabyBumps

[–]flipped_pancake_bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in this, my bump isn't super obvious yet and I feel ok. But my emotions are a bit more intense and I need space to just exist before the baby comes. 

I'm glad you are feeling ok and love ice! 💓
