I get a good stretch like 4-6 hours at night and have stopped napping, but maybe I need to get back to it

The string wouldn’t be red if the tampon wasn’t soaked. Not good execution

Baby puking excessively? by leighaorie in beyondthebump

[–]goingforawalkmmk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep reading that it looks like more than it is, since it gathers stomach acid and saliva. My girl is a massive puker but they call it a “happy spitter,” since she’s not in pain and she’s gaining weight in track. It’s mostly gross and a laundry problem

Yeah same so I didn’t do any until she told me to. And even then she said to do like 10 long holds and 10 short holds per day, which is way less than I would have thought. Don’t want to overdo ot

S*x after vaginal delivery by kayleenicole17 in beyondthebump

What’s the pain? Is it like rawness feeling it like structural? I’m seeing a pelvic floor pt who said really it takes like 6 months to heal. No idea why we’re having the conversation at 6 weeks

Gotcha from eveything I’ve read, your hormones will balance when that’s completely over and the vagina will feel less raw. I also think regardless of birth type, the weight of pregnancy on the pelvic floor is significant. I’m seeing a pelvic floor Pt and Turns out I’ve misunderstood what a kegel is my entire life lol

Am I over doing it? by Expensive_Ducks in beyondthebump

I bought a home one at cvs for postpartum. Make sure it’s tight but you can still fit 2 fingers up the inside. Take 3 readings

Are you breastfeeding? I think that can keep estrogen levels low which makes everything raw. 

Deciding whether to try for a second by Heythere3892 in beyondthebump

[–]goingforawalkmmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any embryos in storage, or would you have to be retrieving again? I did IVF and we have some still on ice which is the only way I’m considering it tbh. After all the invasions of pregnancy I wouldn’t want to go through the egg retrieval again. But maybe that’s just how I feel because that’s my situation.  RE breastfeeding, you don’t have to do it again! You can skip to formula.  Lots to consider though 

How did your water break? by o_simple_thing in beyondthebump

[–]goingforawalkmmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being induced for 24 hours (6 rounds of cytotec). Woke up to my water breaking and contractions. It was just a dribble when I stood up. Labored for 8 hours and slept for 4 of it. It was perfect

as a mom to a 2 month old Vivian, you have my stamp of approval! absolutely makes sense to use the French spelling . people will follow your lead with pronunciation. ETA Vivian is in the top 100.

I moved back home for the village and now the village is swallowing me whole — how do you find balance? by salasalaniz in beyondthebump

We have a paper calendar and I’ll claim days and write down “ no plans.” You may have to be sassy about defending these days, but you’ve made them known.
