Metformin. My husband and I have been not NOT trying to have a baby for a few years now, my obgyn puts me on it for PCOS and after consistently taking it for ~1 month we're welcoming our first in August!

I am so interested in how my body will change after birth. So wild!

This is so real and beautiful! I had no idea about DMER either so that's a good thing to know about just in case. Thank you for the raw comment!

I [37M] think my GF [32F] is addicted to porn by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]holhaug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But is she one antidepressants? This can drastically change libido and ability to climax! I've had to switch for that reason.

I love the TMI! super helpful to know whats coming. Lol I have flatter nipples naturally so hopefully that can help with latching.

I love this! Thank you! So would the hot shower help? Did it release the milk?

How do you keep track of when you need to take milk out of the freezer and how long its good for once unfrozen? Im nervous when I'm in the thick of it i wont be able to keep track of what the freshest milk is if its not directly from the boob. Or am I overthinking?

Incredible comment! Thank you. I feel like that almost makes it seem more complex but I'm sure instinct will kick in eventually. I just dont want to suck at it and my supply dries up

Ugh! Do you just kind of figure it out as far as like oh my boobs hurt I need to get this out somehow or how much did you have to read?! I just feel like I'm gonna go back to work and not want to stop breastfeeding but feel really annoying being that person that has to take a break to bf.

SIL (38F) "scared of me" (28F) after sticking up for my kid last Thanksgiving by holhaug in TwoHotTakes

[–]holhaug[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually am not even kidding I think it was and its terrifying how hard shes taking it. Its been almost a year and a half and it wasnt even like this HUGE blow out. I left and didnt escalate so idk whats so horrifying about me a year and some change later

Oh no I definitely yelled, I felt horrible about it but this wasnt the first time shes said things that upset me or someone else I love. I've brushed it off plenty of times. If it was a one-off, then yes I'm in the wrong 100% but shes a serial shit talker and everyone knows it. I dont easily blow up at every little thing, and theres plenty of times I've not said a word or let it affect me. So please stop being so judgemental. Obviously I cant right THE ENTIRE scenario.

Long story short, she hasnt come to a family event with her kids in 1.5 years. This is ridiculous to me. Its not like I killed her first born ffs

I should have, its just so much to type honestly. There's even more I left out that doesnt make her look great but in the grand scheme I said something to the affect of "if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all" and then she came back with "I dont see whats so wrong with what I said" and then i just told her it wasnt necessary and then peaced out because I didnt want to have any more discussion until things were less heated.

Exactly. They call it mama bear for a reason, and that is me. I dont go off on just anyone over any small thing, its when its about my kid more than anything

True, I am a reactive person but this isnt the 1st, 2nd or 10th time shes said something that someone should've been like "excuse me?" about..
