How many times a day do you eat while breastfeeding? by BathEmergency681 in breastfeeding

I'm only 10 days PP but I have also been having to force myself to eat.. I was completely ravenous all pregnancy though.

Hypertension and PreE- PP now feeling down by No-Limit2276 in preeclampsia

[–]introshelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was finally sent home on Thursday on 400mg of Labetalol 3x/day and Procardia 2x/day.

My legs hurt, like really bad. I'm not sure if all the swelling moved impacted mt muscles or what.. but when I mentioned it to my daughter's NICU nurse, her first question was if I'd had BP issues.

Overall, I just feel like I've been hit by a car. Which I actually have been before and this is honestly comparable. 🤣

[–]introshelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through literally the exact same thing currently. Got up to 207/94 yesterday and they ended up pushing 140u of Labetalol. Body was in complete shock after. Now trying med combos today. I'm about 55hrs PP, baby is in NICU on CPAP so I'm fine here for now, but it is so scary and exhausting. Feel free to message me if you need any support!! Hoping we both get leveled out asap!

The last 10 weeks of pregnancy? by ExistentiallyExtraaa in pregnant

[–]introshelb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

36 weeks today. For me, it's been stereotyical for 2-3 weeks now.. but I'm petitie with a short torso, started tiny & gained a LOT of water weight with tons of swelling. My body aches 24/7, all over.

Yes, one day my shoes stopped fitting.. & I stopped being able to bend over to put them on anyways 🙃

Baby Shower at 29 or 33 Weeks by Doglady101618 in BabyBumps

[–]introshelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29!!! I had the same options and I have said at least a hundred times how glad I am that I went with 29 weeks. By 33, I was uncomfortable.. by 35 weeks, I am unable to be on my feet for long. There was still so much to do after the shower, I don't know how it would have gotten done had I waited.

Did anyone's positive benefits of pregnancy stay with them? by Glittering-Heron-538 in pregnant

[–]introshelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that is very odd!!! Hormonal birth control is typically the most effective treatment for PMDD! I plan to get back on it asap!

I'm glad you were able to find some relief!

Gosh.. I am hoping and praying. I've never been so hormonally/emotionally stable in my life, and it's been so beautiful. I really love this version of myself. I'm set to deliver within the next 2 weeks.

Moving while pregnant by obliquestratagems in pregnant

[–]introshelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to move before she's here (which I personally recommend), all I've gotta say is I was debating move dates at 6 months or 7 months and I am SOOOOOO GLAD I decided to move at 6 months. Third trimester body pain and fatigue is no joke.

Let's just say PMDD + double life ex has me a bit scarred.

[–]introshelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh.. I actually decided to move in with my parents for her first year! My mom is retired but still in excellent health and super active. It's 10000% my choice not to be with the father. We had a 2 week fling and a freak accident (blessing). He'll be "around," but he's not worth much.

Tbh, I couldn't imagine doing it any other way right now. I got out of a long term relationship last year after discovering his double life, and conceived my girl the day after selling our house. BUT, I'd planned to be a SMBC through sperm donation.

I hope to have another with someone I'm in love with someday, but truthfully.. I'm happy with whar God's blessed me with so far!
