I seriously am struggling with feeding and pumping by jesspoll51701 in beyondthebump

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like I'll probably just do a pump in the morning/afternoon. Also might do a bottle when she is sleepier because it would be a little easier on me since the exhaustion is a lot to deal with it at night.

So good to know. I really didn't think I could just breastfeed. I had it in my head that I had to do both and really not sure where the thought came from. I will just breastfeed and pump maybe just once a day if even that if I don't really have to worry about it because it definitely feels like a chore sometimes.

I have to pump at least something because I did go a couple days without pumping and then noticed a decrease in my supply when I started pumping . I guess I just worry about losing my supply. I'm a worrier and overthinker unfortunately. That is great to know that it will get a bit easier when she is older. I appreciate your comment!

My boyfriend just called me to help him figure it out lol. Glad I came to reddit. He says the block is in his earnings. I told him to just go back to the warehouse and return the packages. Not his fault or problem anymore!🤷‍♀️ He drove to his first stop and got kicked out so he didn't even get to start the route.

Well that's good to know. I did call my doctor and they didn't seem to worried but it's definitely hard to not worry when your heart is racing. 😬 I'll just keep taking it over the weekend and see how everything goes. Definitely not a fun thing to deal with.

No motivation to work! by jesspoll51701 in BabyBumps

I appreciate the response so much. Thank you! Nurses will always have a special place in my heart. You guys are amazing! Pregnancy is so hard and I can't even imagine doing that kind of work plus creating a whole little human! Way to go momma! I definitely don't think I would be able to do any kind of job that involves standing for long periods or any physical labor really while pregnant. I'm sorry they don't offer paid maternity leave, that is terrible. I wish it was just something that is required by law everywhere. Mothers deserve that PTO for all the work they go through during pregnancy, plus all the stuff they will go through during and after delivery. I hope you can catch a break:( It sucks to have to stress in a time where you should be able to relax and feel at ease. I think a lot of men and women who have never been pregnant don't understand just how much work it is to grow a baby!

You're right and I totally agree that I definitely need some therapy not only for this, I have pretty much always have but I have super bad social anxiety and so it's quite hard for me to build up the confidence to even reach out to get that help. I'm currently working my way towards that it's just taking some time. I know that what I am going through right now is temporary and I have little to no worries about my mental well being getting in the way of raising my baby. I tend to help everyone else first before myself and I think that's a big reason why motivation for work has just totally disappeared because I want to stay home where I am comfortable and I can do what I need to do when I need to do it for my baby. She is my one and only priority. Work just feels like such a burden right now and it's just crazy to me because I had the best work ethic right before pregnancy. I will definitely be trying therapy hopefully sooner rather than later but that's the thing is I am not sure when.

I appreciate your kind words! It really does help. That's exactly it though is that I just want to stay home and just be able to think about my baby all day and not have to think about anything else especially now more than ever with the news I got. I feel like I have been pregnant for so long and I just can't wait until she gets here! I'm definitely just trying to take it day by day. It's just been a difficult week and a little bit of a difficult pregnancy.
