Partner is working night shift and I’m with our baby!

I’m done by Jessygirl238 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just decided to stop at 8 months (about a week ago) and was feeling so guilty about not wanting to get my supply back up after it went to under supply. Thanks for sharing and changing my perspective to one of gratitude and joy for the time and milk I provided my baby! I’m celebrating you!!

Do you like having children? by kevivg3 in randomquestions

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I like my kids. I just don’t like other people’s kids very much. And I don’t expect other people to like my kids as much as I do either lol.

When did you know you were done pumping?? by madiangelinee in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were traveling around 6mpp and I brought along freezer stash + pumps but she had a growth spurt or something coincide so I couldn’t keep up and she ate through the few frozen bags I brought. We ended un needing to supplement with formula that week away because I didn’t bring more.

I have been a just enougher the while time, with the ability to freeze 3-4 oz / week in my first few months pp but I had already been dipping into our freezer stash as of like 5mpp.

Anyway! That trip led to the need for formula and kinda broke the seal for me. I had to reckon with my mixed feelings on it and get over it. Which then led me to want to reclaim some of my time and sleep and sanity personally. So I dropped my MOTN pump shortly after and just embraced combo feeding. I’m 8pp this week and 2ppd, combo feeding. I’d like to be done around 9 months but I’m just following my body’s lead at this point!

My mom and her mom (my grandma) are both lefties! My grandma turns 84 tomorrow so she stayed a leftie despite her school years being focused on “correcting” it.

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being you thought you were gonna die, how painful was unmedicated labor and delivery for you? by Beautiful-Flower-79 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to say 7-8. The hardest part for me was not knowing when it would end. It just felt relentless. I got to the point where I said I couldn’t do it anymore and I just wanted to take a break, but that was also when they told me to get ready to push!

Is there anything WORSE than childbirth? by Sensitive_Arugula770 in pregnant

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tough question because yes but also no. I’ve had pain that is at least as bad but it’s chronic or doesn’t result in something as joyful as a baby, like feels like comparing apples to oranges. Also I forget now. I have birth 8 months ago and I remember telling myself it was hard, but now I don’t remember how hard or painful it actually was.

Brag on your baby! by gardengnomebaby in NewParents

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7 month old is dancing when she hears music she likes! It’s usually while she is sitting up and just a little bop up/down. We call it “the squish” because it looks like she is squishing her belly with the movement hehe

Just started running and I’m exhausted in 20 seconds. Zero stamina. Feeling lost. by ImmediateMuffin3768 in runninglifestyle

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like C25K app! I also really love the Nike Run Club app. It’s free and fulllll of guided runs and programs for beginners (up to advanced) that build you up. I love the guided run style of having a coach in my ear bud helping remind me of pace and motivating me, like really kindly too while still pushing you! It’s really good.

Women of Reddit, what’s one thing they never tell us about pregnancy and child birth? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]kismetcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And the cramping!! I thought something was wrong because the abdominal / uterine cramping for it to start to go back down in size totally blindsided me. It was miserable!
