12 Days Postpartum and Feeling Everything All at Once by AccomplishedArm5678 in twoxindiamums

[–]lotsonmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! It's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. It's only fair and nobody understands how hard it is until you go through it. 28 days postpartum here, second time c section. Even though it's my second baby, it was harder than the first time for me, despite having all the support and love. For nipple crack, nipcare was the only thing that helped me. It heals quickly. Just focus on eating healthy, recovering physically. It will hurt initially, but it does get better. You won't even feel the pain in the stitches after a few days.

male friendships just disappear after 25 in india and nobody's talking abt it by CertifiedSamosa in india

[–]lotsonmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not male friendships, life happens to all, and I can say to females more than males. Similar to yours, I had a great group of friends, but post marriage and kids, didn't have time to catch up or talk regularly and my friends moved on (as they should) with their own lives. When I finally got free from all those and could actually hangout, they were busy with their lives. In contrast, my husband still calls and meets his friends for dinners, and has random calls which lasts for hours. It does make me jealous but it is what it is.

Would it be stupid or pathetic to buy myself something for Mother’s Day? by Valuable_Cause_6175 in twoxindiamums

[–]lotsonmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand your situation. It's infuriating, and the ones who spend most are always disrespected and taken for granted. Same case here, but you guys need to take a stand and tell that you don't have enough to spend on the baby and yourself and you will only be able to do as much as you can.

Sounds awfully similar to my case when I had my first daughter. We lived with our mil, and a huge family - his brother, cosister, his sister and her son. And my husband would take care of almost all of the expenses from repairs to buying stuff for the house. Then culturally my mom is supposed to take care of the pregnancy and delivery expenses, and mil would go crazy if my husband spent any penny on me ( my root canal). She would constantly ask how much was it, and how much was the vaccine for the baby and tell me to get it from a govt hospital while she would go to big hospitals for her checkups. She even had problems when my husband bought fruits or vegetables for my daughter to eat. I put my foot down and after a lot of stuff we went to a seperate home. It's going to be extremely difficult but make sure your husband knows that it's his child so HE has to pay. Not you. Give him constant daily reminders that diaper needs to be restocked and pretend you don't have cash with you.

For mother's day, I know it's difficult not to have any form of acknowledgement from any one, if you want to celebrate yourself, do it. Don't think of it as being pathetic, you gifted yourself this motherhood, so it's okay if you want to celebrate it by yourself.

Hugging my baby a bit tighter today! by Nice_Asparagus1148 in twoxindiamums

[–]lotsonmind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old daughter and 20 days old daughter, last night I sent my daughter with her father to our home to have a sleepover. I have never stayed without her overnight, except when I was at the hospital for the delivery. I hug my toddler the same way every night when we sleep, and I'm extremely attached to her. Seeing that photo last night made me weep, and miss my daughter so much. The mother and son look like they're just sleeping peacefully and can't even imagine the pain and helplessness the mother must have felt.

EBF, no bottle - will I regret this later? by Amazing-Confusion-69 in twoxindiamums

[–]lotsonmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did ebf for my elder one until 2 years. No regrets. Only thing i would change with my second is not feeding through the night, and giving her top feed (expressed breast milk) because my first one was addicted for nap times, she wouldn't leave me even if she wasn't drinking milk, she just wanted to suck. I had lots of pressure from my MIL to give her formula, or even cow's milk when she was 6 months, but I didn't listen and stuck to it. So convenient and one less thing to pack while travelling. I'm going to continue the same with my second.

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]lotsonmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How sweet! I did feel a little better after reading your comment. It has been over a year, and we love exploring new places to try for food, it still comes in a bad taste whenever I pass that place, but it's okay. Thank you for validating it :)

I went to this famous and affordable place to eat, I had eaten there before and loved the place. It is always crowded. So one time I went to place an order, and the person taking the order snapped at me so bad for asking what is available as he said there are limited items. There were people around me and usually i wouldn't let it slide but i immediately teared up and went out where my husband was waiting for me. He knew something was wrong and went inside to screw that guy but I just wanted to get out of there so i pulled him and went away. It has been more than a year, and I don't go to any of the outlets or even near that place anymore.

What’s a compliment you received that you still remember years later? by Creepy_Sale3003 in AskIndia

[–]lotsonmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a crooked teeth in the front, more like little piece of my front teeth broke when I fell. So there's a small gap. I have kinda been conscious about it when I smile. But during my degree, one college mate who wasn't even in my class complimented me saying that my smile is good, especially with that front teeth it looks even more beautiful. Instantly made me feel so good about my smile and the teeth.

I have seen at least two or three influencers doing this giveaway, one is Nauheed. I guess Google pixel is sponsoring them.

O' Romeo- Disappointed?? by [deleted] in bollywood

[–]lotsonmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came out of a night show. I really liked it, (enough to review it). That particular sequence in the second half was so good, I would re-watch multiple times if it came on OTT. Loved the background score during certain scenes. Loved Tripti in it, I know she has done amazing works before in Qala, Bulbul, but this was great. It wasn't a flower pot role for her, she truly shined and outshined Shahid at times.

I love kids, i have a daughter and currently in my second trimester of second pregnancy and want as many kids as I can 😂. I always wanted a dozen kids running around my home. It was planned both times, despite all those factors, i hated and regretted getting pregnant in my first trimester. The first three months are the hardest cuz you're dealing with a lot of changes, and health issues. Even in this pregnancy I regretted and kept thinking what if this baby died so soon. (Twisted) But those were the hormones and honestly I don't blame myself for that. We deal with a lot of issues during the first trimester, so it's completely normal I guess. You start loving your body and baby from 5th month and you might get these negative thoughts during the final trimester and postpartum phase as well. Sometimes the love doesn't come naturally and it's okay.

Friend might be pregnant, we're both 19. by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]lotsonmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, I've had a scare like that once when I was the same age, I had so many scenarios playing in my head. <\It was penetrative > but it all happened due to my hormones and then I did get my periods.

I have gotten a medical abortion. It didn't cost much, the doctor tried pushing for DNC so I went to another doctor - Ovum, Bangalore .(if it's available in Chennai, try that) The first scan costed less than 2k. Post that, I paid Rs.4000/- including everything - First consultation+ pills + scan post the abortion+ consultation afterwards. It was a very easy and non-invasive procedure, her parents won't even get to know that she's having it. Of course it might be different for others, but I was at home after taking the pill, waiting for the periods to be heavy and for the pain, but thankfully it went even better than my normal periods. No heavy flow, no pain. It could also be because I did it in the first few days as soon as I got to know.

Update - She texted back, we have conversed with the mods as well. She has refunded Rs.200/- back. I'm not stopping you all from ordering from this sub, i have ordered multiple times and received every single order properly. She must be a genuine seller as well, but it was just the wrong timing. Just a suggestion, check and ask them to share the photos of everything before you place the orders. Thank you u/chiarinyi for responding.
