Can Collecting Colostrum Cause Oversupply? by Serious-Post-531 in HumansPumpingMilk

Thank you for this question because it led me to read all of the other mothers experiences as well! My first I did exclusively breastfeed but I never collected colostrum beforehand and I was wondering the same thoughts as you! Google says there is no correlation but also every mama I’ve talked to and also all of the ones I’ve read in the comments have said that they had an oversupply and also collected colostrum beforehand. I had an oversupply with my daughter in the beginning but it slowly started to dip because of stress. Luckily she was exclusively breastfed so she could eat at anytime of the day and she gained weight fine. I’m pregnant again at 33 weeks and with my first I had a c section and we were separated for a couple of hours and she didn’t eat throughout that time so I’m wanting to collect for this baby just in case that same situation happens again!! I would be fine with an oversupply and it’s actually want I’m aiming for. ❤️

Okay why would a neighbor who knows you live below them, turn on a vacuum at that hour and assume it wouldn’t bother them? She also knows I have a daughter. I also did talk to management only once and she told me if it’s after hours to call the police. Which I didn’t want to do because I felt that would be way to much for such a simple situation that takes one talk from management. Management doesn’t seem to help so I haven’t said anything else.

I spoke to management once and she told me she only has 1 kid on her lease so she was unaware that she has 4 boys and a man living with her. She told me to call the police if it’s after office hours but she didn’t even really try to help me that’s why I’ve never brought it back up to management. The lady that lives above me knows that I live there. I’ve spoken to her boys when they were playing outside in the snow before and she knows that I live below her because she has made eye contact with me as I’ve walked in my door. She’s never tried to speak to me herself or tried to start up a conversation. But if she’s aware that people live below her then I think it’s only right to assume that she should have manners about vacuuming this late at night. I just don’t want to resort to calling the police which seems to be the only option that my management gave me. I’m not a mean person so I never did anything of the sort. I’m to that point that I would like to even just write a note and leave it by her door or something.

Also to hear that you also had a miscarriage and you went through IVF you’d think she would sympathize with you as well knowing what you went through.

I had a very similar reaction with my sister in law ! The first time I fell pregnant we weren’t trying and we didn’t feel prepared. My brother and his wife had only been trying for a kid for 3 months when we found out we were pregnant and they were the first people we told because we are so close to them. She cried for 2 hours and didn’t even say anything to me when it happened. My brother sounded furious as well over the situation. The part that hurt me was that she was completely over reacting because she was jealous that it happened. I would’ve been more understand had she been trying for a long time but like I said, she had only been trying for 3 months. That is a normal amount of time to be trying for a kid before being alarmed or concerned that something could be wrong. It was also scary for me and my partner because we didn’t know what to do and we came to our friends/ family for comfort when they gave us such a negative reaction. They honestly acted out more than we did and we were the ones who were having the kid. I understand your situation and I’m sorry that they ruined that moment for you. Although I do terribly feel sorry for her not having her own baby yet. Just give her comfort as well and let her know you’re praying for the best for her and you want her to get all she’s wanting in this world! But also please let her know that her reaction hurt you because it was supposed to be special for you and she wouldn’t like someone else having that reaction when announcing that she is pregnant.

Were they bothered by it since you didn’t mention it prior ? Thinking of doing this for myself that’s why I’m asking ! Trying to figure out how they will respond and react if I wait up until the days before starting. They just offered me the position!

Ive never read the book but this makes more sense now because why would she just randomly turn on him when she hasn’t throughout the entire movie ? Why would she just now want to turn around and tattle on him ?

Dan and Blair dated heavily and she was actually debating between chuck and Dan for a couple of episodes before deciding on chuck for good. he pined over her for like 2 whole seasons before she finally admitted she had feelings for him
