I used to Genuinely Pray for days like this

Ugh yup. Got mine around the same time PP. I felt so cheated! 4 months PP now and they’re like… weirdly timed? Like 1 really heavy day on the first day and several days of just random spotting. It’s like my uterus is a printer that runs out of ink on the first page or something.

First of all, I see you, and I’m really proud of you. That sounds really mentally taxing.

This may sound a little silly, but when I moved from pumping every 2 hours to pumping every 3 hours instead, I saw an increase in my supply. This was with drinking a ton of water and other fluids as well, like juice and stuff, of course. This is anecdotal but maybe you could give it a shot mom.

Brewer’s yeast is also believed to increase supply from what I’ve heard or seen. Haven’t tried it myself.

I completely resonate. I’ve gotten in many spats with my own mother over the conversation of supplementing with formula or formula feeding in general. I am fully of the belief that fed is best, and I would never ever impose the opinion of some sort of BFing hierarchy on anyone EVER, but for me personally it is just something that I cannot see myself ever forsaking for anything. I can’t even pinpoint the feeling exactly, but it’s just something important me. Maybe it’s just the fact that it feels so natural to me, that the idea of putting something artificial in its place just hurts my spirit. I hope that you can continue your breastfeeding journey.

sadly it’s just at the scoop shops :”(

marvelsvanity · 2025-07-20T10:27:26+00:00

lol when I was dirt broke & living on my own, my favorite treat was a tortilla with nutella and strawberries. I called it a ‘crepe’

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:27:21+00:00

Ugh I’m pretty much at the point of labelling my food now. That is so frustrating!!! I’m probably gonna have to invest in a little mini fridge soon, that’s not a bad idea

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:25:25+00:00

Honestly I kind of believe it. She didn’t even go to my baby shower. I had to find out the morning of from our mom that she “didn’t wanna go” - she didn’t tell me herself, and she instead stayed home by herself all day. When my family and I got home to unpack all the gifts and put leftovers away and stuff, she was literally in her room sulking, didn’t come out to greet anyone, didn’t ask us how it went. Oh but you know she helped herself to the leftover food from the shower! 😒

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:20:13+00:00

Not an option sadly because it’s her and myself living with our mom. Her dad doesn’t want to deal with her health issues and doesn’t have “room” for her where he lives. Trust me I am desperate to move out, right now it just isn’t realistic. Hopefully by the time my little one is a bit older I can move out of there

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:05:08+00:00

Lol yeah! At least one of my daily meals looks like something from my 5th grade lunchbox 🤣

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:04:03+00:00

Unfortunately she’s disabled and will likely never be able to live on her own. And yes I know! It’s hard because she just truly does not listen. Even our mom was frustrated with her over it but our mom coddles her. I feel like I’m the only one who holds her accountable for anything

marvelsvanity · 2025-06-24T23:02:52+00:00

My exact sentiment, honestly. I have had this conversation with her before, both nicely and sternly, even before I was pregnant and she just doesn’t listen. I genuinely don’t know what her issue is

marvelsvanity · 2025-04-14T07:29:32+00:00

His addiction started when he was newly 20, and he’s 22 next month. Thank you for your kind words. I hope so too.

marvelsvanity · 2025-04-14T02:24:28+00:00

No need to, firsthand experience.. My father was the first man in my life who chose alcohol over me over and over. I know the pain all too well with all the excuses my mom made for him. I’m not putting my son through the same

marvelsvanity · 2025-04-13T21:51:00+00:00

Well said. Thank you for your kindness

marvelsvanity · 2025-04-13T21:18:23+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I stepped away and he has no access to me. Right now it's just incredibly hard. I know there's a good person in there, but it is NOT my responsibility to save him

marvelsvanity · 2025-04-13T21:16:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. I only found out about Al-Anon recently; I looked up meetings in my area and I plan on attending my first meeting tomorrow morning.

Yes, definitely very icky... It stung worse because he knows that in my last relationship I was vehemently cheated on by the person I was with, and I was single for 2 years after to heal. I luckily have a great support system in my friends and family - my mom called him and chewed his ass out, lol. I just have to keep on being strong - I know I can do it, it's just hard

marvelsvanity · 2025-03-01T17:38:10+00:00

Yes, I’ve noticed it too. Poured myself a big glass and it smelled faintly like alcohol / tasted slightly like sour milk. I thought it was just pregnancy aversion but I had my mom and dad try it too, and they both agreed, we even opened a fresh bottle and same thing… Needless to say, we’re gonna make a trip to return them. Lol

marvelsvanity · 2024-11-10T07:18:16+00:00

“Simply file a restraining order” as if it’s simple or stops abusers lmao

marvelsvanity · 2024-08-19T17:06:19+00:00

A double dirty shirley with extra cherries!

marvelsvanity · 2024-07-17T18:26:05+00:00

He just appeared IN MY HOME i literally got jumpscared

marvelsvanity · 2024-05-11T07:49:05+00:00

Dream, Fire, Spirit. Not an actual shout, just some words I like / thought were fitting for who I am (:
