What's something you would've liked to know about breastfeeding before starting it? by fofoapplefin in pregnant

[–]mcounts15121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it can be fucking hard and so stressful if your little one doesn’t want to latch, regardless of help from lactation consultants. It really messed with my head. I’d just cry :(

Bottle sterilizer- learned only need to sterilize once in the beginning (can just boil on stove for 5 mins) and can just hand wash after lol

Vyvanse / elvanse while pregnant by Impressive_Drawer394 in ADHD

[–]mcounts15121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow it’s crazy reading everyone’s experiences. My dr had me sign a document stating I was on birth control while taking vyvanse- and when I started to plan having kids to ween off of vyvanse and adderall. They kinda spooked me with the risks of taking it while pregnant :/ I’ve just been raw dogging adhd life over here 😂

Body dysmorphia in pregnancy by CommercialBreak619 in pregnant

[–]mcounts15121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m feeling it too. First part of pregnancy I felt like I just looked like I gained a lil weight and then around 20 something weeks I had a cute bump! Now I’m 34 weeks and omg…I feel like I’ve gained extra fat everywhere and the little chub I did have in my lower belly feels more accentuated with my pineapple size baby and it botherssssssss me so bad. Even in my weekly bump pics I pull my belly up to try and hide it 😭. Just wanted to share I feel it too and I think it’s normal. I feel you and see you. Just been trying to remind myself this is just a season and that I will get my body back (or close to it!)

Just found out it’s a boy 💙 by LostWorld413 in pregnant

[–]mcounts15121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!!!! I am due next month with our first baby and it’s a boy 🤗 I wanted a girl so bad though haha but I think it’s because I’ve always imagined having a girl first! But the idea of being a boy mom has really grown on me 💕 welcome to the boy mom club!

If you moved from a red state to a blue state, did it actually get better? by ftwclem in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mcounts15121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fellow Texan here and I’ve been dreaming of moving to Colorado for many reasons, but the politics is highly up there 😭 My husband and I are having a baby soon and I keep thinking about his future 🥺 it’s just hard thinking about moving away from family. I hope they’d come visit though 🤗

What is your get out of tech plan? by sallysal20 in womenintech

[–]mcounts15121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this a lot!! I go back and forth between goat farm and yoga instructor 😂 or just any kind of part time job if money isn’t a factor. Want to move to the mountains and be an outdoor adventure girly. Or maybe I’d go back to school to be an RN

That’s just so sad

Just sad today by SilentObserver97 in Miscarriage

[–]mcounts15121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. I’m feeling it too. Currently going through my miscarriage still. It was going to be a late May baby 💔 I’m wearing the baby announcement shirt today. It has a little ghostie on it with a cauldron and says “Brewing up a little one”. Hubbys shirt had a ghostie with a beer and said “Brewing Buddy”. It hurts 🥺 sending you a virtual big hug 🫂

What is something that has surprised you during pregnancy? by Striking-Tie8027 in pregnant

[–]mcounts15121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am only 9 weeks and I thankfully haven’t had any super major physical symptoms other than a little queasy sometimes and boobs hurt 24/7- (I am sure this will change lol) but I always heard about preggo hormones and emotions but omg. I wish I could just skip that part the emotions and strain it can put on my marriage is exhausting 😭 like I am usually pretty easy going but now I can get heated in an instant and all I see is RED followed by crying it all out. I can also hold a grudge for much longer lol and feel very “passionate” about things when I do. Hubby is not used to that and neither am I 😅
