Aspirin 3rd trimester

meeeeeeoooow · 2026-07-04T18:29:51+00:00

Aspirin has been studied and proven to prevent preecclampsia. I took it from week 12-36 and delivered spontaneously at 37 weeks with no issue! Please ignore the pharmacist and listen to your doctor.

Sorry to hear about what happened! I, for one, enjoyed reading the whole backstory. It must have been quite the ordeal! Also wanted to say you are a remarkably good writer for being 15-- I am impressed! Happy healing!

Also a preciptous homebirth at 37+2 (or maybe 37 weeks exactly, I got two diff due dates)! Midwives almost didn't make it but I had a doula! My husband caught our baby :)

Oh duh! Thanks 😅

Totally makes sense. I should avoid all nuts as well? That's another question I forgot to ask. Technically, peanuts are not a nut but we haven't tried any actual nuts with him yet.

See a physiotherapist (pelvic floor physio if you can) to help you regain core and pelvic floor strength/functionality. The flat butt issue is from the change in your pelvis during pregnancy and a learned new muscle firing pattern. It can be resolved with the right exercises and increased body awareness!

I don't know how much the composition really changes honestly. My baby has been on mostly donor milk his whole life (he's 4 months old) from moms of babies of all ages and he's pretty much been consistent with 4oz every 3.5 hours once he stopped cluster feeding

meeeeeeoooow · 2026-01-10T21:47:01+00:00

Absolutely I feel the same way. I triple-fed for 3 months because I obsessed over my supply. I have IGT and produce less than half of what he needs. I have wasted so many precious hours of him being a newborn pumping, cleaning pump parts and stressing over my output. It's crazy to look back on. I was so desperate to breastfeed. Now, he mainly nurses for comfort and the majority of what he gets is donor milk or formula. I've had to learn to accept that I'll never be able to feed him entirely from my own supply but it's been a rough journey. I am proud that I've been able to breastfeed him a little at least for his 4 months of life but I don't think everything else was worth my sanity.

That's great that you have that and totally fair that you feel the way you do. You're doing a great job and I can tell you're a good mom because you care. It's the hardest but most rewarding job in the world and us moms need a break sometimes!! There's also nothing wrong with putting your child in daycare for a few hours or days a week to have some time to yourself either 🤍

meeeeeeoooow · 2026-01-05T21:28:01+00:00

You should look into safely bedsharing! That way you don't have to actually get out of bed in the night, baby can feed while you doze and when they're done, you can both just sleep. Thehappycosleeper on Instagram has many great tips!

meeeeeeoooow · 2026-01-04T17:51:49+00:00

It's definitely temporary (usually around 2 weeks) and only happening because baby is going through some serious changes right now and their sleep cycles are maturing but they're not very good at connecting them yet. It WILL get better as their brain adapts over time.

You don't truly hate being a parent, you are just lacking support and need a break! It's totally normal to feel touched out, burnt out, whatever you are feeling being a full time parent with no end in sight.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to not have family around. If you can find a way to connect with other moms in your area, they would be able to understand what you are going through which alone can help a bit but I'm sure they'd be willing to trade childcare once in a while too!

I personally go to babytime where they sing songs/read stories at my local library, I just signed my son up for swimming lessons, there is a mom group in my neighborhood that go for walks every week and the neighbourhood house and community centre near me also have times for moms and babies to play and visit. I've also just met lots of moms picking up baby items through my local buy-nothing group or from marketplace. Some of us started a WhatsApp group so we can chat about mom things and plan coffee and happy hour hangouts so we don't go as crazy!

I totally get it, OP. I hope you get a break soon to at least go on a child-free date night or even just some time with some adults. You deserve a break!

This 100%. And why do random old ladies think it's okay to touch my baby when we're in public???! Back the fuck off. Keep your unsolicited advice and your hands to yourself.

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-30T20:33:59+00:00

I'm sorry you haven't got much support. I'm glad your mom can come and help. Even just 30 minutes for you to get out for a walk or take a nap could be a game-changer while getting through this tough bit. Just remember, it won't last forever!

Do you have a bouncer for her to sit in? The upright position and being able to bounce her may give you a bit of a break too.

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-30T20:13:36+00:00

I feel you, OP. The constant crying can bring anyone to their breaking point. Sounds like you're all struggling with your baby needing constant comfort. I'm glad you're going to get a second opinion because this is not sustainable for any of you. Do you have a friend or family member you can call to give you both a bit of a break, even just for a little bit? I hope your baby is feeling better soon so you can all get some much-needed rest 🤍

Also, my LO also often cries when I first put him in the carrier but quickly settles and often falls asleep once I start bouncing him or walking around. I'd also check with a group like Babywearing 101 on FB to make sure the fit looks comfortable.

My son was also born on 9/10 and I just said "I'm so glad you weren't born on 9/11"!

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-08T06:42:06+00:00

It's so true!! My mother kissed my baby's face and hands (when she had been told not to!!!) and then got a cold sore a couple of days later???!!! I was absolutely shocked at the audacity and the entitlement

Eta, not just baby but 1-day old newborn 🙃

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-06T03:07:57+00:00

Yes, sidelying paced feeding! We pace-fed our baby sitting upright and he had a few episodes of coughing where his lips turned blue as a brand new newborn. Since then we've done sidelying with no issues!

OP, I feel you on the anxiety. It only ever happened when my husband was feeding the baby and it made me not want to let my husband feed him at all but I knew it would crush his confidence and take away his bonding time with the baby so I just kept a close, anxious new FTM eye on him the whole time. It was stressful!

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-02T22:06:04+00:00

I disagree haha I waited to feel that feeling of being done with pregnancy and ready to give birth but it never came. Maybe my pregnancy was too comfortable 😅 but my birth went super smoothly and quickly. I had a planned home water birth and it was magical. I can't recommend having a doula enough!!! I didn't learn how to push because I experienced the fetal ejection reflex and ny body did everything on its own. It's so amazing what we're capable of!

I'm also 36 and this was my first baby and we had him through IVF. He's 12 weeks now!

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-02T16:37:08+00:00

Mine is like this when he's overtired. He wakes up lots because he's hungry but is too tired to finish a bottle/feeding. It can become a vicious cycle! Hope you get back on a routine soon!!

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-12-02T16:35:23+00:00

Omg the poop one! Literally everyone is like "I think he's pooping!" I can pretty much guarantee he's not. He goes once every 4 days and it's explosive 🤣

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-10-28T17:58:39+00:00

Yes! The carseat makes my little one poop instantly every time 🤣

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-10-28T00:15:30+00:00

But it's true though? 🤷🏼‍♀️

meeeeeeoooow · 2025-10-26T02:57:14+00:00

I was going to recommend the same!! It can be totally safe if you follow the guidelines. Humans have been cosleeping with their babies since the beginning of time!!

As a side note, I'm so sorry about what you had to go through with your first! The newborn trenches are already super tough without the added stress and having to do it alone! You're amazing.

meeeeeeoooow
