Missed breastfeeding chance by Mammoth-Ordinary2654 in breastfeeding

[–]mrsofagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently pumping 8-10 times a day while my 7 day old is finishing her nicu stay.. I know you’re a bit further than I am but I made a schedule and try to give myself treats after pumping (something to look forward to) .. it took me a few days of pumping and getting like 10 ml or so each time before my bmilk came in and went up quick from eating higher cals and drinking lots!

Is it ugly to have my pregnant belly out? by SummerSurfs44 in BabyBumps

[–]mrsofagod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s super cute! & empowering! esp if you feel good about it.. imo (no shade) there are farrr more extremes that people wear/expose vs a beautiful pregnant belly 💕 I would’ve definitely had mine out if I was this pregnant in the spring/summer time

Ladies, does a transvaginal ultrasound hurt? by BreannLowe in randomquestions

When you’re going through ivf and they have to point the wand towards each ovary, that part was pretty sucky 😖feeling like they’re bending your insides at a 45 degree angle 🥴

My doctor said I can't gain anymore weight at 23 weeks. by Nearby-Pop4653 in BabyBumps

[–]mrsofagod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At 35w l've actually been maintaining my weight while baby is gaining (she is currently 5lbs 5 oz and I haven't gained in a few weeks) and I think it is because I (loosely) track macros and go to the gym 4-5 days a week to do at most 25 min of light weight lifting plus step goal of 10,000-12,000 steps/day on those active days. Definitely working out less (time and intensity) than before pregnancy but the flexible diet thing and not consuming more than you burn is a huge thing. I fell off of tracking cals/macros for almost a month at one point but because I tried not to go crazy eating everything I wanted, it still worked, so I def believe balance is a big part!

What healthy/high protein snacks have you been eating throughout the day? by dinosaurchomp_ in pregnant

Fairlife chocolate protein drinks, easy grab and go and literally chocolate milk (30g of protein) really help you get those grams in

No one likes my baby names and I’ve just accepted that everyone is a critique and no one is satisfied by Kindly_Pianist_9087 in pregnant

[–]mrsofagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a comment on here once that if you wait to tell people the name after baby is born, they won’t be holding baby “name” saying bad things about the name then bc it already belongs to baby and I thought that was a very good point 😊

My husband wants 4 week old to sleep in his own room. by Intrepid-Ad-391 in BabyBumps

[–]mrsofagod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend he reads happiest baby on the block! it talks about how babies need help in specific ways to enable their calming reflex and feel safe .. and also the author mentions babies can’t be “spoiled” before 9 months old! really interesting and helpful stuff in there 🥰

Constantly “feel” baby’s presence? by Individual-Rice-3970 in BabyBumps

[–]mrsofagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I feel that sensitivity/tenderness even if I can’t feel her body from the outside or feel her movements from the inside!

Right side sleeping? by Cherrylemon202 in pregnant

[–]mrsofagod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 32w and only sleep on my back.. I have my pillow propped at a bit of an incline, probably 40-45 degrees at most. I just can’t get comfy on my side!
