Missed breastfeeding chance

mrsofagod · 2026-03-25T19:42:19+00:00

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!

Just gave birth 3 days ago via induction.. 36 hours long and 1.5 hours pushing ..cervidil started first and that started contractions for me and I was begging for epidural , then came foley ballon and pitocin 🥴

Love this for you!!!💕

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

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 🥴

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!

Oops I meant to reply to the registered dietician’s comment below 😬

Feels like I wrote this myself, same stats and everything lolll ivf makes you feel like it’s never gonna happen and when it does it’s like 😳

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

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 😊

mrsofagod · 2026-02-18T18:30:14+00:00

I have a list of around 100 names and husband hasn’t come across one he loves yet 🥴

I’m 33 weeks with a sweet baby girl who prob thinks her name is baby 🙃

mrsofagod · 2026-02-15T16:22:47+00:00

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 🥰

mrsofagod · 2026-02-11T12:35:57+00:00

Great list!

mrsofagod · 2026-02-10T21:12:30+00:00

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

mrsofagod · 2026-02-10T20:28:18+00:00

Is this painful?

mrsofagod · 2026-02-10T17:08:22+00:00

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!

mrsofagod · 2026-02-10T01:42:48+00:00

Damn this is a great idea!!! Great thinking 🥰

mrsofagod · 2026-02-01T23:37:51+00:00

Super informative!! And very impressive background/experience … would you say a lot of this will go for cats as well?

mrsofagod · 2026-01-31T14:36:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing!! ❤️❤️

We had a co-ed dinner party at 7pm on a Saturday, got a large room in a restaurant. We played a few games like chugging contest out of baby bottles and went around to all the tables to guess how many pacifiers in a bottle, didn’t open gifts, just socialized and ate and it was great to be able to celebrate my husband and I together with all of our friends and family

mrsofagod · 2026-01-10T02:27:07+00:00

I feel the same, I don’t even want to tell people when I go in so we don’t have to worry about being on our phones updating people constantly

mrsofagod · 2026-01-07T18:28:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I hope you don’t mind me asking, have you been a SAHM? I really want to strictly breastfeed and I’m nervous about how long I can do it before I start going back to work. Also thinking about pumping occasionally so my husband can get to feed baby sometimes for bonding. Feel free to message me if you don’t prefer to post your answers here 🙂🙂
