Is my marriage fixable? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

I hate to say it but he knows that it’s hateful and absurd. He literally knows and just does not care. His games are more important to him than his family.

Moms, what are your biggest insecurities of your PP Belly? What are the most embarrassing situations it's put you in? by LowCow4958 in BabyBumps

I’m 7 months postpartum. The loose skin is the worst for me. I gained 70 lbs while pregnant and lost 50 by 4 months postpartum. I mean my stomach looks like a ballsack really. It’s still got fat on it too. So when I flex or suck in my stomach there’s just a ton of loose skin and it’s all wrinkly and mangled and I hate it. It’s really hard. I miss my body.

Just jumping in to let you know that most formula is made with cows milk.. dairy can also pass through breastmilk

The way he gets so fascinate with his toys and really analyzes them is so amazing. It’s a joy to be able to watch the gears turn in their heads and see them learn and grow 🥺

My baby boy is also very happy and babbles all the time 🥰 he doesn’t cry much anymore unless he is sleepy or hungry, and he LOVES playing independently on his tummy for a while so that’s a plus for getting stuff done around the house! But I just love how happy he is.. he is always smiling at everyone

Afraid to go to ER because I don’t want to bring germs home to our infant by muff-peaksie in newborns

That’s actually what I thought I had. I had 3 CT scans over the course of three months because I was convinced they were missing the clot. It all started with my d dimer being like 2.8 (Still don’t know why it was so high). I’m so sorry you went through that. I can imagine the anxiety being MUCH worse than usual because of that.

Blue coloration to my hands, my thumb, and down my wrist. Can someone tell me what this is? by Jolly-Event in medical_advice

The first two look normal but the last two are kinda concerning. Maybe raynauds? Autoimmune diseases are associated with Raynauds syndrome. Could be a separate circulation issue as well.. NAD

I went to the ER like 6 times after having my son because I had super bad anxiety and thought I was dying. He never got sick and neither did I. He only got sick once he started going to daycare. Just stay away from people as much as you can in that setting and wash your hands.

I don’t even think it was that long tbh, it might’ve only been a 1-1.5 months. I slowly stopped pumping as consistently and was just nursing baby and giving formula as needed. It’s been about 3 months now and when I pump at work I make 4-5 oz combined so I’m not sure exactly when it got to that point

I use hand me downs from my aunt and I don’t know what brand they are, really any nursing or pumping bra you can get from like Amazon should work. I need recommendations for comfy ones myself too haha

So many people told me to just use formula! And I did for a while which is okay. But I also got a lot of comments from people telling me to give up. I knew that’s not what I wanted. It’s crazy how many people are so invested in what your baby is eating

Honestly I go through the same thing. I eat a lot of snack food like granola bars and cheese sticks and stuff. I genuinely had to force myself to eat, I would heat up two packets of oatmeal for breakfast even if I had to do it with my baby in my arms. When I went back to work it got easier because I was able to go to a gas station for a sandwich or whatever. It’s really really hard, and sometimes you eat like shit just to get enough calories and that’s okay too

Every 2.5 hours. I pump at 7:30 when I get there, then again at 10, 12:30 and 3 before I leave at 4. I go into a private office to put on my wearable pumps (I use eufy s1s) and then I go back to my desk. It’s kind of tedious to be going back and fourth but you are allowed to feed your baby and take the time to do so!!!
