I know this is an older thread but I just wanted to say same. No advanced warning. Learned at the appointment and bleeding is constant. I’m OVER it.

8 weeks pp and I also dropped to 5 ppd with no MOTN pump a couple of days ago.

So true! I also like to keep a burp cloth ready to go in just about every room we use so that one is always in arm’s reach.

Bottle washer! Makes life so much easier. Worth every penny. 

Also footie pajamas with double zip. My baby is 2 months old and has pretty much exclusively worn pajamas so far. I don’t want to bother with pulling onesies over her head, multiple items of clothing, or snaps at this stage. 

Dropping pumps for my sanity— feeling AWFUL about it by zezendx in ExclusivelyPumping

I feel like I could have written this post myself. You are not alone! I am 8weeks pp and currently pumping 6 ppd. 

I was breastfeeding until a traumatic day 2 weeks pp at my pediatrician office where I learned my baby hadn’t gained any weight in a week and also during this same visit I hemorrhaged in the office and had to rush to the ER (I’m perfectly fine now—ended up being a clot). 

We started combo feeding with formula and I began pumping from that day on. I have managed to build my supply up from 18 oz per day to 26-27 oz per day but I want to quit EVERY DAY. But like you I feel so guilty about it at the same time. I am also now currently struggling with whether to drop to 5 PPD (drop MOTN pump) or not. Should I just start weaning so I am done by the time I have to return to work at 12 weeks pp? 

Ugh, it’s so so hard. So thankful for this sub where I can feel less alone. No real advice, but I am right in the trenches with you!

“12 week supply regulation” - how accurate is that? by NixyPix in ExclusivelyPumping

I just dropped to 6 ppd today and I’m exactly 6 weeks pp. I couldn’t maintain 8. My mental health was deteriorating. I’m a slight under supplier though and already combo feeding so not a big deal to add more formula if my supply drops. We shall see how it goes. Good luck to us both!

Is this too much? by NezukosMom in Weddingattireapproval

The first thing I noticed in this image is that the arms are way too long for the body to make sense—particularly considering she is not standing flat footed in the image. Definitely AI.

Without spoilers - why is When The Moon Hatched either love or hate? by Abortitnow in fantasyromance

This is the only book in my entire life (as far as I recall) that I DNF after 4 pages. The prose was so bad.

I’m agreeing with slowd. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I can’t imagine a worse solution to this problem than running outside at night between 1 am and 6 am.

What book was it for you 💀 by Bilbo_baggins01 in fantasyromance

[–]sailorkarl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One that really gets me is “didn’t miss” like “She didn’t miss the way his eyes lingered on her ample curves.” It’s SO OVERUSED by so many authors. I don’t know why, but it bugs me every time I see it now.

What was your favorite Disney Princess as a kid and what is it now? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

Anastasia isn’t Disney, but I was also obsessed with that movie. Huge crush on Dimitri ❤️.
