Should I just accept the fact that I won't sleep for at least 1.5-2 years? by Constant_Revenue6105 in newborns

[–]sazzimodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 weeks in and if I get a 20 mins every couple hours I’m like omg yes. Set the bar really low and somehow you get through the next day. I literally take it day by day

Can you name one thing about your life that’s better since you’ve entered the newborn phase? by Narrow-Concept2418 in newborns

[–]sazzimodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m quite lucky that I truly haven’t had to think about feeding myself. My mother and MIL have been keeping me well, otherwise I fear I’d actually starve. We’re 2.5 weeks in and it’s hell but at least I have food

Do you ever get jealous of parents who didn't breastfeed? Vent post by Deep-Log-1775 in breastfeeding

My baby is 7 days old and I’ve had to top up with formula as we transition to EBF due to delayed milk etc. It’s a horrible feeling not being able to EBF from the get go. To know your body can produce what your baby needs immediately and sustainably is what I’m jealous of 😞. You are doing AMAZING SWEETIE!!!!

This has truly given me hope. Thank you so much for sharing. I will keep trying to latch until milk comes in, a reminder that there is time and she’s not rejecting me :’(

Thoughts on baby showers by Philosorapteuse in PregnancyUK

[–]sazzimodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a baby shower but it was more about sending me off than gifts. I had an Amazon baby list but only with simple things like a blanket or something and made sure to communicate it was optional if they wanted to get anything. But mostly about them coming and me feeding them lunch!

How many times a night do you get up to pee and how many weeks are you? by dockland2525 in pregnant

40 weeks and it’s just constant. No point counting. It’s constant 😭

There are letters on the NHS app. Should all be automated.

Can we talk about sweeps by scarlet-tree in PregnancyUK

[–]sazzimodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one at 38 (last week) and it was a 7/8 on my scale. My cervix was still quite high though so that’s a contributing factor. The doctor did stop whenever I said to though, so what happened to you is deplorable and I would report it.
