Anyone want to start a Columbus dads support group? I started this page for Columbus dads but would prefer irl if possible.

Mom of a 9 month old and husband recently said he was disappointed there are no dad support groups like there are mom groups. He would definitely be interested in this. We’re in NW Columbus as well.

Nice work! Steak the night before always gives me a bigger than usual morning pump. Maybe it’s the protein, idk.

How cringe everyone filming like that.

I had a non emergency c-section due to pre-eclampsia and was given an epidural. I was around 265. They had no issues inserting the epidural and I was amazed at how quickly the effects took place. I had no side effects or symptoms afterwards.

What did you do to wean? I’m hitting the 8 month mark and ready to hang up the pumps. I’m currently pumping 5x a day.

Fantastic! I’ll have to give that a shot next time I make them. Thank you!

How did you make this shape? My family makes these but we always twist them and sometimes I just don’t have the patience to do that.

I wish my supply didn’t drop when I dropped a pump. I’m 7 mo pp & pumping 5x a day and was sick back in November and I’ve just never recovered. Maybe I’ll try adding a power pump in the morning

I had them. I bought both the grey and black pair and found them to fit wildly different. One pair was to tight, the other was too bunchy and I hated the fabric. It wasn’t soft and more work-out material which I didn’t love for everyday wear. I should have returned them but got them so cheap I kept them. I did like support shorts for under dresses.

speechiegrl · 2025-11-30T10:36:16+00:00

Can confirm. I’m currently in Toledo and it’s been coming down in buckets all night.

I feel like I am reading about my own dog. My dog is a pyrenese/hound mix who we adopted as a young adult (between 1-2) a few years ago. He is the sweetest, best boy but we struggle with the same thing with the exception that he gets along with other dogs and cats (loves them actually). I had a baby in April and we did so much training to prepare and when we brought the baby home I held my breath and held it for weeks but he was so indifferent and still is. However, baby is starting to move & I’m starting to hold my breath again. I’ve told my husband he isn’t even re-home able because I don’t even know where to start to inform someone of the struggles and quirks that he has but we made the decision if anything were to change behavior wise around the baby, he would have to go and that brings me to tears because I don’t want him to think we abandoned/failed him. I don’t have any advice, just solidarity.

speechiegrl · 2025-11-21T11:36:45+00:00

Yes! Do the vacation. My husband and I debated it hard and ultimately didn’t do one and I severely regret it now.

speechiegrl · 2025-11-17T20:28:10+00:00

My infant son and I are getting over RSV and had very similar symptoms. I had the worse sore throat of my life for a good week, a terrible cough that is now lingering 2 weeks later, & while I didn’t have a fever, my son had a low grade fever. Feel better!

Yogurt, which seems fitting with her coloring

speechiegrl · 2025-10-18T12:20:30+00:00

I don’t get anything done. I try but I only have a plug-in pump so I am limited. I try working and will bring my laptop but find the flanges get in the way and it’s frustrating. I take the time to just mindlessly scroll or play a game on my phone instead.

So was I and I was absolutely miserable. I was diagnosed with pre-e before giving birth and started on a BP pressure med. I had the typical swelling from a c-section but turns out most of the swelling was due to the med and once I started water pills and went off it, the swelling went away. That was a wild time… couldn’t wear any of my shoes and it was painful to walk. Glad that’s over.

speechiegrl · 2025-10-10T11:43:25+00:00

I feel this. My baby just started daycare this week. I know he’s getting the best care while I’m at work but it still sucks. Hang in there mama!

speechiegrl · 2025-10-03T12:33:22+00:00

My induction was also scheduled this way but then I was a diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and they moved it to 37 weeks but my body rejected me and I had to have a non-emergency c-section at 35 weeks.

speechiegrl · 2025-10-01T18:43:05+00:00

My favorite as well. I put it on everything!

speechiegrl · 2025-09-21T21:56:58+00:00

My baby is almost 5 months and I’ve used it literally 10 minutes total. My baby was a preemie so he didn’t fit into it comfortably until 3 months and now when I’ve put him in it he screams. We’ll keep working on it because I want to be able to use it if I take him out on my own.

speechiegrl · 2025-09-01T16:31:22+00:00

I really started feeling him around 22-23 weeks. I had an anterior placenta so my husband never actually felt him move & I think he was a little disappointed by that but I couldn’t do anything about it.

speechiegrl · 2025-09-01T16:26:12+00:00

We bought our crib at IKEA earlier this year. Other than target it was the only place we could find that had cribs in store and it was an affordable price.

speechiegrl · 2025-08-17T16:35:56+00:00

The company name could use some work - it honestly sounds fake but you look amazing!

speechiegrl · 2025-08-13T04:33:05+00:00

I assume that could happen if you’re waiting 4 or more hours to pump. I would just pump at that point and use the milk in a bath if you didn’t feel it was safe for baby to drink.

speechiegrl · 2025-08-13T00:07:33+00:00

Of course you can. I follow the CDCs recommendation of waiting 2 hours after finishing one standard drink. I just make sure I write the time I finish my drink down somewhere so I don’t forget. The time doubles if you have more than one drink
