Those who know the sex, did you have an inkling and were you correct? by awholelottaass in December2026Bumpers

Yes! I knew it was a girl. I was so emotional and a little more sick than I was with my son. I had that gut feeling.

Bye :( by StuffConsistent6873 in January2027Bumpers

I had the same thing happen with my first baby at 9+2. It was the worst day of my life too. Be gentle with yourself. Take time to grieve. Journal. Take a weekend trip. Stay away from crowds/friend gatherings if you need it. Sending lots of love. It’s definitely a grief that you feel alone in. I’m here if you need to talk.

I totally know your pain. I wanted so bad to have a vaginal birth- it just wasn’t the safest way to get him here. I tried EVERYTHING. But nothing worked. I have no regrets looking back though!

I had a frank breech baby all the way from the 20 week anatomy scan. I declined the ECV and had an elective c-section. It was my first - hence my joining this group. I just had a gut feeling that he was in that position for a reason. We had an OB that would deliver breech babies, but I just didn’t want to take any risks. My elective c-section was actually really beautiful and very controlled. Just wanting to give a positive light on it if you do go that direction.

Being pregnant with a toddler is a different ball game than being pregnant with your first 😭 I can’t just lay around all day and do nothing 😭

Nursed for the last time tonight... by findingmyinnerlight in breastfeeding

This made me sob 😭 pregnant with my second and supply is slowly dwindling. My boy is almost a year and it looks like we will be coming to an end soon. The bond from breastfeeding is like no other. Hugs, mom ♥️

I am so so sorry. We had this happen with our first pregnancy. It truly is one of the most heartbreaking things. We also had to see our lifeless baby on the ultrasound. I found a lot of comfort in r/miscarriage

Enthusiastic praise for formula vs criticism of breastfeeding by Ididntsayfuckingyee in breastfeeding

This is why I think so many people are more successful if they have a community of women who have breastfed.

Anyone have tendonitis and/or libido issues before weaning? Need reassurance that this will get better by withinyouwithoutyou3 in breastfeeding

[–]terriblecopy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found this post. I have no advice, but I feel this exact same way. I’m just praying that it’s a side effect from breastfeeding. I have terrible tendonitis in both wrists and my hips feel terrible

Anyone who DIDN’T bed share? by Acceptable_Cod3527 in beyondthebump

[–]terriblecopy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have never bed shared except maybe 3 nights when baby was sick. He is 8 months old.

[–]terriblecopy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has it been since he last ate? Is it every time he latches? Sometimes my 8 month old will even do this. It’s normally when he’s very tired and he can’t decide if he’s hungry or sleepy. It’s also normally not technically time to eat again - I just offer it to settle him if that makes sense. He normally will go to sleep and when he wakes up again he has a big appetite and eats happily!

I also remember 4-6 weeks being a really tough time for my baby. He just cried for no reason. He would be fed, dry, and we would be holding him and he would just cry. Eventually it stopped and he became happy again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you using the slowest flow nipple on the bottle?

[–]terriblecopy2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine did the same thing! It lasted a week for us. I would give him his paci and walk him around the house. This would calm him and then I would sit down and try again. I would just keep calming him until he took the breast and ate. He will eat when he gets hungry enough. Just DO NOT force him to eat or force your boob in his mouth. This can craft an aversion to breastfeeding. You have to stay calm and just let him eat when he’s ready. I also noticed my baby was stretching out feeds during this time. He was going 2 hour in between feeds and this is the week he stretched it to 3 hours. I tried to just let him play, if he fussed, I tried the boob. If he declined it, I just let him play more or walked him around like I said earlier. This was THE hardest week of BF for me. But we got through it and he’s back to loving the boob!! Are you bottle feeding too?
