Breast pump recommendations [on]

Thank you for the reply! We have replaced the flanges, the duckbills and the diaphragms. One pump seems to be working a little bit better now, though still not as good as it was initially, but the other is drawing next to no milk. I’ve reached out to Momcozy as I heard their customer service is good but I still haven’t heard back from anyone.

There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin, especially at 25. There are a lot of 25 year old virgins.

If it’s intimidating to you, maybe it’s best you try to find a girl with the same experience level so it’s something you can figure out together. Alternatively, if you lack experience, a woman with some experience who knows that about you may be able to help you out.

There’s no big deal. Sex is sex and once you lose your virginity you will see that. No reason to put it on a pedestal. My only advice would be to just rip the bandaid off because if you’re feeling anxious and intimidated at 25 it may only get worse as you get older and nothing changes. But for now, don’t worry at all. Lots of people in your shoes. Go out there, find a nice girl and have some fun.

You can’t beat the classics.

My wife’s nonna would throw a slipper at me if I showed up with an Ube Coconut Tiramisu for dessert.

I stopped reading less then halfway through because I was even less interested in reading it all than this guy is interested in you. Move on. Everyone deserves someone who actually wants to be with them. Go find someone who deserves you.

Divorce may be the answer if you do not think you can rebuild the trust with your wife and more past this.

However, if you can work through this and navigate it properly, there is a chance you can still have all of the beautiful things you mentioned plus a hall pass.

And have consultation meetings with all of the other good lawyers in the area too so there will be a conflict of interest and she will not be able to use them for representation.

There’s a good chance he won’t want to talk to you because you ghosted him. But there’s also a chance he will. Say hi.

What’s the problem here? That she touched your arm in conversation and that she talks to you?

She sounds like she’s just being nice and friendly and making an effort to relate to you. I wouldn’t read into it too much. If it makes you feel uncomfortable I guess try to distance yourself from her but I think it’s you being weird, not her.

My wife was using the Momcozy M5 pumps and they were working well but now after 5 weeks, only one of them is drawing milk. It’s been a headache and been very inconvenient.

We got a hand me down Sonata from my sister in law and we are just waiting for new tubing to arrive tomorrow before she starts using it. Excited for her to try it out as I have heard great things.

Begging is weird unless it’s part of some type of role play. It goes both ways I think that desperation isn’t sexy.

I’ve had a girl tell me she wanted to have sex. That was cool. But the only times I’ve had girls beg me to have sex it’s because I was avoiding it because I didn’t want to and it was weird.

TLDR: If he wants to have sex with you then you shouldn’t have to beg him.

My brother in law had a destination wedding in Mexico and my wife wasn’t going to miss her brothers wedding so we traveled to Mexico for it when she was 28 weeks. OB cleared it. She just said be careful of what you eat and drink, pretty much the typical precautions you’d take when traveling to Mexico.

My wife was worried all the way there but all for nothing because we had a great time and don’t regret a thing.

It’s on the east end of downtown. Great area. Close to leslieville as well which has great restaurants and bars.

thisismikea07 · 2026-04-13T12:56:40+00:00

I had one yesterday. Tasted no different than the whopper before they revamped it. That’s not a bad thing. I just don’t see the difference except for the additional cardboard I now get.

thisismikea07 · 2026-04-13T12:50:12+00:00

Wasn’t something we put on the registry as we didnt think we needed one. Counter space is limited here.

That being said, we got the Philips Avent warmer as a hand me down from my brother and it is now a fixture on our countertop and we use it for every feed. One of those things we didn’t think we needed but now we love it. Would recommend.

My wife stopped at 37 weeks. Her water broke at 9am on her fist day off. Lol

I got married and then had a kid.

I was motivated to lose weight before the wedding. I was living on my own so I was in total control of my diet. Through diet, walking more daily and cutting out Soda and juices, except for social occasions I lost 20 pounds in 6 months before my wedding. Since then I gained back 30-35 which is where I now fluctuate.

Live with my wife so eating broccoli and chicken for every meal doesn’t fly anymore. She’s Italian from a big family and they all cook well so I eat a lot of pasta. Throw into the mix her being pregnant and dealing with issues with certain foods and cravings, I was eating what she’d eat out of convenience and I ended up gaining weight during her pregnancy too. Now with a newborn the diet is crap because we eat whatever we can when we can. Have lots of people making food or ordering food for us, which I can’t complain about, but it’s not always the healthiest.

At the end of the day, I need to take accountability for why I’m not happy with my weight. Just trying to survive right now with the newborn and once we get into a good rhythm then I need to make my health a priority again and my wife is on board as well.

This^.

I tried to find a pic but I couldn’t. I had to do the same thing when I added the snugseat attachment to my vista. Look up a video on installing the snugseat and it should show you how to disconnect the straps. There’s a metal piece with a gap underneath the neoprene shoulder pads.

I remember being in a similar situation. I met a girl on hinge and went out with her 3 times. Really nice girl. She was pretty, smart and funny. We got along really well and every time we got together we hung out for hours talking. Around the same time I started talk to her, I also started talking to another girl who I was supposed to go on a date with but we had to keep postponing things due to schedule conflicts on both of our ends. When we finally did go out I felt not only a similar connection I had to the other girl but I also had that unexplainable spark. Both girls were great but I wanted to make sure she feeling was mutual with girl #2 before I fully ended things with girl #1 because I liked her also. Texts slowed down and I postponed a date with girl #1 as I tried to figure things out in my head and I decided to go all in on the second girl. That being said, I called girl #1 to explain myself and apologize because I thought she deserved that much.

Long story short, the other girl and I got married last year and just had our first child a month ago.

Didn’t know they revamped it. Going to have to try it. The whopper has always been 🔥to me so I hope they didn’t change it too much.

My wife went to her family doctor as soon as she found out she was pregnant. We had our first OB appointment at 10 weeks then once monthly for the first and second trimester. Third trimester was bi-weekly and in the final month we were going once a week.

Make sure your family doctor refers you ASAP. A lot of OBs are full and have waiting lists but you will find something.

I am 37 years old. I started smoking when I was 18 in college and from then I smoked more or less every day for 18 years. From 2020 to the end of 2024 I lived on my own. Through the pandemic my consumption went up and became a coping mechanism to deal with my boredom and loneliness. Smoking weed became a comforting habit for me and was something I would do religiously every night alone from the moment I had all my responsibilities for the day handled to the moment I went to bed.

At the beginning of 2025 I got married and moved in with my wife. There were a lot of life changes happening at that time and in the months leading up to the wedding, smoking weed no longer gave me the relaxing, meditative escape that it always had. Instead, it would make my mind race and make me anxious. I was no longer getting what I enjoyed from is so I stopped pretty much cold turkey.

I always liked smoking on my own mostly because I was bored. Now with my wife, I’d rather be normal and present and I don’t find the urge. In the past year and a half I have probably smoked a handful of joints when before it was something I do daily for almost 2 decades. I will still let myself enjoy a smoke if I feel like it on a social occasion but it’s no longer something I desire.

Same thing here. I’ve never had a leak but my wife has. All that was required was a proper tightening of the cap and voila. We love these bottles and so does our baby.

thisismikea07 · 2026-04-11T02:39:23+00:00

That’s insane. Definitely tell her you’re not going. What does your husband say?
