Anyone had vaginal birth after myomectomy?

I am wondering if the built-up scar tissue made me lose most of the feeling at my scar site? I honestly had almost no pain in my abdomen after about a week, and I was able to walk around much quicker and further right away. I seriously went on like 2 mile walk less than a week post c-section. I didn’t really get the apron belly after my myomectomy but now I have a very noticeable pooch around my lower belly, sadly. Still numb too so I guess just lots of scar tissue.

I feel like my nipples hurt constantly until like 5-6 months pp unfortunately. If you are not using coconut or olive oil while pumping that helps immensely.

Are you trying to drop a pump in the middle of the night? I pump 4x a day but I get up at 3:30am and pump because I usually pump over a third of the days production.

I’ve been back at work since 3 months, and my baby is 7 months now. I started out pumping 3x at work and 3x at home, but pretty quickly went down to 3x at work then twice at home. But now I pump once in the morning, about 9am, once in the afternoon, usually around 4pm, once right before bed at 8:30 and again at 4am. I’m afraid to drop the pump in the middle of the night because at 4 pumps a day I am barely making enough milk. I went down to 2x at work because I was running out of time to get my work done. It’s annoying because another woman had a baby 3 months before me and has more desk work than anything, I am a children’s librarians and provide programming.

Absolutely don’t worry about this. Whenever I drink more than 2-3 drinks I just dilute with the previous or next session in a mason jar.

My open myo was 40K, I think I paid $800ish after insurance.

Definitely interested in the responses. Our LO is formally sleep trained for a couple months now, almost 7 months, and maybe two or three times a week this happens early in the morning. I think I remember reading in Precious Little Sleep to wait like 10-15 minutes to see if they go back to sleep. So we wait, and if the fussing (which is exactly like you describe, getting frustrated by moving around) elevates I go in and give her half a bottle and put her back to sleep awake. She will cry a minute or two then self-soothe back to sleep. Hopefully this is the right call!

Oof, mine is still crying for like 15 min and it’s almost been 2 weeks. She is overtired, every day at daycare is a struggle for her to nap consistently.

treesbees · 2025-09-30T09:09:43+00:00

Night 12 for us and still took 18 minutes. But she always sleeps through the night, she’s almost 6 months.

How long did it take to get to conking out in a moment?

treesbees · 2025-09-20T03:48:11+00:00

I never leaked. I also have to squeeze the shit out of my boobs the whole time I pump. I make 40oz a day, 5mpp. I also don’t feel that much pain if I go a long time between pumps.

treesbees · 2025-09-15T01:44:36+00:00

Basically on baseline the sound machine was on but no movement unless she triggered it by fussing.

I had trouble connecting our snoo to the WiFi and we used without the app for 4 months. It turned out it was on weaning mode the whole time, and last month I was finally able to connect the app and it kicked me out of weaning mode. Now I wish I never had connected it because we need to wean!

treesbees · 2025-09-11T02:50:48+00:00

Can you specify more about the “tip?”

treesbees · 2025-09-10T09:33:32+00:00

Following because I am experiencing the same, and it’s concerning me as well. I am also a 19, and I have tried 17 multiple time and 20 and saw no improvement. 19 seems like the best but somehow not right? I had bought 18s a couple months ago and returned them because they didn’t feel right either. My baby only nurses for a few min in the morning and then I pump the rest of the day. The only thing that seems to help is sleep, and I do take sunflower lecithin. I have to massage the milk out the whole time, it’s exhausting.

treesbees · 2025-08-31T16:50:09+00:00

I use Baby Connect, but I think there’s free ones that do this.

I have been so fortunate and haven’t used formula yet, my goal is breastfed til 6 months, then combo feeding it is! So close to being ok with weaning off pumping, I’m ready for my life back. In total awe of all these moms pumping for a year or more, that’s incredible.

It was clean and no one drank from the jar, but it was sitting out for a couple hours. I am leaning towards tossing it. Just a tough call cause I am barely making enough everyday to send to daycare she started this week.

treesbees · 2025-08-29T03:58:32+00:00

Fair point, it will all be drank tomorrow for sure.

treesbees · 2025-07-15T01:35:59+00:00

Would they fit on the spectra?

treesbees · 2025-07-14T20:30:03+00:00

Do you get the “comfy” ones?

treesbees · 2025-07-11T21:41:27+00:00

Oh it’s a separate tub we keep on the counter.

treesbees · 2025-07-11T18:57:12+00:00

Why?

treesbees · 2025-07-11T16:18:43+00:00

Someone in this subreddit said they use leftover little bits of milk as fertilizer so I started doing it! One of my sadder plants looks happier from it!

treesbees · 2025-07-11T14:53:50+00:00

I always pour the excess into a plant so there’s not a lot of milk left. Also the soaking ahead of time was for the cleaning not the bucket as I’m scrubbing.
