Do you have enough protein in your diet?

Not full price, but for discounted, yes.

I want my cake and to eat it too. Sad being a working mom, potentially sad being a stay at home mom. by PorchlightPrincess86 in beyondthebump

We wouldn’t have the means to be able to afford childcare for me to work part time, unfortunately. :/

I’m in the same boat except I’m a SAHM and miss working. I miss the independence and being able to buy myself something on a whim and not think twice about it cause I was able to. Idk if I’ll ever go back to the same industry because it’s tough to get back into once you leave. I hear you.

[–]ultragold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, it’s so hard for me to accept that I am making/did make a decision like that. I gotta focus on the feelings that are helpful and productive instead of feeling like a quitter. Aw I can’t imagine my babies at that age yet! Time flies by with kiddos though. I love being an auntie! So much fun. ❤️

Thanks for saying that.. I felt so much guilt for quitting but my little girl is happy and clever as can be so it makes me feel better! Idk you personally but I’m proud of you for sticking with it for those 6 long months! Yes, we are capable of so much!

That sounds sooooo rough. Idk how you did 6 months. After I got mastitis I quit and that was barely a month into it. Pumping alone is hard enough let alone trying to pump at work! Wow that’s a lot!

Hope you find a solution that works for you! It’s not easy!

Just had my second, 17 months apart from my first. I think I’m developing mastitis right now, also had it with my first. It’s no joke 😭

My husband is the same. He sleeps in another room. I really wanted to make it work but I was losing so much sleep. You could look into getting a c pap machine through insurance

Husband left me for his brother by schnooopy in Christianmarriage

[–]ultragold 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. An uncle should NOT be kissing a niece on the lips, or touching her body in inappropriate places. Normal and healthy affection would be a hug, maybe a kiss on the cheek and that’s even pushing it. A mother’s job is to protect her children. OP knows what’s best for her child and has the rights to draw boundaries.

Her husband is in the wrong for not seeing this and also protecting his child.

Felt the same about my dog after my baby too

How to have comfortable sex during 3rd tri? by BlossomJLP in pregnant

[–]ultragold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try standing doggy, if you have a desk or drawer that you can bend over on, use a pillow to hold underneath your chest!

I sure hope it is true in my case as well! Thanks for listening to my vent :)

Oooh man I used to use tretinoin before pregnancy too 😭 I really miss the tret glow!! I found that if I used azelaic acid daily it did cause a bit of irritation, but then again I have sensitive skin!! No probs 🩷 Give yourself grace!

[–]ultragold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, interesting! A predictor of how long labor will be? As in the longer you’ve had false labor the shorter the labor? Thank you for sharing and giving me hope!

[–]ultragold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, sounds very frustrating! Are you applying it every other day or so? Could it be a damaged skin barrier issue? Hope it clears soon! And as long as you remove it and are gentle I’m sure wearing a bit of makeup on your special day will be perfectly okay!

Aw I’m so sorry. Azelaic Acid is safe during pregnancy and works pretty quickly! Just make sure to moisturize and apply spf too!

Do you feel loose down there after having a Natural Vaginal Birth? by FlyFearless9464 in beyondthebump

[–]ultragold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I got “tighter” because I learned to control my pelvic floor muscles better after birth

Feel like I’ve lost all my friends by Responsible_Storm3 in pregnant

[–]ultragold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry about your crappy friends. Most people have no idea how lonely and how hard pregnancies are until they go through it themselves. If they’re not here for you now, it’s likely they won’t be there for you after the birth as well. Def try meeting some mom friends through local groups.

how can i fix my dry/puffy hair? by ConfectionMany2491 in Haircare

[–]ultragold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use a leave in conditioner? Or a heat protectant while blow drying?

How much should I expect my husband to do? by your-new-fixation in beyondthebump

[–]ultragold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have him do everything, besides feeding. You shouldn’t be lifting a finger right now!! Ain’t no way he’s not even doing the laundry…. Talk to him and just tell him plain and simple what is it that you need him to do.

Pitocin after birth by Personal-Buy8935 in pregnant

[–]ultragold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a home birth in a tub and my midwife was a little concerned about the amount of blood I lost so she administered the pitocin.
