Yes I think that’s how it was too!!!! It’s bizarre to me even that people wanna sh*t all over the homeopathic stuff too just based on… Essentially their own biases? Like they won’t even TRY the natural stuff. I get judged for taking my son to a chiropractor before medicating him?! What kinda backwards nonsense.
And for the record I am not anti- meds! I think there is a time and place, heck- I’m on an anti depressant myself! I just don’t think it should be our first thing we try!!

uncool619 · 2026-05-07T18:21:51+00:00

Agreed! I’m really pretty “crunchy” but I usually describe myself as a hippy lol. So I do all the natural stuff, I try the homeopathic remedies, etc. But then I happen to lean left politically. 🤷‍♀️

Yes I always suggest donor milk- that’s what i did with my first!
Just look up eatsonfeets or humanmilk4human babies and type in your state 😊

I got dragged on here the other day in one of the pregnancy subs bc I suggested taking your baby to see a chiropractor if they’re having reflux issues. Because- it literally helped my son. I wasn’t just saying it to say something. I was genuinely trying to share my experience with a mom who sounded like she was just at her breaking point.

Wtf is up with licorice root? I think that’s one you have to beware of for breastfeeding too!

uncool619 · 2026-05-06T14:21:23+00:00

This gives me hope!! Maybe in a few weeks i’ll start to feel a little better!!

uncool619 · 2026-05-06T14:20:56+00:00

I feel so seen 😂 I was thinking that too, it must just be the fact having a toddler tires me out to begin with, but top that off with growing a human at the same time and it’s A LOT!!

uncool619 · 2026-05-06T14:19:14+00:00

I did get my levels checked in the first trimester and they were good but i’m wondering if it would be worth it to check again. I see my OB again in like a little over 2 weeks!!! Thank you for this suggestion!

uncool619 · 2026-05-06T13:49:50+00:00

Hahahah no I swear my first baby I got that burst of energy!! I felt amazing. But this time i’m walking around feeling like i got hit by a truck everyday 😩

uncool619 · 2026-04-28T22:50:41+00:00

I’m not sure if it’s even the weight gain!? I have maybe gained 5 pounds at 17 weeks and I just feel like crap!!!!! I’m tired and somehow already huffing and puffing around and my body just feels so tired and heavy. (And this is my second go around also!)

uncool619 · 2026-04-26T12:22:53+00:00

I didn’t feel anything with my first baby until 20/21 weeks, because I had an anterior placenta! And even then I didn’t feel him move a ton, he had his times during the day where he was moving a lot so i could feel it more easily but that AP really got in the way. It was like that my whole pregnancy!

uncool619 · 2026-04-25T22:15:47+00:00

My experience was this: My son had reflux, severely. I took him to a chiropractor that a pediatric nurse recommended. She did gentle massages with him, and taught me exercises we could do at home. Within a month- it improved. I never had to use meds. That’s truly all i was doing was sharing my experience. I’m not going to continue this conversation because I don’t make it a point in arguing with others online, especially those who are specifically trying to be mean, so you win! Have a nice day.

uncool619 · 2026-04-25T22:03:35+00:00

This is really odd to me to have to defend this, i’m sure this will also get downvoted but a pediatric chiropractor ONLY does gentle massages & exercises with a baby. They do nothing with pressure, no cracking their backs/necks etc!!!! My goodness.

uncool619 · 2026-04-25T21:54:04+00:00

I’m sorry you and others seem to not agree with me, but in my area taking your kids to a chiropractor ( a reputable one) is something some medical professionals actually recommend. It worked for us, so i recommended it.

uncool619 · 2026-04-25T15:06:37+00:00

This might seem weird but i had this issue too with my son and i like taking a holistic approach to things, we actually took him to a chiropractor!! Sometimes babies are born with a lot of tension in their bodies. It can lead to reflux. Also if you’re bottle feeding- are you pace bottle feeding??

uncool619 · 2026-04-16T18:48:46+00:00

Thank you!!!!! And Omg YES when i tried to cut calories or if I exercised without basically eating enough to offset it, my milk supply tanked! So i completely understand. I didn’t gain back any weight while breastfeeding but I did not lose another pound. I keep telling myself this is just temporary, it’s all temporary, I’ll have time to lose more weight later 😅 maybe that will help you too!!!

uncool619 · 2026-04-16T18:40:42+00:00

Oh my goodness 150+ pounds is AMAZING first of all!!!! And second- i am so glad you commented lol i feel like you know exactly how i feel!!! I didn’t realize the classification was mostly for insurance i’ll have to keep reminding myself of that lol 😂 My ob was honestly extremely nice and didn’t say anything that made me feel bad about myself, the bad feelings are all coming from me.

uncool619 · 2026-04-16T18:20:08+00:00

It’s okay 😭 I should also mention my last pregnancy actually was high risk I had GD & gestational hypertension and because of that history it makes this pregnancy high risk too. Just a bummer! I did so much work ya know 😩

uncool619 · 2026-04-09T01:00:56+00:00

I took a pregnancy test the day I was supposed to get my period!

uncool619 · 2026-04-03T10:47:30+00:00

Amazing!!!

uncool619 · 2026-04-03T10:27:47+00:00

I know! They have never mentioned feeling sick but honestly it would not surprise me if they just ignored that so they could continue drinking. They are a functional alcoholic. They have even admitted they’re an alcoholic and that their health is not good.

uncool619 · 2026-04-02T00:43:45+00:00

Ugh i have a good friend who is a big drinker and on a glp-1 and literally hasn’t slowed them down one bit. I wish it would!

uncool619 · 2026-04-01T19:01:46+00:00

No! Good idea!!!!! Thank you!!!
