@marysmith89 Right now baby is waking up 4 times a night. I am with you - I don’t know that I can do this “not sleeping” thing again. It’s awful.

@katrina2017 Girl, yes. I bought a fancier breast pump than insurance gave me. I bought nipple shields, ate lactation cookies, spent hours watching YouTube videos of women giving breastfeeding advice. Cried every night. Formula wasn’t what I envisioned for us, but for his sake I regret I...

@mark_v Omg, yes. Thank you for sharing. Every time I left the house with him, I’d get so many comments on how small he was. When you’re already carrying so much guilt as the person who carried them (misplaced guilt - we can’t control pre-e) it makes it so much worse. I dreaded leaving my house...

@liilas As an aside, why is this allowed to be discussed? Reproduction is not small-talk. For all anyone knows, people don’t have children or more children because of a medical condition or they’ve had losses. I find it incredibly weird to tell people so nonchalantly to add a human being to...
