@celoxisppm I thought initially this was going to be a story about how you successfully lost all that weight after the baby by doing CICO again. Thank you for saying what you said! I'm figuring out now that genetics and my body type are something that would be too hard for me to fight against...

@kurari C. Respectfully decline. A lot can happen in that last month. I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension and induced three days later due to pre-eclampsia worries at 36w. Your friend wouldn’t want to be five hours away if that happened. They would want to be at home (perhaps last...

@homohabilis117 That’s a good gut check for me. Thank you!

@hluben This is comforting to know! But also I am sending you hugs. My baby has been hella teething for like four months now and she has three coming in at the moment. I was wondering if teething is playing a role too.

@chicago51 That’s interesting. Do you think she’s just happier with solids at this point? Teething? What’s your hypothesis?

@cassmith Wow! Okay that gives me hope. We went from five feeds a day to three very quickly and she’s refusing her last bottle usually because she’s full from dinner. Kid loves to eat. Thank you for sharing that!

@cindlee Okay this is great. I’m actually in Canada, too. :) I didn’t know about the formula after solids thing! I think my brain is stuck in 6 month mode when we first started solids (I was super stressed about it and seem emotionally stuck there haha). Thank you for this!

My daughter is a week shy of 11m and has been 99% percentile for weight for about 2 months now (25lbs). She’s what I’d consider a great eater and loves solids. Three meals a day with crackers and pouches to keep her happy inbetween. My concern is that she’s cut down drastically on her formula...

@leonardod You get the housing struggle then! I’m envious of people who can access actual detached houses with yards and multiple bedrooms. I know there are trade offs (we live next to an ocean and it almost never snows) but having kids made me consider moving to the prairies. :) The illness...

@younglite No.

@leonardod Absolutely. I always envisioned two kids but most likely, we’ll be one and done. Like you, my partners work is very demanding and he’s often not home until after baby bedtime. I’m on a long mat leave, but I’ll be going back in five months and I think having two working parents will be...

@alaric De-pregnatising your mind is such a real thing. I didn’t get relief from the intense hormones until I was probably closer to 12m pp and that was with weaning from pumping at 3m. Never managed to breastfeed. I’ve hear that with nursing it can extend some of the really intense feelings a...

@hirow Oh wow this is so interesting! Very similar experience. My daughter is 18m and she is SPIRITED lol. I wanted a second so badly from age 6m-16m and more recently it’s been a hard maybe. This got a lot harder. It’s good to hear that for some parents they just needed a larger age gap. I’d...

@dageo Thank you!! And yes, marvel movies can pack an emotional punch! I think I cried watching a very well choreographed fight scene - nothing sad even happened. That’s why I knew something was up! 🤣

@alwayscurious Oh my goodness, you’ve been through the ringer. I haven’t experienced anything like this, but sending hugs and support and calm. You are such a great mom - you did exactly what you needed to do for your son, and didn’t hesitate to get him the urgent help he needed. Hang in there...

@dageo Oh yeah. About two days before my period was due I started to have light cramping and some very mild spotting. Super light. I remember telling my partner (who I was actively trying with that month) “okay, there’s my period. I guess it didn’t work this time around”. Then my period never...

@varzr Omg this feels spot on for how unfair pregnancy symptoms can be! My weird one was a major gum infection from a trapped food particle. I had to get part of my gum lasered off! My dentist explained that in pregnancy any minor issue can go full bonkers because our immune systems are so off.
