@bobezeh Honestly I wish we had done CIO earlier. I think I felt like it meant I was failing as a parent somehow to resort to that. But in the end I think it was actually less stressful for our baby bc it was like one really hard night vs slower methods that drag things out. Also, if you want...

@bobezeh Parent of a baby who slept in 45-90 minutes at a time until 8.5 months checking in! 🙋‍♀️ I could have written this. I would get sooo annoyed (and still do) at parent complaining about baby sleeping 4 hour stretches. Or people who were like oh, I just did this one thing and then my baby...

@misha100 A C-section is a major surgery with a longer recovery time and higher risk of complications for both you and your baby. When I was younger I used to always say I would “just schedule my baby’s delivery with a c-section,” because I was scared of giving birth. I think I got that...

@chrysanthemum43 I would just ask her if she takes any medication or eats common allergens (that you don’t eat) like dairy that could possibly affect the milk.

@katie1010 I had my baby at 35, bmi 50, with existing high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes. I ended up being induced at 37 weeks because he was measuring small on one measure. Had a totally normal induction and vaginal birth. He’s now a perfectly healthy and thriving 9 month old. I did...

@marko959 Nope. Not true. I got pregnant after 3mos of trying and was much heavier than that. I don’t see anyone has answered things to help, so I’ll speak to that. The best thing you can do is track ovulation. Get a bulk pack of ovulation strips from amazon and start tracking your cycles more...

@kimotaku My OB said if high blood pressure is diagnosed in the first trimester, it’s usually considered pre-existing (which is when I was diagnosed) and if it starts in second or third trimester it’s taken a bit more seriously as a pre-eclampsia risk bc it’s a new symptom. But you have to have...

@baagz It’s silly but one thing that helped me a lot with perspective was my friend with 2 kids saying, “whether they had formula or breast milk, by the time they’re two they’ll all eat week old fries off the floor of the car.” It just reminded me that while breastfeeding is important, it’s...

@baagz First, congratulations on making it as far as you did! You’ve had a harder road than most and getting breast milk for the first 12 weeks has already given your baby a lot of benefit. Second, your baby will still get a lot of benefit even with combo feeding. I wasn’t able to get baby to...

@magicalmoons Keep in mind there’s also an element of chance. The chance of getting pregnant even if you do everything right is still only around 30% if you have sex like two days before and day of ovulating. Usually if you’ve been trying a year and no luck they’ll do fertility checks for you...

@doks I had very few noticeable pregnancy symptoms during my pregnancy. I had a tiiiny bit of nausea but never came close to vomiting. I didn’t have any strong food aversions/cravings, aside from being a bit grossed out by chicken/eggs after eating half a serving (but I could always eat some)...
