FFFC

I have never been so freaked out about a late period in my life. AF has been clockwork since Jane was born, but now I'm 9 days late and frequently nauseated. Pee test yesterday was negative, but I just can't stop freaking out about it. Ugh, I need some chocolate. 

Let's hear your confessions, ladies.

Not really a confession but kind of.... We were taking DS's 6 month pictures on our screened in porch (that has a concrete floor that we have a thin outdoor rug over) and he was sitting up and I was right there and DH was taking the pics and in the blink of an eye he fell backwards and I didn't catch him he started crying but only for a few minutes. But that's the first time he's gotten "hurt" and I feel AWFUL. this mom gig is tough. Holy. Guilt.

Giiirl my period was super late and I kept getting negative tests. Then I tested a few days later with a FRER and it was positive. I had been using the cheap-o blue dye tests before.

My FFFC is that if one more person tells me a baby will just fall asleep when they get tired I might literally just scream. Maybe some babies do, but mine doesn't. And it's like, EVERYONE I know won't stop saying it. That might be more of a vent than a confession

I had a Starbucks frappuccino for lunch.

I used the funeral of my husbands cousins father in law as an excuse to get out of the house and have other people hold my kid. I just needed 1 hour where I wasn't responsible for him.

I am overweight since the baby and I don't give a shiiiiiit about losing it. I eat cookies and do what I want. I try to pretend that I care and am trying to lose the weight, but I do not care about my body being small or fit again at ALL right now.

My uncle passed away, and my MIL came to our house to watch my daughters. We went out to breakfast beforehand and I spent like 2 hours getting ready. I felt so guilty making a "date" out of a funeral but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Well, it's faint, but it looks like I'm pregnant. Surprise! Wasn't planning that one at all.

Thanks for the offer. I might just need that! And thanks for the congrats. It's still sinking in, but DH and I are getting excited. :-)

This. Ugh. I need a job. 

Also so I don't care if my kid goes to daycare. All my mommy friends are like "omg daycare is horrible they will neglect your kid" k, well, if my kid is neglected, whatever. She will live. Plus it would be good for her to not be held and to see other babies and people!

 Am so with the both of you.  I love my kid but I need a life outside being mommy.  And my kid needs to interact with other kids and get used to other adults.  Our parents can't even hold her, she's so attached to only me.  If it wasn't so expensive I'd put her in daycare just for a few hours a week to help her get over her separation anxiety.

Eff LO's doctor and eff everyone telling us to do CIO to help LO sleep better.  Letting her cry.  Makes.  It.  Worse!  How many times do I need to repeat myself?!  Maybe it works for other kids, but it doesn't work for mine.  I tried it, she will cry herself hoarse before she cries herself to sleep.  She actually kept up crying in her sleep!  And now has more anxiety about even being in her crib.

Also, eff my mom.  Yes, I still BF.  At 6 months.  It's not unheard of or even abnormal!  I'm not spoiling her or making her weird for nursing my still-an-infant child.

Ugh. I have masitis. I feel like I was ran over by a truck and I have to take care of a three year old and 6 month old. 

I went to Doctor yesterday to get it checked out and she told me I got masitis bc my LO slept thru the night once. She then recommended I get up every three hours to pump. Umm no. I will not get up and pump in the middle of the night. That will just trick my body into thinking I need to produce more milk which is the opposite of what needs to happen.

This happened to me because I was advised to pump every 3 hrs plus the few feedings I was giving LO per day. She wasn't eating as much as I was pumping got over engorged and I couldn't pump enough to get it all out. When I got it my LC told me only pump enough to relieve myself but not to empty. It really helped regulate my supply. Ugh mastitis sucks so so bad!

I also have mastitis. My doctor told me not to nurse on that side, just to pump and dump that side. Is this due to the risk that Jordan could get thrush? It can't be due to the antibiotic since I can nurse out of the other side.

Interesting bc my doctor said to nurse on that said first each feeding then switch. She even talked about how it might be painful but to push through it.

When I had mastitis I was also instructed to feed on that side first. That's also what I read on kellymom. Would be curious to know why @JamieA322 doc advised against it. 

JamieA322

I asked the nurse on the phone, and she didn't know. So, I've been nursing on that side since everything I read says to do so. Ugh!

cdepperschmidt

@JamieA322 DONT PUMP AND DUMP!  That is inaccurate. It is 100% safe to nurse when you have mastitis. In fact, a baby with suck out reg clogs better than a pump. I definitely nursed when I had mastitis.

JamieA322

@Ceridwen77@cdepperschmidt Thanks for the support. I've been nursing from the side to start each feeding. I was not going to waste all that milk!

Glad you're doing that - it would be such a waste to pump and dump! Hope you're feeling better. Mastitis is awful.
