Blah
I'm so tired of pumping. I'm tired of the constant sore nipples. I'm tired of my boobs being 5x their normal size (34 DDD before pregnancy, 38J now). I'm tired of waking up before everyone to pump. I'm tired of staying up late to pump. I'm tired of scheduling my day around my pumps. I'm tired of pumping.
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
My stash!! I'm super pumped
funny thought. I live in Michigan and am on medical cannabis for epilepsy but quit since I'm pregnant but sitting here thinking after the baby is born my milk is gonna be THC infused lmfao! (they said to breast feed before I do my cannabis or wait until after probably gonna pump enough for a few days) but idk if I can still breast feed with the cannabis and my seizure meds I'm on I asked my doctor and she said to wait until I don't feel the effects of the cannabis or pump before but since then my seizure meds have gone up to 1000 mg.
Up in Walmart and my SO walking around the whole store my lower back starting to hurt I'm tired😩😩
when pumping Do you get the same amount each pump session or does it vary? I'm exclusivity pumping and I'm having trouble telling if my supply is going up or not.

Yea my twins r almost 2 months and I'm trying to get to a year for them. It's stressful and it sucks. I hope we all can make it to our goals

Dd is 6 months. My goal is to get through December. Then I will have enough in my stash to get her to 1 year on BM. I was mentally ok until just recently. I need to change my attitude or I will be tempted to quit early. Pretty much the only thing keeping me going now is we are traveling for Christmas/New Years and I can't pack frozen BM so I will need to pump for her to eat.

The really sucky part that as dd gets older she sleeps less. She is pretty high maintenance and will not play while I pump. Today I had to stop mid morning pump bc she woke up then finish like an hr and a half later and now she refuses to sleep this afternoon and I haven't been able to pump in 6 hrs. Afternoons are def the hardest between dd's naps, picking up ds from school and making sure he does his homework and chores and my pumps take at least 30 min to get to empty.

Will baby latch at all? My now 5 month old wouldn't so I was just pumping, just before she turned four months I thought I would try nursing for the heck of it and LO and behold she latched like a pro! I was getting soooo sick of pumping and all the time it took and was so happy she finally will just nurse. I say unless you are just pumping for other reasons give it a shot, you never know!

I haven't tried to nurse in a long time. I have very large breasts and flat nipples so we have some challenges there. I actually am now planning to wean off the pump by Christmas (lo will be 8 months) bc I have enough in my stash to last about 4 months! I have light at the end of the tunnel!
