So this is my 3rd day of agony. :( my blood pressure has been constantly high to were all i want to do is cry. I feel apot of confusion nd in another world.i was told to change medications have to stop breastfeeding. The thought of stopping makes me cry nd just cry. I have like no friends to just talk with. I know i need to do it for my health.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time and hope you are able to feel better very soon. The guilt does get lighter with time so don't let it cloud your decision to do what's best for you and your little one. Take it from a mama who really wanted to exclusively bf but couldn't. My son is thriving on formula and your baby will to if that is what you decide to do. ❤️
Your baby will not benefit from you suffering or dying from a stroke. I know you’re sensitive for wanting your baby to have breast milk but you need to make a pro/con list. Your baby is already 5 months old (maybe more) and you only have to give formula for the first year. ALDI and Costco or Walmart have generic formula that isn’t too expensive - you could probably also reach out to a food bank if it was a complete hardship. However, a baby needs his mommy more than her milk.
Edited to add: breast milk is only marginally better than formula if that gives you peace of mind— research will help you feel better about making the switch. Moms put a TON of pressure on each other to BF but it’s not necessary.
I’m sorry that your going thru such a hard time. I can relate. My blood pressure is not high but I feel like breastfeeding has affected me a lot. My hormones are crazy and it’s been really though on me. Then I think about quitting breastfeeding and I feel bad because I have good supply and latch and I know there are plenty of women out there who wish they could say the same. For my own health I started introducing formula little by little, it was hard at first but eventually I got her to start liking formula/bottles. Now she does half and half but I want to take her completely off by the time she’s like 6-8 months. Sometimes you just have to do what’s best for you hun! ??♀️
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Thank you everyone. You have no idea how much it means your kind words mean(:
