Right?! I didn't think so either, but my OB told me that at my 6 week appointment. I said I didn't want to go on BCP bc they always messed with my head a bit, and added that since it took 4 years for us to have a live birth, and I'm 34, I wanted to try again soon anyway. She said it'd be safe for me to eat pregnant 6 months after birth, and I didn't really have to worry about it if I kept breastfeeding!
I just see this post and I'm sorry if what I said seems insensitive. I really didn't mean it that way. I was just goofung around.
I am having a really hard last couple days. J is 4 weeks and I've been surprisingly stable until now. Weepy/lacking in coping/etc... maybe it's sleep related? He hasn't been sleeping as much at night. I really hope this doesn't stick around
FFC- I'd be ecstatic if I found out I was pregnant right now. Not going to happen bc I'm breastfeeding, but I'd love 2 under 1. 3 under 1 sounds a little scary, admittedly.
Here's where I share my parents horror(I'm joking I promise) story of my brothers that are 9 months and 29 days apart.
My mom breastfeed all of us.
Scary. Lol
My boss was talking about how she was born in January, and her younger sister was born in November of the same year. :0

Everything will get better with time. But man does it feel like time goes so slow during the 3 hard times.
Fwiw I also had a mood shift for a few days around the 4 week mark. The newness and visitors have died off and reality sets in.
Make sure to let someone know how you're feeling and don't think twice about calling your OB if you feel you need to.
Hugs lady.
I second this. For me it seems to be the lack of sleep finally catching up with me coupled with loneliness now that things are starting to settle in and feel more normal. I hope you start feeling more like yourself again soon and definitely don't hesitate to reach out to someone if you feel like you need more help! Hugs
On my first BMB, one of our mods had twins in Feb15 and then found out that she was pregnant when she was in her THIRD TRIMESTER in November15. Basically she got pregnant when her twins were like 6 weeks old or so. She had her third child in Jan16.
THREE UNDER ONE.
Woah
Also not knowing I'm pregnant for that long is basically the only thing in life I really fear.

My me time at target today was successful. I finally found a nursing bra I like. It's so comfy and I honestly can't wait to wear it tomorrow. I found a few shirts that I feel good in too.
Also picked up a box of wine since I can't seem to finish a bottle before it starts to turn bad. I don't even know who I am anymore lol

Add me to those that had a mood shift around 4 weeks. You will be on the other side soon.
We had a really nice Easter dinner this evening with BIL who's staying with us for the weekend. DD napped in her wrap while I did prep work so that was nice.
I think I need a reality check. This baby is 10 days old and has been so easy. It's going to get harder right? Or could I have been blessed with a chill kid?
So how special is this.... my cousin has a daughter about the same age as mine. She just posted a picture to facebook of her baby next to a picture of mine, saying that our babies are basically twins and our genes are so strong.
Um.......no...... This is my cousin who I haven't seen in a literal decade. We aren't close. Also our babies don't look very alike.

I can't see me being too excited about getting pregnant so soon after a baby. I always thought I wanted my babies close together but so far I'm diggin the 3 year age gap. I'm also diggin having some sanity.

A close friend will have 2u1 next year. I can't imagine. She's an example of the drop in birth control efficacy when you start pumping instead of ebf, she says.

If say if you make it past week 4 and she's still chill you're in the clear.
Those using silicone pumps...silly question because I know they're not actual pumps but...can I still nurse on the boob that the pump was on right after nursing the other boob? Like, it's not going to empty a boob right? Just collects what leaks?

jnow my baby is breezy AF. My stress has been nearly all toddler-related. Well, other than post-partum hormonal fuckery.
If everyone had babies with my kids' temperaments, they'd have lots of babies. I claim zero percent responsibility for this and just count my blessings.

Mine is 23 days old and is pretty chill for the most part. H freaked out an hour ago, telling me something was wrong with her because all she did today was sleep. I told him this was her normal, and he was surprised she's normally this chill. She gets a little fussy right around the time he comes home, but it's usually as she's waking up, needing a diaper change and dinner, and I'm trying to get the dogs fed and our dinner going.
This is fascinating.
I mean no snark at all I'm just...amazed that some babies are like this.
She also didn't sleep through the night regularly until 15 months. That's another story for another day. Butt I guess I'm just waiting for shit to hit the fan.

I'm kind of scared to write this down, but our little dude is super chill too. He's 1 month today and really doesn't cry much unless he's super hungry or mad bc we're changing him. In the car if he gets worked up it usually only lasts a few mins before he gives up and just stops. I think he knows he needs to be like this since his sister's pretty wild these days. But to be fair, she was an easy baby until she started moving - who knows what he has in store for us!!
