I’m not actually sure what flair to use but Im currently sick and pregnant with my second. I couldn’t produce anything with my first and even stopped leaking within a month. I’m 33 weeks and my partner is also sick and my left boob is killing me. Just one, not both so I started massaging it and started leaking. I lightly hand expressed because it’s also kinda encouraged and I’m having small orange chunks come out. It feels A LOT better but does this warrant a call to my doctor?

So the only things that help my heartburn is milk and cheese so I just kinda walk around like a mouse. I swear I got heartburn just from breathing the other day. I bought 2 gallons of milk yesterday, kinda reaching it was at 9 pm but yeah, and now I’m opening the second gallon. I’m gonna name my baby milk lol. But hey, at least I will have strong bones when I grow up wink wink 🤣

Not in a bad way (actually kinda sorta if you really think about it). You know that victory cry when everything has been falling apart and it’s finally going just the way you want it to. My managers don’t just ask if I’m ok or need a break, they actually ask how I’m doing. They don’t make it sound like I need to be ok for their own arses. They ask about my pregnancy, they actually engage with me. It made me realize I’ve never worked somewhere where employees were actually treated like people. And honestly they engage with me more than people in my personal life do and that actually means soooo much more. I was only going to work there until I had the baby so I could find a better schedule and commute to work with my partners schedule but it has made me reevaluate my plans. Well that and the 12 weeks of leave. This is my first job since 2022 that has made me feel like an actual person while working there.
