I have a mildly prolapsed bladder. I’m so upset- I tried exercising at 5 weeks and may have made it worse. Going to start physical therapy soon. I have a little lump where it is and it’s freaking me out and I’m so worried it’s gonna be messed up forever. Has anyone here successfully PTd their way back from a prolapsed organ?
Our baby hasn’t pooped since 6pm last night … plenty of wet diapers/feeding normal but I’m getting worried. She’s always sharting so this is so weird. I feel like an idiot because I took a break breastfeeding yesterday and did formula for 5 feedings and feel like that has caused this. Started breastfeeding again at 2am. She’s had the formula before w no problems but not that many feedings. I breastfeed 90% of the time. Have tried warm compress, moving her legs/butt around, bicycles etc. any ideas I’m missing? On call nurse says give it another day and then bring her in … thank u!
I’m living on the postpartum thread right now. I can’t help but feel I’ve lost my spark since baby born a month ago… I love her so much but I feel like I’m not funny or creative anymore and it’s affecting me being a good mom. I want to be fun with her but I just have no energy left after breastfeeding and never sleeping. I want to be so much more for her but it’s just so hard right now. I know this will pass but it’s hard to remember a time before I felt like this. When did you see a light through the trees?
When did moms get back to doing things for themselves while having a newborn? Hobbies, exercise…. When did you feel not dead tired anymore? 3 am feeding my peanut as we speak 😬
My baby is almost a month …. So worried that I’m hurting her little legs when I wear her- how does this look?
Me and my husband have a great relationship and we really love and care for each other so much. Our baby was born two weeks ago and she’s so perfect, we’re really blessed. But I can’t help grieving a part of our relationship. I am missing being with my husband- I miss sharing a bed and just being together in the moment without anything on our minds. I know the newborn stage won’t last forever and we’ll be able to sleep together again soon etc but how are other mommies dealing with this?
Our baby is almost two weeks old. About 3 days ago she started taking much less time on each breast (maybe like 5-10 on each one). She appears healthy and is peeing / pooping normal. She feeds every 1-2.5 hours. I have an appointment on Monday but just curious about other parents’ experiences
I do occasionally pump so my husband can feed her for a shift at night. I pumped after one of her feeds and there was barely anything in there which makes me think she’s getting enough. But again those seem like such short feed times it worries me
I’m 32 weeks and I bartend for a living …. I thought I’d be able to work through this month but I’ve definitely hit a wall. 8 hours on my feet is just so painful…. I’ve gotten some kind of injury in my thigh where every step hurts and I’m walking with a funny limp now lol. I’m so disappointed - I was really looking forward to bartending during the World Cup but it’s looking like I’m not gonna be able to make it through next week. I am also concerned about hurting the baby- I’ve been pretty active my pregnancy but the standing for such long periods is starting to feel unhealthy. And it feels like I need to rest for the whole day after I work which I hate 🤦♀️ My boss / coworkers are very understanding, it’s more my own personal frustration with my changing body that’s the problem . Anyone else in the same boat / have some comforting words 😬🥺
