Pumping at 5 am

One thing that I have had some difficulty with was having to pump around the clock. I finally got it to where my supply stays up but the having to stay up after feeding a bottle to basically pump is hard. It’s lonely to have to do the night feed then turn around and pump out more food. But at the end of the day I am grateful to be able to do so and my son to love that time with me. Anyone else feeling that lonely but having a feeling of fulfillment at the same time?

Same here. I haven’t been pumping as much through the night but she doesn’t feed as long so I think I need to start again just so my supply doesn’t dwindle. During the day we’re good but night time she’s like mama I wanna sleep

I got a portable pump for the night feed! That way I pump while I bottle feed so I don’t have to spend twice as long doing both independently.

yes, I do the same

I do the same! But if I’m gonna be up after being woken up it’s hard for me to go back to sleep these days.

Yep. I have to keep my baby upright for 20 mins bc of his acid reflux 🫠

I feel this so much! Girl, I bought a sudoku and a word search book and have it next to my lil pump station to keep me busy during late night/ early morning pumps, because it was becoming extremely lonely for me , time flies by when you doing lil puzzles lol

Hands free pump works great for me. I can feed whilst pumping. Love the Medala hands free!

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
