Yes I don't know what causes it
I haven’t had that but makes sense because when I had a clogged milk duct I could feel it in my arm pit. My lactation consultant was explaining to me how breast tissue stretches all the way up there
I was sick at like 19w and sweating profusely and vomiting, and at one point I was so itchy all over it was like hell on earth.
I bet there is a pregnancy hormone that is an epidermal excretion that causes the skin to itch due to sweat or something 😑
YES and I wish I knew why
YES!!!!!

Baby poops
I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.

Sex..
I’m really not interested at all 8 weeks post partum and my husband has been asking. I had a traumatic birth with forceps, an episiotomy and a small tear in vagina. We didn’t really have sex during pregnancy and that was fine as we were both a little weirded out by it!
I just wanted to check if others have felt the same!

Placenta Encapsulation
Curious what everyone is planning to do with their placenta after birth. Has anyone tried encapsulation, or is anyone considering it?
I’ve been looking into the process and would love to hear real experiences, good or bad. Is it worth it?
