DS was 2 weeks yesterday and he really took that 2 week wake up to heart. Things are not easy right now. Weeks 2-5 were rough! Then the 6 week growth spurt hit.

Okay, so his levels went up, but they're still under the limit, so they're sending us home. We have to go back again in 2 days, and in the meantime he gets fed as much as absolutely possible Glad you get to go home! If you are getting a new pump, I totally recommend the Spectra. I love mine so far and I'm pumping all the time.

Also, your insurance should cover one if your OB writes a prescription.

I've been kind of crampy today and baby has been really wiggly. I'm really nervous about going into labor at what I'm sure will be the most inconvenient time

Soo I am either having a weird post partum bloody show (I only bled for a week), or I am having my first postpartum period. At 3.5 weeks PP 🙄🙄

I'm so sorry kookie3631. Why can't people just keep their mouths shut?! yes. And the random woman in the parking lot who asked me how much longer I had. I looked at her and said “I’m 8 days overdue”. She almost had a horrified look on her face. Like have people never met/seen someone go past their due date before?!?!? Sorry people are dumb. I hope baby comes out soon!

I didn’t even need a prescription, i was surprised - she said since insurance is required to provide you some form of one they didn’t need one. It was so easy to get it. I would call and ask for sure

Also, your insurance should cover one if your OB writes a prescription. I went to Toys R Us (they were bought by Canadians here so not closing) and ended up getting an Avent pump to compliment the bottles we have. Seems to be working well. I'm pretty sure our insurance won't cover the pump unfortunately, but I'm going to give them a call later today. Even if they don't cover the one I got it was only $300.

My bleeding came and went and came back with both kids. This was true for me this time too. I haven’t had much bleeding in a few weeks, but then last night, I had some clotting and bleeding and had to start wearing a pad again. I’m 6 weeks postpartum today.

I would call and ask for sure This was my experience also. It's a benefit of the ACA that everyone gets a pump provided by insurance, whether it is a rental one or one to own. My first son was born right when it first started, so I got a nice new Medela one with cooler and tote bag. I think they realized they can give less nice versions so now I got a basic model from Medela, but it all sucks well.

After DD I bled for at least 2 weeks, than got AF back shortly after and it lasted 2 weeks and came every month until I got my Mirena placed and it got a little lighter. With DS I started the minipill at 6w and it was a little lighter but still came every month. This time I plan on having the Mirena placed at my 6w postpartum appt Not to scare anyone, but we're not all lucky bishes that don't get AF

Thanks everyone, It seems to be gone this morning, so probably not the return of AF yet. I was pretty crampy yesterday night after spending the day with both kids so I guess I ‘just’ over did it. I have to remind myself I birthed a child less than a month ago because I feel good physically !

I’m glad to hear that you had a decent enough experience with it to use it again, because I’ve heard mixed reviews. When my first son was born I went on Depo-Provera to keep my endometriosis at bay since we wanted another kid, so I didn’t have a period for a year, but that was by design.

I had one placed after DS was a year also because at the time it was recommended while BF and kept it for the full 5 years. DD was about 1.5yo when I had the 2nd one placed and kept it about 3 years. I normally have very heavy AF and it made it much lighter right away and went away after about a year. I highly recommend it for long-ish term but not permanent BC

I had mirena and I'm getting it back in too. I had it for 3 years, and after the first 6 weeks where I bled on and off, I only had a day of light spotting every 4-6 weeks, which was completely different from my normal 5-7 days of heavy bleeding and pain.

I had the Mirena after DD1. I loved it except for the low sex drive. But that's any BC for me. I read lucky in that I didn't have a period on it. So I'd love to go back on it for that reason, but I'm not sure. I may go for the copper IUD instead in hopes it won't mess with my sex drive.

First pedi appointment today.
Good news: J is already over birth weight at 5 days old! Way to go, my little milk monster.
Bad news: he has a congenital defect where his urethral opening is on the underside of his penis, which will require surgical correction. Pedi said we’d discuss more at his 1 month appt.

Yay for the weight gain! Sorry about the surgery, but hopefully it will be a quick and relatively easy fix.

Thanks, y’all. I think I’m more worried about the general anesthesia than the surgery itself, but google tells me the surgery is usually done between 6-12mo so not gonna fret about it yet.
