@HRP1990 massive congrats on the news! Welcome to the boys club!🧢
@mrsbgb I’m really happy about your good news, I did hear prior that very often the outcome is not catastrophic as our bodies know to compensate with the size and the power of the other kidney in cases like this & @MrsM89 I don’t think you should even consider how it comes across, NHS is falling behind on all possible dimensions these days, there’s no shame to raising questions and reminding of yourself when an appointment is due. Your worries affect your health after all.
@SpicyMoth apparently no. My friend is struggling with this right now. Apparently post natal weight loss is easier for those who do not breast feed because when we breastfeed our body is programmed to store extra reserve to facilitate milk production as it does take quite a lot of bodily work to keep producing milk over a period of time. So when we breastfeed we apparently can feel tired often as the body prioritises resource for milk, but weight doesn’t want to go down.
@Lillers my mom had this with my brother, she said she had to go for the injections on a regular basis, several times over term but that was long time ago, maybe times have changed and maybe there’s a technology that doesn’t involve periodic injections these days.
In terms of clothing for me I am still wearing the same maternity jeans. The smallest ones are starting to feel tighter around my thighs, not sure if that’s from fluid retention or I’m growing fatter again. Either way I feel like a hippo🦛 with all this and I’m not going to weight myself to find out. My lashes have also become shorter and thinner. I don’t like how I am starting to look, I feel like I look older.
In terms of baby stuff I have still not bought anything (waiting for baby expo) and I cannot purchase second hand stuff either because it weirds me out. I am really weird when it comes taking stuff from other people, especially strangers. I feel like if I will bring home some bag from someone else’s house, with their second hand clothes or gadgets, feels like I don’t know where it’s been sat and feels like I’ll bring home some sort of pests from their house if it makes any sense? I also feel like I’m bringing home someone else’s energy if I am bringing stuff that was preowned. It’s some sort of mental block, I don’t know what’s causing it but I am also mega picky about the material stuff is made of so I’m not even going to try looking at vinted. I peeked at Facebook marketplace and got grossed out by most stuff I saw on there.
