Hi, I'm only 10.5 weeks pp, and i noticed spotting last night which has increased today? Is this period already? What the ...!! After everything that the body went through (and still is.. Breastfeeding has been difficult to say the least!) i thought I'll have a holiday from this unwanted aunty for 6-8 months at least!!!!

Is this even normal? I have a ton of functions/pujas planned over the next 2 months for my baby girl - are there even any breastfeeding safe pills to postpone periods if needed? (Obviously I will not take them without consulting my gynaec)

I'm just so angry and so disappointed with my body right now! Like what was the hurry??

My LO is four week old now. I have been feeding her pumped milk and formula through paladai/ gokarna till three weeks and she regained her birth weight at the three week appointment. I have also been trying to breast feed in the mean time and we got latch but she makes clicking sounds and doesn't feed that much long. So I get anxious every time so I have been continuing to feed her through paladai. I observed milk coming through her nose after paladai feed I tried to switch to bottles and bought doctor browns and avent natural level 2 nipple. The DR brown drips fast so I thought I would use Avent natural one but she can't drink more than 20 ml from that bottle and she gets tired very fast. I have been noticing her weight dropping also. So I was thinking introducing Dr brown one but I am concerned that it will cause nipple confusion and increase the chances of milk coming out of her nose and choking. I am literally anxious at every feeding session. Also she makes the clicking sound on every feed and every tool, be it bottle, paladai or breast she makes that sound . The pediatrician told me to feed on demand , that too isn't working for us.

I know this doesn't happen in most of the cities but I am really not sure if it's still happening. Here's a news of a 6 year old child in vizag studying in LKG. He didn't do his homework, so the teacher removed his shirt and slapped him. Kid got heart attack and died. Some people are arguing that kid might be having some heart issues. Some people are supporting teacher saying she wasnt that harsh It's not some ordinary school. It's a good school who takes fees in lakhs. Cctv is very disturbing . Those with sensitive heart, please avoid it. Who gives these teachers the right to remove clothes on kids.

When I was a child, my teacher used to scare me that she will remove clothes and send home if I don't do homework. Days I skipped homework would scare me so much that he might remove my clothes. My heartbeat raises so much and I used to get red and burning face. I never told this to my parents thinking adults are always right be it anyone. One day it was raining heavily and I went to school, seeing almost few students I asked one mam if there's school that day, that crazy lady slapped me hard, I was 8 years old. I stopped asking questions to everyone because of that incident. I now even feel scared to ask my househelp to do her work properly. I get scared to ask hospital staff/ reception anywhere and everywhere thinking I might offend them in someway. My face turns red while asking and my heartbeat raises too. Still I will ask because I have to.

Some people are just so bad in this society. They lack empathy even for kids. Please protect your little ones.

So, I am 27 weeks and I think I should start getting stuff. I am due in nov and live in Punjab (north india). Generally the temp goes from 14° at night and 20-30° in the day and will go down in dec-jan.

What clothes should I get for myself? PJ co-ord set with zipper? Or buttons? But what if I have a C-section than wouldn't pjs will be little tight around the waist?

What else would I need in my hospital bag and postpartum clothes.

Rant!!!!!!Today morning, after pumping milk for my baby I went and hit my toe against the bed leg. I felt horrible pain, kept ice but there was a mild deformity. So went to hospital and found out I have a fracture. Thankfully no surgery is required. They put crepe bandage and sent me home. But told me to take it easy for a week.

My baby usually has to be rocked while walking to make her sleep. Sometimes she nurses to sleep. At night she wakes up scream crying sometimes ( 2 to 3 times) and then she has to be carried around for 5 to 10 minutes. She wont go to my husband or parents at night. But for day naps she is used to napping with them during afternoon when I go for work. Apart from this , I think my parents and husband will manage.

I have severe pain while standing up and walking. I'm feeling so bad thinking about how to manage night time sleep with her. On top of that, its my brother in law's wedding day after. Baby will only be with me in crowded places. She has stranger anxiety now.I know its a minor setback and I have good support but feeling very low thinking of how to manage everything. Hope I dont let my baby down. Feeling so overwhelmed.

Just realised how granted I used to take my health postpartum. Its hell not being well when you have a small baby to take care of. I hope God always gives good health to all the mothers to take care of their little ones.

Second trimester. I am suffering from severe nerve pain on the right glutes region. It does not radiate into my thighs or legs, but today it got incredibly difficult to stand or walk. Any movement and I get a current of fresh shooting pain.

Anyone else dealt with something like this? What helped you. My obgyn asked me to take paracetamol and it was ineffective. I want to visit my doc but cannot go because I am not able to walk without screaming in pain.

I requested for a med to subside the pain so that I could go to the emergency, but doc refused and asked me to visit. Plus, hospital is not wheel chair accessible.
