Take a hot shower or use a heating pad before pumping. Also try a hand pump - that worked better. Additionally use an electric toothbrush to work out the clog. Apply pressure in front of the clog (like between the clog and nipple if possible).

I’ve seen a few tik toks that say Hakka pump with warm water and epsom salt helps

Sunflower lecithin, ibuprofen, haaka trick, VERY gentle massage. Do not aggressively rub it, that will cause inflammation and make it worse.

Thisssss. I legit bruised my breast trying to work out a clog and it hurt so much ☹️

Maybe it’s denial and I need to get over that mindset of “I can fix this” or that there’s nothing “wrong” with me and that adhd it’s just a phase in my life, but I really am just not there yet. Are there any natural things anyone has found to be helpful?

Is it normal to have only an 8 week US and a 20 week anatomy scan and then nothing for the rest of the pregnancy? This is my first so I don’t know what’s “normal” but I’m also worried that if we don’t check on baby we literally have no idea what’s going on in there and if he’s okay. There’s so many things that could be going on we literally have no idea… is this normal???

She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.
