Does the pregnancy thirst go away after the baby comes or will I be tethered to my water bottle while breastfeeding as well?

I was way more attached once nursing

Same.

I became more attached with breastfeeding. I take 2 litres of water to bed every night

Yes I'd go through 60-80oz overnight.

Keep protein bars and snacks close at night too!!

Currently breastfeeding my 4mo, still attached to water but not as much as when I was pregnant

So there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Got it😂 Also, I love water and drank a lot of it prior to getting pregnant, but pregnancy thirst is different. I constantly feel parched even though I’m drinking tons a day

Yeah it just gets worse lol

Breastmilk is also mostly water so you will definitely be drinking a lot of water while breastfeeding! It can also help with supply.

I think it's way worse while breastfeeding. I have large cups everywhere I normally sit. Sometimes 2 large cups by the rocker at nighttime. I'm not one to spend dime on cups, but I'll say I love having stanley type cups for this reason. My hospital issues cups were emotional support cups for a long time until I started using my stanley knockoff.

I told my husband to keep my cups topped off at all times, makes a big difference.

In general I need way more hydration nursing, but also nothing has ever made me as thirsty in the moment as nursing or pumping— it’s so intense. I do smoothies with chia seeds and coconut water to help support hydration and it helps

Hi all! I’m new! I started the year off planning to save for a home for myself, then rates skyrocketed. So we’re holding off.

Does anyone have any experience here?

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks.
