Social media gives so much pressure to “get on our feet” that we feel like we have to move way too fast!

So wild! I’m glad you are okay. I was always on the look out while pregnant and then once I had the baby, I stopped thinking about me completely

Thank you Barb!! You are amazing! And wow your little one was born with gallstones? Why, so what did your journey look like after that? I’m grateful you guys were okay! I literally just made a new post on the topic of pumping and going back to work. Ahh there isn’t a manual for leaving your little one while going back to work to support your little one. I do apologize it took me a minute to respond back to you. How are you? How is life? And do you have anymore children?

THAT’S SO SCARY! I’m so glad you’re still here and got checked out. It’s super hard to self prioritize with a new baby. The right things is the hard thing a lot of the time. I hope you’re doing okay now.

SO glad you were able to catch things before they got past the point of no return! And so happy to hear you have a supportive hubby that doesn’t allow you to disregard yourself :heart_hands:t3: I just learned the hard way that it’s important to talk to your Dr about odd things. Ended up with my gallbladder removed in an emergency situation that likely wouldn’t have been an emergency if id listened to my body and not brushed off the severe pain I thought was heartburn. I hope you’re recovering well and getting to enjoy your newborn bundle and LO! :heart_hands:t3:

No worries! The drs were kinda stumped with her gallstones bc it is so rare! We try an avoiding fried foods to help. We honestly don’t know when she has belly pain if it’s belly pain, constipation, food intolerance or Gallstones.

You are so right. There is no manual for going back to work and it’s so hard! I hope you are doing well :two_hearts:
