Nbd. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589651 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:27:57 +0000 ladyfingers 589651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more comfortable feeding in front of my FIL than my dad. Though I will try to cover up in front of FIL. Otherwise I haven't mastered getting DS latched w a cover on and bf'ing is a 2-handed job for me (newborn w/poor neck control + large boobs/small nipples) so many friends have seen full boob and nipple. And I don't care. And neither do they. In fact we had friends over and the wife and I both fed side by side on the couch - though our husbands did step outside during that portion of the evening :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589544 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:53:33 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 589544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: My dad will not see my boobs ever! That would still freak me out : ) But I pump (covered) in front of him...and pretty much everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589167 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:58:10 +0000 dagret 589167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: my dad saw my boobs after delivery. Everyone was flurrying around and I was partially uncovered, but I was so exhausted I didn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589123 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:12:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 589123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my dad has seen my boobs. Whatever. </p> <p>That would have freaked me out prebaby. Now, if I need to feed her I need to feed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589095 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:44:08 +0000 immabeetoo 589095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: that's what spouses are for!! I promise the hormones will calm down though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589085 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:33:54 +0000 MaisyMay 589085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've pumped in fron tof my FIL twice now, with a cover. I let my MIL do dishes for us, including washing bottles. Those were surprises to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589081 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:30:00 +0000 photojane 589081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually the opposite! I've never been a terribly clean person, and pre-baby my house was never spotless, but now it really bothers me. I feel so overwhelmed at the dishes in the sink and the three baskets of clothes that need to be folded &amp; put away. It wouldn't have bothered me before, but my hormones are telling me that I'm a disgusting mess of a mother for not getting this stuff done already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589069 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:23:01 +0000 PrincessBaby 589069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: I was reserved about BFing at first, but when we're somewhere and that frantic "I'm hungry!" Crying starts, I'm a lot more relaxed about feeding anywhere I need to without caring AT ALL...I've actually accidentally flashed my brother bc he came in a room I was feeding her in (covered) and while talking to him, my boob came out of H's mouth and she started freaking out, and without thinking I moved the cover, exposing my boob, and put it back into her mouth...I didn't even know what I did until I saw how embarassed he looked! I was like, "Oh woah! I just flashed you, didn't I?" I never thought I'd be that way either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-589057 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:16:21 +0000 immabeetoo 589057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In laws are here today and I didn't clean at all... I did put on real clothes though so I consider that my extra effort haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-588931 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 12:01:33 +0000 dagret 588931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-588930 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 11:59:22 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 588930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was surprised that I didn't care about work at all. There are actually a lot of things I just don't care about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-revelations#post-588852 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:40:57 +0000 dagret 588852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So is anyone surprised at your attitude shifts postpartum, from what you had expected before your LO is born? </p> <p>For example, I had to breastfeed at his follow up appt at our RE. I just whipped out the boon in front of the nurses (and our newborn photographer too, come to think of it.) I thought I would be more reserved about bfing in front of others. </p> <p>Also, we have company arriving any minute and I haven't showered or brushed my teeth. But he's sleeping, and I just fed him ( they are not people I would feed him in front of) so it's a good time as any for a visit.<br /> That's all I can think of for now.<br /> What about you? </p>
