EBF and hungry all the time!

I’m EBF and I’ll eat 3 times a day but I get hungry so quickly after eating and can’t stay full. Really annoying because I’ll pick up junk to snack on for the convenience. Anyone else in a similar position? Any tips on easy snacks?

Blocked tear ducts

My baby has blocked tear ducts and now one of his eyes has gone a bit sore and was wondering if there’s any suggestions on how to help? I massage the corners of his eyes and clean them with sterilised water but they don’t seem to be clearing up and now one of his eyes is very red on the lid and outer corner

Maybe tmi?

Anyone else have like insane pain on their actual hole lately? It’s not just “lightning crotch”, it is so much worse. Earlier it went on for like 10 minutes straight and the pain was so bad I couldn’t move. It will legit feel like baby’s trying to push her head out.

Constant pain to the point I can hardly walk

I'm 30 weeks, for the last week I've been having constant pain in my pelvis. It's been manageable but this morning I literally can hardly walk.
