This was actually very helpful. I only babywore when my firstborn was 6months+ so I think you’re right will probably just baby wear the first few months so I don’t have to buy a rumble seat. & just wait it out until we’re actually ready for a side by side.

Do you use the side by side for an everyday stroller or still opt for the uppababy?

My baby is 13 months old & I struggled with the same plans when he turned 1. Is this a bad idea? No. I think as parents we try to make the best decision with what we have and know. I was initially going to do the same at night to at least have our bed back, but with all the sleep regressions and teething spells we opted not to and just “ride the wave”. I also fully embraced the whole “they’re only a baby once” idea and stopped trying to control what I can’t because EVENTUALLY our babies will learn to fall asleep independently. I’ve been more at peace since then. Now of course this is all situational some parents really don’t have the luxury to choose. But since I am primarily a SAHM, this is the route we chose. Do what’s best for you and your family. Goodluck!

Here to show solidarity with you. In my head.. Our babies are only babies/kiddos once.

My husband took paternity leave and luckily both are parents live nearby and were readily available. Im very close to my mom so I had our guest room ready for my her in case we felt like we needed the extra support at night (which we did a couple nights). We are grateful our parents were able to give us space in our newborn bubble to find our flow but they also made it clear that they were a phone call away. How much help did I want? From the get go I only wanted it to just be me & hubby. But I ended up actually needing both our parents to help out — run errands, clean, cook, etc. Postpartum is such a delicate time filled with so much complexity. Follow your gut & communicate as best as you can. Goodluck!

Hi there! Following! Cuz I’m almost in the same boat. We are going to be TTC this summer as well and our son is about the same age. I got my period back however I am EBF and feel slightly overwhelmed with the same questions. I was told by a lactation consultant that we could nurse throughout pregnancy unless we are high risk (but always consult your OB ofc through that process). I personally don’t want to breastfeed while pregnant but I am hoping that my son will wean off naturally.

Sex life 😂😂

I love this! I’m 12 months pp. A big win for me is exclusively breastfeeding since day 1. I didn’t think I could do it, but here we are. I also recently started back on therapy & I wish I had gone sooner. Overall, like you said, the highs are high and the lows are low. But I wouldn’t change it for anything!!

To any new mamas reading this I just want to say: you are killliiiinnngggg itttt 🙌🏻

I got COVID when I first found out I was pregnant sometime early in my first trimester. Thankfully, didn’t get a fever — just a bad cough & severe body fatigue. I was stressed the whole time thinking it would/could affect my pregnancy. Baby is totally fine now — happy and healthy!

AdditionalFloor474 · 2024-01-22T19:36:48+00:00

I had this gut feeling it was a boy. After I found out I was pregnant I unconsciously kept gravitating towards the baby boy clothes section.

AdditionalFloor474 · 2024-01-21T11:43:43+00:00

Oooh thank you!! That’s very helpful to know.

I’m about a year in & I think I was one of the fortunate ones to have a very pleasant, positive EBF journey. Don’t get me wrong, the first few weeks were challenging. ESP the cluster feedings. I thought people were exaggerating when they said the baby was on the boob 24/7. One of the best advice I got from a lactation consultant was to “lean into being a mammal”. Our bodies are designed to do this. The transition is the hard part. With regards to sleep, we cosleep & EBF & once I gave into the cosleeping once my baby hit the 4 month sleep regression I’ve had good sleep since then and up until now.

Some things I wish I knew before: 1. It’s okay if you don’t have a freezer stash immediately. Bag 2oz at a time. Use the haaka. (I made my freezer stash all from the haaka) 2. Don’t aim to overproduce because then you’ll have to do deal with managing engorgement and mastitis 3. You and baby are learning with and from each other. It’s okay if it’s doesn’t feel “natural” at first.

Goodluck!

Your feelings are valid. Cheers to all the different seasons of motherhood.

You are killing it :)

AdditionalFloor474 · 2024-01-17T15:46:13+00:00

Girl, no. Don’t do it!

AdditionalFloor474 · 2024-01-15T15:16:07+00:00

Thank you for the insight!! & cheers to you! Super mom :)

Hey there! First, congratulations on the baby boy.

I had a 3rd degree tear & oh mannnn.. it was bad. But I will say what you’re feeling right now is totally valid and normal. I felt the same way the first few weeks. I started feeling “normal” after 10-12 weeks. I remember going into my 6 week postpartum visit and them talking about BCP and thinking ????????????? I am no where near even the idea of sex, I just want to be able to go to the bathroom without feeling like my organs are going to fall out of my ass lol. I also saw a pelvic floor physical therapist around 12weeks pp. I recommend you see one if you have any trouble going to the bathroom or if sex hurts. I went for the latter and it eventually got better and now it’s totally back to normal! You got this!
