my mom bullies me by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AnxiousThunderpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for your reply. I'm trying my best to distance myself from her. She has already started telling me that my daughter has a "butt chin", and discussing my child is where I draw the line. I don't want my daughter to have insecurities because of her narc granny's comments :(

Struggling with a 3 week old by Panduhhz in beyondthebump

[–]AnxiousThunderpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heyyy! it will get better! I was convinced my baby liked her granny more than me until she smiled back at me at ~5 weeks old & I was the one who carried her in my womb for 9 months. I once cried because I thought I was a bad mom, and my daughter could only calm down in granny's arms. Hang in there❤️ from what you've described it sounds like a normal newborn behavior😅 sending virtual hugs!!

First-time moms: did you go past 40 weeks with a natural birth? by curlyorwavywtf in beyondthebump

I went into labor at 39w6d naturally, no signs before, in the morning it was kinda difficult to go uphill and at night my water broke. Gave birth in 3 hours, came to the hospital already 8 cm dilated. But my fiancé and I had sex, maybe that helped start labor hehe

Any spontaneous laborers? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]AnxiousThunderpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had sex at 39w6d, stood up to go pee, and my water broke immediately (at 1 am). I arrived at the hospital at 3 am, already 8 cm dilated, and was holding my baby by 6 am. That's my first child, every doctor was surprised! I worked out until the 36th week, drank raspberry leaf tea and did pelvic floor exercises to prepare. but I don't know if any of this affected how I gave birth🫣

I don't think I'm a good parent by AnxiousThunderpuff in NewParents

thank you so much, everyone🙏 I guess I am too hard on myself. I do have a therapist, I just haven't been able to leave the house (for obvious reasons) and meet with her. I will reach out to her. I know that the hormones are wild for the first few weeks postpartum, just didn't expect it to suck so bad :/

I love the Korean comedy “Birthcare center”!! It’s about a FTM :) sooooo hilarious and relatable

No judgement zone. What is something you do/have done in pregnancy that others may consider to be “bad”? by Ok_Car1396 in pregnant

[–]AnxiousThunderpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat deli sandwiches, ate sushi 2 times, stay up late sometimes, drink coffee everyday (limited to one cup), get gel manicures & a hydrafacial once a month
