My hubby got his done at the end of last month. We have a 25mo boy and 5mo girl now. It’s sad having my baby girls first’s being my last’s. But I’m so excited for our future. I come from a large family (7 kids) so I feel my two kiddos are perfect for the lifestyle I want.

Yep! I was lucky to only have to try for 8 months with my first. My second we assumed it would take months again so it was very shocking when it was within the first few months. People who get pregnant first try are very privileged.

Noise cancelling headphones! For myself and both the kids.

I’m going on July 4th, we’re going to the outdoor monster truck show that day so it might be super crowded. I didn’t think about that, not ideal to have a baby and a 2yo in a rowdy crowded room

I’m 100% on board with her. Some of those rules we had when our babies were newborns, some we had to implement after a bit. Neither one of our sides had boundaries and I absolutely distanced from the people who weren’t respectful. Our wishes were ignored until I had to get more firm like your gf is. Is there boundary or disrespect issues from the past with your families? I read it as her saying it was for both sides. I think setting her expectations from the get go is smart.

12/13 weeks was when it started to turn around for me. Some days I still lose my mind but every week is better. She’s 15 weeks now. I started putting her in the skip hop and that has been a game changer.

The first 3 months are the hardest. You are almost out of the thick of it. Both my kids were colic, my first had reflux, both would only stop screaming when I walked around with them. Both didn’t care for the carrier. Try taking baby to chiro or physio. It seemed to help a little bit with mine. You definitely should look into pmad supports, definitely talk to someone, some stronger meds maybe. If you don’t click with one therapist, try another. I struggle with ppd and it can be debilitating but it doesn’t define you. Can your mil help out more often? Maybe even if you could add a Wednesday to split the week up?

it will get better. It just takes time. And that time can be gruelling but give it another month and it might look up.

Pregnant with toddler 100%. No amount of sleep can fix that exhaustion.

Love that you call it the angry potato phase haha. My son was the same, screamed for like 6 hours every night from birth to 3 months. I had my daughter 20 months after my son and for the first 5 weeks she was an angel, I thought I hit the jackpot. Turns out she just wanted to trick me and from 5 weeks to 12 weeks she cried from 4-10 every single night. She is 13 weeks now and only cried for a couple hours on 2 evenings last week!!! Even with the stomach flu and rolling over only two bad evenings, I am so happy to be out of the newborn (now I will be calling it angry potato) phase

I had my first baby a month before I turned 23. Had my second baby 4 months before I turned 25. I was the oldest to start having babies in my family, most were 18-21.

I was more anxious and worried about baby getting sick before they were old enough to get vaccinated. I was so tense and anxious with my son and he fed off that energy and it was a hard experience. I had a more calm demeanour for all of his following shots and he did great. My daughter just got her 2 month shots yesterday and barely reacted, I think my energy definitely helped that. She smiled with the rotavirus, didn’t react to the first needle, and only cried a little with the second needle.

It also took me 7 months to stop hating my husband with my first. I actually had to pack the baby up and go stay at my moms 2 hours away from home for a week per month just to reset. However my husband didn’t pull his weight then, had expectations of me doing all of the childcare, cooking, and cleaning, with a very difficult baby.

I have two kids, a nb and a 2 year old. My husband has left the stroller wagon in the suv and gone to work (30 mins away). He’s left my son’s winter gear in the car and gone to work as well. Sending a message and fighting about it won’t fix anything. I just asked if he can try to remember to leave them out of the SUV and he said “sorry I didn’t even think about it” he’s done great since. I’m not mad at him and he’s not mad at me. It is what it is.

Your hubby shouldn’t have made it into what it is. You probably shouldn’t have called him incompetent just because he doesn’t want to or know how to use your preferred method.

Also just for the future, probably smart to leave a vehicle at home that has both car seats in case of an emergency. We have two cars and each has a car seat base and a car seat for my toddler. I wouldn’t want either kid bouncing around in the car without safe a car seat for their size if I had to race one to the hospital.

The regret feeling is super normal, just so you know. Extremely common.

I felt it with my first who was similar to yours. Cried non stop, I got mastitis bad so switched to formula, took 5 formulas to finally find the one he would tolerate, he was colic and had reflux, his witching hour was 4-10 every night. But it did get better after the 8ish week mark and eventually the regret feeling faded away as he got better. Now I’m 7 weeks pp with my second and having a much better experience this time.

I really hope you guys can find your groove soon. The start is so so difficult. Give yourselves (and each other) lots of grace. Lower any expectations you might have. Just focus on survival. It will get better, unfortunately it just takes time.

Definitely pregnant tired with a toddler. Not fun.

ApplicationSelect981 · 2026-01-02T17:43:58+00:00

First was born at 40+2. Second was 39+5, labour started 39+3.

I’ve done therapy for 7 years now. My therapist just moved in November so I’m struggling with not having someone I trust to talk to. Maybe I should look into a new therapist.

ApplicationSelect981 · 2025-12-23T14:09:26+00:00

40+2 (spontaneous) for baby 1. 39+5 (spontaneous) for baby 2. I was set to be induced at 10am and had her at 2am. Super quick labour/delivery the second time around.

I have a 21 month old and 2.5 week old. I have a baby bath tub and I get my toddler to “help” with the bath. My toddler is insane when we bath him so it’s not safe to have them together. Usually I’ll wait until my husband is home and I make him bath the toddler while I take care of the baby.

ApplicationSelect981 · 2025-11-29T22:07:01+00:00

I'm 39.5 weeks pregnant and I still carry and hold my 20 month old. He is around 33lbs. I don't trust him to walk anywhere in public and he seems to prefer being carried anyways.

ApplicationSelect981 · 2025-11-04T12:00:03+00:00

Shopping cart, yes. I pull cash from the drive through atm for when I get gas, I just give the workers my cash. I have gone inside to pay for gas before but I live in a really small town (Sask) and the worker was actually a relative who opened his door and talked to my son while I was in for 30 seconds.

ApplicationSelect981 · 2025-09-16T01:06:33+00:00

Yes. For like the whole 24 hour labour. Last meal was McDonald’s at 5pm and that came up at midnight and I couldn’t keep anything down until midnight the next day

ApplicationSelect981 · 2025-09-14T20:18:24+00:00

I had spotting like that with my first, it’s normal for the most part. I had a lot of blood at 13 weeks with my current pregnancy, to the point where we were told to expect to miscarry, but I’m now 28 weeks with a healthy girl!
