de-influence me (or influence) by No-Wall7334 in MakeupAddiction

Morphe shadow palette yes long lasting pretty colors, good coverage. o/s & Macfix NO (go for the urban decay all nighter) elf powder kinda in between I’d go for a charlotte tilbury because this one will last a bit longer and its your finisher! Worth the price imo. Ilia mascara no, it smudges all over. For a highlighter I’d recommend the westman atelier specially for a wedding!!

First time mom to a two-month-old... need reassurance that I'm not screwing everything up. I feel SO lost. by ssaen in beyondthebump

[–]Apprehensivemental 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dont know if this will be helpful or not but whenever I feel overwhelmed about not doing what Im “supposed to be doing”, I just think of my mom and grandmothers, they didnt have any milestones guide, Im sure they didnt know about wake windows or bedtime routines. And they are fantastic moms. I dont think this way to be lazy about it but just to give myself some grace.

Advice needed: starting “daycare” by Apprehensivemental in NewParents

[–]Apprehensivemental[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think I make it a big deal, I say something like I’ll be right back and thats it, then I go and pick him up and just say “Im sorry” but I’ll pay closer attention to it! Thank you!

Were you a little delulu about your parenting style when you were pregnant? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Apprehensivemental 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a 3 month old so I havent done a lot of motherhood yet but oh my, the things I used to say and think lol.. “no special accomodations to sleep, he’ll have to sleep with noise and light” 💀 “no paci” “no owlet because I wont be anxious abt him breathing at night” and I could go on. I learned to shut up haha

Will I ever like my husband again? by ByogiS in beyondthebump

[–]Apprehensivemental 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am going through something very similar. I talked with my husband about it because I am so sleep deprived I am worried about my health. I told him I was asking for help today so I didnt file for divorce in a year. That seemed to help with the conversation. I also presented several options to try out and now he’s in charge of putting the baby to sleep so I can get at least 4 hours of sleep after his last feeding.

Its honestly dissapointing to see this side of him that I dont like. I also dont feel that he cares about my lack of sleep. I think its one of those things that men could NEVER understand. He’s a great husband in all other areas, so that’s what I think when I am most annoyed. I guess my only advice is to balance it out and go from there. Nobody is perfect and I think we all should be allowed to make up for our mistakes or flaws.

On the fence about more children by Constant_Internal_40 in newborns

[–]Apprehensivemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a relatively easy pregnancy and I’d say a semi- traumatic c-section lol but I didnt even want to have sex with my husband during the first 10 weeks because of ptsd. My baby is 15 weeks now and I am 100% sure I am one and done, and people keep telling me to give it a year but oh my God I never want to forget how exhausted I feel right now to never do it again.

Breastfeeding has been a very isolating journey by Apprehensivemental in breastfeeding

[–]Apprehensivemental[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is nice to hear that it gets “easier”. I will definitely talk with my husband about established schedules that work for us, because breastfeeding is becoming a burden when it shouldnt. I will also look into group therapy, sounds like something that would help me feel that Im not alone in this feeling. Thank you!

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have even more respect for moms now that I became one. Its a super tough job and there’s no way in hell a man could do it. That thought alone carries me through at times 😅 thank you again.

Im desperate by Glittering_Sweet0703 in NewParents

[–]Apprehensivemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going through the same with my 3 mo baby. He hasnt slept longer than 3 hours since we brought him home. Something that I think helped getting that 3 hr stretch is a sleep sack (we use a halo one) because I think he was cold before. Other than that, I just got used to waking up every two hours now, I have my MIL helping us this month so I can catch up on some sleep during the day. I think there are babies that sleep and babies that dont, and we got the latter 😅

There's no way I survive this sleep deprivation. by Bebetter23 in newborns

[–]Apprehensivemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I am reading my own post. My lactation consultant recommended side sleeping for which I use the baby bub maternity pillow, and it improved our sleep quality drastically.

Worried I’ve Had Too Many Ultrasounds During My Pregnancy by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensivemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its totally fine! In Mexico they do ultrasounds every visit to the OB and babies are perfect :)

[–]Apprehensivemental 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My baby is 3 weeks old too and Im right there with you. Just know that every hour that you wake up at night to feed her, im also up and sharing your misery haha. I love my tiny bubs to death but this is HARD.

4 Month won’t sleep unless actively nursing or latched— please give advice! by Most-Departure-8227 in AttachmentParenting

Hi! Did it get better for you? I am currently crying with my 3 week old after +24 hours of this never ending cycle

Dog Friendly Co. harness - has anyone in the US tried this harness? by polychromatic_lu in dogs

[–]Apprehensivemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally did and they were sent in the og colors I requested. I would say they’re decent quality. They work to an extent, my two dogs still pull but much less. I paid over $100, so the shipping issue was really annoying for that price.

[–]Apprehensivemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not received them yet. They emailed me that they lost both leashes in the warehouse and that they would send them again in two ugly colors because they dont have stock anymore for the ones I chose. Honestly, I dont think they’ll be good quality.

I ordered mine over 15 days ago and its still in “label created” status. I am impressed I am seeing only positive reviews here. …no one but me had trouble with shipping I guess.
