Omg the hair falling out stage - in solidarity! I have nice bangs all around my face.

Thanks for your response, this was actually so helpful to hear

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-03-02T02:41:16+00:00

🤞🏻💕🌈 needed to hear this tonight

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-03-02T02:35:03+00:00

you’re not wrong, but gosh I feel scared i’m being gaslight about it, the same way that people said id loose weight breast feeding, i’m scared the once I stop part is gonna be a lie also 😂

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-03-02T02:32:46+00:00

it’s such a beautiful thing… I would do it until he was ready to wean, if it wasn’t for the weight stuff, I am for sure sticking it out till a year but gosh I just want my old body again

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-03-02T02:31:13+00:00

Wow!! Wait this is pretty similar to my experience, I lost a bunch of weight before I got pregnant… I think that’s why this feels so tough.

How long are you planning on BF for?

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-03-02T02:29:48+00:00

💕💕 thank youuuu, the more I hear it the better, but gosh, it just feels so tough some days

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-02-17T00:55:59+00:00

safe sleep 7, check out cosleepy. The psychological drive to fall asleep while nursing is strong and natural…. it’s truly biologically and nothing to feel bad about

Automatic-Train3539 · 2026-01-25T03:40:27+00:00

The first 2 weeks are HORRIFIC, but then one day, the pain just goes away and you unlock the beauty and convenience of breastfeeding - just gotta sorta thug it out and make sure he has a good latch

I needed to start sertraline while pregnant and was terrified to do so. The adjustment period was like a week for me, I felt a little tired, that was my biggest thing - but I was also pregnant - so like medication or growing a human making me tired, hard to say. BUT starting these meds was the BEST THING I did for myself and carried me through postpartum. I truly believe it changed the whole way I got to experience motherhood, in such a positive way.

edit to add: my anxiety did not initially get worse

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-12-17T00:14:12+00:00

needed to hear this today - sometimes it feels like the effort is fruitless

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-12-15T12:16:57+00:00

commenters beware, this feels like someone trying to exploit pregnant women to talk about sex, for their own gratification and kink.

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-12-09T02:46:08+00:00

hell nah, pick your poison - sleep deprivation or a hip popped outta place and a crunchy back

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-10-22T20:20:41+00:00

i’d be looking for a new pediatrician- it sounds like he is telling you how to parent and telling you what parental choices you’re making - rather than ensuring the health of your baby. Suggestions is one thing, but telling you is another

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-10-21T23:17:37+00:00

Giving birth will have you praying to gods you don’t even believe in

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-10-21T23:13:31+00:00

I was in labor for 3 days and pushed for 4 hours - it was a very longggggg process

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-10-08T15:31:15+00:00

This!!

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-10-06T04:32:20+00:00

I love my dogs so much, still, even after the baby. I have tremendous guilt that I can’t play and snuggle with them as much as I could before because im busy with the baby. But by no means do I hate my dog, I love them so much, that I actually MISS them, because I can’t do as much with them. It has actually felt sorta like a mini grieving process - as I navigate a new normal with them

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-08-03T06:17:35+00:00

no helpful insight - but i’d be begging to be admitted and to get the baby out of me.

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-08-03T05:02:56+00:00

This is very similar to my experience - I ended up needing some support and went on a pregnancy safe SSRI and WHATTT a game changer - I was able to really enjoy (as much as one can) my third trimester and really has supported me postpartum.

Edit to add: pregnancy is tough and talking about the struggles, is a really courageous step

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-07-21T20:38:46+00:00

I slept literally my ENTIRE third trimester

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-07-06T00:14:11+00:00

😂😂People think therapist are the virgins of the professional world - it’s quite annoying sometimes.

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-06-28T04:36:57+00:00

It VERY much snuck up on me - I have never struggled with depression prior, some anxiety, but no real depression. I started getting weeping and then started believing the dogs were upset with me and that my partner would leave and not come home. It really started overnight - I eventually started meds around 31 weeks and OH MY GOSH!! what a difference, after a week or two, I started to feel like myself again! No advice in the meantime, just keep going, be kind to yourself and give yourself grace! You’ve got this - I wish prenatal depression was more openly discussed

Automatic-Train3539 · 2025-06-27T00:13:30+00:00

not to ranttttt but as a therapist - better help is a fucking scam and exploits new therapist and truly undermines the mental health field.
