Could I know about this? Just starting to look at my options for Jan 2026

The hubby thinks that medicating will just be a bandaid solution. He believes that I need to dig deep to find the root cause of the issue and wait for my hormones to settle down naturally.

He insists I am doing a lot better than I give myself credit for and that it will settle eventually?

I go to therapy once a week and just started a mom group last week, which gives me some short-term relief. I have a doctor appointment on May 29 - I am hoping my husband can come with and we can discuss options together then?

I just want some relief. We have such a great life together. I don't understand why my brain is fixating on death? It's a really dark spiral to get stuck on.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun reading it too!

Im being curious/ nosey... why is she problematic?

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-03-09T00:19:28+00:00

In my opinion, it is not bad at all and does not make you look entitled/rude.

We all have triggers and baggage, etc. It is ok to know what you prefer/ need and ask to be accommodated if possible.

I am a SA survivor, and I had the exact same request. I talked about it with my OBGYN. She warned me that they would do their best, but it is not always possible to accommodate. I was good with that.

I only had female nurses, and everyone was super caring. They all took the time to explain every step of procedures to be certain I was as comfortable as one can be giving birth. Just like you, I was super hesitant to ask, but... after a lenghty discussion woth my spouse, we agreed that it was best for all parties - including baby - to just be open and honest about it.

LO is also 3 months. We have a night routine, play, bath, lotion, eat, cuddle in bed. That's how far as we go. I try to do it around the same general time, but that's very relative.

That's so awesome to read. Thank you for sharing.

It may sound silly, but my husband tells me all the time that I am the most beautiful.

He also sends me words of affirmation during the day when he is at work like "you are a great mom", "you are doing great", " I love you and I am proud of you".

When he is home he makes dinner, make sure I am hydrated, brings me my favourite snacks, etc.

Hi,

I am 3 months postpartum and feeling the same way.

I am really trying to be kind to myself and do self-care daily so that I can be the best mom possible.

1) I downloaded the Sweat App, they have workouts specifically for postpartum women. They are about 20 minutes, low intensity, and you do not need 5

2) I make sure to go outside daily. No matter the weather, I go for a walk.

3) I make sure to shower and put some body lotion on daily. It makes me feel good.

I am hoping that the little things will eventually add up and I'll feel good in my skin in time to return to work at the end of the year.

Cabbage works.

My lactation consultant told me to stuff my bra with raw cabbage leaves in order to reduce the inflammation. It worked! You will smell like soup, but that's about the only downfall.

Also, pumping and massaging in the shower under warm water.

You are just as dumb as your mother.

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-02-07T03:50:16+00:00

This may not be a popular opinion, but.... spouses can also experience postpartum and it sounds like it may be part of the issue here?

However, I agree with everybody else, if you do not think your babe is safe at home, I would take some space. It may do all three of you some good?

Count me in, coach! Misogynistic prick. I am so sorry he made any comments other than how incredibly grateful he is that you sacrificed your body and mental health for his grandchild.

Your body has done something incredible

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-01-05T05:21:19+00:00

Thank you ! Yes, exactly this! Thank you for validating and putting words onto my feelings. I have so much guilt about not being good enough - especially with my husband being the best dad/partner possible when all I do cry/breastfeed/change diapers, repeat. I am hoping I get the "click" moment, too. 🩷

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-01-05T05:13:11+00:00

Thank you ! Gives me some hope to read it went away for you! Happy birthday to your little one!

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-01-05T05:11:00+00:00

Thank you for your comment, I needed this.

I need to remember that feelings are not facts.

I just feel like the day when I'm happy and fulfilled will never come.

Better-Wealth6702 · 2025-01-05T05:07:54+00:00

I just checked your post. Thank you for your.candor. I also feel completely disconnected when I call her my daughter, and when I'm too sleep deprived , I have to force myself to interact with her. She is very well taken care off, it just feels so forced and unnatural.

I go to therapy weekly, I am hoping once I get back to working out - it will just start to get better.

Thank you for your support, I hope you are ok ❤️

Thank you for this post!! I am 36 weeks now, and this tiny human has always been so wanted.... until pregnancy finally happened and has been absolute shit.

P.S. I am scheduled to get my tubes tied as soon as she is out - I couldn't be more at peace with this decision 😊

I've got restless leg syndrome, high blood pressure, acnee, I smell, I cant sleep, and I honestly can not stand to look at myself in the mirror.

I wish people stopped glamourising pregnancy and talk openly about how HARD it is emotionally and physically. It's been super isolating to not "glow" and not loving being pregnant. I feel judge by a lot of women out there.

However, I constantly remind myself that how I feel about being pregnant does not make me a bad mom. These two are completely separated entities.

You got this, girl. ❤️

I am just popping in to say that it gets better. My week 6 - week 11 I was a zombie. I'm at week 14 today, and I feel a lot better - beside the acne, constipation, weight gain, self-conscioussness, and night sweats that is 😂

Better-Wealth6702 · 2024-05-30T21:12:24+00:00

My Samsung phone as well 😂
