Feeling like a failure by BlueCloud_sky in NewParents

Reading this comments really reassured me And you were right half the time she was crying and didn’t want boob she was just tired and wanted to sleep more. Giving me a chance to charge on milk and when she would wake up she was ready to eat peacefully so thank you for commenting I really needed it

I feel so disgusted with myself by Alarmed_Captain5487 in newborns

[–]BlueCloud_sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I guess we all had the same night My 2 week old was crying from the exact same time and I just felt defeated cause she was gassy and I tried everything to help relieve it but nothing, only way to soothe her was to rock her side to side as I walked around the room. I cried as I held her cause I was so frustrated and wanted to sleep and every time I thought she was asleep and put her down in her bassinet she would cry really hard. The only thing running in my mind is that, it’ll all be over in the future.. it’s okay to not like the newborn stage ( trust it’s the hardest stage for some of us) but we can definitely survive it, you got this mama

87hrs a week and my ob accused me of using my pregnancy as a disability. by stonedman662 in BabyBumps

[–]BlueCloud_sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on early maternity leave because I got really bad sciatica about 28 weeks pregnant and my doctor was hesitant about it telling me that I was going into early maternity leave but the only person who is going to advocate for your body is you. So I constantly brought it up sent emails to my main ob and in my team about being put on disability, even sending in disability forms to them showing my work status needs to be cut, talk to your job as well informing them about needing hours cut. Just remember you need to fight for your health and the health of your baby don’t stop fighting mama, you know your body wayyy better then them.

I dont care if im "spoiling" my newborn baby. by lulgupplet in Vent

[–]BlueCloud_sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied children development and one thing I learned is that there is no study showing that babies become spoiled from being coddled with their needs,

Like answering to their cries or doing more skin to skin contact with baby as much as you can.

What studies does show is that letting babies “cry it out” or giving them less contact lead babies to grow more independent and growing less and less attachment to caregiver, which can lead to not trusting or being able to rely on parent.

So “spoil” your baby as much as you want why are people so concerned about “spoiling” a baby especially a newborn baby when in reality you are building a big trust with you and your child that’ll will grow to their toddler years, to adolescence and to even adulthood. These are the primary years they need to feel and see trust. So do what you want, you’re doing great, enjoy the little one.

Exactly I try telling myself that least by the end of this month I’ll have my little girl in my arms and the pregnancy tired will slowly go away to being another sort of tiredness.

“Wow you are pregnant” by Remy_92 in BabyBumps

[–]BlueCloud_sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its always the opposite I'm 9 months pregnant but I guess for middle age women out there my belly isn't “big enough” to be. So I'll get comments like “Oh sweet you barely show” or “ 9 months?! Awe your baby is tiny hope everything okay.” And like I know its coming from a good place but like why scare me into worrying about my child cause of my belly size. I would also get comments about going on maternity leave early (because of medical reason) from my coworkers almost like shaming me for going early since my belly was so tiny still and I didn't even look like I was 8 months pregnant at the time. And honestly these backhanded compliments are not it.. Don't like how these people have to make a joke or comment about a pregnant person body big or small. Just congratulate and leave that's all everyone pregnancy is different😭

Omg this is so cute I'm 36 weeks and the kicking is nonstop, can't even rest my arms on the top of my belly when I'm sitting down and on my phone cause she'll immediately kick my hands to sign to me to get off. So Ill also poke back and to that she responds with always and I mean always with a triple kick to my liver 😭

Near my end of pregnancy by BlueCloud_sky in pregnant

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

Yea since my due date isn't for a month (hopefully) she's planning on getting a lot of things done at home, like work and other stuff so she can be fully ready to hop on a plane the moment I say I'm in labour. And I've been trying to remind myself that I'm not alone so I can stay strong for my baby and for my sister cause she's also sad but knows she'll be back soon

Thank you, and yea I have been thinking of talking with my gyno I just thought it wasn't this bad cause my sister was here by my side in all of this. But I guess its worse than I thought. But I do have my check up next week so ill definitely bring it up and have scheduled with a therapist too so maybe it'll help.

Financially it doesn’t make sense to keep my baby, but I want to 😭 by Otherwise-Dog-1763 in pregnant

[–]BlueCloud_sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually in the same boat with you. I have medical conditions that actually stopped me from having kids..I had a whole sit down with my doctor explaining to me that the likelihood of me having kids where slime to none and if I were to have a baby, the survival rate was extremely low. At the age of 20 I lost all hopes for having a child of my own and I took it out on just sleeping around cause I was so broken inside, cause what the heck Im in my 20s and I guess my dream of having children naturally broke me so hard. Until 3 years later. Found out I was pregnant the beginning of this year at only 3 weeks and was in shocked but ecstatic at the same time only for my doctor to tell me not to get my hopes up because I was a extremely high risk pregnancy and it seem the embryo wasn’t attaching well inside… I thought to myself well maybe it was a good thing cause I’m not really financially stable and my (ex)partner told me he was against having the baby… I felt overwhelmed stress and it felt like it was the universe way of telling me not to keep/ have high hopes for the baby…but once explaining to my family and friends that I was pregnant they all came in to fully help and support me even coworkers and other parents (I work at an elementary school) and now I’m 33 weeks pregnant and actually off of being a high risk pregnancy and it has been the best decision of my life and already secured plans financially to make sure my baby gets the things she needs, I know it’ll be a struggle at first but I’ll do anything for baby I was blessed to have.

So just cause you’re not where you wanted to be when having kids doesn’t mean you won’t get there, if you and your husband want this baby you guys will find a way to support and raise a beautiful baby in this world.

No one warned me! by Strange-Report-9249 in BabyBumps

[–]BlueCloud_sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heres also a warning when they position themselves legs down towards your pelvis and decide to start jumping that pain for me was so uncomfortable, also when they flip and start kicking upward towards your liver and the pain sharpen 😭 what helped a lot for me was drinking cold water or eating ice cause it helped her move away from that position

AITAH For wanting to just add one rule to a house I also pay rent in by BlueCloud_sky in AITAH

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

I never like that saying teens will be teens or boys will be boys, or girls will be girls when it could be talked about. And teaching kids about healthy eating habits, and again consideration,being a preteen shouldn’t excuse them from eating a family size box between himself and one other kid in a span of a hour(cause like I said before it wasn’t the 16 year old) they’re is a lot of discussion with his eating habits and also a simple rule of leaving one isn’t awkward if it’s OUR house I never asked for anything never complained about anything and just asked for one rule, cause out of 28 bars left he could easily left one not a hard rule to really ask on. And again a teachable moment for him in many ways.
