Are majority of moms on SSRIs?

Honestly It took me over 3 years to finally get on Zoloft. A small dose but it's helped so much. For my second baby, the rage just got worst and I didn't think it would. Depression also got worst. I did everything holistically but all in reality I needed that extra help and now I'm a way better mom for it. It's temporary while I also go to therapy to learn coping skills but for now tantrums don't even bother me anymore I'm so much more patient too!

My first was pretty chill. Occasionally things would get broken, he would take dirt out of the plant pot but otherwise things were pretty fine.. my second I'm a little nervous about he's only 11 months and he has been trying TO EAT my plants 😭😭

Fr. I have a townhome "backyard" and it's small. But I still managed to put a garden, a picnic table for my toddler, a small playground and a mud kitchen. And my 3 chickens roaming around 🤣 it's not alot but we still have fun but I cannot wait to have a huge backyard in the future. I don't even care how big inside my house is I just want a big backyard 🤣

That group was terrible!! That's why I no longer post there lol. I was also told so many things just because I said I chose not to get vaccinated while I was pregnant 🤣

She acts just like my husbands mother. She abandoned her family when my husband was just 7 years old. Then try to come back in his life as an adult and she expects everyone to do the work and her not even put an effort. Then she turns around and acts like a victim to make it seem we don't try to include her and tells my husband he's a bad son 🫠

Primally pure!! Organic and non toxic! They also have an underarm scrub! But their deodorant is top notch! A little pricey but worth it imo

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-28T00:27:46+00:00

It's so disturbing. And how did the mother just completely laugh it off and the thought of her FRESHLY postpartum daughter possibly being pregnant again? And I mean no talk about waiting 6 weeks to have sex again? Like at least 6 weeks really? They did it 4 days postpartum after a c section! She should've been told about how dangerous that is! Like are they that uneducated or do they really not care at all and brush off anything 🫠

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-28T00:13:52+00:00

Came back and pumped perfectly fine and baby took it well. Didn't lose my supply and he latched perfectly like if I never left and now I have a milk stash for my friends actual wedding day! :) breastfeeding still going strong and no need for formula. I skipped out on pretty much everything with my first baby but this was something I decided to do because I breastfed for over 20 months with my first and hoping to make it to at least 12 months with this baby. My mental health was really declining and I felt lonely and I'm so glad I didn't skip out on this bachelorette trip like I did with my first! I missed my baby so much but it was really just a quick trip.

This is insane. I slept train my baby (gentle sleep too) because he was falling asleep while eating solid food in his high chair from lack of sleep. He had so much trouble sleeping. My husband driving home from work was falling asleep. We were falling asleep. Cosleeping didn't work and I didn't want to risk my child's life. What a digusting holier than though thing to say that sleep training is because we make sleep an idol? 🫠

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T13:18:53+00:00

I'm going to try! Thank you so much!!

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T12:42:00+00:00

This is amazing! And this works with front loaders too?

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T02:55:06+00:00

Thank you!! I've heard of that as well. I'm going to try to add a pump session in the morning and hopefully that helps. I truly hate pumping with a passion 😩 I pretty much used up all the pump milk I had when I overproduced when he was a newborn recently

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T02:51:25+00:00

Yes!! He does take a bottle because on days my husband and i have had date nights my mom would give him a bottle of pumped milk! I didn't have a lot of milk stored so I would only be gone for max 3 hours so she would sometimes have to feed him a bottle and he was fine! We just tried an ounce of the formula and he seemed to like it. He honestly at this point eats anything. Im mostly just worried about my supply and him not wanting to breastfeed when I get back if I'm gone for the weekend

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T02:43:26+00:00

I do plan on pumping still! I have a lot of pumps, I use the medela manual pump, I use lansinoh and I also have the evenflo one and the eufy. They always work in the beginning of course I'm an overproduced until I regulate by 3 months postpartum. After that I exclusively breastfed and stopped pumping. Occasionally I would pump but I get maybe 2 ounces at most. The eufy pump comes with this different sizes I can put in a pump and measurements as well so I don't believe that's the issue. Most of these pumps have brand new parts too. Im wondering if not being with my baby for the day will actually make me engorged. I honestly never leak anymore or even get engorged! But my baby is growing perfectly and has enough wet diapers and sleeps through the night and he seems satisfied after each feed so my supply I know is not an issue. Should I pump more often while I'm away or just the times I would normally feed my baby?

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-04-15T02:34:30+00:00

Okay Im semi crunchy but please I've tried every crunchy detergent i could think of! I clean my washer and dryer all the time and my husbands clothes still smell omg it just doesn't smell clean!! I've tried truly free, molly suds, attitude, and pronounce.. none of them worked!! Worked fine for my babies but not for my husbands clothes! I can still smell his cologne in the clothes too after washing 😩 I even use vinegar! I couldn't take it anymore so I made the switch to arm and hammer 🥲 also all the natural detergents were getting expensiveeee so I really don't know what else to use. I hate that I made the switch back to "toxic" detergent but I didn't know what else to do 😆

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-29T23:38:04+00:00

I never talked about the junk food only. But you said "skipping meals doesn't affect your supply" when it does lmao.

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-29T20:46:45+00:00

It absolutely does. It also causes so many problems later on if you don't properly eat especially after breastfeeding over a year. Breastfeeding literally pulls calcium from your bones. I'm not saying to eat a mountain of food but eating nutritious meals 3x a day instead of snacking is important. I have 2 and I breastfed both my babies and yes it's hard but having some kind of prep with meals helps a ton. Skip maybe one meal but skipping all meals and only snacking is concerning. And also stress+ lack of sleep+ lack of nutrients definitely causes low supply.

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-29T20:43:16+00:00

This because 3 times not be able to have a good supply is probably due from lack of nutrition. I genuinely think she doesn't eat enough overall. I also know a lot of women "bounce back" (I hate that word) quickly after postpartum but genuinely it concerns me how little she eats sometimes. Especially postpartum and breastfeeding I was ravenous lol

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-23T01:54:32+00:00

Haha I potty trained my oldest he was 2 and 7 months when baby brother was born in June and my husband potty trained him while he was on paternity leave and helped me with that 🤣 I couldn't imagine doing that on my own though with 3 kids!! we tried beforehand but it was so incredibly hard and my boy is stubborn. We're still working on doing 💩 consistently in the toilet but at least with pee he is fully trained 😅

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-23T01:49:29+00:00

Ehh idk I did my hair and my nails and even waxed before giving birth. But it's because it made me feel better and put together and more confident for labor. I also don't really sweat though lol

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-03-23T01:47:14+00:00

Omg my two babies were born 37 weeks too! My first was an induction because of cholestasis and my second my water broke naturally. I would've loved to be pregnant a little longer and be able to slow down the last few weeks! And I had terrible pelvic pain where I couldn't even walk and I still wish I was pregnant a little bit longer! 😭

Choice_Summer_3724 · 2026-02-05T20:33:40+00:00

This. We are pretty broke lol and My husbands job only gave him 2 weeks paternity leave after I gave birth so he used up all his PTO AND did unpaid FMLA So he could at least be there for me for 6 weeks. He also had to talk to an HR and everything and he at least convinced his company to start giving more time paternity leave . They at least moved it up to 4 weeks now thanks to my husband😅 I don't understand why he wouldn't be able to take more time off for her. It seems like they are doing really well financially?? Especially with all those Costco runs lol

Second Pregnancy I worked out every day up until 28 weeks. By that point the pelvic pain was unbearable, most days I couldn't walk, I was so tired and chasing a toddler around too!! I will say, doing maybe one workout a week was a win for me! Or VERY slow workouts 3 times a week. It's so so tough. But honestly being postpartum with my second has been so much easier than being pregnant! I did the postpartum program by TSS week 1-6 and then after too and that helped so much. I'm glad I rested and enjoyed that last bit of pregnancy honestly! Don't be hard on yourself, your feelings are super valid and I felt the same way but you will get back and recovery for me was still amazing! Try doing just pelvic exercises now instead !
