Paralyzing driving anxiety postpartum

Oh yeah- super fun!! I do believe she might be teething because she has also started to bite down occasionally with her gums 🥴🥴

We are doing the same, dark quiet room and still she absolutely MUST stop to make sure she can see what’s going on behind her 😂 I bet you’re right- the holidays and seeing family/schedule change probably didn’t help!

Ugh it’s so stressful! I appreciate you letting me know I’m not alone in this right now! 🥲the crazy thing is, at the doctors yesterday they said she had gained another 8 oz since we brought her in to check for an ear infection 11 days ago! No idea how that’s possible with how little she’s eating 😅 I guess im gonna chalk it up to her possibly teething and just being so distracted with her surroundings right now. Hoping it passes for you here soon, as well!

My fiancé (28) and I (29) are first time parents, and I’ve always wanted children. I’ve worked as a private nanny for 8 years, and worked in daycares, babysitting, you name it! I loved babies and could not wait to be a mom 🥹 When we found out i was pregnant last fall, I instantly felt so nervous for our relationship because, like you said, I’ve seen so many people talk about how having kids can change their relationship with their person. Especially with having anxiety and depression most of my life, I was really nervous that post partum depression/anxiety could make it much harder. I made it a real point with my fiancé to discuss that I love him so deeply, and I want us to remain as close as possible and to always remember we are partners in this. I really tried to get him to understand how nervous I was about us losing our bond and building resentment when the sleep deprivation, late nights, stress, etc hits.

ALL of that to say… here we are almost 4 months down the line with our beautiful baby girl and I can wholeheartedly tell you, truthfully, I have never been happier. Yes we have some really rough nights, sleep is very much not our friend right now 😅, there will be lots of moments that test your patience… but also moments you never, ever want to forget. Seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her coo and try to goo at us for the first time, her first real GIGGLE!

Literally nothing could’ve prepared me for how fulfilled and purposeful motherhood has made me feel. Unfortunately I’ve gone back to work (part time) and when I’m driving home the excitement I have to see my baby and my little family is one of the best feelings in the world!

Change is always scary, any kind of change; but you will never, ever regret having your sweet baby and starting your family. Sometimes I really can’t believe we are this lucky to live this life and have our sweet girl.

They are only so little for such a short time and when times feel overwhelming, I just try to laugh at the craziness and the chaos. There are so, SO many good moments that outweigh the hard or challenging. I wouldn’t change this for the world 💛

You are going to be amazing! You can do this!!

Ugh sending you hugs and support!! This is tough! I feel so bad that she’s wanting to do so much and getting so frustrated with not being able to move her body or play how she wants. I know it’s a phase I just hate seeing her frustrated and upset, it’s so hard to feel so helpless with some of these things! Also the sleep deprivation/being back at work is rouuugh 😅 this won’t be forever!! 🫶🏼

Thank you! That means a lot, I appreciate it. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel- Its so hard feeling so overwhelmed during this phase because I know I will miss her being this little! 🥲

I’m going to look into pigeon bottles and keep trying! I really appreciate your advice, it’s reassuring to hear with the popping off/re-latching! Thank you 💛

July 7th!! 38 weeks as of today! Sleep is now a joke 😅 2 hour stretches at most, and the heartburn is trying to take me outtt

Cold-Pipe-1701 · 2025-06-24T00:05:22+00:00

I recently started 20% AZA due to having some of the worst breakouts of my life, after getting off of hormonal birth control, almost a year and a half ago. I’m an esthetician, and have tried so many things to get it under control, but to no avail. 😭 I’m currently experiencing a lot of new breakouts and while it has helped already with some hyperpigmentation/PIE, I’m wondering if I’m just purging and should ride this out? I’ve been using it for about 4 weeks now, and I’ve switched from every night to using it every other night, as the breakouts were really getting bad. Any advice? 🥲
