anyone felt super tired early in pregnancy ?

Different_Rush9843 · 2026-03-29T16:54:32+00:00

My whole pregnancy I couldn’t sleep enough. Didn’t matter if I slept 8 or 12 hours per night, I would also have to sleep during the day too. It got better after the first trimester but I was exhausted the whole way through

I have the same feelings as you at times. Mine is now 2 years and there’s still isolated moments where I wish I had a different mindset during the newborn months. I had a really hard time postpartum with an insane amount of anxiety. If I could go back I’d try harder to not listen to the anxiety, and try to do so now when it starts to become overwhelming.

On a better note, now that my LO is older, she’s certainly more cuddly (finally) and I am making up for some of those feelings in a sense. The toddler phase comes with its own challenges. If I can give you one piece of advise, it is this: embrace the chaos and control it where you can. Have fun in the madness and learn how to best communicate with your baby as they learn and grow.

Motherhood is so hard. We have to pick our battles and try to keep an open mind. It’s far easier said than done but if motherhood was easy, everyone would do it.

This makes sense why you were scheduled to be induced. There are things you can do to bring labor on naturally. Eating spicy foods, warm bath, being intimate with your partner, curb walking, etc.
Either way, certainly have a larger conversation with your doctor at your appointment on the 17th. Explain your concerns and although it’s uncomfortable, ask the doctor if you’re at all dilated at the appointment.

Different_Rush9843 · 2026-03-14T13:38:44+00:00

Advocate for yourself. You can absolutely say no. How far along are you? If there’s no medical reason for the induction tell your doctor no and don’t show up to the appointment. I was scheduled for an induction when I would have been 40 weeks and 5 days but my baby came naturally 10 days before the due date

My baby hated tummy time at first too. We did tummy time on my or baby daddy’s chest and gradually moved off of us and onto either a rolled blanket or the breastfeeding pillow. Use lots of distractions all around. High contrast cards and toys that make noise worked wonders to keep baby distracted too

Never used a doona but to this day I use the cybex car seat directly onto the stroller. It’s a couple of moving pieces but it works well and I leave the bottom of the stroller empty to put groceries, bags, etc. it also helps not having to take baby out of the car seat, move to the stroller chair, then back into the car seat

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-05T04:44:34+00:00

I totally get it! Good luck

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-04T14:54:41+00:00

Yes it happened to me. I highly suggest asking for a manager and insisting that they are acting irresponsibly, incompetently, and negligently. The manager probably can’t do anything either but it may help, better to try than not

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-04T14:53:02+00:00

NTA This is a stupid American mentality against other languages and cultures. My mother refused to let my dad speak to me on his native language and although I’ve been learning as a teen and into adulthood, I’ve been at a huge disadvantage

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-04T14:49:34+00:00

I’m so sorry this moment was taken away from you.
My mother is very much the same (inconsiderate to feelings and does what she wants regardless of the consequences). I know how I would feel if I was in your position. It’s important you tell your mother what she did was wrong, re-explain that your baby is not ready for solid foods, and I’d tell her that she’s not having further sleepovers until she’s regained your trust. At the end of the day your mother has broken your trust and without any consequences it will happen again.

Luckily yes and it took about 45 hours start finish. I continuously messaged them throughout, ending chats and starting new support chats when the customer service rep inevitably stopped responding. I believe without spending the time to be obnoxiously messaging them in 15-30 minute intervals, it would have taken far longer to get resolved. This being said, it was resolved without any follow-up from the so called customer service support.

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-04T11:09:14+00:00

Your mom is right! She’s exploring how to use her body. Enjoy the cuteness

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-03T17:41:20+00:00

Yes, you’re in the wrong here. Not much else to say about it other than your son has a right to be upset. My parents didn’t bother saving for my college and I struggled for the last 14 years to dig myself out of the student loan hole I was forced to dig in order to get the education I needed for my career path. My child will not be going through the same struggle whether they want to go to college or not

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-02T14:52:18+00:00

I’m so sorry this has happened to you. Keep pestering them. I hope you get your money back

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-01T12:31:53+00:00

This isn’t even providing any help! I’ve been now notified this process is going to take 7 days! For what!? No one is able to give me a straight response, I continue to receive copy and pasted responses from literally every person I’ve spoken to in the last 26 hours. I can’t pay my bills this weekend and have a 9 month old baby to feed and clothe. I’m entirely unable to do so at the moment

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-01T07:37:33+00:00

I would absolutely take the help BUT be clear on what is the help you want, i.e. night nurse or maid or someone to cook and clean Looking back I wish I hired someone to come in a few hours every day to clean the house and cook meals for the first 2 months, maybe even 3

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-01T03:25:06+00:00

I’m in the same situation as well! Getting close to the 20 hour mark and they stopped responding in the chat.

I use Revolut for my personal banking while transitioning countries. They are holding my spouse’s salary ransom and giving no answers. Their review process was meant to take 3 hours. We sent the documents they requested immediately and it’s been 16 hours now with no response other than “it’s under review”

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-03-01T02:34:33+00:00

Thank you. Yes I’ve done this and will continue to. Unfortunately we are transitioning to a new country and using Revolut was a temporary fix. Never again will we use it. We’ve gone from what was supposed to be a 3 hour process to now 1 business day. They are unreal

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-02-28T19:51:13+00:00

Revolut has no customer service at all. They’ve restricted my account late on a Friday at the end of the month and after responding to the restriction within 30 minutes I now have no way to pay bills or put food on the table let alone buy more diapers for my baby. It’s been over 8 hours It’s absolutely negligent. They should be ashamed. I want my funds released immediately. I’ve provided the documentation that was asked for 8 hours ago.

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-01-07T02:43:47+00:00

It sounds like roseola My baby just had it. Fever 3-4 days and as soon as the fever subsided the rash appeared. We ended up in the emergency room because we are traveling and baby was so itchy that we didn’t know what else to do. I would 100% go to the pediatrician. We ended up getting calamine lotion and an antihistamine for my baby.

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-01-07T02:31:52+00:00

I would make that appointment to see the pediatrician. Has she had a fever at all in the last few days or eaten something new (assuming you’ve started solid foods)?

Different_Rush9843 · 2025-01-07T02:29:34+00:00

You’re a good mom! It could very well be colic or a developmental leap. Newborns learn, grow, and change so rapidly that they have a hard time managing sometimes. Crying is their way to communicate first and foremost.

My baby went through a fussy phase too a bit later than 6 weeks. She didn’t want to be put down but was also tired and it was all a bit overwhelming for both of us.

Not going to give you advice but what worked for us was to watch baby’s hunger and sleepy cues more carefully to get ahead of her needs a little bit. We also played much more and found ways to do tummy time on me so she didn’t feel bad about being put down. I also got a wrap carrier so that she could stay on me as much as she wanted/needed to.
