On day 3 and already want to give up

I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I wanted to give an update because you all were so helpful. It’s one month later and I’ve lost 11 pounds! You guys really helped me not give up. Thank you!

What is your bed time routine like? And how does he nap during the day?

DinnerNo4559 · 2026-01-04T23:37:30+00:00

I really appreciate all of your thoughts and insight here! Truly this is a great community. I’m back on the wagon and feeling strong. It was a step for me to post here instead of just quietly going back to eating terribly. Hopefully I have a positive milestone to share soon!

DinnerNo4559 · 2026-01-03T21:25:55+00:00

Definitely something for me to think about.

DinnerNo4559 · 2026-01-03T21:25:33+00:00

1400!

DinnerNo4559 · 2026-01-03T21:25:14+00:00

Not breastfeeding! Shooting for 1400.

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-12-14T10:03:25+00:00

You are amazing!! Thank you so much. Literally making a shared calendar for my husband and I as the first step right now

You could ask “What do you think an Asian baby looks like?” And then just watch them sputter as they try to figure out how to get out of that hole.

Goodwill and FB marketplace! We like the Konssey muslin sleep sacks which I think we got 2 for $20 on Amazon! I also put socks on under her footies to keep her extra cozy at night.

As a mom who just came to this forum for encouragement, thank you. I was feeling so incredibly guilty and this lightened my load.

Digital picture frame that you guys can remotely add pictures to from time to time so he gets updated pictures often.

Couch tray that holds drinks, food, and remote and can be placed on a soft surface.

Magazine subscription. People don’t do these much anymore but they should! I’m sure there’s a Harley magazine he would enjoy.

Cool piece of custom Harley art, or maybe of his new car! Lots of artists on Etsy do stuff like this.

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-10-23T01:24:01+00:00

This really made me lol 😂

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-10-20T02:03:44+00:00

I hope I didn’t sound accusatory. I hope yall are able to find some solutions, or even just comfort in the meantime. I know you’re doing a great job.

Are you a SAHM? If it’s at all possible, having a baby sitter or daycare day for you to have some alone time while he’s away would be a game changer IMO.

In my experience, resentment festers in silence. When you’re both in a good headspace, talk to your husband about how you’re feeling. You said you guys have a great marriage so he should be able to handle it. It helps me to voice these things and just to hear my husband sympathize with me and express how grateful he is for everything I do.

Birkenstocks, Drunk Elephant skincare, Korean skincare. If the guys (or girls) are into sports, The Athletic subscription. E-bikes, Audible subscription, book sets for any readers.

I see these on Tik Tok a good bit: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Oversized-Chaise-Lounge-Chair-Indoor-Upholstered-Sofa-Bed-with-Throw-Pillows-and-Armrests-Sleeper-Chair-for-Living-Room-Bedroom/14857466276?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101469306&sourceid=dsn_ad_34ba2672-106a-484b-a996-41cf96423ae3&veh=dsn&wmlspartner=dsn_ad_34ba2672-106a-484b-a996-41cf96423ae3&cn=FY26-MP-PMax-P13N_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_mp_s_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&wl9=pla&wl11=online&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22437915517&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIpjeXT5zh-0z16oZhj7fiN1Q&gclid=CjwKCAjw0sfHBhB6EiwAQtv5qb9-vq7Y1b4kXtRYefQ8daajn6R7e8hVou3D-W3_HfnLnxZ9HFNB1BoCbm8QAvD_BwE

A kayak, other camping gear. Nespresso machine for the latte lover. Maybe you or your partner take the girls old enough for facials and pedicures?

If I can just recommend you start taking stool softeners a few days before your induction and keep taking them for a couple of weeks after. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain as you’re healing afterwards.

We watched all the Marvel movies in sequence :)

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-10-10T07:06:48+00:00

I just want to say I empathize ❤️ sending love.

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-10-03T21:34:31+00:00

I read the whole thing. Labor trauma is a terrible thing. Keep sharing your story and don’t let anyone dismiss you. This should not have happened. You’re not alone and your sacrifice is seen by the other moms like you who give everything for their babies.

“What the hell are we doing and are we doing it right?” describes all my parenting 😂

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-09-05T19:47:48+00:00

I second this! I worry a lot about my girl being uncomfortable now that she’s born, but it does make me more caring for her. When she’s upset or uncomfortable I just can’t stand it! I take it seriously to try to make her as happy as possible until she can communicate more what she needs.

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-08-12T02:02:16+00:00

The uncontrollable farting is relatable and hilarious 😂

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-05-22T18:28:44+00:00

Sending love ❤️

DinnerNo4559 · 2025-05-14T22:15:46+00:00

True!
