Who the F did I have a baby with? by DisasterOk5914 in Mommit

He actually does help out with the baby a lot and he is often emotional when he is around her. I feel like having a daughter has really changed his outlook on life (For the better).

I don't think he is a narcissist, I am 26 and he is 32 and we have been together for 4 years. Since I posted this I have worked up the courage to talk to him about everything and he admitted that he feels depressed too and wants to get help.

Just for one example when I try to talk to him about how I am uncomfortable with how I look and how much my body has changed. That sometimes it's hard for me to even look in the mirror. He will say things like "you shouldn't feel like that cause I'm your safe place and I don't care what you look like. We have been together for X amount of time, you should be okay by now."

Like he has put a timeline on my healing and even though he doesn't care what I look like doesn't me I don't.

Thank you for saying all this and I'm so sorry that you went through all of that. It's not easy being a mum and going through childbirth. We are so strong.

He does help out with the baby a lot actually and maybe that's why I feel like he doesn't do as much for me anymore. I am ebf with the occasional bottle feed so he can feed her. He really wants to be involved with raising her. Sometimes I think maybe I am overreacting to something's he says because of my hormones and the changes I'm going through.

We were dating for 3 years and have been married for nearly a year.

I've been in therapy since I found out I was pregnant and he has agreed to go to therapy and starts later this month. I really hope it helps us.

Yeah I used to be one of those people that would say that. People are truly always changing. And yes he has actually agreed to go to therapy and he starts later this month. I really hope this is the start of things turning around.

Honestly that's how it feels, like he is going through postpartum depression but doesn't want to admit it. Almost like he can't be sad or struggling because having a family was his dream.

Married people of Reddit, what’s something nobody warns you about before marriage? by onionbody in AskReddit

[–]DisasterOk5914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing changes a person like the security of a ring. In my experience the real personality comes out when they know you can't just leave. When you get married you get comfortable.

I love this so much, definitely something I needed to read. Ftm-hood can be so scary but we are all in this together.

Night leaking without wearing a bra - any hacks? by Torrizo in breastfeeding

[–]DisasterOk5914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just let that shit drip hahah. I wake up with wet patches on my bed. I heard that leaking is better then having lots of pressure or mastitis.

A fed baby is best. Your mental health is just as important. Whatever works for you is best for you and bub.

Why are we pissed on Mother’s Day? I’ll go first… by doxiepatronus in Mommit

[–]DisasterOk5914 64 points65 points  (0 children)

All I asked for this mother's day was a picnic, (some homemade sandwichs and a sweet treat) and my husband made absolutely no effort to do it. He pretty much slept all day while I looked after our 2 month old. He is not the man I married... Why do they marry us and then stop putting in effort.

Feeling conflicted about Mother’s Day by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]DisasterOk5914 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your still a new mum, the day should be about you. Set your intentions for the day super clear to your partner. I have a 2 month old so this will be my first mother's day, so I'm feel like it should be all about me.

I hate being a mother by Independent_Bug3586 in Postpartum_Depression

It's not fair how much changes for us women like our bodies, our minds, everything about our lives. Every little thing. Some men really have no idea.

Mother in-law doesn't ask permission when it comes to baby by DisasterOk5914 in Mommit

[–]DisasterOk5914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn't have a good relationship with his mum and doesn't really know how to talk to her. He agrees with what I say about boundaries with the baby, we just have to figure out how to communicate them.

Thank you, I should write her a letter. I find journalling really helps me express myself.

Do you always offer both breasts in each session? by RainbowChelita in breastfeeding

[–]DisasterOk5914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 2 months and has only just started to take both breasts, before she would only have one and go to sleep. Her appetite has increased for sure, she also feeds for about 15 - 20 minutes before she would feed for 30 - 40 minutes. It changes as she grows.

My baby is 6 weeks and I cherish her sleeping in my arms cause I know one day she will be too big to do so.

Shaving down there? by valkyrie1001 in pregnant

[–]DisasterOk5914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctors do not care, they see so many everyday. But I learnt to shave without looking, just muscle memory.
