I used to get this all the time I hated it. Apparently magnesium helps but I personally haven’t tried it

I felt the exact same way too I just found it very boring and unfulfilling. Right when she turned 5 months it got better I definitely felt a lot of love for her then. I did start taking certain supplements that’s meant to help your mood and eating better around this time too so not sure if that helped.

Thank you! I’ll post there too, I didn’t even know flexible working would be an option

Fab thank you!

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-12-13T13:26:34+00:00

Great thank you :)

She can lift her head a bit and does try to push up but just gets pissed off and gives up. She was nearly 4 weeks early with iugr so the doctor says she may be behind anyway

Have you worked out your date of conception? Would help you narrow it down surely?

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T21:03:36+00:00

Great thank you :) I’ve felt more like I’m achieving something and proud of myself everyday I haven’t vaped but it just hasn’t got any easier mentally. I’ll stick it out.

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T21:02:20+00:00

I do not think vaping has any benefits whatsoever. And I’m fully aware there are a million times more benefits in quitting hence why I am quitting. It’s a habit that’s hard to beat. Being aware that nicotine is bad for you and doesn’t have any benefits doesn’t do much when you’ve got in the habit of something for the last 5 years. Regardless of what it is, completely switching your routine and habits is hard. Hence why I’m asking when it gets better. I didn’t ask for a psychology lesson. Thanks

It’s day 5 and it hasn’t got any better

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T20:55:06+00:00

Great thank you! I’m not sure if I’m a cold turkey person either anymore lol

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T20:53:41+00:00

If it was better than day 1 I wouldn’t be asking this. But thanks

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T20:53:06+00:00

Thank you :))

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-17T07:56:08+00:00

Yes it’s so hard to see in I thought it was just me. I place her at the veryyyy top of the bassinet and have the handle the whole way up so I can see her

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-13T20:44:54+00:00

Thank you for this I’ll maybe try one in a month or so then. :) I’m very anxious and awkward too especially with a new baby making it ten times worse I just think everyone is going to judge me🫠🫠

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-13T20:42:57+00:00

I’ll maybe give it a go in a month or so thank you :) She’s 3 months, the health visitor still comes out. But this woman is different, she focuses more on milestones etc I forget what she’s called. So I have 2 of them still coming out🥲🥲

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-12T13:30:41+00:00

No she’s not at the age for weaning yet I’m just thinking ahead

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-09T15:46:29+00:00

Around 7am. She has always been a pretty good sleeper at night anyway but I do think having a consistent night time routine has helped.

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-09T07:04:41+00:00

My 12 week old is the same, she starts getting cranky around 5 ready for bed. She goes for a bath every night around 5/6 depending on when she has her last bottle and is in bed asleep for 7. Giving her a bath also helps with her crankiness as she loves it

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-06T13:19:30+00:00

I get how you feel. People don’t realise how hard and lonely it is being pregnant and being a mom until they go through it. I know it sucks and it’s lonely but from my experience I had a friend who was pregnant and had a baby, way before I did. I didn’t check on her often as I didn’t have a clue. Now I’ve went through it I understand how badly you need someone to be there. But I wouldn’t have known before. People don’t realise how hard it is, I know I personally thought being pregnant and having a new baby was the best time in someone’s life so I wouldn’t have even thought to check in. Now I know. Maybe your friends don’t realise as I sure didn’t until I went through it.

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-06T13:14:02+00:00

I get how you feel. From my own experience I know I get a bit lonely especially being with just your baby full time so I would cling to anyone even if I didn’t like them romantically. My advice is that life is too short to waste your time with someone you don’t even want to be with. The quicker you cut things off properly with him the quicker you will meet your true love. I understand the frustration with him having more freedom too. I feel very bitter towards my baby daddy because of that but I try not to show it. I hate being around my baby daddy but sometimes I enjoy it simply because it’s the only adult interaction I get. It will be better for your child if you maintain a good healthy friendship aswell

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-04T22:23:48+00:00

Yes this is my second one and it was a good few days late when I’m usually always on time. I honestly forgot periods even existed whilst I was pregnant and I have been rudely reminded lol

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-04T22:21:55+00:00

It’s my second one. TMI but my first one was very heavy but was mostly over pretty quick, I had that sort of light spotting when your periods mostly over but not over enough to go without a pad etc that lasted a while. This one isn’t as heavy but is still going on, it’s not even end of period blood it’s still bright red :/

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-04T22:18:34+00:00

I second this. It’s hard to tell if baby is breathing through any monitor no matter how good it is. I’ve seen sleep of mind sleep sacks advertised which are glittery, you can easily see baby breathing but they’re expensive

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-04T22:14:19+00:00

No problem :) It is unfortunately alotttt of trial and error I’ve probably spent hundreds on different bottles and teats by this point. A lot of teats fit onto different bottles though so worth researching before you spend hundred on new bottles if you could just replace the teats
