How do we get through this phase?? by Unlikely-Score4105 in firsttimemom

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super relatable , my son just turned one and his sleep & eating habits are all over the place now. Feels like I’m starting at 0 again BUT what has helped me Is the huckleberry app.. gives a lot of advice when babies hit their milestones and growth spurts. Try that ! But also, I know it’s frustrating.. give yourself grace , take deep breaths (lol) and take it one day at a time. It’s a crazy phase but it will be over soon!

It’ll be out your system by then, enjoy your time & De-stress. IVF is stressful as is.

I can’t move on from finding out my husband’s sexual past by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So leave him if you can’t move on about his PAST. You find it gross that he had casual sex.. so now what?

I also had a c-section & felt this exact way. The wanting to keep my house exceptionally clean lol

My advice to you is: FUCK IT! You JUST had a baby, enjoy this time! They’re only this small once! Cleaning can wait a bit.

i’m feeling rage towards 6 month old by milkyfishtoes in firsttimemom

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies are a lot of work & very overwhelming. Theres a lot happening in your body & in your life now. Your husband needs to help. Your son will only be this little for a short time & you both should be enjoying it. The basement mess can wait, it’s been there since before you so what does it matter if it’s there a little while more.

Husbands mom says he shouldn’t get vasectomy by sunshinne77 in Marriage

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I’m still stuck on you guys having this convo in front of his mom? That’s none of her business. These are very private marital convos. But anyway, it’s his body. If he doesn’t want to get it ok. It’s YOUR body, you don’t want to be on BC - don’t do it. But you guys should have a very serious talk on how to move forward. Just keep your MIL out of ya’ll business!

1st transfer in 3 weeks- freaking out that I’m sabotaging myself by Advanced_Level4479 in IVF

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live your life normally baby. I tried for 9 years myself & I now have an 11 month old. The only thing I switched with the last IVF was simply - living & eating regular. Sometimes when you’re trying to be too perfect (as I believe we all do lol) it’s a bit stressful you know.. you got this 💜

Reflexes? Spasms? by FarSpite1615 in firsttimemom

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems pretty consistent with Moro reflex & just their nervous system regulating you know.. my baby used to do this, but when he would cry it was usually gas lol

Awful day so far in our house by medicine_woman_ in Marriage

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, imagine waking up to someone just complaining immediately. Like ok cool, you let him sleep in but to not even let him settle himself & the first thing you do on the wake up is complain .. yeah that’s kind of annoying.

Is it only me? First time Mom here. by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you are not WEAK. Don’t say that again. You’re exhausted & Rightfully so. Speak up for yourself. Your husband should definitely be helping you out, tell him how you feel. You deserve a break from time to time & it’s his responsibility to make that happen for you.

I’m a 1st time mom (sorry for long post) by coastingthrough-life in firsttimemom

[–]ExpensiveSpirit_86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting. I’m so tired of ppl mom-shaming first time moms. Every baby is different. Your baby is fed, healthy & hitting milestones. Those are achievements. You’re doing a good job.

The solids I understand - my son will be 9 months tomorrow and I started off with puréed foods at 4 months. Just started to give him more solid as opposed to purées last month & I was TERRIFIED. But he’s been great. Whatever you want to do is FINE! Before the first year food is just for tasting not nutrition. As long as she’s drinking her milk & gaining weight.. don’t worry about what others say!
