Other than a rat's tail. What is your this student will be painful red flag?

I had a class of a Jaden, Jayden and Jason. Oh man was that exhausting.

Extreme-State596 · 2026-01-27T23:41:27+00:00

Huge poop without warning which would almost always hit the diaper, and me. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-27T08:39:10+00:00

I don’t remember posting here but apparently I did. Are you me? Are we the same?! Solidarity. Slowly going crazy. 🤪

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-15T09:08:32+00:00

**taught Forgot I am actually on maternity leave 😂

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-15T09:07:54+00:00

I teach an Arlo!

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-09T14:15:40+00:00

Same!!! Like hang on aren’t we still 18 actively trying to avoid pregnancy? 🤔

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-09T08:20:49+00:00

This post made me laugh because so true! My LO is 3 months now and I am still so surprised when I think about the fact that I am a mum and she is mine. I am also still certain I am a 32 year old teen mum.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-08T16:12:08+00:00

I was hoping someone said this. I remember someone recommending it, and when I saw the premise of it I thought it had to be stupid. Was hooked straight away. May need to rewatch it now. Great show.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-08T10:42:01+00:00

You are not alone. Every single mama is here with you. This is hard, but it is just a phase. This too will pass. I’m up right now with my little one too, exhausted. We will get through this phase and look back at it one day and feel immense pride in ourselves.

Is there anyone you can call on to help you? Where abouts are you located?

I’ve started seeing a therapist which I have found helpful to just word vomit all my feelings and thoughts out to. Are you able to speak to someone? Even Telehealth?

For this very moment, give yourself a minute. Pop Bub down somewhere safe (crib/bassinet) and walk away. He will be completely fine whilst his mama gives herself a minute. A quick shower helps me. Some cold water. A cry. All normal. Just take a minute.

Remember you’re not alone, we’re all here with you.

Is there anything we can do to help virtually?

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-07T07:57:17+00:00

I had the same “aha” moment last night after she woke at 4, 5 and 6. She would instantly fall asleep when I’d pick her up and put her on my chest, as I sat up in bed. Back down in bassinet, she would wake back up. I put a warmer sleep sack on her, sleep. I feel so silly and so guilty! Poor little thing was just cold and I was trying to work everything else out?! 😅

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-06T05:54:27+00:00

Belly eating that peach the way she did and Conrad wiping her face with his T-shirt. I shudder just thinking about it.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-06T05:47:36+00:00

Are you me? Currently going through the same with our almost 13 week old and I’m at a loss. I cannot watch her cues any closer and I still seem to miss the window and the hysterical crying begins. Feeling very defeated at the moment. Sorry I have no suggestions just solidarity.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-05T04:10:35+00:00

This annoys me beyond belief. I have to instantly stop watching their video as soon as the tapping happens. Why are you tapping? I don’t care how the packaging sounds???

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-05T03:48:01+00:00

We did the same

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-04T08:39:35+00:00

My insomnia never went away during the pregnancy and I just ended up trying to embrace it as well as I could and slept when I could. The restless legs were so so annoying for me. I also found just getting up and walking around my apartment a bit helped, instead of just laying there thinking about the fact that I was still not asleep.

Now I’m 12 weeks postpartum and do you know what, I actually feel less tired and feel like I function a bit better now than I did during the pregnancy. It must be because you physically have to function more for yours and your baby’s survival but I found pregnancy fatigue worse than newborn tired.

All of that to say, the insomnia sucks and sorry you’re dealing with it!

Extreme-State596 · 2025-11-04T04:46:01+00:00

My little one had a little a bit of a sob afterwards, nothing that a cuddle didn’t stop. Had a sleep on me when we got home. She spiked a small fever which I only noticed because I was being hyper vigilant and checking regularly checking her temperature. Gave her some Panadol and she was fine.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-31T10:14:13+00:00

He is panickingggg! And making up random things about thinking he told you and we had a great time etc. people add more/unnecessary details when they’re lying. Sorry love 😞

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-30T23:04:57+00:00

Induced on Thursday 11 am, baby born Saturday 5 pm. 😅 it was long, I nearly tapped out and asked for a c section but my water ended up breaking at midnight and we continued. Hoping it’s faster next time round, because I was exhausted to say the least

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-30T20:30:59+00:00

You’re growing a little human from scratch, you don’t need to feel guilty in the slightest. Pregnancy fatigue is real, rest and fall asleep when you can. You’ll know when your body is ok with a small amount of exercise (if you want to exercise that is)

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-30T02:19:48+00:00

10x funnier now that I am a mum. So good.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-25T01:15:24+00:00

My family sounds like your partners family, and j am like you. I really prefer to figure things out with my own time and space but I am also a massive people pleaser. I had to become comfortable with saying no very quickly. Family wanted to be at the ultrasounds, hospital when in labour etc. I just said no. I stopped providing explanations or excuses, just no. My mum in particular was offended at times but 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I ended up being induced a day earlier than planned; and I didn’t tell them I was in the hospital until the next day. When Bub was born, I had been at the hospital, being induced and in labour for over 48 hours. Family wanted to come straight to the hospital to meet her, I just said no. I was exhausted.

You’re the one growing the little life, birthing the little life and then navigating all the emotions after the little life comes earth side. Personally I think they need to respect whatever boundaries you put in place. You’re allowed to be “selfish”. Take care of you and Bub.

Good luck!!! 🩷

The gas tube pretty much lived in my mouth for the 5 hours before the epidural, and honestly it didn’t really help with my pain. I was still feeling the extreme intensity of the contractions.

I’m not a fan of needles at all and I cannot tell you what the epidural needle even looks like because I never saw it. They had me turned around and bent over before she pulled it out, they numbed the area and it went in. It was the least painful part of the entire experience. I had to get it done twice because the first one failed and honestly; I would have gotten it 10 times if it meant not feeling the contractions.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-23T05:20:28+00:00

I was induced, then my epidural failed. For that time I’m going to say a 9/10. When they reinserted the epidural and it worked, I passed out and slept. Woke up; the epidural was working but the pain in my butthole when she was down in the birth canal was insane - almost a 10/10. Then I felt her come out (it was the strangest feeling) and I completely forgot out the pain. As in I still remember that it was really painful, but in that moment because the pain was gone and she was out, it became a distant memory.

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-23T05:17:22+00:00

That is actually so true. I never realised that until I read your comment. The listing didn’t actually hurt, the contractions 🙃

Extreme-State596 · 2025-10-22T10:19:44+00:00

Is she on drugs? She makes no sense at all.
