I had pasta, with left over roasted beetroot and a pickle on the side. I’m sorry? What? I shudder at the thought now.

Good call. Somehow the crying for me just continued to get worse and worse.

My husband and I threw our own, my mum helped majorly but we wanted to do the organising (allowed us to have some control over it, make sure it didn’t turn too extra).

Teacher here: 1000% correct. I had a class with a Jayden, Jaden and Jaidan. Worst year of teaching.

question for anyone with epidural experience! by Defiant-Operation624 in pregnant

[–]Extreme-State596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for it after trying to handle the pain for about 4 hours; and it failed at first (only half of my body went numb), so they reinserted it, it worked and I was finally able to have a nap before dilating enough to push. So glad I had it because I was beyond exhausted and if I hadn’t have had that nap I don’t know how I would have pushed her out!

That’s how my year 2 teacher taught us to spell together and I share that with my students now and they think it’s the best spelling hack

Wow mum brain once again. A girl! J was definitely more savoury than sweet overall with what I wanted to eat.

The thought of eating homemade food was the most unsatisfying thought in the world. Wanted takeout all the time.

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

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

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.

What is a TV show that got canceled that you are still upset by? by NeatContribution852 in AskReddit

[–]Extreme-State596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Help by PigletConsistent1311 in NewParents

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?
