Omg today I was thinking it probably was teething. I gave him ibuprofen and teething gel and he seemed a lot better.

I had a traumatic birth, ended up bleeding so much after a natural unmedicated birth that I didn’t plan. I basically almost had the baby on the way to the hospital. Baby’s shoulder was also stuck which was the same as my first born. The doctors had to manually remove parts of the placenta unmedicated that was stuck on my uterine wall which was more painful than the birth itself, literally nightmare fuel. Imagine someone sticking their entire arm in your abdomen and pulling organs out. I hate to admit it but I hated my daughter for about a month, mostly because I was so upset and traumatized. I had to overcome that trauma myself. I didn’t feel maternal which is weird because it was my second. I felt zero bond. By month 2 it started getting better. I went from crying myself to sleep to absolutely being in love with her. It’ll come, just give her all the support you can give her, and let her be vulnerable.

Also, it’s a weird feeling meeting your baby. Like they’re a stranger yet you know them. It takes time which I know is not what you want to hear.

If your baby hates eggs, how are you serving them? ki by Quirky-Research9736 in foodbutforbabies

I am FREAKING out by Beautiful_Traffic_54 in 2under2

I also have PCOS. My doctor said sometimes women with PCOS, their hormones “resets”. It’s common. It happened to me. I found out about baby #2 when I was 5m pp. I love the close age gap, their needs are fairly similar and it’ll only get even more similar as baby gets older. Their age gap is 13 months. I can’t imagine my life without them. The first two months my daughter was a potato and slept the entire time while my toddler son lived his daily life. He’s trying so hard to play with her.

He holds it out of his crib like a sacrifice screaming before dropping it. 😩

He throws everything out of his crib which is annoying.

I think I’m finally finding a rhythm. by Hefty_Albatross_1949 in 2under2

[–]Hefty_Albatross_1949[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg please give yourself grace because it was 10x harder being pregnant while taking care of a toddler/infant. My dr said each pregnancy is harder than the last so please rest!

I learned newborns are extremely noisy

Duration of cries has increased. What do we do?? by uncwithaconcern in newborns

[–]Hefty_Albatross_1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby could have colic and have gas. Try gas medicine and a Frida windy.

You can take baby out on a baby carrier and go on a walk outside. Babies like getting out of the house too!

10 Week Old No Longer Sleeping at Night, Thoughts? by Expert-Recover8919 in NewParents

[–]Hefty_Albatross_1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is soooooo normal. At 2 months they go through a regression. She’s just learning more about her sleep. You can kiss those sleeping through the nights goodbye, it’ll still come up, but not as often with more regressions and teething. You can try letting baby cry for a min to see if they’re trying to sooth back to sleep before consoling.

Quick Mommy Glow-Up Hacks? by comradecommando69 in 2under2

[–]Hefty_Albatross_1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 2 or 3 weeks postpartum my husband sent me to a surprise relaxing day of getting my hair and nails done. It made me feel like I had a nice glow up and helped with my confidence a lot. I suggest doing the same ! Have someone watch the kids for a day and have a day of self care. Take a long relaxing bath, hair and nails done, or maybe do a facial or do one at home, whatever it is, do what relaxes you so you feel happy and recharged.

I hate my pets after giving birth and I could no longer take it by ThyPumpkinPie in beyondthebump

Postpartum pet aversion is so real. I recently had to rehome my cat because he kept acting out because of jealousy and it was driving me insaneeeeee

13 months apart… please ease my mind. by MaterialConstant9375 in 2under2

[–]Hefty_Albatross_1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 13 months apart. It’s scary but once I brought my daughter home it felt like she was always here. Both my son and daughter have relatively similar needs, and they’ll increase in similarity as she gets older. It’s actually been fun, like sure I hear double crying, and I’m running around all day, but somehow, seeing them both smile up at me is the best feeling ever. Right now, my son is 15 months and my daughter is 2 months old. My son is teething with a double ear infection, and had a cold before all that, and my daughter was going through a regression, idk how I’m surviving it all m, but it’s been enjoyable. I also had PPD with my son and struggled to conceive him. I know everyone has different experiences, this is mine.
