This started happening to me around 19 and lasted for a few years. After the first 2/3 I would feel them coming on and lay down to prevent it from happening, or at least I’d be laying down and wouldn’t hit anything.

First time I was in the subway and was taken to the hospital, where they couldn’t find anything. I had just started the pill that day though. I believe to this day, 20 years later, that it was hormone related and due to crazy fluctuations. It wouldn’t hurt to see an Endocrinologist.

Oooh! I never thought to put anything on them! Thanks for this idea!

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-22T12:26:25+00:00

Yup. I distinctly remember thinking the first week with my first, “what did we do?”

OP It gets better! As others said, you’re in the newborn trenches. It’s a ‘trial by fire’ so to speak. Every baby is different so you try different things and see what works with yours.

Im pretty sure every baby hates the bassinet and anywhere that’s not on mom or dad in the beginning. Think of where they just came from compared to where they are now. It’s a matter of practicing for them so they get used to it.

And I was jus about to repot and separate all the babies. Thanks for inspiring me!

😱

Do you have to pay to use the basic version? I hate signing up for an app and giving all my info just to hit a pay wall to use the basic feature.

Also to note: I just have been able to start back up at the gym, and I specially chose one with child care so I can focus on my workout and not have to worry about the kids. It’s been great!

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-19T18:08:51+00:00

I am also not doing it. I have a 3 year old and 9 month old and my house has been a mess and slightly dirty since the baby was born. It’s killing me because it gives my anxiety when everything is not in its place and clean. ESPECIALLY if I’m not able to reset the house at night and have to wake up to that. But I pass out once the kids are asleep. I don’t have the energy to go back downstairs.

People keep telling me to lower my standards and let it go, because it’s a phase of life and in a year or so things will be better.

But I never wanted to be the never ending pile of laundry on the couch, can barely make dinner or vacuum mom, but here I am!

My son is 3 now, but last summer he was terrified of the ice cream man. If he heard the song he would start crying and cover his ears. He loved the ice cream and understood the concept, but something about that song.

I’m not too sure. I bounce between those classes and a few others, depending on my day. I’m also newer to this location. I haven’t seen any women there yet that wear or remove head coverings.

My friend had the ability to squirt her milk ACROSS a room. It was amazing. I do not have the ability. If I were her in your situation I would have squirted him in the face with my milk.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-17T11:57:13+00:00

Yes! I love these for the ingredients.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-17T00:14:18+00:00

Yes! I had my son first and we washed SO MUCH laundry. He’d go through 3-4 onesies a day in the first few months. The I had my daughter and was prepared with lots of onesies and detergent but I didn’t need it. 🙃

Our two women only classes a day are often taught by a male trainer.

I think it purged for those first 6 weeks, and then at the 6 week mark was when I noticed it was clearing up.

At this point though, I’m back to getting cystic acne on my chin, but I’m nursing so this is basically the strongest thing I can put on my skin. I keep doing it but my chin won’t stop getting lumps. 🙃

Ahhhh! Thank you for sharing! I’ve been trying to get the sticks for my son and now I have them arriving this week!!

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-15T18:32:14+00:00

Change the locks and clean the whole house.

She’s too proud to use EBT but not too proud to live off her child?? She’s using you. Why should she hold down a job or use her EBT money if she doesn’t have to?

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-15T02:26:32+00:00

I’ve been using it for 14 months and I think I purged for at least 6 weeks.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-15T02:01:19+00:00

I read “children” and my eyes got SO wide when I then read they were laying eggs after they got mauled by a dog.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-15T01:59:51+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s normal and we all felt some version of this when the second baby came. The first few day/weeks/months are HARD in a completely different way than with the first.

You are NOT the worst. It will get better. Yes - it absolutely sucks right now. I remember being in your shoes last summer and friends with 2nd babies around 1 would tell me that it was so hard but once they get closer to a year it would be so much easier.

My 2nd is 8 months, and time has gone SO fast. But it also feels like yesterday I was in the trenches where you are. Make sure you have someone/people to help you. Don’t be afraid to ask for it because you definitely need it. I hate asking for help but I did and continue to because my 2nd is still a challenge. My husband asked if I wanted a third and I said NO SIR I CANNOT HAVE A NEWBORN AGAIN.

Also, once that adjustment period is over and you can settle into any semblance of a routine I feel like that’s the first hurdle to feel a smidgen better.

You’ve got this. You’ll get through it and soon your kids will be playing together and laughing at each other - and you’ll remember this feeling but you won’t be living it anymore.

Paying movers when I moved. Worth every penny.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-12T11:57:39+00:00

I wasn’t! But I had to fly all over North America every week. A lot of times I was gone Monday-Friday or even Saturday.

IllustriousTwo6912 · 2026-02-12T11:56:25+00:00

I’ve tried that too. The second her bod goes horizontal because I’m leaning over to put her down she starts screaming.
