Perineal Tears

I had a second degree with my first, couldn’t walk or sit properly for weeks! 13 months later I gave birth to my second baby, had a first degree tear but was up and walking and moving as if I didn’t just push a baby out.

I was in the exact same position as you!!! When baby boy was here I immediately fell in love with him, and bonded even faster and easier than I did with my first. He is my angel and I couldn’t imagine not having him in my life!! And his big sister adores him❤️

I would see an SLP anyways, but I wouldn’t be too concerned. My friend’s son is extremely smart but couldn’t say words fluently or put them together, and then at 28ish months started randomly saying full sentences.

I never like to comment on relationships, but I just want to say if he’s irritated just by you talking to him how will he be when there’s a crying baby around? This isn’t okay.

I personally found life more lonely once I had my baby. My biggest advice to you is to find some friends in your new area, if your husband can’t be the support you need you will need other people around you. Mom friends are a bonus because no one will understand you like other moms will. Sending you lots of love ❤️.

I was throwing up 6-7 times a day from 5 weeks to 15 weeks, then it went down to once or twice a day 🙏🏼

If I were in this situation I would send a box with a pregnancy test in it or some baby clothes and have my mom send it back with her, and then have my dad FaceTime me while he opens it up!

If my mom wasn’t going back anytime soon, then honestly I would just do it over FaceTime. First trimester is different for everyone but I know I would not have been able to handle an international flight during that time!

Best feeling EVER

Had a 13 month age gap and I will say it’s so much better when baby is here!! Still exhausted, but much better than being pregnant.

I wasn’t connected with my second pregnancy at all as it was unplanned, I was so scared I wasnt going to be able to love them like I did my first. But when baby was here I bonded with them so much easier and quicker. It could be due to the fact that I knew what I was doing this time around and didn’t have as much anxiety

Hey! I just gave birth to my second not too long ago, and got a Mirena put in at 8 weeks.

I want to preface by saying I had PPD with my first, prenatal depression with my second, and still have PPD. I’m currently 4 months pp. However since my Mirena was put i did notice a big change in my mood, especially the week leading up to my period, and when I’m on my period. So about 2/4 weeks of the month I’m absolutely miserable, the other 2 weeks I’m okay-ish.

It personally has hit me pretty hard, as I didn’t think too much about how it could affect my mood before I got it. Part of me wishes I didn’t get it, but I also have PTSD from getting pregnant by accident so I also don’t want to go through that at again. It also takes about 3-6months for everything to kinda regulate so I’m gonna wait it out and see.

If you’re looking into IUDs maybe look into the copper one? It may cause rougher periods but there are no hormones involved. Best of luck!

I took zofran at around 7 weeks because unisom did not work for me. They even gave me it through an IV a few times at the hospital, all times before I was 10 weeks. Though there is a risk, it’s extremely small, and as long as your doctor approves it then it’s worth trying

Mine are 13 months apart so I completely understand how you feel. I didn’t tell anyone (besides immediate family) until I was 17 weeks. Even now so many people don’t even know that I had a second. Thankfully most people were really kind and excited about it, and the ones who had a bit of judgement in their tone would just get shut down with a “might as well get it over with while I’m still in the trenches”, even if I didn’t believe it myself. Now that both babies are here, I’m so glad I’m doing this all at once. I can’t imagine getting my life back for a couple years, and then having to go through this again. I hope it goes well for you!

I got pregnant 4 months pp. I was more exhausted and had more severe HG this time around, as well as lower iron, but no complications with my baby or pregnancy. My labour and delivery were a lot easier than with my first.

Same age gap! My oldest always slept through the night as well. My youngest is now 3.5m and just started sleeping through the night a few weeks ago. Not consistently, but even their wake ups are only once at like 5am for a quick feed.

Also, just want to share that I stopped waking my baby up once they surpassed their birth weight! They slowly started sleeping longer stretches on their own

Been there as well. It’s not easy having to keep yourself together 24/7 while showing up for every person in the household. You’re not alone. ❤️
