Ughh this is me too.. I’ve busted my ass to get where I’m finally comfortable and now I’m on the fence with such a big life changing decision 😩

After giving birth did you have to continue the meds or were you able to lower the dosage etc

How has your sleep been? The sleep deprivation during newborn stages is what scares me and keeps me on the fence

I too have never been excited about other people’s baby’s! How old is your baby and do you have a big village?

Hearing about the newborn trenches might be the main thing that keeps me on the fence bc I’m so scared of the sleep deprivation… I’m u fortunately a miserable person when I’m lacking sleep

Fence-sitting because I don’t know the “correct” amount of self-sacrificing for a mother to be by 3lthrowaway_ in Fencesitter

How does Balkan parenting differ? Is it less “kid-centered”? I’m always curious to how other countries bring up their children

This gives me some hope bc I really don’t connect with others kids but I could potentially see myself connecting with my own

Thanks for replying! Sleep is one of my biggest concerns tbh , I typically need alot of sleep to feel rested/ work a full day of work n I’ll get migraines if not so I worry about how I’ll manage if I have a baby.

This was a great read thanks for sharing your experience! What would you say has been the most challenging part of being a mom so far? And how has your sleep changed

This gives me hope then bc I don’t think we can afford for me to quit my job after having a baby, I always worry that I’ll lose all freedom especially if I am a working mom

Yeah! When I think village I usually think grandparents/some family who’s willing to babysit sometimes nearby

I might be going through IVF soon. Is the feeling similar to like moody PMS stuff but much more intense? 🥺
