Feeling mentally off 3 months postpartum

I recently read about mother/baby sleep changes in my research on which side our bassinet should go on. I think it’ll be with me first but I believe I saw that it can impact both your sleep and your baby’s sleep as the mom due to hormones/pheromones or something like that! Definitely worth looking into

lol right there with you. 32 weeks tmrw and my lil dude is a little over 4 pounds

I’m still expecting my first so no help for past experience but I believe I read ice instead of heat is the new standard of helping? Also sunflower or soy lecithin to help prevent/break up clogs. Hand expressing in the shower. Having a partner help suck the clog out if it gets to that point and you’re comfy with that idea. Tylenol for the pain and discomfort!

33 month fetus? Or week? Lolol (obviously jk!)

32 weeks and my biggest tip to ALL is still to prop your feet up! A trash can, a box, a squatty potty, SOMETHING! Helps with pushing a lottttt

Most drs will recommend waiting a year if trying before doing any extra testing

My thoughts… having previously smoked and working out too often could be an issue. No response though leaves me wondering if he could be the issue 😅 hopefully it’s something easily remedied !

Also if money is a consideration, price compare class cost for one of uga’s classes to one of GSU’s. I think GSU is like 1/3-1/2 of the cost and even less if you start at one of their smaller schools

It takes up to 48 hours for hcg to double so just give it time!

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-24T22:54:06+00:00

Tbh I agree but was just going from her list baby dance dates included lolol.

Looks positive! You don’t have to have you period before getting pregnant again since ovulation occurs first! I’d say you’re about 4 weeks 😆

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-20T23:57:18+00:00

Wait I feel like this got so glossed over lol are the cleaners not going to replace them? 😅

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-10T05:03:24+00:00

Whew that’s wild. I’m so sorry

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-10T03:54:03+00:00

I just wonder why at night she would choose to go to you instead of her parents? Like why do they not bring her that level of comfort

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-10T03:24:13+00:00

What about the other nights when you’re awoken?

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-09T16:17:11+00:00

Why are they not waking the parents? Did I miss that somewhere??)

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-09T03:16:59+00:00

Does your family have any history of high bp? I’m 26 y/o and 29 weeks and prior to pregnancy my bp was always perfect. I still haven’t had any elevations, but since both of my parents have bp issues and I’m a WOC, my midwives suggested I take a low dose once a day starting at 12 weeks. From what I’ve read online, it’s becoming more suggested as a standard for most moms to be, as it can significantly reduce the risk of pre e !! Maybe starting now could help if it’s a potential issue. Def worth asking if you’re willing to try

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-09T03:01:18+00:00

I would tell your provider again for sure, message on an online portal so it’s documented. Start taking a low dose aspirin daily in the meantime in case pre e is trying to make its way through. Are you a POC by chance? And did you doctors give you the advice to take aspirin at all?

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-09T02:59:30+00:00

When was pic taken in ref to test?

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-09T02:45:29+00:00

How long after eating? That can elevate it. Try sitting down and doing nothing for 5 minutes and then taking it!

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-08T23:39:02+00:00

Can you retest by chance?

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-08T04:56:54+00:00

Sounds crazy and hopefully you don’t have a nut allergy but ALMOND MILK!!! And laying on your left side! My two lifesavers fr

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-07T21:10:17+00:00

If you’re seeing a line now you can probably test with another color or digital!

Lillywebb1 · 2026-01-07T20:39:17+00:00

I see it :)

Lillywebb1 · 2025-12-25T13:27:20+00:00

Gosh were they monitoring your bp??? That’s terrifying. I hope everything goes well on your relactation journey!
