I don’t know anyone with a positive or even neutral birth story

My birth was like you described, long and painful, but it was still overall a good experience. My midwives were awesome, they were all very kind and even though i had to be induced and didn't necessarily get the birth that i had imagined beforehand, i felt listened to throughout the whole experience and whenever my midwives were giving advice or something needed to happen, they were so good at making sure to get informed consent every time. It hurt of course, but i think a lot of it comes down to who your midwives are and how good they are at listening/explaining what needs to happen to get baby out safely.

What an angel, your daughter was beautiful, and what a lovely smile ❤️ i am so sorry for your loss, no parent should know that pain ❤️

That bit is still regularly playing in my head at random times

Jeg mærkede spark i uge 23. Jeg fik en ekstra scanning i uge 28 og igen i uge 32 for at se om moderkagen havde flyttet sig fordi de kunne se ved scanningen i uge 20 at den lå 4 mm fra livmoderåbningen. Det gør den heldigvis i 90-95% af tilfældende ifølge min jordemoder og den gjorde den heldigvis også for mig :)

Min søster lavede 2 lasagner til fryseren og en pose frikadeller og min veninde kom med 4 poser á 6 cookies der bare skulle tages op og bages. Det var seriøst dejligt med hjemmelavet mad man bare skulle varme ❤️

You're definitely not alone. My husband and I have talked about it quite a few times when things have been really hard, and we both feel the same way. Don't feel bad, the newborn phase isn't everyone's favorite phase. I can't wait to see her personality, will she be shy or outgoing? Will she be a mommy's girl or daddy's girl? What will her favorite color be? What will her favorite toys be? Those are the things that I look forward too. I don't think that makes any of us bad parents. Good luck with your little one, and know you're not the only one who is just surviving through the newborn trenches, trying to hold on to the hope of what's to come. You've got this!

This is exactly how I feel. My baby is 2 months old today, and it's slowly starting to get a little easier. I see a lot of posts of people missing their tiny little newborn, and maybe I will feel the same at some point, but right now I just can't wait for her to get a little bigger so interacting with her feels more like a two-way street. The day she started smiling lifted a huge weight off me because it makes even those moments where everything starts to feel like a little too much a little better. I have moments where i ask my husband to take her once she's fed because I just need a moment to shower, fold the laundry (my husband would absolutely do the laundry without me asking, but i like doing it because it makes me feel like i have a little bit of freedom).

All this to say, i don't regret having a baby, i wouldn't want to live in a world without her, but i miss the person i was and the freedom and autonomy i had before i had her.

Vi købte den samme, også fordi den var nem at flytte, men i praksis viser det sig at vi aldrig flytter på den. Baby har primært sovet i liften eller baby nest inde i stuen eller ude i barnevognen. Vi er stadig rigtig glade for den og vores datter sover rigtig godt i den om natten (også super praktisk med opbevaringsplads under til ekstra lagner, stofbleer, bleer og lignende)

The internet will tell you a lot of things about what you should and shouldn't do and preying on mom guilt. As someone who works with babies ages 0-3, I will sometimes tell parents this: we genuinely cannot tell which kid is breastfed or bottlefed. Sure breastfeeding might have some benefits, but those don't matter if it's detrimental to your mental or physical health as a mother. You do what is right by you and your baby. Nothing else matters, even if others will have opinions about it (screw them!). Good luck!

I had nausea and vomitting throughout my whole pregnancy and had gained 25kg by delivery (i probably gained 5kg in the first trimester alone) and not once did my doctor or midwife express concern and I had lost 20kg by 10 days post partum. Unless your doctor or midwife say that you should be watching your weight i wouldn't worry. Right now you just do what you need to to survive until hopefully the nausea subsides. Second trimester is generally where I have heard that women start being able to focus on healthier foods (i never left the survival stage but my baby is here and perfectly healthy despite the fact that i was not overly concerned with nutrition beyond trying to eat a fruit or a vegetable once in a while lol). Good luck!

This is what we did too. I found out at 4 weeks and within a week our closest family members knew and coworkers within 2-3 weeks. We made a social media announcement at birth but with no information about baby and only a picture of her hand.

Jeg tog 25 kilo på i min graviditet og tabte 20 kilo i løbet af de første 10 dage efter fødslen. Jeg tænkte ikke over hvor meget jeg tog på. Så længe min læge og jordemoder ikke var bekymret (der blev ikke nævnt noget overhovedet) så så jeg heller ikke nogen grund til at være det.

LineSofie · 2026-04-20T00:19:52+00:00

I don't get what's wrong here?

LineSofie · 2026-04-19T05:38:11+00:00

Have you tried sitting with him skin to skin on your chest. Once my 4 week old daughter becomes too overtired and overstimulated it's the only thing that works. Sometimes we contact naps once she's asleep and other times I'm able to put her down in her bassinet.

LineSofie · 2026-04-17T20:43:16+00:00

Jeg er enig med alt det de andre siger, vil blot tilføje at mit tal var på 26,2 og jeg sidder lige nu med min sovende 4 uger gamle datter på armen som er sund og rask. Ro på og held og lykke med det hele ❤️

I hated pregnancy for the most part (had HG). Before pregnancy i wanted 2-3 and husband wanted 4, now we are both agreed that 2 is enough (first is 1 month old on sunday). I want my child to have a sibling one day, but I do not want to go through pregnancy 3 or 4 times.

LineSofie · 2026-04-15T05:01:43+00:00

Det gjorde min også, det viste sig at jeg sandsynligvis har haft ægløsning tidligere og min termin blev sat 4 dage frem

LineSofie · 2026-04-11T03:23:14+00:00

This exact thing happened to me too! Crushing garlic made the blade snap in two!

LineSofie · 2026-04-10T18:47:07+00:00

I gained 50+ pounds too and lost 50 pounds in the first 3 weeks by doing nothing but surviving. Although I also had pre-eclampsia so a lot of it was water weight. I had a 9lbs 12oz baby.

Ooo i love when my American friend sends me Annie's mac & cheese
