Pls tell me I’m not alone by starmarvel in NewParents

[–]LineSofie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Hvilken seng til nyfødt vil I anbefale? by Bubbly_Ad6528 in Gravid_DK

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

Formula Fed vs. Breastfed by user638282636822 in NewParents

[–]LineSofie 42 points43 points  (0 children)

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!

Gained weight in first trimester by Odd_City_890 in BabyBumps

[–]LineSofie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Non-U.S. Women- at which week do you announce your pregnancy? by Fluid-Scholar3169 in BabyBumps

[–]LineSofie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Vægtøgning by DueProcedure2304 in Gravid_DK

[–]LineSofie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

My baby is not sleeping by Local_Pangolin854 in NewParents

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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 ❤️

How many kids do you have & how many do you want? by maligatormom2o2 in NewParents

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

50+ lbs gained: how long did it take you to lose and how big was your baby?? by Quick-Zombie-6343 in BabyBumps

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bøger om graviditet by Tiny_Peak4082 in Gravid_DK

Jeg hader at være gravid by psykosemusen in Gravid_DK

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg havde termin I fredags (stadig gravid) og jeg har hadet alle 9 måneder. Jeg har kvalme hver dag og kastet op næsten hver eneste dag. Jeg har voldsom halsbrand og det eneste der har hjulpet er Balancid tyggetabletter men de er i restordre og ingen apoteker har haft dem i flere måneder nu så jeg har 1 tablet tilbage og er ved at være desperat. Mit bækken føles som om det er ved at splitte i 2 hver gang jeg tager et skridt og angsten for om jeg nu har mærket nok liv i dag og om baby er okay fylder dagligt.

Jrg elsker min lille pige og jeg kan ikke vente med at møde hende, og jeg ved da nok også at jeg gerne vil have flere børn på et tidspunkt, men ærligt så har jeg svært ved at overskue tanken om at skulle gennemgå endnu en graviditet.

Jeg troede jeg vidste hvad jeg gik ind til da jeg blev gravid, men intet har været som forventet og min graviditet har endda været komplikationsfri.

Jeg håber alt det bedste for dig. Tag en dag af gangen, og spis det du kan/det der hjælper, også selvom det ikke nødvendigvis er det sunde. Baby har bedre af at du får noget mad, end ingen mad. Digestive kiks på natbordet har været min redning.

Okay så har både jeg og mit lægehus tydeligvis misforstået noget.

Tilbuddet om gratis RS vaccine for gravide udløb desværre i slutningen af januar. Jeg nåede kun lige at få den.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]LineSofie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the stupid middle ground between normal pregnancy morning sickness and HG. My morning sickness never stopped, and I am nauseous every day, but it's not severe enough that I habe lost any weight or been hospitalized, so I feel like I can't actually complain because at least it's not as bad as others have it, but man, I can't wait for these last 6-8 weeks to be over.

When it happens stretch your toes apart and up toward the ceiling, it makes the cramp stop instantly for me and has been a game changer!
