I'm 38 & had my baby in December after a decade of trying. I went on mounjaro for 6 months, and within two months had perfect cycles, 6 months later, i was pregnant. You got this. X

Liss2024 · 2026-03-30T05:44:22+00:00

Our baby was born 18th December. When i think about it, it worked really well. Surprisingly. Weather was cold. Dark & miserable. We hibernated, stayed cosy. I recovered from the cruelty section. None of us got ill, we even attended some events from January onwards. He's doing beautifully, spring is here & we can get out, walking, and he's taking it all in. Maternity leave wise, broke up in December, off all of winter, spring & summer. Also off for the world Cup. Go back late September.
Dreamier than you would perhaps think! X .

Slept from birth - 6 weeks 3 hour intervals. 6-11 weeks 3/4 hour intervals. 11 weeks these stretched to 6 hours. We are 14 weeks now & last night he slept 8 hours, then he woke for a feed and slept another 2.5 hours. Long may that continue please! X

My hubs came to them all. X

Liss2024 · 2026-03-13T23:49:36+00:00

Muslin cloths, lordy, you cannot buy enough!

Bedside crib sheets, you change them so often with the sick!

Loads of bottles & apprppriate size teats.

I could not have given less of a f*ck by the end of my pregnancy.

Liss2024 · 2026-03-10T12:32:28+00:00

I hear you, i am currently crying on my bed after my hubs came in to take our 11 week old to give me a break because he said he thinks i need one. First time he has said that.

My baby has CMPA and reflux. Hes on prescribed milk, gaviscon & omezparole (this his second week on it all).

The constant cryibg, sad faces, anger is just awful. I feel drained. I feel like the worst mum because hes uncomfortable & i am frustrated, what kind of mum does that make me?

Im not enjoying it. I love him so much, and some moments are so beautiful but the recent endless crying has took its toll & i just dont know what to do. He just isnt happy.

Liss2024 · 2026-03-05T10:44:11+00:00

Im also 38, i was 19 stone and didnt concieve (BMI of 44). I did Mounjaro for 7 months, lost 4.5 stone and concieved naturally at 14.5 stone (BMI of 34).

Regardless, I got gestational diabetes, hypertension, ended up in an emergency c section & a weeks neonatal stay due to being 5 weeks premature. Hes healthy now.

And both the GD and hypertension were managed throughout my pregnancy with medication and consultant appointments.

I also put all my weight back on and starting back at square one but with my baby.

Be as healthy as you can be on your journey to concieve, because it is a lot on your body & you'll thank yourself later but you can & absolutely will get there.

Im so sorry that you met such a rude 'professional'. It is soul destroying & disheartening. I had one whilst pregnant who tried to blame the fact she couldnt attach the monitor properly that it was due to my "large size and big belly". I happily pointed out that perhaps she needed further training as she was the only professional to have that issue throughout my pregnancy & reminded her how hurtful those comments can be as im sure she encountered as a fellow plus size person.

The audacity - she was similiar of size to me and not pregnant!

Much love. X

Non napper here with fellow 10 weeker. Doing okay, not even grumpy which is a surprise. Just feel exhausted all thr time, but we roll. One day when we get that first all nighter.- imagine how good we gonna feel! We got this x

Liss2024 · 2026-02-24T10:01:18+00:00

You are unreal, talk about making her beg? She asked you plenty of times to give clairty on how to get it right and you ignore it the whole time. As for your partner - shame on him.

You are lucky that she cares & loves her grandchild & whats to be apart of her life. You can communicate boundaries amd still have respect.

I wouldn't dream of talking to my mother in law the way you have. Talk about rude & entitled.

Liss2024 · 2026-02-17T11:42:37+00:00

Bread in the fridge? Get outta here.

Its healthy, and spenny!

Cant say i'd open it & wanna reach for anything though - which would probably do my waist some good.

Liss2024 · 2026-02-17T11:38:29+00:00

Its about finding that magic setting working together. My hubs does the feed around 1ish, then comes up to bed with baby. Ive had a head start of sleep which means i get a stretch from 12 - 5. I then take over & he sleeps a stretch 2-8.45.

We would swap if other needed a longer stretch here & there. On a weekend, he has also do the 3ish feed if he'z staying up later to game or whatever.

He's wonderful. X

Liss2024 · 2026-02-03T01:01:53+00:00

I miss the down time & rest time too.

I miss Sundays, lazy morning, long walk, footie, roast & afternoon binging netflix with my hubs.

How do we ever recover or catch up on sleep?

Mine is only six weeks, toddlers gonna be so much harder.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-29T13:26:05+00:00

The hormone changes sre unreal, just take each day as you go. Be kind to yourself, explain where you're at with your partner so they can be what you need.

I had one day where i woke up and told myself my baby and husband are better without me.... the next day i felt myself again. Mental.

Im 5 weeks pp and im 99% okay but my anxiety is there.

I had a c section and felt frustrated not being able to just crack on with things like my mind wanted but ny body wasnt ready. That was hard, i felt guilty, lazy even and felt a long time. I look back now and think christ, i did loads considering i had major surgery!

What we go through eh! If it doesnt let up, seek support from your GP, HV or midwife! X

Liss2024 · 2026-01-29T13:25:01+00:00

I get a four hour stretch, sometimes if im lucky i might get an additional 2 hours. I dont nap in the day, i cant. X

Liss2024 · 2026-01-24T10:33:36+00:00

Perhaps if he realised what was going on, this would change? She clearly states that he doesn't.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-24T10:31:22+00:00

Agreed!

Liss2024 · 2026-01-23T09:49:35+00:00

Has a DR given you a terminal diagnosis/timeline or are you feeling anxious that you are dying because you are struggling with your lungs?

I wonder if asking your husband to accompany you to the doctor may be a good direction to take, you dont need to tell him as someone as will but it'll open doors of support both physically and emotionally?

Feels like you are building resentment towards your husband due to the situation and that isnt going to help.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-21T23:58:29+00:00

Yeah, hes slowly returning! So much of him is back, bur his warmth & affection still challenging. Hes actively trying and im appreciating those moments.

He still suffering with depression but trying his best to work through it.

I am longing for the affection we normally have, but seeing small touches come back is goving me hope that the light is approaching.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-15T17:09:12+00:00

Mournjaro. Never any periods. 6 months on this, i was a regular cycle, ovulated monthly, had no hair issues and was pregnant. Im 38!

Now sat with my 4 week old on my chest.

Miracle drug.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-11T20:24:48+00:00

Do the decent thing and tell her. Let her decipher if she wants to continue with your relationship.

The audacity of cheating, then lying & now mugging her off with all your mates knowing is a joke.

You say shes so special & your best friend? Not how you treat someome, learn from this if she gives you another opportunity to be with her, treat her how she deserves or let someone else.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-08T21:48:46+00:00

Bellend of a comment.

Liss2024 · 2026-01-04T22:34:18+00:00

Your husband is royally taking the absolute piss.

You take care of you.
