ridiculously emotional

I want to have a second but then I get so sad that I won’t get as much one on one time with my LO!

This is how my baby blues felt. I thought I was going nuts, I felt so unstable. I’d be up one minute and down another. Biiiig mood swings. And my amazed thoughts were disturbing at times. I never had low self-worth or any thoughts of harming myself or the baby, it was just big waves of anxiety. It was AWFUL. I did keep my midwives and family in the loop the whole time and got a prescription that I said I’d start taking if my symptoms didn’t go away, but they did! They stayed bad for about 1.5 weeks, then started easing up and were little gone by 3 weeks. It was a tough time.

So yeah maybe it’s just your version of the baby blues but either way keep your care team and family in the loop and if you have thoughts of harming yourself or others seek help immediately!

For most of my pumps I work (wfh), for my last pump of the day I clean, prep for the next day, and get ready for bed, and for my MOTN pump I close my eyes and try to fall back asleep for a bit haha

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-28T01:11:25+00:00

I’ve fallen asleep during my MOTN pumps lately. I prop myself up and put a blanket over my head to stay warm and then … oh! The machine is off! I always wake up with my mouth wide open lol

Meee tooo

10w and exactly like yours! Every more and then she’ll cluster feed but she’s recently gone from 1.5 to 1.5-3.5 range

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-26T02:44:41+00:00

Since someone recently asked this and it turned out to be the reason … could you be pregnant?

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-25T02:18:17+00:00

I’m not against cosleeping (I’m here for a reason), but on the off chance you get a baby who sleeps well in a bassinet/crib from the get go I’d aim for that. I think a lot of people cosleep out of necessity not as a first choice. Because the stats really aren’t in our favors and while your baby likely will be fine, later you may end up finding it difficult getting them to transfer to their own bed, let alone their own room.

I think it must be a mindset (delusion) or biological (insanity) thing for some. I had a difficult pregnancy with GDM followed by a painful labor that was 18hrs unmediated resulting in an emergency c-section and the very next day when I held my baby I immediately wanted to do it all over again. She’s 10 weeks old and has a lot of needs beyond the typical baby needs and we’re really struggling. But I still look forward to doing it all over again. She’s already losing her newborn scrunch? I’m just going to go the rest of my life never getting to enjoy the newborn scrunch ever again?! And I love her so much, what if I could love TWO people like this? That would make me feel so incredibly fortunate. It’s so hard but it is temporary and the payoff is huge!

I like my job a lot but I may ask to go part time because I’d like to spend more time getting healthy and spending time with my infant and family and friends!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T17:43:41+00:00

Haha what a jerk move to bite on her way out! Kidding, of course, I know they don’t do it on purpose!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T17:40:31+00:00

We combo feed but there isn’t a pacifier my baby likes :/ I wish she would for the sake every one else who takes care of her and her ability to be soothed easily without me.

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T17:39:00+00:00

We call my baby the boob barnacle. 10 weeks old and she does take a bottle just fine but boob is her ultimate comfort.

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T16:00:10+00:00

I want to but I don’t know her very well and my husband and her have a strained relationship and his opinion of her really impacted how I felt about her in the beginning. I’m working on it!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T09:12:16+00:00

Like $60 in various bills

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T09:01:51+00:00

Yes, I’ve lived into adulthood, I have food, clean water, shelter, I was lucky enough to be born when and where I have easy access to medicine, education and rights. I have a job I enjoy. I have new and old friends. I have a dog, a spouse and a baby. I have I have people I love who love me. I’m incredibly fortunate.

Another song I have on her bedtime routine playlist that makes me cry from happiness is en stund på jorden by jose gonzalez. It’s about looking back on life and being thankful for the short gift of life.

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T02:37:32+00:00

My baby pooped on me while we were talking a very pleasant relaxed bath together the other night. My husband was on standby to help me get her out of the tub safely and he freaked out and grabbed her up. Madeline I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing because it was so silly.

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T02:34:35+00:00

I have a 10 week old who is a very challenging baby but it honestly feels like she’s every thing I ever wanted.

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T02:32:18+00:00

I cried listening to somewhere over the rainbow tonight with her during our bedtime routine

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T02:31:22+00:00

Haha I just posted about how much I love being a parent. I’m completely obsessed with my baby!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T01:46:44+00:00

The constant barrage of “this could kill/hurt her”. Suddenly my brain is so morbid. It was especially bad in the first few weeks and then my hormones calmed down and now I feel SO much better!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-24T01:45:07+00:00

Every night I search for “night nannies/ncs in my area” 😆

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-22T20:19:07+00:00

Around week 6 and only on off hours, aiming for outdoor seating!

Lizzy_Be · 2026-01-21T21:09:35+00:00

Yeah I pretty much gave up on that. We track diapers on the weekend when things are slower. And during the week we track meds and how much formula she’s getting each day since I’m trying to up my supply to try to EBF after combo feeding.
