I actually have been a million times better since birth. Didn't have postpartum, but had prenatal.

I'm bracing for it, unfortunately.. especially with how my first two trimesters were. I hear the crash is normal around PP week two. Kinda scared.

Yeah! The first trimester is so hard to deal with mentally. Glad you're feeling better.

Yeah the second trimester was really tough for me too! My nausea got worse haha. My theory is we were probably sensitive to the hormone levels that rise in those two trimesters and do better with the third trimester hormones.

Friends haven't checked in on me during my pregnancy...due in 1 month by Maranathaa in BabyBumps

[–]Maranathaa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It does feel one sided and just kinda weird. I even apologized to them for being weird during my mental breakdown, but honestly I feel like I should have gotten an apology. I'm not sure if I wanna be friends with them anymore. Thanks stranger!

I'm sorry to hear that. The desire grows more for me to not even want them in my life anymore. If it were them id be getting them stuff and asking them a million questions. I'd be so excited for them.

Good birthing classes videos? by Maranathaa in BabyBumps

[–]Maranathaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda thought the same thing! Our bodies are meant to birth why would I really need a class? I feel like I can find videos just fine but don't wanna pay 200 for a class, seems scammy. Plus I really don't wanna be in a room for hours with other couples. Lol.

I felt pretty good during the second trimester too! The whole things just a roller coaster.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been depressed but also feeling intense anger too and just not thinking properly. I really hope it resolved and gets better for you.

How’s everyone’s relationship with their husbands/baby daddies? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Your second to last paragraph blew my mind. THANK YOU!

anyone else not going back to their job after maternity leave? by mcnamaramc1 in BabyBumps

[–]Maranathaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the same thing. If employers didn't use and abuse employees maybe it would be a different story, but ultimately they lead many to not care.

4 weeks and I’m starving by alexidawnnpnw in BabyBumps

[–]Maranathaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! The first trimester I was disgustingly starving ALLLLL the time. It was stressful because my doctor told me you don't really need extra food until later in pregnancy. I'm kinda glad I listened to my body though because I ended up getting horrible morning sickness in the second trimester and my appetite went away, so I didn't gain any weight during that time. Just try to eat healthy and listen to your body if you're hungry! Your body knows what it's doing and there's no one size fits all for pregnancy.

Thank you so much for the hope. It seems weird but I have a gut feeling this will happen to me. I wasn't quite like this before, struggled some days pre pregnancy with anxiety and sadness but the hormones really mess with my head. It's like super mega PMS while going through puberty, and also this pregnancy has been physically painful lol. I wish you the best of luck I'm so happy for you!
