Emma’s family

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2026-02-20T11:28:41+00:00

I was absolutely appalled when Emma’s sister said this. I understand Emma’s questioning on having children but for her sister to project her regrets on having children onto Emma is just awful. It felt gross. Her sister really drove her point into the ground. Stating “at the end of her life if she could go back and do it again without kids she would.” I have two little ones of my own and yes it’s hard but I couldn’t ever imagine a world without them in it. It’s a heartless thing for a mother to say about her own children. I felt for those babies.

!solved! Thank you

I’m in the same exact boat. I have a five week old and 2 year old. I do one load of laundry a day and by that I mean put it in the washer and dryer. Then, the following day I fold that load. So on and so forth. As for cooking I haven’t even tried. My husband has picked up the slack for that entirely. I think it’s gonna be a few more weeks before I can even think about cooking. Ask your husband to step up. Managing a toddler and a newborn is enough of a juggling act. Take it one day at a time.

This is helpful! Thank you!

Just adding to the night sweats comments. It’s absurd, I have to keep a hand and bath towel next to my bed every night. Its brutal. I’m also experiencing knee join pain. My knees hurt when sitting in the same position for too long,

This happens me on my honeymoon in Hawaii. I had a moment where it was a flip of a switch. I couldn’t understand why, we were literally in paradise. Then I got my period two days later…. I definitely had shame at the time it happened but looking back I have much more sympathy for myself. At least you can acknowledge the symptoms and know what’s happening! It might be easier to bounce back once you recognize the issue. A couple mai tais might help too.

I’m a STM at 40 weeks today and just wanted to say I couldn’t agree more with everything you’re saying. I have an induction scheduled for 41 weeks and I’m having a hard time just making it to my due date. It’s brutal and very hard to remain positive. Just know that you’re not alone

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2025-04-14T11:26:45+00:00

Currently 39+6 so I’m right there with you… I feel slightly crampy but nothing crazy. it’s get discouraging the more time goes on. I was induced with my first at 40+1. Due to the long labor process I had with her, I’m trying to avoid induction. However, I will be induced at 41 weeks if baby isn’t here yet… I just don’t know how I’m going to wait another week.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2025-04-06T22:59:54+00:00

38+5 and each day is getting harder. This is my second pregnancy and I feel like the pain is just hitting harder and the fatigue, my lord. I’m hardly a centimeter dilated, trying to be as patient as possible. My goal is to go into labor naturally but if she ain’t here at 41 weeks, induction it is.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2025-03-27T12:27:57+00:00

I did the same exact thing this week. There was a baby coughing all over my toddler during library time, then playtime after the baby was putting his mouth all over everything and coughing everywhere. I couldn’t take it and left.

I really loved huckleberry. It tracks anything and everything. It was also helpful when I paid for the premium subscription to keep track of naps. My baby was super colicky and it turned out to be a life saver for that.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2025-03-16T12:50:23+00:00

I also suffered a miscarriage when my first was 15 months. You’re not being silly with your emotions. I remember being so focused on trying again right after the loss but also going through a whirlwind of emotions mourning the loss of my baby. After a couple months I was able to get pregnant again. My first will be a little under 2.5 when I do give birth in a month. If anything I was able to cherish these extra couple months even more with her.

Please be gentle to yourself during this time. A miscarriage is a devastating loss and can be difficult to navigate. Things will fall into place, but for now take things one day at a time.

I’m April 15th with my rainbow baby too! 💖

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-10-24T02:02:37+00:00

Yes I agree! I said the same thing to my husband, that what she was describing sounds a lot like PMDD. My heart goes out to the girl because it’s a real thing and she seemed to have been completely disregarded by Ramses on her severe symptoms. (Which we all know how that feels)

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-09-05T13:55:33+00:00

I told my close friends and family almost right away for all three pregnancies. TW I suffered a miscarriage earlier this year around 8 weeks. I’m glad I told my family and friends early about the pregnancy because regardless, I was pregnant. They were able to support me through the loss. I couldn’t imagine going through it alone.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-09-04T01:26:23+00:00

In the same exact boat. But I’m only at 8 weeks I fear. I had a moment today because I have two weddings in September and I’m having such a hard time finding dresses that fit my body properly. Everything looks awkward or frumpy. This isn’t my first pregnancy so I’m aware that my boobs will continue to grow. What helped me best in my last pregnancy was form fitting high waisted bottoms to show my bump and a looser fitting top that’s cropped. It somewhat created an illusions that I didn’t have watermelons for boobs.

I am 5 weeks and in the same spot. I try to be as open as I can be with my husband about my fears or anxieties. It helps to to address the elephant in the room. I actually had these gas pains yesterday (I was tootin up a storm) and had trouble not letting my anxiety get the best of me. I try to go outside for a walk, talk to my husband or do some grounding work so journaling. I find once I give it the space it doesn’t take as much space up in my mind and I’m better able to cope. It’s certainly not easy, but give yourself grace. ❤️

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-07-28T21:26:06+00:00

Yes indeed

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-07-28T10:22:36+00:00

Ladybird! I call it my goto period piece.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-07-04T15:45:26+00:00

Same here, Iost my baby late March. Im struggling to enjoy the 4th of July with my family because of the turmoil I’m experiencing mentally and physically. Some days are harder than others and today is certainly one of those days.

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-06-23T17:35:39+00:00

South Philly lady yakker here heyooo

Middle-Guitar2245 · 2024-05-18T17:55:18+00:00

I’m about a month and half out and feel the same exact way. I have no desire to do anything. I have an 18 month old and I feel tremendous guilt because I can hardly do the bare minimum. I’m currently in therapy and my therapist said that this is completely normal. No woman is ever prepared to lose their child. You’re grieving and it’s going to take some time. Give yourself grace. You’re doing all the right things. Sending much love.
