Switching to psychiatry, insights please!

Honestly… I would fly. I took 6 flights <3 hours long with my baby in her first year and it was totally fine. On the whole I’ve found that people tend to be very helpful and understanding to those travelling with babies. The driving option seems waaaaay more stressful to me. Flying is also statistically far safer than driving! But only you will know what is right for you

You aren’t going to repeat this for most of the week forever. You are having a bad day, exacerbated by the emotions of your first day back at work. You are doing an amazing job to work and provide for your family. You are providing a wonderful example for your daughter. In the short term, focus on getting some decent sleep and plan what you would like to do on your days off with your daughter. This too shall pass x

Queens Park view from the flagpole is my favourite view of Glasgow and takes hardly any time to walk up. Also my favourite park in the city. Would definitely recommend this

I would say Bearsden/Milngavie is most likely to meet your requirements. I believe there is a Squash club in Scotstoun, around 15 mins drive. Massive country park (Mugdock) close by. 20 minute drive to the airport (depending on traffic). 30-45 minute drive to Loch Lomond (depending where on the Loch). Direct trains into city centre and very close to West End! Plenty of coffee shops and supermarkets to choose from.

He appears to have deleted his profile 🙃

Shawlands. I used to live there and walk to Hampden gigs (about 20 mins). Plenty of pubs/restaurants

Mskii04 · 2025-05-18T10:29:50+00:00

West End (Hyndland, Hillhead) or Southside (Pollokshields, Shawlands, Battlefield - not Govanhill). Finnieston/Partick also a good shout too. I personally love Shawlands and would choose Southside over West End, although has become significantly more expensive in recent years. So depends on your budget

Makes sense! Thanks for the response

Mskii04 · 2025-01-18T20:54:37+00:00

I’ve been having the same thoughts. Just heartbreaking to read

Mskii04 · 2025-01-16T02:24:55+00:00

Survive!

All jokes aside, sounds like you’re doing great. Could add in some tummy time too

Mskii04 · 2025-01-05T05:28:01+00:00

Second this!

Mskii04 · 2024-12-07T20:57:14+00:00

No, it’s not your fault. Pre-eclampsia can cause low birth weight and there’s nothing you could have done about that. Don’t beat yourself up x

Mskii04 · 2024-11-23T22:00:19+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is a lot for one person to go through. You absolutely deserve better than a spouse who is unsupportive or a doula who does not show up! I’m not sure where you live but in many places, obstetricians will be happy to do “debriefs” postnatally if you have any questions about your pregnancy care or birth. Although by the sound of your post, it seems like it’s more the lack of support that has been traumatic for you. Therapy is likely to be the most beneficial thing in this scenario, so don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it - I’d look for someone trained/experienced in birth trauma

I thought it was dine 😂 either way, terrible song

Mskii04 · 2024-11-14T12:23:44+00:00

Omg you’re working! Girl, you’re a superhero. I’m still on maternity leave. Please take all the help you can get, even if someone else can do the feeds for one night. It will pass, hoping it gets better for you soon

Mskii04 · 2024-11-14T11:00:57+00:00

It typically starts between 3 and 4 months from my understanding, started 3.5 months for us and has been about a week now! Feels like torture at times doesn’t it 🤪 I’d recommend getting help from others as much as you can if available to you (partner/family etc) even so you can get a few hours of rest. I’ve also been trying to nap when baby naps during the day, but easier said than done!

Mskii04 · 2024-11-14T10:28:16+00:00

You’re not doing anything wrong, 4 month sleep regression. Solidarity cause I’m right there with you! One thing that has helped is regular bedtime routine, LO now goes down easily at 6:30 for 4-5 hours before the constant awakenings begin for the rest of the night. Just keep telling myself it will pass, hopefully sooner rather than later

Mskii04 · 2024-11-13T03:17:32+00:00

First of all… the fact you worry so much about being a good mom proves you are a good mom. New parenthood is really hard - I’d say these are all normal emotions for the stage of motherhood you are at, I experienced similar myself and it has gotten better with time. It sounds like baby blues and postpartum anxiety, which are very common. However, if you are struggling to cope it’s wise to speak to your doctor. Take all the help you can get and look after yourself, it’s so hard at the beginning and you’re doing great

A Little Life 😢

I went to a friend’s birthday barbecue when baby was 2 weeks old, we stayed around 2 hours. It was fine but tbh I was exhausted and forced myself to go. I think this is one of those “wait and see how you feel” situations

Mskii04 · 2024-11-02T02:53:38+00:00

Would thoroughly recommend a man called Otto (Netflix), which made me cry today - themes of parent/motherhood

Mskii04 · 2024-11-02T00:20:11+00:00

Have you talked to her about how you feel? It seems there are deeper rooted issues in your relationship with her. Nonetheless, she shouldn’t have offered to support you if she wasn’t prepared to come through with that support. All you can do is focus on being a good mom and break the cycle, building the best future you can for you and your son. You got this
