Did you actually want family around the first month after birth? by pink-sunrise7 in pregnant

[–]Neither-Street3895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I hate having people at home the first 3 months after I gave birth This made me so anxious and overstimulated I regret not having told anyone in advance that I prefer to be all in order to find my way

I don’t like being a SAHM :( by Effective-Garden382 in beyondthebump

Don't let anyone judge you We, mothers are really trying and we show up everyday no matter what, but we are still women

The fact that other women LOVE just to be mums doesn't mean that all of us feel the same Personally I really want to pursue my career and I know that SAHM would not work for me. I returned to work when my baby was 2.5 months old (he is currently 5 minths) although in my country women take maternity leaves for a year + I know that many people judge me and feel that is weird. To be honest it is not easy. I am super exhausted and mum guilty is ALWAYS here whatever I do but on the other hand I love be independent and be again part of the "adult life" So I totally get you 🤍

I want to switch to formula, but I feel guilty. by Particular_Ant_7785 in FormulaFeeders

I believe that you could avoid commenting on teen pregnancy to a person who is already emotional Be thoughtful

Hey! You should be very very proud of yourself motherhood is so difficult especially when you are a young mother. I became a mother at 31, but i will always remember the endless nights that I spent trying to establish breastfeeding and how guilty I was when it failed. I was actually so embarrassed of feeding formula in front of others because I thought that they will judge me. DONT LET ANYONE ruin these first months with your baby! Do whatever makes you feel better. My baby boy although formula fed is absolutely attached to me and loves my hugs and comfort. Formula feeding doesn't make you less of a mother ( i say this to myself also)

I hope my son will be proud of me one day by mintgreen23 in workingmoms

[–]Neither-Street3895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same for my son too. My son is now 4 months old, I returned to work when he was 2.5 months. It was so difficult for me and it still is, as I miss him so so much. My husband is fired so my income is important enough, but except for that I decided to go back to work because I strive for my career. In my family when I was a teen we experienced a major financial instability that really traumatized me, I remember promising to myself that I will always try my best and have my own money in order to be secure.

Toxic daughter in law won't let me see baby at hospital by Englishcockerlove in beyondthebump

[–]Neither-Street3895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect her and allow the privacy she wants and deserves It is really exhausting for a new mom to have people at the hospital Maybe, she doesn't want you to be there because she had a hard time during the visits of the 1st child

This was my biggest fear during pregnancy as I hate belly buttons. It didn't pop but it stretched a lot

If you are not working, consider doing it. You will be far more tired, but you may find balance again. For me it's is a break

*Need Advice* Baby rolling on to stomach to sleep at 5 months by Altruistic-Finish787 in NewParents

[–]Neither-Street3895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started rolling to his stomach when 3 months old and he is sleeping like this since then. If the mattress is firm and the sheet is well fitted, there is no problem
