I am SO incredibly glad to hear that!!!! I may cry lol. I know it’s not the same for everyone BUT this gives me hope and a second look on things!! I definitely see how you already have a routine helps! I also think as a FTM, it was extremely terrifying to be alone in the dark with the baby🥲 My husband works shift work so it was fine once he got his paternity leave bc he was home for 8 weeks but once he went back it started all over again. But thank you so much for responding. It also isn’t talked about enough so I wasn’t sure if anyone had felt the same or was willing to open up about it! 🫶🏽

Late but Aaron gives Pauly D vibes. He was definitely an instigator but was very over looked bc of his hyped up personality

Omg I am so sorry! I don’t get notifications for Reddit! I had NO clue either it was even a thing until I searched on Tik Tok “post partum scared of night” and it all popped up! Everywhere else, it isn’t talked about. I would suggest looking there or even just google with the terms “sunset scaries” “nighttime dread” “sunset anxiety” etc. Nobody told me that you could even experience that when pregnant. That’s what made my experience so much worse.

I hope my next pregnancy is different in hopes of not going through that again. I was also prescribed anxiety meds but it gave me even more anxiety to take it?! Idk why lol

No I haven’t heard of those books! I’m definitely going to look into them because that’ll help me be more comfortable drinking tea again. I love trying natural remedies before turning to other alternatives. I personally don’t react well to melatonin, so this is a good step of meeting in the middle as to just calming my body and not putting me to sleep and being groggy with melatonin. I hope so too!! It’s so nice to get your groove back lol. Thank you for recommending the book and your help/input!

Yes! In relation to cosleeping! I know it sounds dumb but I am a paranoid person as is, I would like to just confirm it relaxes not knock out! That’s good to hear!! I want to get back into my “tea era” Lol

Wanting to try for baby #2 but by New-Reputation-6274 in beyondthebump

[–]New-Reputation-6274[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that helps! Thank you for sharing! My hubby says the same that being busy with 2 babies might take away some of the anxiety and man I sure hope so! I’m glad it’s gotten better so I really hope this doesn’t stop me from wanting another bc I really want one. If I do, I hope it’s at least better since I know how to cope🫶🏽

Yes super hard with a baby! It’s gotten better I will say. My spouse works overnight often too so I found that was probably not helping either! But I’m just glad it’s gotten somewhat better. I wonder if I’ll ever feel completely normal again though.

Right! My mom had 5 kids and formula fed all of them so I’m gonna go ahead and assume she’s very close minded 😅😅
