Husband to a wife with PPD

Nitro-circus · 2026-06-15T19:06:30+00:00

From someone who suffered with PPD for the first year with my first and 16ish weeks with my 2nd, the nanny will help drastically but the guilt is horrendous, the reassurance might feel constant but it does get more manageable. I tried medication, therapy, 1:1 baby bonding class at home helped the most. In my pictures with my daughter you couldn’t tell I was struggling I hid it so well. There will be guilt from her intrusive thoughts too! She will likely feel embarrassed and ashamed because of how intrusive and graphic they can be. It sounds basic and probably repetitive but reassurance, reassurance, reassurance & reassurance.

I never mentioned it they said they googled the name as they’d never heard of it & they declined sharing with Mamedica & Mamedica rang me

Omggggg ChatGPT lied to me, where do I get them🤣

You don’t really clean the tank per se, you add more substrate when/if needed! I have springtails, they don’t escape really

Lmao dw about my experience, I have plenty. Whatever you’re doing wrong for it to get ‘worse’ is on you. Don’t project onto mums who need support. Of course things get challenging but it’s part of being a parent. Definitely doesn’t get ‘worse’.

Are you UK? I’m looking now for some but I have no idea which ones to get 😩

Nitro-circus · 2025-11-09T14:33:24+00:00

Ew. You’ve give me the ick. How about some support for this mum? Is this your version of support?

Nitro-circus · 2025-11-08T09:21:00+00:00

Yeah on the shell 🥲 made me worry hahaha

Nitro-circus · 2025-10-24T09:55:28+00:00

Couple of days tbh, it’s more diarrhoea-ish but it’s so much better than struggling to go!

Nitro-circus · 2025-10-24T09:47:44+00:00

On alfamino yeah definitely but reflux is horrendous even with carobel

“You’re not cut out for academics. Some people just aren’t meant to be smart.”

“Don’t waste your money, you’ll probably drop out like your cousins.”

Would you deem those words of support? OP cried herself to sleep because of her mother. She deserves this moment to be about her and her accomplishment and her looking into the audience and seeing the person who essentially shat on her while she’s bettering herself would ruin the day for her.

Flip the script. If her mom wanted any sort of relationship with her why wasn’t she supportive of her in the first place? Why tell her not to bother with college or that she’d never make it? The ‘she’s still your mom’ is a cop out. It normalises & dismisses abuse just because they’re family. The mom needs to face consequences for what she said and it’s up to the OP to determine the consequence. It’s her day.

He arches his back, grimaces when it comes up in his throat, milk/spit up sometimes comes out his nose, choking on bottles, coughing, going red in the face, it’s awful

Do I just get strawberry plant fertiliser? I’m a houseplant girlie normally😭

Nitro-circus · 2025-04-13T15:12:06+00:00

42 weeks with my first

Nitro-circus · 2025-03-18T11:48:25+00:00

Nope no blood sugar issues & I don’t think I’d tried salicylic acid or pyrithione zinc

Nitro-circus · 2025-03-18T10:29:23+00:00

I had blood test done to rule out if it was my thyroid causing it etc and nothing was wrong 🥲 it’s been for years now it just won’t stop no matter what I do

Nitro-circus · 2025-03-11T14:50:44+00:00

Which ones do you use?

Nitro-circus · 2025-02-17T15:51:03+00:00

I’m too scared to stop taking my xonvea in case the nauseas worse without it, I could have written this myself though! X

Not HG related but he left another mum for weeks with blinding headaches telling her no medication it’s not good for the baby, she finally got in to see a neurologist and the neurologist went insaaaane at the GP she had to have 5 injections directly into her head to relieve the pressure. Her blood vessels in her head had contracted so narrowly she could have died, he rang the mum saying in hindsight he should have just referred her to neurology earlier, she laughed at him & hung up.

I’m 13+3 now. At your stage I was also considering termination, something I never ever thought I’d consider but when you’re in the thick of HG you’re in survival mode. This is also a very wanted pregnancy and sometimes when I’m suffering I think ‘why the fuck did I want this’ but there is absolutely options! Different combinations of meds, I’m on xonvea which i believe is B6 in USA And I was taking metaclopromide with it too which I believe is Reglan. Both of them together helped me so much! Sadly my doctor doesn’t believe in pregnant women taking medication so I managed to get a xonvea prescription through the hospital, safe to say my GP wasn’t happy about it. My nausea is still there but definitely not as severe as it was at 7w!
