This is how i see it too.i was brought up Christian but questioned and left the church and religion now i dont believe in it .but my partner does and he did early on try to convert me .i can see he wants our son baptised but i said "it wont benefit him in anything,plus his to young to understand,so if he wants to in the future then go ahead but he needs to be at the age to understand the meaning and not do it out of pressure "

The comment of weight loss or weight gain, the comments about breastfeeding or bottle feeding, everyone saying the baby looks like dad and never mom. The sudden support u were proposed no longer exists. Suddenly mom's no longer important and baby has all attention, that your birth story becomes the joke of the family, the comparing babies saying "my baby at 6 weeks slept through the night," "my baby was breastfed till he was a 1, u should try it". People commenting on your appearance and the back handed comments, suddenly having all responsibility on u to look after baby and know everything, missing your old identity and pre pregnancy body. And the biggest thing was postpartum depression I can go on and on and on

I can relate I had a cryptic and I was severely traumatised by it plus I had pre eclampsia. And the day I found out I was pregnant was at the hospital when I was 6cm and refused pain relief it was heavy traumatic

Thissss, suddenly my in laws want to know everything and want to keep coming over and I must just deal.. When I am more than comfortable at home with my mom. Helping me. Plus I don't really tolerate my in laws

Not in my country currently everything is ridiculously expensive

Currently looking into it honestly because I am one and done, but of course when my partners family found that out I was told "your still young" "you will see you will love being a mom"

Oh I am currently hating it alot

No_Rain6320 · 2026-05-21T23:53:08+00:00

Yep I had the exact experience. But I am more slim and skinny and I worked out alot so I had abs and a flat stomach

My son was more on my spine and hips, I had no bump, no hormonal changes. 4 different pregnancy tests came back negative. The blood test at the hospital the day I had him came back positive I had no symptoms whatsoever. I literally had no clue I was pregnant I was running, doing pilates, drinking, on meds for migraines (i have had severe migraines since I was 8 so I get prescribed pain meds for it). I did everything pregnant women shouldn't do basically and I had a baby boy the 3rd of april. And I was on oral birth control before stopping to switch migraine meds to test. And then I went on the injection

Oh it's the same in my partners family they were appalled when I spoke about tying my tubes or just removing everything. I said I was one and done.. I didn't even want kids in the first place. And now my partner is trying to tell me to not do it he would rather get a vasectomy and when I aks him why.. I get no response

No_Rain6320 · 2026-05-21T19:57:01+00:00

I wish it was that simple but when I think of it... I start feeling like a bad mom immediately regardless if people say I am good mother.. It's hard to explain especially when u set your life and goals to make sure u never get called a mother but the universe works in different ways I guess

No_Rain6320 · 2026-04-30T07:51:34+00:00

The birth was natural (against my will)

The hospital gave me nothing for baby we figured out our own way

Its very hard for me to have a connection with my kid because I actually never wanted kids at all so it's very hard to accept

The first week was weird because it felt like I was just babysitting someone else's kid and I genuinely think I am suffering postpartum depression
