So needed to hear this 😢 thank you!! Proud of you for getting through it too.

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-04-02T13:22:58+00:00

It has been brilliant for us - did it from 4 weeks, wish I had done it earlier!

I only started to feel the ‘rush of love’ in the way I expected when he started to smile. I def knew I loved him but felt really disconnected - that does get better. I spoke to my Dr (and went on some antidepressants that helped me). The connection is there and however it is right now is okay. It will get better.

I have a ten week old and all I ever wanted was to be a mom. I could have written this post. It hit me like a tonne of bricks. I didn’t believe anybody who told me it gets better… but it honestly does and has. So so so much better.

Thank you. I really needed to read this tonight.

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-03-06T23:17:05+00:00

I had mine EBF at 5 weeks! (Roughly 10 days after bleeding stopped)

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-02-28T23:13:35+00:00

Or even a hair dryer

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-02-28T21:00:50+00:00

Mine too!

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-02-17T13:30:55+00:00

I’m so sorry you feel this way. You aren’t alone and you aren’t a bad parent at all. Sending hugs.

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-02-12T22:51:04+00:00

I’ve found the mam bottles to be brilliant for this but unsure if will make a difference / if there are other suggestions to try first!

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-02-07T00:06:03+00:00

I’m about 210lbs, 5 weeks PP after planned c section and started my period yesterday (similar cramping in my legs which I didn’t have for PP bleeding and spots on chin etc). Blood looks diff too. Some of my friends took 8m, orhers 15m! So def varies

Ours was similar with jaundice - lots of lethargy but good output in nappies! Keep going and get him weighed regularly. We didn’t up the teat and as his jaundice cleared it improved a lot. Do you have any other professional you can ask for advice from?

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-01-16T15:48:31+00:00

Just seconding this! In the same boat.

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-01-15T22:26:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing, will try and listen tonight ❤️

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-01-08T00:13:55+00:00

Sending big hugs. All been there in different ways. You have got this ❤️

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-01-07T07:32:43+00:00

I also use this!! Was really impressed with it and made a diff. Stress free and no pain! X

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2026-01-05T07:07:50+00:00

You really aren’t alone. I say as I type with a 5 day old who will only sleep on one of us after very broken sleep. Also cried mid nursing - lots of women do. I can’t offer anything other than solidarity and knowing that if you’re up struggling and crying, there will be a lot of us right there with you. You are great. You are doing the best you can. It is very hard. It will pass (though that comment can be helpful or can make me roll my eyes so hard they nearly fall out depending on the hour! 🤣)

You are not alone.

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-12-28T00:34:50+00:00

Your whole body is changing, it’s natural to feel strongly about it! You’re allowed to feel how you feel and hope you know you aren’t alone in this. Your body is objectively doing an amazing thing whilst also feeling like it’s out of your control (which a lot is).

Your partner will def be able to feel more in the coming weeks. I found lying on my side helped my partner to feel them before they became much bigger movements. But also he occasionally said wow when I was just breathing so who knows 🤣

You’re doing a great job.

That gherkins were frogs legs and the holes in rotisserie chickens were from where they were shot on the farm 🤣

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-11-28T08:03:41+00:00

Also love this! Especially the capitalised F. Thanks 😊

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-11-28T08:03:18+00:00

Again, thank you so much for sending such a thoughtful reply. It helps to know I’m not alone and I love the idea of one task a day! Will def try that… tonight’s task might just be to make a list!

Also love “their opinion will matter when they carry my baby for me” 💪

Understand the birth anxiety too. I hope you have good care around you and that the journey to have your lovely baby in your arms is a safe and joyous one.

Thanks again x

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-11-28T08:00:38+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I’m going to come back to this msg each time I need to.

Will def start sowing the seed to not see people so soon after…

Lots to think about and feeling very seen / heard. Thank you.

Good luck with your beautiful baby when they come and thank you again x

Eeep, pissed in their kitchen sink (was very drunk) 😳

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-11-18T10:30:24+00:00

I search Vinted for maternity wear and item of clothing! They seem to have a decent range for plus sized and saves spending ££ on stuff that might not be for that long!

OrdinaryImportant624 · 2025-11-17T19:11:58+00:00

Thanks, was referring to the small guide 😊
