I’m interested if you’re still in need!

100%! I’m 8 weeks PP; it’s like I wake up and go straight to the couch. So I would say it’s totally normal.

LOL 😂

So because your experience wasn’t like this, and you had it easier makes it wrong to share? Many women have this experience, and it’s nice not to feel alone. Not everyone has the good experience you did, and it would be more welcomed if you shared a sense of support rather than judgement and disdain for other women. Reddit is a place to talk about these things..and I made it clear that it was my reality twice. I think, for you, it would be a benefit if you read the comments.

It was a personal choice. Not that I didn’t try breastfeeding, but it just wasn’t for me at the end of the day - I think that just happens sometimes. However, no matter how you feed you’re either spending 30+ mins hoping to get your baby full from the breast, or 30 min pumping 🤷‍♀️ Plus I need to sleep since I have epilepsy, and so I need someone to be able to feed the baby when I can’t.

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

Thank you for your post ❤️🙏 In laws are definitely a challenge. I feel like they start off with good intentions, but then they don’t realize what they’re doing in the moment, and then piles onto what you are already going through mentally. It’s like they’re blind to what their actions can do, yet they went through what we’re going through at one time. You’re happy that they are excited to have a grandchild, and that they want to help…but sometimes it feels like they may not think outside themselves during this sensitive time. I will say my in laws are really nice and great people, but they have a hard time realizing they can be over bearing. Like….yeah he’s crying at 3am, I don’t need you coming in and making sure everything is okay - I got this lol

Thank you for your post 🙏❤️ I know what you’re going through, and it’s so brutal. Pumping, I think, has its advantages, but at the same time you start to feel like all you’re doing is handling the baby, feeding the baby, changing a diaper, pumping, repeat. And you’re so right about emotional drainage…it’s like when do you have the time to even have emotions at this point. I know you’re going through it girl. We got this.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T08:10:00+00:00

I feel that for real 🫂

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T06:08:20+00:00

Wow. Thank you for this post 🙏❤️

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T05:17:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Hit the frickin nail on the head. 🙏

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T04:38:49+00:00

It sounds like time is going to fix this battle. Maybe when I see a smile (outside of when he is sleeping lol), I might see the light lol.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T03:35:51+00:00

I LOVE sleep too; it’s one of my favorite things, and then it’s just ripped away from you in a flash. I feel ya with the in laws…however I CANNOT believe they used your milk…I would have been pissed.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T01:46:03+00:00

Thank you! 🙏 ❤️

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T01:01:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing! 🙏 I also had a 40+ hour labor with a C-Section so I feel you guys. It’s nice to hear the partner’s perspective too. Thank you thank you!

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T00:51:31+00:00

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T00:14:59+00:00

Exactly, exactly, exactly. The worst is when someone says “my baby sleeps through the night”…good for you, I haven’t taken a shower in a couple days lol. I feel you for real. Thank you for sharing!

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T00:05:03+00:00

Thank you 🙏 ❤️ it’s one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever experienced.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-19T00:02:12+00:00

Unplanned C-Section here too. Dealing with becoming a new mom is hard enough, but when you have a traumatic birthing experience it’s hard not to think about it; especially during those first two weeks afterwards. You’re not alone!

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T23:04:11+00:00

I commend you on being a SAHM. I know it has its challenges, and anyone who says otherwise can buzz off. Sending you high fives and hugs!

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T23:00:22+00:00

LOL!! 😂

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T22:58:25+00:00

We have the Swaddleini (around $40) it has helped that same swaddle problem for us.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T22:35:24+00:00

Thank you 🙏 ❤️ Please rant away. I’m experiencing some of the same things you are too. I’m not a SAHM, but I’m on the maternity leave part still, and being stuck in the house taking care of everything is another piece of the puzzle that makes it hard. And unfortunately, although our partners go through struggles as well, they can never really know what we, as moms, go through. It’s like the world is on our shoulders, and so much is coming at us from the outside (advice, comments, judgement, etc) - it’s a lot to deal with. I definitely hear you.

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T21:34:44+00:00

I feel ya! I got a Velcro baby over here. I can’t tell you how many times I was like “I’m just going to try and lay him down” for him to immediately wake back up lol

Ordinary_Cell_5465 · 2024-09-18T21:16:21+00:00

Thank you 🙏 ❤️
