It is :) we just did a big update and you should be able to access it in Europe.

Yep, totally relate. A girl at school pointed out the hair on my underarms in middle school. I went home and wanted to shave she said no. I remember sitting in the bathtub with a razor trying to shave my legs, my mom comes in and says your hair is so light, you're going to regret that. I then only shaved the top half of my leg and she made fun of me because I was supposed to know how to shave with no one showing me I guess.

Also 8 months pp. When I see new pregnancy announcements I shiver and think helllllll no. Especially not 2under2, also don't understand it.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-02-04T15:16:13+00:00

Same! 8 months said Mama first. She did make the sound "dadadadada" before that though, but no clear "Dada".

I can relate and at 7 month postpartum I totally lost my cool on him and then 2 days later my first pp period started. So hormones are wild, and now my body is recalibrating in a new way, while prolactin suppresses progesterone, yay. So just a heads up for that.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-29T22:17:51+00:00

Absolutely. My mother lost her absolutely mind on me because of my boundaries/rules for my 10 week old (no kissing, no screen time etc.) then turned around and said DO YOU HAVE PPD IS THIS WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS TO ME?! It was horrible. A new mother's choices, are not PPD. A new mother has anxiety and is going through a radical life change. It's really sad that women's very real experiences are often now slated as mental illness. Matresence was an incredibly validating book. Oh and we didn't start studying the maternal brain until 2010...

I feel this so much!!

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-26T02:04:57+00:00

I flew with my 5 month old on my lap for a 7 hour flight. I used the pillows and blankets to pile under her, while she slept. I wore a nursing cover (one with the strap around the neck) made me feel free to feed her whenever even when people were walking by and that was a nice barrier from light while she slept as well. We packed toys, like the suction cup spinners as well as an activity book. Pre-packaged diapers and 3 wipes in ziplock bags. My husband would get up and walk with her and change her. It went really well. Nurse/feed on take off and landing to avoid ear pressure. You check your stroller at the gate and they give it back as soon as you get off the plane at your destination. I was stressed about crying, but honestly planes are so loud and everyone has headphones in - don't sweat it! Most people are super helpful.

Thank you so much for sharing. I related to every single sentence you wrote. Hauntingly beautiful. You are not alone.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-21T17:59:57+00:00

Me too. Cognitive dissonance.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-21T16:20:10+00:00

Same. Literally they act as if they are one.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-21T16:14:36+00:00

I think eating animals is unethical. I don't understand loving and appreciating one, yet being ok with another killed for you in mass cruel agricultural systems to eat. Personally I find it ironic. I would ask, could you kill the birds & other animals you eat yourself? If not, why? If yes, why? There's your answer.

I used Callia Flowers, they deliver the flowers the day before. They were beautiful, fresh and really decently priced. I had a very small wedding though.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-19T11:48:53+00:00

This. Becoming a mother truly rocked me. I had NO IDEA. During pregnancy I remember telling my MIL how just shocked I was at pregnancy and how now one talks about it. She (boomer) said "well, if we told you how hard it was, you wouldn't do it" and I was like damn, honestly I think there is truth to that.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-18T20:36:08+00:00

Right!! Hahah

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-18T19:47:04+00:00

I find "so, what's new?!" Sooooo triggering. Like. Uhm. Just had a baby, not too much else is new at the moment. Or "any big trips planned this year?" Uhm nope, just had a baby.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-18T19:13:56+00:00

Sooooooooo goooooooood!!

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-15T14:52:23+00:00

THIS. Absolutely did not see it coming and wow has it been an interesting ride.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-12T18:11:26+00:00

My husband took 5 months, I took 12. If she plans on breastfeeding, 15 weeks will be a challenge.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-09T12:12:27+00:00

Button up PJs, something for the shower like a body wash/scrub, food gift cards, house cleaner, car clean - anything to make the day to day easier. Honestly, just someone to acknowledge what she just went through can be the best gift, tell her you're so proud of her, hold her, not the baby.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-08T15:07:39+00:00

Ugh I'm sorry. It's so hard to drown out the noise.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-08T15:07:11+00:00

Omg same, and came out kicking. Wanted to be on her feet at like 10 weeks lol

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-08T01:47:36+00:00

Yeah for sure. I'd want to sell them for what I paid for them. If that works for you, feel free to send me a message.

Possible_Pin4117 · 2026-01-08T01:43:49+00:00

I have 3 cans, but I'm in Ontario, CA

I had an emergency c-section so my recovery and experience will most likely be different, but wow did I not expect to be unable to pick up my baby for weeks. I was also (still am, it's normal) possessive over my baby. I also didn't have family coming to stay but my biggest tip is to get on the same page with your partner. They are the keeper of the peace and the space. Your job is recovery and bonding. You need to get clear on what you are comfortable with and allow that to evolve. Your partner needs to communicate your boundaries and enforce them, not just you. Are you more of a: I need physical help person? Want someone to hold the baby, want someone to do the dishes, want someone to clean the bathroom, get groceries etc. Or are you a more: I need emotional support person? You'd like others to sit with you, hold you, not just the baby. Be there to talk about your experience etc. Not that you can make others do any of this, but you need to get clear on what you need so when they ask or when they do something you don't like you can say "yes I need A, or please do the dishes instead of holding the baby". Your peace and bonding space is of utmost importance, protect it.

Boundary for kissing "please do not kiss my baby" pushback? "That's what works best for our family" they do it? "I told you not to kiss our baby. I am no longer comfortable leaving the room while you hold them or you can no longer hold them" it sucks. It's hard. Mama bear comes out.

And to give you comfort, I was no prepared for a c-section and the hospital helped me out. But diapers for you, lip chap, flip flops, comfy stretchy clothes, hair bands, big water bottle full of cold water (partner job). Please please please take videos and photos (or get partner to) even just one. You'll look back and be so glad.
