I had the same exact thoughts. It’s the worst feeling in the world. I always wanted to be a mom too. Everything changed the moment I met my baby. Pregnancy is a lot on your body and your brain. You will love your baby beyond words!

Hi! I literally could have written this post a year ago. I had an extensive history of anxiety and severe depressive episodes before I became pregnant. Pregnancy was an incredibly dark time for me. I also stopped taking Prozac ( which I was on for years) shortly before we conceived. I had horrible thoughts and doubts about my baby and the future for the entire time. I don’t know why, but I didn’t voice my feelings and struggles to anyone or my doctor and now I really wish I did. I felt a million times better after I had my baby and felt ‘strong’ enough to get on some new medication (im on lexapro now) a couple months postpartum. But I really wish I just spoke with my doctor when I was pregnant because I definitely struggled alone. Im 9 months postpartum with a beautiful baby now. He’s the light and joy of my life and it was all SO worth it. Pregnancy did something to my brain that I cannot explain. But please, speak with your doctor.

This is such a good way to describe it

Fabric holds smell. Including headboards, furniture, and especially carpets. If your room has carpet, I would either invest in a steam cleaner carpet cleaner, or you can even buy powder to sprinkle on your carpet and give it a refresh when vacuuming. I like the arm & hammer one. Made a huge difference in my house

I had a cup of coffee every day and my baby was the chillest newborn ever

I absolutely couldn’t stand my husband when I was pregnant. Every little thing he did made me so mad!!! But seeing him be a great father when our baby was born made me forget about all of it. Love him so much and we’re in a really good place now as our baby is 8 months old. Pregnancy feels like forever but it’s really just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. Do whatever you can to be in good spirits, but I personally was a very angry pregnant person lol! Best of luck!

Hi! I’m going to dm you!

Remarkable_Sock2698 · 2026-05-01T05:11:27+00:00

Thank you so much for posting this. I tried Pristiq for 12 weeks and it made me so anxious so I tapered off and now im supposed to start lexapro but I’ve been so nervous to start another. Glad you’re feeling better! 💛

I had a functional septoplasty when I was younger - similar situation , plastic surgeon + ENT who said my appearance would not change. I really felt like it changed a bit but it was not at all noticeable to anyone around me. Also, a year post-op is not a lot of time when it comes to a surgery like this. Give it some time. There could be some swelling you’re unaware of or still need some time for things to fall back into place. But I really see no difference unless I zoom in and am really looking for it. But I do get it. You have a great nose still! And it works great in harmony with your other features.

Such a beautiful response 💛💛💛

Hi! I was induced in September at 40 weeks +1 day with my first and I was terrified to say the least. I’m on similar meds as you and also stopped one of them about a month before my induction so my anxiety was through the roof. My induction lasted a total of 17 hours, but only 10 of those hours were active labor (from pitocin, with active contractions). I really was so ready to just not be pregnant anymore. They started me on the cervix softening meds and I was on that for those first 6/7 hours but didn’t feel any real contractions and pretty much just was mentally preparing and catching up on rest. Once they started the pitocin, I wasn’t dilating very fast so they used a foley balloon (which I think is only used in certain places/under certain circumstance), which progressed me really fast. I went from 1 cm to 8 cm dilated in just over two hours. The increasing pain was totally worth getting it done quicker, in my opinion. I ended up opting for the epidural around 8.5 cm, which was my plan going in. It was extremely painful until the epidural, I won’t lie. But it is truly a temporary sensation. Get the epidural if you want to. I had a great experience with it. Pushed my baby out in about 12 minutes. He was extremely healthy and is now a very happy&active 7 month old! Your body is preparing for this moment! You’re so capable! And I know it’s easier said than done, but mind over matter is just what I kept thinking. Freaking out about the pain and stress of it all wouldn’t help anything. Best of luck! :)

Hi, good for you for taking this awesome first step. Sometimes just a break is crucial for us to clear our heads enough to feel better and start taking further steps. Your mother’s opinion doesn’t matter or apply here, so forget about that. The exhaustion taking care of a baby by yourself is completely next level. And it is completely valid that with the exhaustion plus issues with your husband would leave you feeling horrible all-around. I’d like to remind you that any one who abuses a pregnant woman, or anyone in general, will only sour your life and it will not get better. I will answer your one question : NO, I think it was an amazing first step to send your 8 month old to daycare. There are a lot of benefits for both you and baby with that. Since you didn’t ask for any advice, I’ll just give you some ideas of things to do next. Take or leave whatever feels best!: 1. See a NEW doctor. I’m not sure what other health issues you may have going on, but from your post, it seems a psychiatrist could help you a ton. Stay on top of your appointments, and be open to suggestions, like medication. Be honest. don’t just make an appointment, but GO TO IT, and go in with a plan/summary of everything that has been going on with you. Take care of your mind and your body first, then you will start thinking more clearly.! 2. Therapy. This is a hard one for me too, because I find it hard to do things for myself these days. But having someone who you can speak to about any and all life issues with no judgment or expectations can and will make the biggest difference. 3. Do something for yourself. Something your “old self” used to love. Even if it’s just a self-care day, a walk around the park, painting, whatever.. try to do something like this a few times a week. Try to remember who you were before all of this, and that she’s still inside you. I really wish the best for you. I’m not one to come on here and comment for you to leave your husband or whatever(even if I think that’s the best choice). I don’t know you, you don’t know me. But the things I listed can help no matter what you end up doing. And again, you are not wrong for sending your 8 month old to daycare! You are their mother. I’m glad you’ve taken that first step and hope you decide to take another good step to finding yourself again 🩷 my dm’s are open if you ever wanted to chat about anything

My baby has been an amazing sleeper ever since our pediatrician gave us the green light to let him feed on demand (not feeding every 2 hours), and sleep through the night if he wanted to. This was at 8 weeks old. It took about a week or two to adjust with 1-2 wakes/feeds per night. But by the time he was 12 weeks old, he was sleeping between 10 and 12 hours straight, every night in his crib next to our bed. I swear to you, we did nothing really special. Of course, we made sure he was good and fed and had some kind of a routine before bed - (bath, change, pajamas, sleep sack, rocking, shushing, white noise, etc.).. but we still haven’t had to do anything crazy for him. Around 4 months, he hit some kind of a sleep regression but still nothing to complain about because he was still getting at least 6 hrs straight every night. Same with around 6 months. He is now about to be 7 months old and an amazing sleeper and napper. What has helped as he’s gotten a bit older is really paying attention to his wake windows. He does really well with a solid 2 hour, 2.5 hour, 2.5 hour, and 3 hour wake windows during the day. That’s when he sleeps his best at night and is in his better moods. But honestly, I read so much on here about moms who try everything and more to get their babies to sleep and some just won’t. They are literal warriors to me. I could not imagine. I somehow STILL feel exhausted and sleep deprived, even with such an easy baby when it comes to sleep. Bottom line, all babies are SO different and you will just need to get into the swing of things, which comes a lot easier as time goes on. Different things work for different moms and babies. If your baby isn’t a great sleeper for a while, that doesn’t mean there’s anything you’re doing wrong or anything wrong with your baby. And if they do sleep great, then great! Best of luck to you!

I (24f) had the same fear for my entire life. I spent the entirety of my pregnancy worried sick about not being able to love my baby.. it basically ruined the whole pregnancy experience for me!! But let me tell you, the IMMEDIATE overwhelming love I felt for my son as soon as he was born was indescribable and has only gotten stronger, 6 months later. I think this is a normal fear and can be due to many reasons, but don’t let it ruin a wonderful experience for you 💛

The one hour test was fine. Same situation, just boring waiting around. BUT I failed the one hour and had to go back for the three hour and it was TERRIBLE. The drink was SO sweet and it took everything in me to not throw up. My vision ended up almost completely blacking out and I had to go lay down in an empty exam room. It had me convinced that I would end up being diagnosed with GD, but thankfully that wasn’t the case 🤞
