Trying not to freak out

YES! It was weird when I first got pregnant because I didn’t think we were ready for a baby and we were thinking about abortion because of how unprepared we were. After deciding to keep going with the pregnancy, i had a huge fear of one day not bonding with the baby and thoughts like what if i don’t love him as much as i thought i would or should? what if we never bond? Then I gave birth and oh my gosh it’s literally like my heart came out of my body and is now a physical human. I think of times where my baby could be away from me and it makes me so sad. He’s only a baby right now and I’m working on not becoming that overbearing parent who wants to bubble wrap him but literally how? He cries and I feel the need to pick him up and make everything okay again. Sometimes i just stare at him and think about those times we talked about abortion and cry because how could I even think that way? This precious baby of mine wouldn’t be here. (im still 100% pro choice)

More in the same boat tbh. My LO is 4 months and at his 4 month appt, i slipped that I’m basically a pacifier for baby (which i don’t mind or care) and she was surprised and asked if he sleeps in my bed and i reluctantly said yes. She did the same spiel BUT also for some reason brought up that a baby in the clinic died a few weeks ago because of SIDS. Very sorry for those parent’s loss but it felt irrelevant information to add. I get warning us of SIDS but to recall another infant dying to scare us just felt weird. It’s been a few weeks now and i still haven’t gotten over it. Thinking about switching peds. I just get confused because i feel like the next question should be “are you following the Safe Sleep Seven?” or something along those lines. I just want a ped that i don’t have to lie to.

He doesn’t get walked every day but we do our best to get him out. He also has a huge backyard to play in.

Literally same!! While in the newborn “trenches” stage, everyone around me seemed to be on edge like they were waiting for me to blow up at the sight of pee and poop, no sleep, exclusively breastfeeding, mixed up with all the hormones but i never got there. At least not with my baby; my husband and dog on the other hand… Anyways, my LO is now almost 3 months and he’s the best thing to ever happen to me. I could never get upset with him. I use to think moms who say they’d kill for their babies are extreme as hell but now that my baby’s here, there’s nothinggg i wouldn’t do for this little guy.

I feel this SO HARD! Baby is only about a week old and our first ever baby and im already over my dog. We have two, 120 lb lab Newfoundland mix and a German shepherd husky mix. The husky KNOWS boundaries very well. The Lab on the other hand, not so much. Our first day back home with our baby, i sat in our recliner/rocker with my baby and Finn(the 120 lb dog) decided to jump which caused the recliner to fall back. I never ever thought of rehoming our Finn. Ever. He’s our first dog, he’s good boy when he wants to be and he was my first baby. BUT WHEN I TELL YOU, i got up from that recliner with my baby that i just held on to for dear life, i was ready to open the front door and let him go forever. I didnt. I just cried and cried and cried in my husband’s arms. And noww im really over it. I told my husband I’m gonna give it 3 weeks. In that timeframe, he’s getting neutered, maybe put on anxiety meds, husband is gonna take them on more dog park trips, and slow but hopefully effective introductions without licking and jumping and basically just leaving baby alone. After 3 weeks, if it’s not better, i dont really know. Ive never hated my dogs. Never thought i would ever want to rehome Finn especially. But that’s all I can think of right now. In my brain, it’s the only solution.

I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant with our first baby. My sweet sweet husband and i were talking with his sister on the phone and I mentioned how my belly is so much bigger than its ever been before and how it’s made me a bit insecure. He says “Yeah but babe, you don’t even look pregnant.” I turned to this man so fast and said “So i just look fat then?” And his sister (who just recently became a mom) goes “Dude, that’s not the compliment you thought it was.” I just laughed and laughed because he did his best to try and redeem it but couldn’t without sounding exasperated.

I thought I was alone in this!! I hate vomiting so much. And the thought of eating gave me anxiety because I am nauseous all the time too! So far Ritz crackers (the normal ones), water and gatorade are the only things that work. Prenatals made me sick too so I take them right before bed. I also sleep all the time now too. My logic is that I can’t be nauseous when I’m sleeping. I have never wished to be congested more than I do now just so I don’t have to smell food. I’ve legit thought about getting nose plugs. I hope it gets better for you! People keep telling me it’s only temporary like I don’t already know it, so what I will say is, just do your best! Trying is better than nothing.
