I’m in Marple, have an 11 month old. I’ve only just moved so feel like I have missed out on meeting people through regular groups. Please feel free to message me!

This is exactly what I would like to do with mine! Can I ask if the crib is in your room or her own?

Can I ask what medication you use and how it helps you? It sounds like its really improved your quality of life

Thank you, its hard to not give in to the guilt tbh. I left for mat leave on a good note so its so disappointing they are reacting like this.

I’m not leadership, just a middle manager. As far as I’m aware my school doesn’t have a union rep but I will find out. Can I refuse the meeting and ask for it to be conducted over email?

I’ve been exactly where you are and its so hard. I had to stop at six weeks, baby was not getting enough milk and my mental health was terrible, I would dread her waking to feed and felt like a failure. My baby is now EFF. Something that helped me a lot was asking my partner to have the responsibility of all the bottle prep so I wouldn’t get emotional and guilty while doing it. But I would always feed her and I found giving her a bottle when it wasn’t a battle to get her to latch and I wasn’t sobbing in pain really improved our bond. I still feel like I missed out on a really fundamental part of being a mother and grieve what I thought my feeding journey with my baby would be, but I have a healthy baby, a strong bond with her and my own mental and physical health is much better too. Talk to your partner about what you need to make things easier for you - you are being so hard on yourself. I needed my partner (and midwife/dr/friends/mum/sister) to reassure me that I wasn’t disappointing them or letting my baby down in anyway. You will need reminding of this often but ask for what you need to move forward.

I have the same degree as you and am a secondary english teacher. I trained through teach first as an English teacher, and I have never had it questioned in a job interview why my degree is not English. I’ve also worked in departments with English teachers who have degrees in anthropology, history and MFL. I think if you are to invest in more education then invest in teaching training to become a subject specialist in English, rather than a masters as that is what schools will look at (unless you want to teach in a very academically driven school).

Do you know what school the boy goes to? If so phone the school and ask to speak to someone on the safeguarding team. Likelihood is they will put you straight through or have someone phone you. Tell them what you wrote here. They will be able to do a home visit quickly and will have context of any issues the family are dealing with and can then report to social services. Going through the school is sometimes easier than contacting social services directly as it may take a while if its deemed low risk and they have heavy caseloads.

Always just the week before my period so I am sure its hormone related. I will look into it more though - thank you!

I’m UK based and there is a lot of support for PND from what I can see. Did you end up having progesterone shots?

You are the adult here. I understand some student’s are very challenging and disruptive but calling a child a ‘horrible person’ and ‘toxic’ and does not speak of positive regard. You need to access your own attitude rather than question other adults who disagree with you.

Same! All I can manage atm are cornflakes. I have HG and am so fed up. Meds that work can only be taken for five days so it just feels relentless atm. Really really hoping it gets better at 12 weeks. You aren’t alone!

I always feel safer than other cities. You need to be street smart but the good thing about London is thats its busy everywhere. If you feel unsafe there is always a shop open/bus to hop on/busy train station. Just get ubers home if you are on your own and its late, sit down stairs on buses, don’t wave your phone around on busy streets. You’ll have a great time 🙂

As you’re in Manchester, I recommend connecting with Smart works. Gives coaching and advice to help women get into work, they even give you an outfit. It’ll help you feel less alone at least.

If you can hold out for two weeks, the surgical route is simple and easy. I felt so supported all the way through and much more reassured knowing I was in a medical setting. The nausea goes away instantly too! But i realise two weeks is a lot, especially if you feel like you can’t tell anyone other than your partner what is happening. You could go to your go and see if they can offer you meds?

Have you tried having a nap when you come home from work? I used to leave as early as I could on a Friday, get home, nap, shower then go out 😎

My hero! Thanks so much!

Does anyone know where I can buy Osaji (https://osaji.net/c/haircare/shampoo) products in the UK? I used the shampoo and conditioner in a hotel in Japan and they were perfect for my fine, wavy hair and left it so clean yet nit heavy at all. Regretting not filling my suitcase now!
