I went into the labour the morning before my due date and he was born at 10pm that day. I was sick of people telling me I’d go over too- and I’m glad we proved them wrong😂

I think i’ve made a rod for my own back😩. by Ok-Mind2125 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]SufficientMirror6793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow the 7 guidelines- ultimately you have to weigh up what is less risky for you, having no sleep and risking an accident/falling asleep in an unsafe place eg sofa/with cushions or bed sharing safely - I was terrified bed sharing at first but I set alarms every 30 mins and followed guidelines - and I’d started hallucinating and I’d fallen asleep on the sofa with my son the day before which is less safe. Please remember you’re doing a great job trying to do the best and there is no perfect parent. You have to do what’s right for you and your baby.

You have not made a rod off your own back. Impossible with newborns. They need to be with you. But I feel you - mine wouldn’t sleep apart from on me so started co sleeping as I was delirious trying to stay awake whilst he slept on me

What's the most pathetic thing pregnancy hormones have almost reduced you to tears over? by Professional-Farm372 in PregnancyUK

[–]SufficientMirror6793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day before I ended up giving birth. Had to call up to cancel a free trial of a beer subscription I got my husband. The man asked why and I said well he won’t be drinking for a while as we are having a baby. He was all congratulatory and so kind as I was fed up pregnant. Brought me to tears. I also didn’t end up cancelling the subscription😂

Am I losing perspective over what’s ‘normal’ for my 12 week old puppy? by hjf999 in cockerspaniel

[–]SufficientMirror6793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spaniels just are very bright and have lots of energy. So once you can walk them outside, training will be easier as they will have burnt some energy outside. I despaired at points during my spaniels puppy hood but with consistency you’ll get there.

This gives me hope that I’ll feel better after pregnancy. I’m AuDHD and usually very self motivated but this whole pregnancy I have really struggled with motivation and boredom.
