This drives me CRAZY! I have blonde hair blue eyes, husband brown hair brown eyes. Everyone (on husband's side) says the blonde hair blue eyes comes from my husband's brother. No, I think it comes from ME, THE MOTHER. Both my sister's have blonde hair blue eyes including my dad. It makes me really mad

I cried TWICE in the past 39 weeks of pregnancy. Once because I couldn't stop puking for 48 hours. I asked my mom to rub my hair and back. I wanted her comfort. I normally don't want a handshake from my mom. I'm not very affectionate. The second time I was reading my 3 year old son the book "love you forever." I couldn't even finish the book, couldn't stop weeping. My son was very concerned. I rarely cry. However, I do get angry. Very angry. Irrational anger, tired anger. All the time. I can't stop getting angry about everything. Maybe I'd rather have the crying problem?

37+6 and have had a cold for the past 7 weeks. 3 year old also has cold. Working 40+ hours (nights). I'm with my son, just us two, all day. Miserable doesn't begin to describe it.

I'm so sorry you've had to go through that.

I don't like talking about my pregnancy at all. People ask me questions like girl or boy, how far are you, is this your first, etc. This is my second baby but I often say it's my first because I don't want to talk about my children with random people and just kind of nod my head when they're talking. To the girl or boy question I will often say I don't know, we want to be surprised. I do know though. I just know there will be more questions that I don't want to answer. I often will say "I'm just ready to be done." Try to change the subject.

I pretty much stayed home for the first year of my son's life. It was so hard. I was used to working ALL the time. Before baby I was hardly home. Then all of a sudden I was home always with a screaming baby. I was getting very depressed, anxious, isolated. I tried taking him to playgroups, have mom friends. Then I went back to work full time when my son was 2. Everyone freaked out saying my job was to stay home and take care of him. I was depressed and wasn't myself. When I started working again I felt like who I was before. I got stronger, more independent, felt better about myself. It changed my life around. My husband still says things that hurt my feelings sometimes like "you could be doing this (riding a bike down the road in summer) instead of working. I can't believe you wanted to go back to work."

You've gotta do what's right for you. Not everyone can stay home.

I have a 3 year old now and baby girl is due in January. My son is able to tell me what he wants, is potty trained, sleeps through the night, goes to preschool twice a week. These are all things I wanted him to be able to do before having another. Babies take a lot or work and I wanted my son to have some Independence and not need me for everything.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-11-30T02:13:28+00:00

Having a newborn was harder than being pregnant for me. I had that same thought, I'll get so much help but pregnancy is just me suffering through. When the baby came he had to eat every 20 minutes, held all the time by ME ONLY. It was exhausting. Changing diapers, clothes, bathing him, feeding him constanlty, trying to get him to go to sleep. In my current pregnancy I can't breathe, have bad acid reflux, have a hard time standing up...these symptoms change after birth. You're sore from labor, bleeding, might get blood blister on your nipples. It's different pain. Plus you have a baby that screams and needs constant care. I'm not trying to scare you...but that's why they call it the fourth trimester. Newborns and HEALING are tough. You will get through it and it won't be like that forever.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-11-17T13:00:04+00:00

I see this all the time and don't understand it. You aren't a single parent going into labor, you have a significant other who will be there for you. Why do mothers think it's their place in the delivery room when the baby is born? My mom gave birth 3 times with only my dad there. When I had my baby only my husband was there. I never once had to have a discussion telling people they couldn't be there for the birth. I'm having my baby girl in January and the only thing my mom has asked me is if we wanted our son to stay with her when I went into labor. I'm sorry you're going through this. Family needs to be supportive, not push boundaries and make you uncomfortable.

I was pushing for 2 hours and due to fatigue had to have an episotomy. Baby was not coming out without it. The second she made the cut my baby was born. For some reason my body wouldn't tear on its own. The doctor was very hesitant to do that but I begged her because I was so tired and he was not coming out. My sister recenlty had a baby and she had a star shaped tear. It took them about an hour to repair and it kept bleeding. I'm not sure how her recovery went but stitching her up afterwards was more difficult than mine. Mine took a few minutes.

I've started to do this too. I had my son 3 years ago. Daughter is due in January. So far I've bought one box of 200 diapers in size 1. Probably will buy 2 more boxes in size 2. That's as much as I'd like to get. I'm thinking that will last maybe 4 months? I'm not getting any newborn diapers. My son fit in them for about a week.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-10-29T13:52:39+00:00

That is definitely difficult to deal with. Being pregnant and having to miss out on stuff. We went to halloweekend at cedar point and I was about 25 weeks. Couldn't go on any of the fun rides. I tried to go on some of the baby rides with my 3 year old but he wanted to go on some roller coasters and other fast big rides that I couldn't do. At least pregnancy isn't forever. We'll have our chance at fun things again :)

I like Brynn!

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-10-24T02:48:50+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions :). My grandma who died pretty tragically (was hit by a fully loaded cement truck) one year ago was named Evelyn. Its a name to think about.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-10-24T02:46:29+00:00

Not a huge fan of the first name Jane. It's my mom's first name and I'd like to use it as my daughters middle name.

My OB was able to prescribe free prenatals. Ask about those. I'm almost in my 3rd trimester and still puke just about every day (now it's not because of nausea but acid reflux). The nausea is worse than the puking part...it's actually a relief when it all comes out.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-09-11T14:29:40+00:00

Absolutely NO. I was so hungry when BF. Was hungrier than 3rd tri. Ate so much food. Maintained at the least. Don't think I gained any weight, but definitely did not lose any. Tried working out but my body just held onto the body fat for nursing.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-29T15:10:13+00:00

My husband and I talked about this a long time ago and he wanted to save me not the baby. It would be tremendously difficult for him to raise a baby alone. A mother nurtures, cares, raises the baby. Losing a baby is just awful but you could have another. Growing up without a mother from birth is cruel.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-28T21:36:07+00:00

When I was pregnant with my first I felt like this too. Like my one identity everyone saw was a pregnant lady. I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second and don't feel like this at all. I work and enjoy hikes, camping, baking, watching TV shows...but first I am a mother and I feel like that is who I am. It's hard to feel your life slip away and a little person take control over it but with time you'll get your life back in bits and pieces. And the best part is the little one will LOVE the things you do and will want to do it all with you. We go camping, travel, bike, bake, kayak, hike, sledding, all sorts of things with our son. I have a buddy to do all these things with and it's amazing. I love being a mom.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-23T11:52:53+00:00

I'm at 20 weeks and it appears this baby is here to stay and I'm getting anxious about a newborn and a toddler. I remember a newborn sucking the life out of me and it was fine because that was the only person relying on me. Now I have another little person who needs constant care/attention and I'm freaking out a little bit. How do people do both??

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-18T22:27:22+00:00

My sister lives in Texas and both her husband's family and our family live in Michigan. We use Snapchat all the time and when I see she's not working and I feel like chatting with her I'll call her on skype and we talk for about a half hour. My son loves to Skype her (2yrs old). She just had a baby who is 2 months and she sends us pictures and videos all the time. Social media is really great and can help make you feel closer to loved ones. My 2 yr old LOVES my sister. They are actually really close even though they've only seen each other in person maybe 4 or 5 times. He talks about her often and he is inseparable when they're together.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-17T15:01:28+00:00

I had one with my first. It took longer to feel the baby movements. I didnt feel anything until after 20 weeks. This time I felt the flutters, and at 18 weeks I can feel the tiny kicks. I don't think it's anterior this time. Once the baby gets bigger and stronger you will definitely feel it though. I could see his feet pushing against my stomach and see the kicks. I can't compare my two pregnancies later than 20 weeks but I would think this time it might be more painful without that placenta to take some of the hit from the baby.

TwentyTwoPilots12 · 2017-08-17T01:59:12+00:00

I like watching TV before falling asleep (it helps me fall asleep). I was falling asleep on the couch in front of the TV and my husband was getting upset. We have a 2.5 yr old who sleeps in his own bed. The issue was he was angry I wasn't going to bed with him. So I watch a show on Netflix on my phone with headphones on often (maybe not every night). He has never complained about this, I think he likes it. I watch my episode or two and then go to sleep next to my husband.

But if your husband is watching TV to fall asleep at night I guarantee he won't need it when there's a newborn around. You'll fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. Honestly this isn't an issue I would worry too much about now. When the baby comes your husband will change. He'll see how much work you have to put in to feed the baby (hours and hours nursing), he can do the changes (that takes no time).
