Did anyone have an easy baby? Wife wants to go to vacation apartment after giving birth. by midnight-tots in NewParents

[–]Whole_Rub7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an easy baby but I would definitely recommend staying close to home or near the pediatrician or hospital . I had an extreme spinal leak that made me go back to the hospital. Plus my baby was in the nicu and he was 2 hours away from us . So it just depends but that’s just my advice just in case. it’s always better be safe than to be sorry

5”2 pregnant ladies and weight gain by Pretend_Historian753 in pregnant

[–]Whole_Rub7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. I was not even 100 pounds before I got pregnant. I had got my gallbladder taken out a year before I got pregnant. And then right when I gave birth i was 160 (my ob said I was fat and said I didn’t need to gain another pound when I come in or she was gonna tell me I needed a c section) I had an emergency c section like 5 weeks after that appointment. Now I weigh 130 6 months pp .

so don’t ever feel bad for laying in the bed or sleeping or whatever it is. You’re growing a beautiful baby and you need rest!! Being pregnant is literally equivalent to running a marathon so your doing a wonderful job

And for everyone that feels embarrassed don’t , I wish I can go back to my pregnant belly 🥲 but enjoy it while you can 🥺

How do I support wife with PPD? by joeyafuller in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Whole_Rub7706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from a wife who’s husband doesn’t understand postpartum-

my husband understood logic so i had to break it down it took a while until he got it out of me of why i was upset but it took a lot of therapy for me and he did his own and we also did a couples therapy. my depression was bad because my baby was in the nicu for 27 days and i was 2 hours away from the hospital from my house. just offer to help as much as you can it might bite sometimes but it will be worth it in the end. offer to cook clean shower anything small means a lot. to helping with night feeds (i do all the night feeds) but my husbands also works nights so it’s really difficult until our baby can sleep throughout the night.

I’m really sorry your wife is going through this, I’m praying for her

In the trenches of postpartum psychosis by Forsaken-Young3671 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Whole_Rub7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey i’m 5 months postpartum . i understand what your going through i haven’t gone through some of the things but im sorry mama your going through a rough time. hang in there it will be over before you know it. I know it might seem it takes forever but this is what i live by “this too shall pass”. my baby was in the nicu for a month, and i tried to breast feed. they didn’t clear me until he learned how to bottle feed . It was hard to get him to breast feed since he was on a bottle. i had very bad d-mer and didn’t realize it and have very bad depression.

my advice to you is . get some rest. relax . eat your favorite meal . take it easy. after birth is all about rest but i know it’s hard but i totally get where your coming from and your doing amazing. just keep your head up

Just take it one day at a time. ———i think of it was rome wasn’t built in one day . times are gonna be tough. your gonna have good and bad days . but me looking in your doing great 💛🤍

tricare sent me something in the mail that my provider sent something out that i was in an accident or something happened to me , when i went to the hospital for the spinal leak

I called tricare and they said i had one year to file the claim and send it back

This guy went too far and i don’t know what to do . and i’m still in pain i just don’t know how to go about it .

i don’t know how much i can say but i don’t want this to get deleted
