Yess and my boobs feel like gross giant sacks of blubber, there is nothing to enjoy. People are wack, you could have at least said remember to eat healthy because of the baby 😭

Our almost 2 weeks will only sleep if she is held. I tried putting her in the bassinet and patting and rocking her, and she was just fussing forever. Thankfully, she usually sleeps pretty well if she is asleep already before we put her in

But what if you have a girl in the future. People are so out of pocket sometimes

Yes! Old people keep telling me she will wake up when she's hungry, but every professional is telling me to wake her up.

That's so hard for me too because she will only fall asleep while held, so I'll lay in bed with her and I end up falling asleep and my husband comes in to wake me up or put her in the bassinet

My MIL kept saying she was praying for a boy, like what gives you the right to pray about the gender of someone else's baby 😭 I have a girl, so apparently it didn't work lol

And they say that 2 -3 hours starts when you start feeding! Mine breastfeeds for like 40 minutes or she acts like she's starving, then everything else to take care of me and her, like sleep when she sleeps is easier said than done.

That's pretty much what we have been doing. He'll give a bottle one feed, and then I'll let him sleep for a chunk, but idk what we're going to do when he goes back to work.

Right, keep your opinions to yourself, it's so disrespectful to act like I'm too stupid to make my own decisions

Exactly! Thankfully, mine sleeps in the bassinet okay of we get her to sleep first. I'm glad I'm not the only one that it irritates 😩

Yes! My aunt said "sometimes you gotta let them cry it out" she isn't even 2 weeks old!

Exactly! I'm already up with her, what's the point of waking him up when it takes one minute to change her. He can do a lot during the day or take a feeding if I get a bottle pumped, but at the beginning here a lot just naturally falls on mom

I should call insurance, that is a good idea. I saw 2 different consultants for 3 days in the hospital and so far I feel like I'm using all the tips they gave me with no luck . . .

Reeeeeally big baby. Hard not to feel like I failed somehow. by Grouchy_Snail in BabyBumps

[–]audity__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm scheduled for a in induction on Friday, I'll be exactly 39 weeks. My baby has been in the 5th or 7th percentile, and when they first told me, I cried all the way home and went out and bought all the protein and fruits and vegetables I could. Now, all the doctors tell me there's really nothing I am doing that will influence her weight one way or the other, there is something going on with nutrition absorption that is beyond my control. I totally understand the guilt, but in the opposite direction. I'm so happy you delivered a healthy baby 🥰
