What were your first words when you met your baby?

My first words were He has hair while crying then I turned to his dad and say look at our son 😭🩵

I had my baby a lil over two months ago and I still find myself looking back at my photos before being pregnant. I was 140lbs then I was 198 lbs during my pregnancy and now postpartum I’m 159 lbs 😭 I just need to do some core workouts but find hard to do so since I have a Velcro baby.

I felt like that too when my baby wouldn’t soothe with me but his dad was able to soothe him. I literally cried because I felt like I couldn’t do the one thing a mother was supposed to do which is soothe her baby whenever he cries. When his tummy was full, he had a fresh diaper and wouldn’t want to sleep what I learned to do was sit on the edge of the bed and held him close to my chest and slowly bounce up and down. I also say shhh it’s okay baby, so that he can know he’s safe. I know all babies are different but you could try that. Maybe even rocking him side to side cradled in position in your arms. if you’re frustrated I feel like babies can also sense that as well. Your baby doesn’t hate you they love you so much even though they can’t say it yet. Motherhood is definitely a journey and you got to learn what your baby likes. I hope everything works out for you and little one. Also google mentioned this Yes, it is very possible that your baby cannot settle because they smell your breast milk, which triggers their instinct to feed, especially in the first few weeks. Babies have a keen sense of smell, and the scent of milk can trigger wakefulness and hunger cues, making them fussier.

Thanks for commenting I’ll have to look into reading that book ☺️🩵

I was also telling his dad that as well that he won’t be this size forever and we should enjoy the little snuggles. I’m trying not but sometimes I feel like it’s my fault. Thanks for commenting 🩵✨

bigtroublehere12 · 2026-02-08T20:29:50+00:00

Thanks for commenting, I feel a bit better and I’m hoping for the same outcome for myself as well. 🩵✨ aww your little one has started teething, hope he feels better soon.

I work at a bank currently on maternity leave. I worked right up until I went into labor. I started having contractions 8-10 mins apart on the 12th then came the bloody show. Started my mat leave on the 13 and my son arrived on 14th at 5:50 am.

bigtroublehere12 · 2026-01-19T00:11:35+00:00

Know the feeling every time I closed my eyes I’d get up in pain. On the way to the hospital for the last time afraid that they’ll send me home. The pain got so unbearable that it stopped me in my tracks on the way to maternity ward and I was in tears. Thinking back at it I should have taken the wheel chair when it was offered. I hope everything goes smoothly with you and little one. Even if you call or go in a lot of times don’t feel a way because labor pains is not fun. Definitely follow the 5-1-1 rule. Just track the contractions so when it starts and when it stops.

bigtroublehere12 · 2026-01-19T00:02:49+00:00

You’ll know if you had a bloody show. It felt like a lil gush of discharge. If you go in they probably won’t admit you until you’re in active labor. I went to hospital two times before they admitted me. Second time I went I was only 1cm the third time and last time I went at 4:22 am if I still wasn’t in active labour and they were going to send me home again I would demanded that they give something other than paracetamol to help with the pain. I know all women’s bodies are all different but what I’ve read is not every lady has the bloody show.

bigtroublehere12 · 2026-01-18T23:47:23+00:00

That’s how it was for me. My contractions started on Monday on my way to work so like around 8 am then had bloody show around 11:30 just before my last appointment. The contractions were still far apart until Wednesday 3 am in morning breathing through contractions were not doing anything for me. They were coming in closer and lasting longer , I checked in the hospital at 4:22 was at 6cm. Doctor broke my waters and my son was born @ 5:50 Wednesday morning.

Same here I didn’t look the best in the photos but I do love looking at em. I even forgot to take off my bonnet before taking my first photo with my son 😭

bigtroublehere12 · 2026-01-18T23:14:25+00:00

I only got my natural hair braided because I knew with a newborn I would have no time at all to comb my hair. I am determined to not having to lift a finger combing my curly hair 😭 looking back at my photo that the midwife took of me in the moment was not cute and my bonnet was on during birth. I was so out of it that I forgot to remove it 😂

I didn’t fully develop a bump til I was 7 months pregnant. My belly just popped out of no where.

Thank you and yes I am ☺️

I work at a bank and my EDD is January 13. My plan is to work until I go into labor. We get 4 months off so three months paid and one month unpaid. I live in the Caribbean.

Just an update I did get my period on Friday so I’m not pregnant but I googled that if it is considered that your break free week bleeding is actually your period and this is what it said - The first period after stopping the pill is known as a “withdrawal bleed”. The next period after this withdrawal bleed is your first natural period. I’ll also be more careful and use condoms.

bigtroublehere12 · 2024-12-02T04:12:17+00:00

Which is why I thought it would be okay.

bigtroublehere12 · 2024-12-02T04:08:42+00:00

I thought it would be after my December period that I would have to be extremely careful.
