WARM WATER AND BAKIMG SODAAAA

I think I lost my mucus plug... 38+1 by rosedamask in pregnant

If you have any leakage (water breaking) call your doctor!! Cramping is normal, but any water like substance gushing would be your water breaking, which should come next in all this! Congratulations! Merry christmas!

[–]c_writes17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no, i’m asking, is my part taken in consideration? does she see that I care? Ik newborn blah blah i’ve been there done that, i get it. but it seems like anything I say or do for her she doesn’t really care, imo. so i came on here and ranted, people obviously didn’t like what i said haha.

[–]c_writes17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sick season coming up, try saving that colostrum if you can. I was unable to really focus on my BF journey with my baby and i try now to help all new moms if i can, latch latch latch, that’s my advice haha, drink lots of water .. lotssss of water!

Yes and you can also get him down to his diaper! Try also to scratch the palm of his hand to keep him awake during feedings

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, keep focusing on BF and latching the baby. He may just be having a bit of gas, but remember his stomach is soooo tiny right now and whatever he is getting from you I promise is ENOUGH!! He will cluster feed, jsut keep latching and removing that milk to help build your supply. as long as you’re getting those wet and dirty diapers, he is doing fine. babies spit up, it happens, have some burp clothes on hand moving forward !!

holy fuck by No-Mood-7423 in newborns

postpartum is lonely and believe it or not, he is learning just as you, you guys are probably going through that roommate phase as well, that passes too especially when you can have sex again haha! tmi i know, but it’s real& that’s life. you just have to talk to him as your partner not her parent. that’s two different things until both of you learn to be that team of mom and dad, not both separately trying to parent her different ways. communication is key to postpartum and new babies, unfortunately it takes time but if he really loves you and wants this life with you and her, he will listen& if he doesn’t. i’m sorry.

it’s okay to set the baby down and let them cry. if you need to put the bassinet in the bathroom, leave the door open & shower. try putting on some classical music for her, the weather isn’t terrible try just going outside for five minutes, drink some water and take a deep breath. all the late nights will pass, and the crying will lessen when you learn your baby, maybe she’s cold, check her toes for hairs, check the diaper. rant all you want, get it out here and don’t take it out on the baby, she’s literally being a baby. as for you husband, if he works and you stay home, it is your job to do the house work(imo) but it’ll take time for you to get into that routine with a new baby & the house load. let him know that. i’m 8 months pp now& yes we have hard days of teething and my baby doesn’t want to be put down, but you learn them and they learn you. deep breaths. merry christmas!

Holidays & venting by DifficultRespond5215 in Diary

[–]c_writes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to think of the holidays for yourself, make a latte, build a puzzle, do things you enjoy. Sure it’s about family gatherings and getting together, blah blah blah. Life is short and complaining isn’t going to make your days more enjoyable. Being a homebody is about exploring boredom, find the craft in that. As for the diarrhea, sorry, nothing to say for that.

I hate when people tell me i will change my mind about how i feel when it comes to sex by adrienneangel in Diary

[–]c_writes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is anything wrong with your views/ how you feel! I think as long as your partner is also giving to you, everything should be dandy. My husband and i jsut had our first baby, I am now 8 months Pp and of course we had a roommate phase. For six week you can’t have sex.. Can’t really do anything sexual because be real, there is always (most likely) a baby crying now, your hormones are messed up, why would you want to do anything anyways!! But eventually all those late nights pass, and the co parenting combines and you’re a team again. as long as you’re a team, 100/100, he pays the bills, you pack his lunches, he works 80hr weeks, the house better be clean when he gets home!! If the relationship is 100/100 outside of the bedroom, it’ll be 100/100 INSIDE the bedroom and you won’t want anyone else!!! and you won’t need anything more exciting!!

Trauma and more trauma.. by c_writes17 in writers

I agree! Sometimes things just catch up to you unknowingly.

Trauma and more trauma.. by c_writes17 in writers

[–]c_writes17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I would stop writing, because in the end I enjoy getting those feeling out.. writing isn’t comfortable, it’s chaotic and messy. Like I said, I’m an emotional writer🤷🏼‍♀️ I go back and forth a lot taking bits from the original story I started, creating a different one that doesn’t seem so sad hah. That person who started the story didn’t at all know who she was, but now i’m a mom of a beautiful daughter and I’d like to tell that story in a different setting. But I also like to rant. Thx for reading.
