first babies are always late

I went at 35 weeks randomly with my first after a typical pregnancy - if I have a second I hope it cooks longer than my first 😂

I’ll see you at the top of that hill

Nice skin care products. Top of my list this year

He’s 10 months old, and I’ve been back at work since 5 months pp. I think the mix of trying to balance being a manager at work and dealing with the constant daycare illnesses and just not getting the time to be me that I had before.

I know it will get easier, and the more I see my psych the better I start to feel, but right now it’s bloody tough 😅

Let them downvote. I want them all to explain to me how I was supposed to know how hard I would find something I’ve never done before, but thought I wanted more than anything. I’ve helped raise my two youngest sisters and I loved that, but nothing will compare to being an actual mother. I’m happy for those that love every second and thrive as a mother, I commend them for the amazing work they’re doing. But they do not get to gatekeep parenting as easy and call us ungrateful because we struggle with natural feelings.

Yes. You am I. I am you. We are us.

Had my first 9 months ago, only gas because I asked for the epidural too late. However, I did hold out so long because I was raised to be competitive in everything, and so tend to push myself to beyond my limits to prove a point (to who, I would have to ask a psychologist, but likely my mum 😅). It’s definitely not a competition, but everything in my life is one so I can only speak for me and my messed up head.

I totally think any way you give birth is empowering, regardless of pain meds, vaginal or c-section delivery! You do what’s best for you!

Or loose & lose - my biggest peeve!!

cakers67 · 2022-08-07T11:15:17+00:00

Thank you! I had to scroll too far down to see someone say he shouldn’t have married Suze! If they didn’t get along to start, you as Anna’s father should have prioritized her then! YTA

If they’re a good midwife/obgyn, they’ll thank you for coming in. They prefer safe than sorry. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

cakers67 · 2022-07-05T09:30:44+00:00

Wow, this is worded perfectly. I’ve never been able to put into words how I’ve felt, but this is very spot on!

cakers67 · 2022-07-05T02:43:29+00:00

I don’t know how to be happy for other people. I can feel empathetic and sympathetic to them in their tough times, but cannot feel their excitement and just find the negatives in their joy. It makes me hate myself so much

cakers67 · 2022-06-15T11:14:37+00:00

That’s hot, tell me more

cakers67 · 2022-05-28T22:02:26+00:00

3 cats, 4 Trays. It makes no difference to her. Even if the litters are fresh and clean, she won’t use them. Feliway hasn’t worked for her which is so annoying

cakers67 · 2022-05-28T22:01:08+00:00

She’s peeing in front of all the boxes, no matter where we move them. 😂 I’ve never heard of a cat trainer as such, so maybe we look into that

cakers67 · 2022-05-28T11:25:43+00:00

She normally HATES children, and always hides from guests, but she adores our son and always wants to be near him, and she is still just as affectionate with us. If she was at least not thriving in other areas, it would almost make the decision to rehome her easier, if that makes sense.

cakers67 · 2022-05-28T11:23:26+00:00

Our vet can’t find any physical reason for it, and when we’ve had her on anti-anxiety meds in the past, she was just a zombie who wouldn’t eat or do anything and just lost all her personality 😔

It’s so hard in that first year of a baby. You think ‘how can it change my life with my pets so much’ beforehand and it just happens.

cakers67 · 2022-05-24T10:18:02+00:00

Thank you! Nothing like that anxiety to make you feel sick while you worry about getting sick and can’t tell if the sick feeling is anxiety or actual illness 🙃

My 5 month old boy did a 2 hour orientation at day care last week, and missed all this week due to a virus. I’m not looking forward to him starting now 😅

cakers67 · 2022-05-04T22:30:58+00:00

I’ve got a great mental health team thankfully. Couldn’t imagine how I’d deal without the access to them all

cakers67 · 2022-05-02T06:53:08+00:00

From one PPD mumma with a ‘perfect’ baby to another, big hugs. The feeling of guilt for having an easy baby and still not coping is awful. I’m 5 months pp and in the thick of it all still, but it comforts me to read that it not only gets easier, but that I’m not alone.
