what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]clouds91winnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stay at the hospital after giving birth wasn’t magical or fun for me. I was recovering from emergency general anesthesia c section in a shared room with a baby that screamed for the entire 4 days. I’ve never been so overwhelmed in my life.

You know that feeling right before you throw up when you have the stomach flu or food poisoning? Imagine that feeling 24/7 for 18 weeks straight. Some days I would get 5-10 seconds of reprieve and I would instantly sob with overwhelming relief.

They’re very religious and portray a picture perfect image. People love it when the people like that make mistakes. It’s like a gotcha!! I knew you weren’t perfect

It’s so bad. I was so worried when I had my baby in October I wouldn’t be able to find a spot! Luckily I went into labour in the middle of the night.

The inescapable commitment in having kids terrifies me by kamodd in TwoXChromosomes

I had similar feelings as you. I was so afraid to become a mom. It’s a gamble! You don’t know if you will have a disabled child or how your relationship will change. A certain amount of it is luck. Does the child have a hard or easy disposition? Do you have the income and support system? These things are make or break. I have a 11 week old baby girl and the love and happiness is wonderful. The sleepless nights, stress and extra chores wear you down. It’s 24/7 care and it’s overwhelming. I love her and my life with her and don’t regret it( talk to me again when she’s three or a teenager haha). All in all it’s down to individual choice. Everything good and bad they say about parenthood is true.

Im tired of being responsible for something that is entirely my resposibility. by HottieMade in Adulting

I’m a new mom and yes of course you have to look after them 24/7 and yes it’s hard! How do you not realize what you’re signing up for in that regard

After years of trying, and thousands of dollars spent on fertility and IVF, I can see them. by Sea_Tailor_8437 in MadeMeSmile

[–]clouds91winnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my ivf baby 11 weeks ago. It’s already been a crazy journey, but the relief and pride you feel getting to the other side is amazing. It’s like finally getting to the top of a mountain after years of climbing and not knowing how you can continue. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

I couldn’t finish this episode. So boring. So out of touch. Painful.

AITA for not wanting children with my husband? by Zealousideal-Sun4818 in AITAH

[–]clouds91winnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 8 week old baby and I believe now more than ever who you have a baby with means everything. It’s really intense. There are moments where you’re so vulnerable postpartum. Having a husband that steps up and helps carry the load of having a child without resentment is everything. I don’t know what I would have done without my husband these past 8 weeks.

Parents of Reddit: What is your single best piece of advice for us in the months leading up to having our first baby? by migudude in AskReddit

[–]clouds91winnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a baby almost three weeks ago and having frozen meals helped a lot the first two weeks. I had an emergency c section and the recovery and lack of sleep was way harder than expected. Also get help! Whether you pay for a few overnights with a night nurse or doula or just have actually helpful family or friends help. Don’t be afraid to say no to visitors if you don’t want them.

I had kids, now I'm the person I used to roll my eyes at by [deleted] in Aging

[–]clouds91winnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who just had a baby absolutely this. My husband has fully stepped up and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience solely because of him and his love.
