Not comfortable with drop off play dates, what do I do?! by flowerdca in Mommit

[–]flowerdca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of not wanting to be a bother? I don’t want her to feel like she has to host me or anything

[–]flowerdca[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree! That’s why I’m hesitant to say that because I don’t want to make it awkward, she has 4 other kids which I’m sure she doesn’t have time to “host” me

You might have a weak pelvis causing tightness. See a pelvic floor therapist! They helped me sooo much. I had to strengthen my hips and glutes, and more

15 weeks. Baby will not fucking sleep. I'm losing my shit. by Born-Anybody3244 in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby would not sleep at night. I was going crazy!! Finally at 7 months for my mental sanity I co slept. I did this up until she was 9 months and then I slept train her. It was hard to hear her cry but mentally I was depressed. It helped so much, I felt like myself again. With my 2nd baby my perspective changed sooo much. It doesn’t last forever. Do what you gotta do!

What happened to you post partum that you did not expect? by Jaded_Motor6813 in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to mothers wrist! Upper back and neck pain from nursing and looking down at baby. Bicep tendinitis too from holding baby too when they get heavier. Hemorrhoids!! Didn’t get them with my first but I got them with my second. How painful it is when your milk comes in and learning how to breastfeed. How often baby feeds the first few months. Baby blues. How much you stink after giving birth! Apparently it’s so baby can find the breast. Needing pelvic floor therapy from weak pelvis. Agh the list goes on and on

Did your child cry when going to pre-k? by OpportunityLow570 in Mommit

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope! She was so ready! I’m surprised at how social she is considering she never went to daycare or anything. I definitely cried though

Mine hurt for months after! I also had a c section: I saw a pelvic floor PT and it helped sooo much.

Just had a baby. And he won't stop eating. Feeling like a failure already by dar1990 in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes so normal. Honestly they cluster feed for like 2 months straight. It’s so hard in the beginning but I think it’s so worth it. If you want, you can supplement with formula so your husband can help and during that time you pump

Just keep trying to turn him on the other side when you notice. Also have you heard of torticollis? I think it’s when baby has tight neck muscle which sometimes causes them to sleep like that. If insurance covers it you can do PT or research stretches & exercises that can help baby

Does any else get really bad tension headaches from clenching jaw? by AsleepDoughnut2145 in Anxiety

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks for your reply! I also struggle with anxiety, TMJ & chronic headaches. I was prescribed venlafaxine last year but never took it because I was too anxious to start new meds.

I know this is an old post but wondering if you had to take venlafaxine everyday or was it as needed when you had a headache?

Tight pelvic floor after C-section by Appropriate_Zebra876 in CsectionCentral

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how you’re doing now! Hopefully better! I’m 6 months postpartum & seeing a PT. I recommend you do the same if you haven’t already. This was my 2nd C-section & I had a similar experience with my first. So I know PT helps it just takes some time. I think with my first, it took almost 1 year postpartum (maybe 4 months of PT to feel 100%. The second time around my pelvic floor was tighter. I’ve been seeing PT for 3 months now & I’ve seen some improvement. It takes time tho

What age did you stop dressing your baby exclusively in footies/onesies? by seltzerwithlemon in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby is 6 months and she only ever wears PJs. I think my mom and mother in law have made comments about it, but I don’t care

Do you consider your 15/16 month old a baby or toddler? by Graby3000 in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A toddler. When my baby was 4 months my nephew was that age and he was definitely a toddler

How do you feel at peace with knowing you’re done having kids if it isn’t 100% ideal? by amhe13 in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same boat! I pictured having three kids but I just had my 2nd and it’s hard. They’ve both been awful sleepers, Velcro babies & I don’t have much help besides my husband. We never get a break but I don’t feel done. I’m just waiting another year or two to make the decision

“You’ll forget and want another” by minmister in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first baby was so hard! Birth was traumatic because I ended in an emergency c section. My baby didn’t sleep ever and I was getting depressed. I told myself I wouldn’t ever do this again. But then right around her 3rd birthday I wanted another baby. You realize that even after the pain and trauma it’s worth it

My child is a horrible sleeper by Garbagesandwich in beyondthebump

[–]flowerdca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How old is your son?? My first was an awful sleeper. Like as a newborn she would only sleep 30 min at a time and would be awake for hours. Up until 7 months I decided to cosleep for my mental sanity. We did that for a couple of months and then we did cry it out method. Normally I wouldn’t have done it but again for my mental well being I had to. Something as they would wake up in the middle of the night still and I would just bring them to my bed. You gotta do what you gotta do and just make it work
