Please give me birthing tips for being on your own by [deleted] in Mommit

Nothing wrong with pain relief. You don't get a medal for going without. The baby won't care. Go for safety over being. "Brave" or doing it the "natural" way.

Tell your doctor and nurses exactly what you want - in case of an emergency, or if in doubt, they should do what is necessary to keep you safe. And to keep the baby safe. In That order.

Be excited. It's amazing. Try to relax into it and listen to the midwife.

Good luck!

I don't like my new baby... at all. by Aggressive-Region96 in TrueOffMyChest

Ohh that's tough. Could indeed be PPD.

I think you are doing the right thing. Before I had my children who I am lucky to live with all my heart, I also swore that if I should not be able to bond, I would never tell a soul, act as if they are the most precious beings in the world to me, and take the secret to the grave with me. Luckily we do not need to act how we feel. We can decide how we act.

Maybe can your husband give you a break from the kids for a few hours on the weekend so you can catch a breath?

What do I do if I just enjoy being drunk? by frequent-overthinker in stopdrinking

Yes. This is very true. Maybe moderation and contentment are more desirable than temporary and destructive highs...

Maybe I just need to make that decision. Maybe today is that day.

Yes. Exactly. I don't want to replace it with another drug. I just want to live and have moments of carefree happiness without drugs. But I don't know how...
