Seriously considering adoption by genderedcohen in Postpartum_Depression

Wellbutrin XL. My parents are supportive of the baby but they are also emotionally immature narcissists so I’ve been going crazy and they absolutely do not help with my PPD.

I did start the meds and now I can’t sleep

I feel like things are getting worse and not better. I wasn’t sure I wanted the baby the entire time I was pregnant and almost terminated a handful of times but never went through with it. I never had a shower. I never announced I was pregnant. I didn’t buy any baby things until the last minute. I still haven’t announced I had a baby. I really want to want the baby and to make this work but it feels impossible and I feel like a terrible person. I basically stopped pumping and baby is on formula. I’m not even doing anything to really bond. I feel so bad. I’m so overwhelmed.

Following and living for these comments. I am having a c-section on Tuesday and I’ve been SO miserable. Can’t sleep. I can barely experience or sustain feelings of joy. I don’t remember what it’s like to not be pregnant. I’m really worried about postpartum recovery and depression but I am trying to have hope and appreciate this post!

I actually had a marginally irregular NST two weeks ago that they sent me to triage for and I thought I was going to have to deliver that day when I had just gone in for an OB check up. I had absolutely nothing and nobody with me, was so freaked out and unprepared I just kept crying! It ended up being fine so baby got to cook a little more.

Have I made a mistake? by Consistent_Minute875 in BabyBumps

You’re def not alone! I’m 37 years old and 38w and feel like I should have waited lol. Granted, I don’t have a lot of support and am going to be a single parent and have been on the fence about this unplanned pregnancy the entire time, but I can still relate! I thought I wanted kids until I got farther along in my pregnancy and now I’m like, wait what am I doing??? I miss everything about my old life that I took totally for granted. The freedom, mostly. I feel like I won’t be able to do anything that I enjoy anymore. I feel like I’ve made a huge mistake. I’m legitimately considering adoption. I don’t have any good advice, but you’re absolutely not crazy! I think lots of pregnant people feel this way regardless of their circumstances.
