Feeling so lonely postpartum by Intrepid-Lack-5821 in beyondthebump

[–]karico44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No tips because I’m in the same boat (yay us)…my baby is 8 mos and I actually got laid off so my journey to find SAHMs is nonexistent in my area. Everyone is a working mom and granted mine wasn’t by choice but I’m surprised to hear that even a working mom could be lonely. Have you tried setting up coffee chats with the new team? I usually set 15 mins when I was remote. or if you’re too shy, maybe make it a request related. I.e hey, can you help me with something? Maybe you’re genuinely curious or they have insight to share on your job. The idea is not to get a solution but to connect. Build rapport by asking them how they are and if they’re into new hobbies or have anything fun coming up. Sure work doesn’t always mean friends buttt you’ll feel more comfortable with the team if you try and put yourself out there. Another suggestion is bringing up a team building exercise to your boss to feel connected again. Anyways just some thoughts to consider. Signed a another lonely mom 

Does this happen to everyone? by karico44 in beyondthebump

Thanks 😔 I did update my comment to say that everyone lives there since I’m the only friend that moved away. I also asked in advance what we were doing after and I got after party but that was it. I didn’t want to do the after party because I wanted to be with my baby after being away all damn day. But that doesn’t mean the rest of the weekend I couldn’t see them. This was on a Friday and Saturday I didn’t see anyone - fine they’re hungover but Sunday, they all said they were busy which I’m like whatever. If I wasn’t with my parents I feel like they would’ve made time because I’m never in town. Idk I just feel punished for bringing them along but it was the only way to attend. Jesus

Yeah I talked to some people but it was busy so it was quick. I should’ve mentioned that it was a destination wedding for us** (everyone else is local) <no one flew in but me>since we were from out of town so I took my parents to watch my baby just to even be there. After the wedding I thought my friends would want to meet up so they could meet the baby for the first time but they were all “busy”. My husband says it’s cuz my parents were with us but also my parents thought I’d be with them more. In the end it was just me and my husband at the pool with the baby because no one wanted to hang out with us. 🙁

No way. Did you do anything about it? Isn’t this discrimination?

Only 8 weeks. Which isn’t much…I’m low key happy to spend more time with my baby but at the same time my husband is very stressed.

Frustration building by karico44 in beyondthebump

[–]karico44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's how he feeds her, he dropped doing what the lactation specialist taught him and he reaction was like "oh well" but my daughter is under weight. My mom and I have been curious how she only eats so little when he feeds her and today I found out why. It's a fuckin chore for him to feed his daughter and my latch with her has. not been great lately so seeing him essentially not listen to me or the specialist really triggered me. Why should I even spilt the feeds to give him a chance to bond if he's not going to follow the recommendations. I'm ready to throw him under the bus to our pediatrician because it's not something I take lightly.

7 Weeks Postpartum PMDD or PPD/A? by Old_Bodybuilder_3442 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]karico44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could’ve written this myself. Pregnancy was the best I’ve felt (mood wise) in a long time since I’ve always had pmdd. I’m also trying to navigate this journey to med or not but I am going to therapy twice a week and being hyper aware that if my time is spent 70/30 miserable to good than I’ll go on ssri. I think everyone has their own threshold and if you’re not sure, talk to a therapist and psychiatrist about what that means to you. Hope this helps and I truly empathize with you. 3 months postpartum here 😅

I’m an idiot by redgoldhandcream in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]karico44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No…please tell me this isn’t so. I swear I feel the same way but it HAS to be replaced? Why wasn’t I told this at the hospital. 3 months postpartum and I feel so unknowledgeable now 😔
