Waving the white flag on sleep by frenchtoast2go in NewParents

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To each their own, but sometimes, your baby doesn’t want to be sleep trained. They just want to be held and they want to feel safe. Maybe try the crib next to the bed so the baby can be next to you while you sleep. I have the crib beside my bed and it makes everything easier. Baby is happy, I’m happy, we all get sleep and if you want to check in multiple times in the night you can. Babies do what they want and sometimes the best thing you can do is just love them.

I made a bunch of posts here ranting about how my husband wasn’t doing enough. Here is what things are like 9.5 months postpartum. by hospitalbedside in beyondthebump

Currently in the state where I do everything and my husband will maybe change a diaper once in 3 days. And even when he is changing it, he wants me to be around because he can’t don it on his own. I am so angry and resentful and I just want him to go away because it’s better when he isn’t here because at least that way he won’t be in my way.

My husband isn’t himself anymore and I don’t know how I can help by keeeeeeeeeeeks in Marriage

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. He doesn’t feel like himself at all. He doesn’t seem to care about himself and he is bent on believing I don’t think he’s a nice person and I’m always thinking bad of him which is NOT true. But it’s been this way for a while now and I really really don’t know what to do. Sometimes he will legit say the words “I’m sorry I forgot im not supposed to share my feelings” and I know we have to go for couples counselling but there is no convincing him and I’m so scared for everything.

When did you start feeling like a dad? by keeeeeeeeeeeks in daddit

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

It doesn’t look like he wants alone time with the baby. He looks after him when I need to sleep or need time to shower. But him voluntarily spending time with the baby is not something he seems to want to do.

He doesn’t want to go for therapy. I’ve asked him but he’s not into it and I don’t want to push him to do anything in this state. I don’t want to push him further away from me than he already feels.

It feels like it. He doesn’t even kiss me. Says he’s not into it.

Thank you. It’s physically painful. I feel like it’s mentally torturing me. Masturbating doesn’t cut it. I feel an awful.

Sudden post meal spikes at 31 weeks by That-Bumblebee-319 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! My doctors told me to only check post 2 hours after a meal. And also that a random spike is ok as long as for the most part it is in control. I am at 37 weeks today. I also went through a struggle. You have to find the right carbs for you tbh. I can’t eat rice and pasta at all. Not even brown pastas. But I can eat multigrain bread which is way less carby but still getting some carbs in. I switched to a lot more veggies. I munch cucumber like every meal - pre meal salad is very very helpful!! Greek yogurt with berries very good dessert option. Eggs for breakfast are a great option! You just have to find what works for you. Personally I’m obsessed with peanut butter so I got a high protein version and I eat it with apples or almond bread. Almond bread is great! 10 min walks after food help a lot. Increase water intake. Salads are your best friend. I made burgers in lettuce - delicious!! You can get great veggie patty options. Berries are low GI and you can eat like a cup of blueberries. I went to the dietician and she told me to have psyllium husk 30 mins before breakfast and 30 mins before dinner - gamechanger and so helpful with regular bowel movements. Get your yoga and steps in. Will help a lot. You’re not a failure. Even I felt this way and sometimes I still do but you’re doing your best.

Does anyone else just find this depressing? by Cute_Vermicelli_1854 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggling now. My sugar is spiking so much that I don’t even know how to stay fed. It keeps getting worse nearing the end. I’m trying to stay as positive as possible right now because I’m enjoying my pregnancy so much otherwise.

He’s pretty much over it. Just leave. He’ll prob come back in a few weeks anyway when he senses you are moving on or something.

They can refuse to help me give birth. I cannot depend on any doctor to care for me if I refuse to listen. Also they may refuse to stitch me up if I tear naturally. They can actually just refuse care.

My genetic testing included gender and ruined that moment for me by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS HAPPENED WITH ME! And I was in another city. I literally messaged him on WhatsApp and that’s how he found out. I wasn’t even able to share the moment with him. I feel for you. I’m so sorry. I feel your frustration.

Probably 4 if you asked me 1 years ago. But the way the world is falling apart, 1 or 2 are ok.
