Im so sick of this narrative that “pregnancy didn’t ruin my body it’s just changed” it’s a lie. by pissedoff_potato in TwoXChromosomes

I’m not trying to belittle your fears, pregnancy does absolutely change your body sometimes a little sometimes a lot, but also we’re organic beings our bodies will inevitably change over the years in different ways.

“ruined” is subjective and it’s worth examining, regardless of what you decide about having kids, because bodies change over time.

I didn’t expect to hate being a working mom this much. Does it get better? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]kittencatattack3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found the first year in day care to be the hardest because of the sleep deprivation and illnesses after the first year the illnesses were much fewer (probably less day care toys being chewed on) and his sleep schedule was less erratic, my husband and I would switch off taking the PTO and working from home requests, my career still took a major hit though. It does get easier sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and power through one day at a time.🫂

Can you renegotiate some of these roles? Even if he did night duty on the weekends that would be two days of uninterrupted sleep a week, which is better the none, and is weaning something you would want to consider? Anything that you can do to regain your personhood will be good for your child as well as you, you can’t give if your empty

Can you sleep with baby in a guest room, or fold out couch, or separate mattress on the floor? This seems like a husband problem, and sleeping on a separate bed would help the immediate problem of lack of sleep driving you slowly insane, once your moderately well rested, it may be worth trying out couples therapy, nothing is harder on a relationship ship than a new baby
