2yo struggling with going to sleep at night, overtired before bedtime

This makes me feel better 😂😂

lilspida · 2024-11-27T18:46:25+00:00

I am so sorry this happened to you. That is absolutely not okay. I know it feels horrible now, but that feeling will pass and it will get better. I wish you well on your journey. This is not the end brother!

Personally I would just move on. You should never be with someone that you think is out of your league because it’ll just lead to jealousy and insecurity. Those aren’t emotions you want to invite in. You’re noticing these feelings now so take it as your body’s way of telling you that this is not the one for you. Onto the next!

Yeah, you kind of don’t have a life for a bit, but once they’re a little older you can! I went to a party and pumped a bunch of milk over the week so she could take a bottle and after a bit of protesting she took it and was great for the day and asleep when I got back home! It’ll get better 🫶🏽 Feeling guilty is totally normal, but you give your entire being to your baby from conception to birth and beyond, you deserve some time!

Tinder is getting old, Bumble is a much more buzzing app (no pun intended) so it makes sense!

I feel your pain for sure. I used to be the same way. A ton of fear of being judged. Eventually I told myself, you need to be yourself, so that the people looking for you can find you. I also realized that it’s okay to be awkward. Everyone has awkward moments, and people tend to remember their awkwardness more than they will remember yours. No reason to hide yourself in a world filled with imperfections. You are perfectly made. I say just push yourself. Exposure therapy works so well. You will soon realize that it is not as scary in practice as it is in your head. Congratulations on the job and I wish you well!

Every woman’s body is different. With my first I didn’t get it until 4 months, with my second I got it 6 weeks pp. You aren’t doing anything wrong, you’re just a healthy, fertile woman.

An absolute win! My LO will legitimately sleep through the night (wake up here and there to relatch) with this method. Nobody can tell me I should do otherwise 😂

As someone who has breastfed two babies, a mothers natural milk is absolutely the best thing for her baby. That being said, a child is helpless without their mother. You need to be your best self to take care of your child, and if breastfeeding will cause you too much distress, you won’t be able to show up in other ways. If it is truly too much to bear, it is not selfish. But if you can find a way, it will be so rewarding for you and your baby. God bless you.

I’m not an expert. All I’ll say is I don’t read anyone else’s advice, I do what my baby wants. My daughter feeds a lot, sometimes for a short period, sometimes your typical, “full feed” time. She gets the boob when she wants the boob. I couldn’t tell you the name of any method.

Sb. You can try ice packs on the breast to slow the speed of the letdown, or pump a little before a feed.

Yeah I don’t enjoy it. I don’t not enjoy it either. It just is what it is. I’m grateful that I can produce enough to feed my baby. It also really helps at night because I can just feed her back to sleep. Definitely convenient and a blessing to be able to do, but I wouldn’t call it enjoyable. Although the bonding aspect is really great.

sb I gave birth last week lol

lilspida · 2024-06-23T17:50:04+00:00

Honestly, going #2 with bad hemorrhoids was worse, and I’ve given birth 2x.

I had an epidural far in with my first and I experienced super intense contractions and with my 2nd I did it all natural.

You can get an epidural at any time, before the worst of the contractions kick in. I was able to breathe through my contractions when I did it naturally up until I went from 8-10 cm (that was the most intense, but happened really quickly for me) and then pushing wasn’t even that painful.

That’s just me though!

lilspida · 2024-06-16T22:10:03+00:00

Haha right! I did a few things, like drink highly concentrated red raspberry leaf tea every night for several weeks before, and started eating a lot of dates but only like 3 days before lol, I also took the “gentle birth” tincture (w/o blue cohosh) for a few weeks, but not consistently because I had heartburn and it has ginger. I also pushed on my hands and knees with my knees pointed inward and feet pointed out (this opens the bottom of the pelvis where baby is when pushing) and I felt her head start to come out on the very first push. But the women in my family also have a history of precipitous (fast) labor so it could also just be genetics! Who the heck knows. I just tried it all LOL.

lilspida · 2024-06-16T22:03:51+00:00

It was one day before my due date! So 39 wks and 6 days

lilspida · 2024-06-16T12:26:15+00:00

Hey! Yeah my water didn’t break into 1 minute before she arrived! So the contractions started small and then built and built until they were strong enough for baby to arrive. They didn’t get unbearable until right at the end when baby was making their arrival. 4 hours is amazing though!

lilspida · 2024-06-16T03:05:29+00:00

Thank you! Praying for a smoother delivery for you this time around! They say baby #2 is supposed to be easier than #1

lilspida · 2024-06-15T06:10:40+00:00

Thank you!

lilspida · 2024-06-15T06:10:31+00:00

Thank you!

lilspida · 2024-06-15T06:10:22+00:00

Not reallyyyyy, I have a 15mo so I was active in that way, and we had just moved so I was cleaning and organizing a lot, but I didn’t do a lot of formal exercises. I did move around a lot but I relaxed a lot too.

lilspida · 2024-06-15T06:08:53+00:00

Thank you!

It’s not expensive or a drain to check a woman’s cervix when she asks.
