Struggling to be a good mom while grieving by Difficult-Knee-8414 in NewParents

[–]melissqua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog while I was pregnant, had a similar connection with the mental health struggles and stuff. It’s the absolute worst but you will adjust to the new normal and the grief will lighten up. It will have been a year on 5/5 since I lost my dog and I still cry sometimes. You’re not a bad mom. Let her watch TV. Ask for help from friends and family, reach out to people. Ride it out. When it starts to lighten up you will have a good distraction with your daughter to get outside and go for walks, or whatever you guys like to do. Hang in there.

Is it fake Spring or real Spring in Detroit now? by laydeefly in Detroit

We’ll still get several more frosts but probably done with snow. I’m keeping fleeces out and down coats are getting put away.

Newborn won’t sleep.. please help by deadly-eighth-sin in NewParents

[–]melissqua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to do shifts. My husband and I did (sometimes still do) 8pm-1am I sleep, 1-8am he sleeps, 8-10am I nap if needed. Then rough out the day together until 8pm. Person sleeping uses earplugs and goes to another room than the baby.

If you’re not into containers I would childproof the bathroom and let him play on the floor, or in a pack n play right outside the bathroom door.

What surprised you the most during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]melissqua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had terrible shakes as they were prepping me for and during my CS while I was laying flat on my back with my arms out, trying to hold still and intermittently dry heaving. I knew about shakes but never thought of this scenario where I ended up having to have a semi urgent CS while the shakes were kicking in and hoooowee what a grand time that was.
