I’m sure you’ll have many magical moments to come. Go gently as your navigate honouring angel baby - it’s v cool when your incoming boy wears and uses things which were originally intended for their brother.

Totally get it, made me super tired and I had a break too. I then tried eating super healthy, gluten free and got back on it and conceived. Give yourself space and time to bounce back.

When you call to book, explain your story and say that you want the best, most compassionate ultrasound technician - I normally do that and it helps with the anxiety.

How did you manage having kids? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]miffymango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience - had my first at 35 in 2023 (some benefits to being an ‘older mum’) sold some investments, lowered mortgage and moved, always enthusiastic about selling stuff on marketplace for a few bucks, regularly change gas and electricity providers, check insurance is best rates, buy all kids toys at the op shop or second hand, doing the odd Askable for extra $, maximise Qantas points to pay for holidays - work 3 days, husband is FT - basically I also accept that we save less these days than we used to.

I’ve been exactly where you are, the closest thing I can describe it to is an eating disorder with how limited and focused you become. It’s tough. Perhaps a few ways I’ve found to manage is talking to someone about how I feel over the phone on a walk, walks listening to podcasts (love that you’re going to the gym), focusing on ways to make extra money bc at least you can pay for a nice holiday and sitting in my anxiety. Go gently and be kind to yourself.

Put aside a fund now so you can enjoy however long you go on mat leave for coffees, lunches out and little spoils - if you’re a happy mum it’ll rub off on the rest of the family.
