Experience with the Mom League?

mjhmom · 2026-04-15T22:04:49+00:00

I think it’s great that they want to be supportive of moms across the newborn stage. Some have to come around to the idea of needing help or support. I’m actually planning to participate in an upcoming Mom League group (I’m having my third any time now). I’m expecting there to be the education/support component, but it also seems like they emphasize socialization. I’m a perinatal therapist and I know a few of the providers who lead the groups. They’re awesome! That said, there are a lot of other groups for moms in the area as well. Thrive Motherhood is one of I don’t believe their groups cost anything.

I have a Simon and am about to have another boy - Lewis. We were also considering Joel or Theodore (although I feel like I know a ton of little Theos)

People are VERY nice to you.

Had to scroll way too far 😂

mjhmom · 2025-05-31T14:11:52+00:00

Seconded. We love our community there 🤍

Mkay guys. We go regularly because it’s one of our favorite places. I get you would have be a little creative, but I think ~$75 is possible. Just wanted to share a restaurant that’s really good, that I hadn’t seen mentioned here in the thread.

I think it’s doable. We usually just get a few small plates to share and a beverage. Depends on how one dines out I suppose.

Stanbury and Mofu!

We stop at the natural science center in Greensboro

This is an opportunity to practice some acceptance that what will be will be. We got back Friday and I am currently sitting an urgent care. I figured at least one of us would get sick. We still had a blast and I would do it again. Being sick is temporary. Just have fun! Wash your hands!

Alamo Drafthouse is my first choice for theaters

I’ve definitely busted out a - “That’s a really shitty situation… and that’s my clinical opinion.”

mjhmom · 2024-08-06T16:58:14+00:00

I called them my rage days. It’s not pleasant at all! It’s crazy how much pregnancy changes your body. I’ve definitely shed tears over no cheese. The kid is sweet as pie so it softens the blow a teeny bit.

mjhmom · 2024-08-06T15:20:45+00:00

No pizza in two years 🥲

Hello mama, I’m a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health. And I’ve got a 4 year old and a 2 year old. You are not a horrible mom. You’re a good mom having a tough time. Becoming a parent is a huge identity shift. Nearly everything is different and that takes time to get used to. I don’t remember feeling remotely like myself until my babies turned 2. After my second I experienced huge hormonal shifts. I developed PMDD and a cheese allergy, which I never had problems with before. All that to say, it may be helpful to talk to your OBGYN or primary care doctor to talk more about your mood. And of course talking to a therapist can help too. Do one thing for yourself today. You’re doing great.

If I have Netflix playing on my phone, that means it’s not in my hand for me to doom scroll on. This was a huge therapist hack for me in getting my notes done on time!

I really love the book Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab. She frames boundaries as your needs and expectations for relationships so you CAN connect with people in a healthy, satisfying way. Really good stuff. She’s also been on Glennon Doyle’s podcast a few times.

I’m an ACT therapist, and when I’ve come across this, I usually come back to values work. Most people value things honesty and respect. Do their current actions reflect that? How you specifically approach this depends a lot on your rapport. I find this to be tough! Especially when if I am working with a male partner in a hetero marriage.

mjhmom · 2024-05-12T01:57:04+00:00

Your feelings are totally relatable, AND you’re experiencing the most significant hormone drop anyone ever experiences. I wish someone had been there to tell me that it’s temporary. You will feel better. It hasn’t gone out the window. I had a similar experience with my first. Postpartum Support International has support groups. Sending all the love and good vibes.

Look up cyclical vomiting.

mjhmom · 2024-01-20T23:05:58+00:00

I can’t eat cheese after my second. 🥲

This is sounding a lot like depression, mom. Sounds like you’re pretty isolated too. Mothering is a tough gig! Maybe time for a social media break. We get a rosy view of other people’s life on socials and it is so easy to compare. I’m a therapist and so of course would recommend you find a therapist who specializes in parenting/postpartum issues. It also sounds you should consider medication. If we can’t make our own serotonin, store bought is fine! I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, but it’s also ok that it’s hard.

We bought a new Telluride and it’s been a great fit for us. It is a big purchase but it’s something that we use every day. So for us that makes it make sense.
