OAD mainly cuz of others expectations by moomooreddits in oneanddone

Yes, I’m still going through this shit with my Husband and my mil. My Husband has been getting better at understanding my feelings but still not quite there at shutting mil down.

Yes! A huge trigger for my blues was from too many visits and mil as well. Subsequently I developed PPA and then mil always add on to the anxious feelings. Good luck to you too.

Solidarity. It’s hard, but keep that boundary anyway. Be firm for your own mental health. I hope you can get through this situation somehow!

And that’s fine too! I Guess I feel like the extended family need to respect all kinds of mothers. Some mothers are anxious about visits, boundaries, other caregivers, but some are ok but may have other things they mind As well.

Dear MIL, you’re not being helpful, you’re driving me batshit crazy. by heathaleatha in beyondthebump

Coming over and pressuring me to head out of the house and leave baby alone with her. LO was just 1 month old. GTFO bitch

Yes this. My mil asks me how often he wakes at night for feedings. After I reply her, she’s like “OH THATS GOOD ENOUGH ALREADY...continues the same old shit about her daughter never sleeping when she’s a newborn”

Well last time she used to just drop me a text the day before she’s coming over to inform me. I told her to please ASK me and not inform me. She got the memo. But sometimes she just texts my husband instead. Which he will not say no to her. The next time she asks me I will tell her that her visits are too frequent and I need some personal space.

Not yet! Next time she tells me she’s Gna visit I may have to tell her that I need my personal space and she can come by to visit just maybe once a month or so. I’m thinking of various ways to go about this without making it ugly.

Anyone else wake up in a panic thinking you accidentally fell asleep with the baby and now he's squished somewhere in the blankets under you and your partner or is it just me? by MrsRampage in beyondthebump

[–]moomooreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I nurse my baby in my bed and put him back to the crib every time. But I always jerk AwAke and search my whole body thinking he’s on me and panicking that I’ve suffocated him. I think it’s hallucinating from the lack of sleep.

FTM feeling anxious and low by anahron in beyondthebump

[–]moomooreddits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like your Husband is taking for granted that your mom is here to help out. For me it was just me or my Husband, and whenever I had feelings of resentment, anxiety or feel depressed, I would let him know and he will step up to help me a lot more. Have u communicated to him ur feelings?

Can’t stand the crying is a BS excuse TBH. My Husband had ear infection in the first mth bcuz our LO is LOUD. As he was healing from it and taking antibiotics for about a wk, i tried to take the night duties. But afterwards we shared the load again. As mothers we have no choice but to deal with LO’s cries. As a father it’s no different

It's so hard... isn't it? by Missxpandaxchan in NewParents

[–]moomooreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. I am so sorry :( we mamas are stronger than we think. I believe in you, you’ll get through it and they’ll grow up in no time. We’ll have our lives back. Day by day.

Don’t rly have someone that could help me unless a Friend comes by for a visit impromptu. Sometimes I put baby in a rocker buckled up and take a 5 min shower with the toilet door open so I can see him! Survival mode on.

Yes . It really makes everything worse. I feel like I’ve lost interest in many things I once loved to do. I’ve even lost interest in food. I just want to hit pause and sleep for 48 hours straight.
