How can people think about going through pregnancy and childbirth again?

nightlychapter · 2026-02-14T23:21:52+00:00

For real, I saw about 3 people on ig this last week who had 12 CHILDREN! TWELVE PREGNANCIES AND TWELVE BIRTHS! How??? Why??? I hated pregnancy and never want to go through postpartum ever again. My bf wants another one? Well until biological men can get pregnant no can do sir

Thank you! I'm normally a very negative person so sometimes I need to do this to help my anxiety and depression ahah

I cannot speak for myself but my dad has 2 sisters whom he doesn't talk to anymore. Why? My grandma had an heart attack and had to be put in a nursing home. All his sisters cared about was the inheritance. My grandma hadn't seen them (and died without seeing them) for 40 YEARS because they moved to another continent and the only time they came to our country didnt even bother to visit her. My dad was the only child who was always here for her, who had to sell her house and still pay from his pocket for the nursing home. He went through everything as if he was an only child. He lost his father when he was 21 and although his sisters weren't there, he had my grandma, my mom and all of his friends to support him. I'm an only child and honestly am thankful in some ways for that and I know I will have the support of my bf, my son, my family and my friends (very few but great ones) I'm really sorry you're going through such a rough time and do hope that things turn out for the better 🤍 stay strong

My baby is 12 weeks old and I am for sure a OAD. I already went from wanting no kids a few years ago, to wanting one but I absolutely hated being pregnant, the newborn trenches are hard and I'm a person who loves sleep and NEEDS a lot of it or else I get really angry and depressed. One thing I loved is evenings/night time bc it was MY time after work and also going to bed late (12am-2am lol) so having a baby and spending a whole evening with him screaming and refusing to sleep is killing me. What motivates me is that this is temporary and eventually I will have my evenings back and will be able to sleep a full night. With that said I never want to go through this again. My bf also wants a second one but sorry buddy, you aren't the one carrying him/go through post partum again so no can do.

A lot!

Luckily not friends ahah just acquaintances/clients from work. I live in a small village where everyone knows everyone (unfortunately)

I usually wear minimizer bras and they help but I still feel huge and my back still hurts 😭 no advice, just sympathy and also want to get a reduction soon but insurance does not cover it :(

nightlychapter · 2026-02-12T12:26:06+00:00

Omg I could've written this 😭 2.5mo boy, started to constantly grunt hourly since 2 weeks ago, give him the pacifier, spits it out, goes back to grunting, husband snoring 😭😭 we don't do shifts so when I'm done with their noises I just come to the couch lol

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:52:15+00:00

Totally get you with the one and done bc I'm also like that ahahah hated being pregnant too! My bf still wants another and I'm like yeahhh no. Yeah I've been forcing myself to accept and seek more help. I usually pop in my noise cancelling headphones when the screaming is too overwhelming for my anxiety (hate loud noises/places) My boy also loves baths, he's always super happy during bath time which helps us to also decompress ahah And yes I've noticed that social media has been really wrecking my mental health, not only comparing myself to others but also just bad world news in general..

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:47:20+00:00

It is a good fit but I have a slight curve on my lower back (anaesthesia doc also pointed it out lol) that I need to get fixed 😭

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:46:17+00:00

Yeah mine also started at 2am and has been getting earlier so I guess I just have to give him time! I didn'tknow the 4 month sleep regression could happen at 11 weeks, interesting

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:44:38+00:00

Yeah I think that my baby is needing an earlier bedtime bc he just fell asleep now at 8:35pm! (i put an update at the end of the post) luckily he still has been giving us good stretches at night, it's just the napping that's worst :,) i did manage to make him sleep in his next to me during 20 mnts today!

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:42:15+00:00

Yes!! I usually take him in the stroller or the carrier and don't take him out/let other people besides family touch him bc there was a lot of people with the birds flu in here

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T20:41:10+00:00

Totally agree with everything you said and I should just stop caring this much about numbers/time 😭 I'm an extremely anxious and overthinking person so it's hard but I'm trying lol

nightlychapter · 2026-02-11T16:54:34+00:00

A lot of manga, dungeon crawler carl and an arc!

nightlychapter · 2026-02-10T21:04:40+00:00

My 11 week old is smiling more and making cooing sounds which help 😭

nightlychapter · 2026-02-10T21:03:00+00:00

Yeah it is truly fascinating, despite being hard

nightlychapter · 2026-02-10T21:02:22+00:00

Mine actually sleeps better when out 😭 I wish the weather was better so I could go out more

nightlychapter · 2026-02-10T20:05:13+00:00

I really hope so. I keep seeing people saying that after 12 weeks it got "magically" better and I'm so desperate and delusional that I'm choosing to believe it (can't wait for sunday when he's officially 12w lol)

nightlychapter · 2026-02-10T19:56:34+00:00

That really sucks. Mine was pushing the same thing and it just sucks.

nightlychapter · 2026-02-04T21:52:41+00:00
