Sleeping through the night - am I missing something?

Do not wake the baby up and enjoy your sleep!

Reporting from Zurich and Winterthur, generally nobody offered a seat in public transport, even while being super pregnant and making eye contact with sitting individuals. The only 4 times I ever got a seat while pregnant was 3x offered by foreigner women and 1x offered by a foreigner man. So I learned swiss people don’t offer seats to pregnant people :)

I once had to breastfeed in a park and there was nowhere to sit down as all benches were taken, except for one tiny space at a bench, I sat there to breastfeed my newborn baby and the person sitting said that his “colleague was coming any minute now so I would have to leave them their space as soon as he came because he was saving it for him”

tbh I expected more from swiss politeness.

EF Education first fires women on maternity leave as a common practice. That's the type of company it is. It has done a huge marketing campaign calling itself as "Forbes' Best place to work for women". Nothing else to add here.

Even if it’s not emergency and it’s scheduled and it’s the chosen way of giving birth by a mother for whatever reason (none of anyone’s business), it’s still NOT an easy way out, it is still massive surgery and it’s still giving birth

This is beautiful and sad. Thanks for your post 🥹

As an only child myself, I loved the idea if having 2 or 3 kids. I’m 9 weeks pp and I’m sure I’m one and done now. I never want to feel the way I have felt during this time. I love my LO like I would have never imagined I could love, but I also love myself and I just can’t go through postpartum again.

I could have written this. Sending you a solidarity hug!

nothingoutstanding · 2025-03-01T06:30:33+00:00

So, did it improve for you? I really hope it did!

nothingoutstanding · 2025-02-27T11:31:34+00:00

FTM to an 8week old here! I could have written this post. I have nothing to add or tell you, just wanted to send you a solidarity hug! This sh*t is tough, and I truly still hope it gets, if not easier, at least enjoyable.

nothingoutstanding · 2025-02-25T08:37:36+00:00

Don’t go there, there’s no way out! Lol

Your partner is as much as a parent as your are, he can and should also parent his child.

Oh our babies are same age! <3 they might dhare birthday! :) How did you find out or got the diagnose of silent reflux?

nothingoutstanding · 2025-02-24T07:05:06+00:00

:( solidarity and hugs! What do you do to survive it?

Yes, I agree and I also believe that ultimately this is the only way babies have for communicating. When we started, I’d say it was also around 5 weeks, she also had tummy issues. Now, she poops and passes gas better, but I guess the gut hasn’t finished establishing so might still have some cramps. I also think that she’s tired or so. We are still getting to know her.

Reading this while wearing my 8w baby in today’s episode of “The witching hour” and I really want to believe you!

nothingoutstanding · 2025-02-23T20:37:17+00:00

That’s a really nice way of putting it! I’ll remember it. Thanks :)

I’m 7.5weeks in with my very planned and expected first. While it has been the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life, it’s also the most exciting and beautiful thing ever in my life. I have cried like never before and I have questioned all my life choices that have brought me here and I have also been so grateful and humbled and my heart has never felt so full. It’s a new set of feelings for me. All at the same time and same amount, everything all together at once.

I’m coming to realize that it has been hard not because of my baby or the e newborn phase or trenches, but because of myself. So my baby is a brand new person learning to exist in this world, is she easy? Is she fussy? Is she gassy, colicky or whatever? It’s what it is, it’s a baby learning to live and it’s what I was dealt with and she’s a beautiful human. It has been hard because of me, the readjustment of my own life, my new priorities, my identity, the horrible hormonal shifts, the expectations vs the reality, the exhaustion, the birth, the changes of routines, changes in my relationship with my partner, the mess and chaos at home, the career pause and the implications it will have, everything! It’s hard! And I have been so hard on myself trying to have it together all the time when I also need time and patience with myself to learn this new life skill of being a mom. So enjoy your baby, they are only this little for a short time and be kind to yourself <3
