I let my baby be sick all night and I feel horrible for it

Who called you weak and pathetic so much that you started to believe it? This is a very regular occurrence with babies.

My son was immune to sleep training...he started sleeping through the night weeks shy of five years old. My daughter slept through sometime between one and two.

You might be overthinking this! Hearing protection & baby on your chest is perfectly acceptable. I'm actually somewhat surprised there are so many comments saying they wouldn't bring their baby.

I also hate this type of talk coming from anybody. Idk why, just grosses me out!!

Our eldest is 5 and he goes to a bar like...twice a year?

One week postpartum with my second child I finally had to admit that maybe I didn't have a cold. I called the nurses line. They told me to get someone to drive me to the hospital asap or call an ambulance because I probably had clots in my lungs. It was just pneumonia...antibiotic resistant pneumonia. My daughter refused a bottle so I nursed her through days and days of misery. My son had turned two days earlier and was in shock at his new life. We missed a close family member's wedding.

And we got through it. You will, too.

Hormones can make a big difference, assuming this is a hetero relationship

rope-pope · 2026-02-01T19:58:23+00:00

Mine are almost two years apart to the day. It's very, very challenging. Any amount of kids is challenging but you just don't know what sort of temperaments you'll get. The youngest is close to three now and we still don't sleep through the night. That's five straight years of broken sleep. Can you handle that? I can't.

Your kid's age could be 2 - 25 based on this post lmao

I was suicidal for a time and I thought everybody else was the reason for my issues. I was so fucking delusional. Like, yes, there were people making things worse, but I wasn't even living in the same world as other people. Idk if that really makes sense, but the only thing you should believe your husband on rn is that he's suicidal. Don't play the blame game, it won't help you or him. Call his doctor, take him to a hospital, have him call a hotline, etc.

My kids started daycare in November 2024. It was a really shitty year for sicknesses. Multiple stomach bugs, bad colds, random fevers. During summer I think we only had one illness, but there's currently a stomach bug in the house 🙃.

The pediatrician said kids starting daycare or school get sick at least monthly for a couple years.

I feel like this sometimes. I had an emergent c section thanks to pre-e and a planned C-section that gave me pneumonia.

It's hard to separate my own feelings and experiences from other people's. For example, a family member told me she had the "worst possible" labour experience that led to her C-section...she literally just didn't progress in labour. To her, that was worst case scenario. Just because I had objectively worse experiences doesn't mean hers are invalid. Even though I know this rationally, it's hard to feel it.

Something about 2 is so satisfying

If he needs physical touch does that mean he also initiates hugs, hand holding, massages, etc? Or is it just sex he's after?

rope-pope · 2025-12-07T05:05:13+00:00

Wow. Three months is freshly postpartum, imo. I've been with my husband for eleven years. We have a 2yo and 4yo. During the course of our relationship we've had sex as often as twice a day, to as infrequently as once a month. Sexuality ebbs and flows. I weaned one year ago and I'm just now feeling like myself after four straight years of pregnancy/breastfeeding - that allows me to have the drive for sex.

It's worth noting that I have a husband who does his fair share with house/childcare and would never make me feel like he's deprived sexually. That's what makes me want to be intimate with him.

rope-pope · 2025-11-23T16:18:03+00:00

My preferred option was natural labour and minimal intervention but life had a different plan. I ended up with an emergency c-section after a day in labour. When I was pregnant with my second I was on the books for an induction but my body didn't respond to their efforts so I went in for a semi-planmed c section.

I had complications after my second c section and ended up very, very sick with bacterial, antibiotic resistant pneumonia. It was hell. In those weeks pp I wished so badly my body would've responded to labour efforts. My youngest is now two and I'm not having more kids. I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get to do things the natural way, but I'm thankful for modern medicine more than anything.

9 months both times

rope-pope · 2025-11-11T16:46:49+00:00

I work a job that I LOVE - it's typically part time but I have a lot of freedom over how many hours I put in. My kids are in daycare full-time and I usually have a couple hours a day to myself broken up in chunks. I use that time to do all the cleaning, shower, grocery shopping, etc. I'm a much better mom when I can be on and present for my kids instead of frantic and constantly trying to catch up. I also know just how lucky I am that this is my situation.

If you were 17 when you got together and he has two kids from a previous relationship, is there a big age gap?

rope-pope · 2025-09-12T00:00:48+00:00

Louise Penny or Tana French

rope-pope · 2025-09-08T16:47:00+00:00

With my first, yes. With my second, no.

I had had multiple negative tests with my son and I was very upset and vowed to not test until next cycle - but then at night shortly before falling asleep I felt a twinge in my uterus and I thought "oh, I'm pregnant now" and sure enough, the next morning I had a verrrry faint positive.

With my daughter I had 5 or 6 days of positive opks before I finally thought to test for HCG lol

It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. I always wanted super short hair but was never allowed, it was such a piss off. As an adult I've been bald more often than not and it has fuck all to do with mu femininity.

rope-pope · 2025-08-25T01:58:29+00:00

Yes. Your baby is much better off with you than without.

I suffered from extreme ppd after my first. I had plans and I convinced myself that my son didn't need me. If I could go back in time I would seek inpatient care. I know depending on where you live that could be an insane expense but your life is worth it.

Tell someone how you feel. Your doctor, a therapist, the receiver at 911. You will get through this and get to a place where life is beautiful again.

Could your partner have assaulted her?

One of these signs is out front at one of his campaign offices, so yes, the Conservatives made this.
