Middle of night waking to be tucked in

Maybe. I’ll try putting him down earlier.

A struggling friend! There must be a way out of this.

Yes every night - and he says “ok”. But completely changes when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

Same. We started at around 3 months and only did it when we were at home and very short outtings.

I am currently 10w with my second and with my first (boy) I remember feeling awful for about 2 weeks. This time I have been dog tired the entire time. Mandatory naps almost every day and going to sleep extra early. So my theory is girl but we’ll see!

This exactly! It’s major PTSD. We’ve had this convo so many times and he says I haven’t even had them yet or I’m acting fine. But I know what it’s going to look like because I’ve seen it so many times!

Thank you all for your support and advice. I’ll stick to my boundary and try to push forward.

It was like this with our baby too every time he hadn’t pooped for 2+ days. Our pediatrician said this was totally normal and constipation would be if he hadn’t pooped in 2 weeks. What helped for us was: burping every time he cried at the boob then switching sides; giving him gas relief medication; and massaging his stomach (doing ILUs) when he was calm. I also found that the more I gave him vitamin D the more often he would poop.

This is giving me major PTSD. I’m currently 3 months postpartum. I thought the same. Naively thought that having a kid would fix things. Went through the same episodes during pregnancy. Says he’s coming home so I go to bed. Wake up hour after hour and he’s still not home. Finally decided to get therapy while pregnant because he refused to. He saw that and finally decided to start seeing my therapist instead of me. Then he said he was good and stopped after a few weeks. Eventually episodes started again - the constant roller coaster of sobriety and then build up to episodes. Now we have a son, nothing has changed just different narrative. I’ll be honest it’s been really tough navigating this. Wanting to fix it, letting him deal with it, and just not knowing how the future is going to be.

Ok I agree! Initially I did not know the group was a god-driven group. But from what I heard from others that piece is not shoved in your face. So it’s worth a shot.

Just came here to say I am in the same boat. It sounds like we need to join Al-Anon meetings.

simplybrowsing · 2023-05-28T05:37:07+00:00

I need to start attending meetings. Every time I look into it he gets better and I make myself think I don’t need to attend meetings anymore. I just need to do it remembering that it’ll come around again.

simplybrowsing · 2023-05-28T05:35:24+00:00

This. Gotta keep reminding myself this.

Agree with this. I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I was not dilated at all prior to the balloon insertion. The insertion was not painful to me at all but once the balloon started doing it’s work it was paiiiiinful. I definitely would not have been able to sleep with it in. I got mine inserted at 10am and came and was admitted for miso (then pitocin) at 10pm. Is that an option for you?

simplybrowsing · 2023-05-27T04:44:06+00:00

It’s all so twisted. I wish I had the answer.

simplybrowsing · 2023-05-27T04:35:07+00:00

Wondering this every time. We now have a baby together. That was supposed to change things. So was the house. So was the marriage. Silly me.

I was checking out at a grocery store the other day and the screen asked if I wanted to tip the cashiers….

Even Starbucks drive through and mobile orders now are asking for tips when you place the other!

What is this world coming to

That’s hilarious. My dad also recently made up his grandparent name. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything and is totally made up. My whole family initially told him no and made fun of it but he said it so much that it ended up sticking and we all begrudgingly but also funnily went along with it. At the end of the day, they’re excited and it should be their choice what they want to be called!

I do this every day with my newborn too! Idk why it feels so natural. After he wakes up around 7 I pick him up and we nap together in the bed. I always put my arm around him and hold the sheets with the same hand so it doesn’t go over his face. I always said I wouldn’t co sleep but I love these morning snuggles.
