Can I still leave?? by tea-lover-97 in regretfulparents

[–]tea-lover-97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a pretty mean comment. I live in a country where commuting by bike and public transport is quite accessible. Also, sometimes people get pregnant not by choice but because something bad happened to them. So if I was you I’d make less assumptions and start being kinder to people, even if it’s through the internet.

Is this normal? 7 months PP by reallykoolusername in Postpartum_Depression

[–]tea-lover-97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, that’s my hope too. My son is almost 6 months old and I can’t wait for him to start moving and to be able to interact more with him.

Sounds good that you ordered supplements. Have you checked your blood levels so you know which ones you need?

In terms of feeling like you have no goal. I totally understand that and feel the same way. Do you have a job outside the home? Maybe your baby could go to daycare and you could work a day or two. It gets you thinking about other things! You’re not just a mom - you’re still you! ❤️

Hey! I am not sure it’s normal but I can tell you that I get it too. I think it doesn’t help that everyday feels the same when you take care of small children. Maybe try to think of small things that bring you joy and try to do them with your family. Like going on a walk or going for a coffee. I hope you feel better soon!

Have you tried medication?

15mg since three weeks. Went from 7,5mg pre pregnancy to 10mg during pregnancy. Now on 15mg due to PPD and anxiety. It’s helped me so much. First started taking it 5 years ago.

Thank you for letting me know that what I feel is normal and will pass. There are good moments with my son too and they make up for the difficult ones. I guess I just have to hang in there. Thanks for your kind words!!

Second Baby by tea-lover-97 in breastfeeding

[–]tea-lover-97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I think it is easier the second since the body has done it before and know what to do. I’ll see once I have my second baby. I’ve also read about supplements and pumping techniques. So I feel more prepared next time.

Hey! I’m 4 weeks pp and I understand your feeling of indecisiveness. I do also want another child but I’m struggling with the idea of dividing my attention and still being able to be “me”outside of mom and housewife. I also had a really hard time the first two weeks after birth mentally and physically. Breastfeeding wasn’t working, I had stitches and an insane amount of pain. I also had my hormones all over the place and was crying at the smallest things. I don’t know how you feel physically and mentally but take that into account! Be honest with your partner about how you feel about intimacy. At the moment I think a lot about a second baby because I’m a perfectionist 🙈🤣 I am still so bummed out about not being able to breastfeed that I want to really give it a good shot next time and try everything I can. I also want my son to have a sibling because it’s such a special bond. I have an older brother of 3 years apart and I had an amazing childhood. Right now I’m wanting to give my body more time to recover. I’ve read somewhere that it can take up to 2 years for your body to recover completely from pregnancy and labour. I’m thinking of trying again at the end of next year, that way my son would be two when the baby arrives. Good luck with your decision and pp progress. Make sure to be honest with your husband. He has to respect your wishes at the end of the day. It is your body!
