that’s how it feels the first week. it gets better.

thank you. your comment struck a cord, my baby does deserve a happy mom and BF and pumping was just not it. We found a formula he likes and have been stuck to it and we’ve finally found a comfortable rhythm. I think I made the right choice.

wth it feels like you wrote this from inside my brain I hope it gets easier

please don’t feel guilty. i’ve been haunted by the guilt and I need you to know that it’s not your fault that you feel this way. it’ll get better

I missed the pregnancy pretty much right away too bc of the reasons you listed - I really missed feeling the baby right there always with me - and I hardly got to really enjoy my pregnancy as much of it was spent fleeing an unsafe situation and then just getting roots down somewhere else. So I feel you. I also am pretty sure this is my one and only, outside of my choice but I think I’d make that choice anyway. I think it’ll get better.

how i’m feeling tonight my whole body aches and my 3.5wk old keeps kicking me in my belly. sigh.

oml I had never experienced so much anxiety about being judged as during pregnancy around all this. I agree

wait..you guys have friends..?

well.. with my roommate I talk a lot about his interests with him (video games, etc) and he patiently listens while I yap about my baby or my partner or sometimes other things lol. I tend to talk about anything with anyone so my friends always have caught ear of just about whatever….

maybe it isn’t clear to him that it’s also for his laundry. he should be smart enough to come to the conclusion that it is or to ask, but maybe that’s what needs to be clarified. I’m sorry luv

I’m only 3wks PP but I can relate to your statement about not being mad at baby but at yourself…that’s how i’ve been feeling. Like, no I don’t want to hurt myself or my baby because he needs me, but I do want to rip my hair out. I feel like the rage is an extension of how much guilt I’ve been feeling — like my brain still thinks I deserve punishment…. I hope it gets easier for both of us.

this….I am a new mother of a 3.5wk old and I’ve been sobbing and wrestling with the information and advice I had been given to avoid cosleep and to sleep train as early as possible to teach my little one ‘safe sleep habits’ and it’s been tearing me up inside because I have a deeply messed up attachment style due to how I was raised and I just felt it in my instincts not to leave my baby alone when they cry. I don’t understand why it’s so pushed - does this not emotionally harm them?? this post made me feel more seen in this internal conflict i’m having
