How do u keep your sanity caring for a newborn??? 😁😩😩 please tell me I'm not the only one...all I do is what my baby does....eat & sleep...well & I watch tv.
And when my baby cluster feeds all day I have no time for shower. My hubs is getting cabin fever and wants to go out and stuff I'm like ahhhh I can't I don't want my baby to cry I feed him right away. I don't think I've got hang of things just yet.
@hayleymarie, ohh that's good & it's really kinda have no other choice. Same for me I was Sooo tired & my whole body ached just up until yesterday. I've stopped pain killers probably that's why. It's been 16days PP now. I do have to say that I think the hardest part is over the first 2 weeks 😫 now already getting better hang of things 😉👌🏼
@eskawho, so it's not just me! 😏 I didn't even picture or imagine how it would be. I couldn't have lol. But it is what it is...it's like a shock at first and then realization that this is permanent and starting to get used to it. That's really awesome your hubs helps out. And any help sure does help you. It's good👌🏼
My son cluster fed but i just made sure I had that ten minutes every day. Try going for a short walk when you feel ready. Or have a visitor over (someone who can help out with stuff around the house or hold baby if you feel you want to do stuff around the house or cook) take small steps.
First off Hun... Take a shower. As soon as you have fed baby hand them to dad and hop in the shower... Take that 10-15 mins to just breathe.
For my first month of being at home I slept when she slept, ate barely and usually right after she did, and didn't have any cable or internet so all I did was take care of baby and sleep now she's almost 3 months, we have cable, I clean when she naps (since I've recovered from my c section I'm not tired all the time) I'm about to start classes needless to say it's gotten easier ☺️ and it will for you with time
It's hard but for me I waited a month before I took my baby out so it was hard and all I did was take care of baby but when my husband comes home from work he will take her so I get a few minutes to myself to do what I need to do and sometimes that's just a shower...on his days off he will take the night feedings and let me sleep so that helps so much so I don't go crazy.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Took this lastnight...and I'm not sure how I should feel. I've made a terrible mistake by having sex so soon after having a baby but it has made such a precious thing. I really don't want to have an abortion but my Fiancé does. I understand why he wants to go that route but I just would feel absolutely terrible about doing that. I cried all night...I really don't know what to do. PLEASE NO JUDGING IM ONLY POSTING THIS FOR SUPPORT.
Does the doctor need consent from both parents to do a circumcision or just one? I don't want my boyfriend and his mother to try and do this behind my back while I'm all groggy
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
@kaity0117, omg you're soooo right....it can go long way...I haven't done that right from start but soon I figured I gotta have some time to myself. As I get hang of things more the better Im able to manage everything 😊 and its slowly becoming easier.
