Even though I'm stuck at home 90% of the time, I still find myself wanting to look decent. I still shower daily, sometimes twice if I had especially bad night sweats. I still put make up on every once in a while and I wash my hair every 3 days or so. I find myself shaving my legs constantly and spending extra time oiling my skin. I feel depression sort of creeping up. I thought I'd feel it right away after baby was born but it's like a slow infection. The birth didn't go my way in the slightest, everything that could go wrong, did. I failed at breastfeeding and I'm really close to giving up on pumping because it's so much work. Maybe I have PTSD. Maybe hormones are dropping. I don't know... I just want to feel normal. I want a clean house but it feels damn bear impossible. Sleep deprivation obviously isn't helping.

@sparklymama, thank you! Showering makes me feel in control. My husband is very supportive of my need to shower. It's a victory everyday.
I'm proud of you for keeping up with the small wins like showering... you have endured more than most could with grace and compassion... sending loving energy your way and please if you continue to feel depression creeping in talk to your doc... you have a beautiful soul that deserves to feel great and shine 💪😘
That's how I felt with my second son nothing went my way and I remember just crying so much I couldn't even breastfed my second son at all. And exactly what you said as long as little man healthy and happy. My husband and I and all my brothers and sisters were formula fed as well we are all healthy its normal to be emotion though we want to give what's best for our babies and the hormones don't help it gets better each day! Whatever you choose to do your doing great just remember that! Hang in there hon!
@ab, both my husband and I and all our siblings were formula fed and everybody is strong healthy adults. I got my heart set on things happening a certain way yah know? And literally nothing has gone my way except how beautiful and healthy my Bear is so that should be all that matter. But emotions get carried away I guess.
I felt this when I couldn't get my son to latch I felt like such a failure it will get better pumping is so exhausting so don't feel discourage your truly doing a amazing job and should be proud what you have gave your son! My last 2 sons were formula fed they are healthy happy boys! I'm as well a bit sad because I've made my mind up this will be my last month pumping but if you need someone to talk to and feeling really down ask for a Lactation nurse they are truly a blessing!
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
