I'm not sure if I'm going though postpartum depression or just filled with emotions and hormones but I've been feeling SO overwhelmed lately. I just had my beautiful son 8 days ago and am in so much pain but haven't a choice but to be moving around so I feel like I'm not recovering well. I feel horrible for not being able to breastfeed my baby. My milk is the best for him and I just don't know how to do it! I've tried pumping and it's not working. I see the milk and it's flowing but the pump only pumps one drop per suction and filling up an ounce takes 30 painful minutes. The hospital I went to provided horrible care and didn't teach me a thing. I can't sleep because I'm constantly worried about the baby and if he's breathing, comfortable, and happy😞. On top of that I got a job but believe I missed out on the opportunity because I couldn't do the drug test on time. The dang thing expired a few hours before I got to the place and I didn't know I had to do it before a certain time, and not day. I'm so frustrated. I just want to be able to provide for my baby and things keep getting in my way. I'm in school and missed a week of assignments due to the birth and him being in the NICU for so long. Everything is falling apart and I feel like I have no control anymore. I know baby boy comes first but yesterday I really understood what that meant. I can't just get up and go anymore. Ugh😞😭. I feel like I'm failing him and I've only had him for a week. I just keep crying and crying and I don't know what to do. My entire body is different. I don't feel sexy or even like a woman anymore. My boobs used to be one of my favorite physical features and now I'm just different. Going back to pre baby weight but u have a weird fat pouch☹. I'm so happy I have my baby but I'm so unhappy with how I've been feeling about myself lately.
The pump can't do what you baby can. Keep putting your baby up to your breast and stop pumping. It's only making you more stressed. The baby knows how to get the milk out.
you should stop crying, even if is hard sometimes, take a deep breath and look at your blessing. you need to relax, massage your breast everydays that can maybe help the milk to come down some more... go out with your baby, or try to find some relaxing things to do like spa or something. your hormones still not in place sometimes is normalto feel so frustrated. i hope you will be fine. stay strong 😘
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...
So I found out why I've been feeling so heavy. My baby is already 6lbs😖and I'm 34weeks only😫
I am honestly in complete shock rn . Me & my bf really just broke up . & the sad part is I'm the one who did the breaking up . I've never seen him so upset . What did I do ? Like I can't even cry . I have no emotion . To know that I just broke up with my boyfriend who I supposedly loved so much . Maybe I didn't love him . Or maybe I couldn't love him the way he needed to be loved. idk all I know is I got tired of being a pain in his ass . I think it's for the best ... He'll find someone who appr...
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?

@sabby, Awww thank you mama! Things have been really rough lately. He's a great baby, the coolest ive ever seen. He sleeps a lot and only cries if he needs something but I miss feeling like myself after 9 months of giving my body away 😞
