So my daughter was born 2 days ago, and I've honestly been having a hard time, the first night I couldn't really attend to her because I was beyond weak (I had to have surgery after delivering due to loss off extreme blood) I came home the next night and I would hear her cry and just cry myself because I was too weak to even see what was wrong, i'm scared to take care of her (cause it's all new to me) I love her little precious self so much but why is it that i'm afraid I won't do a good job? Or I just feel so fragile, I think post partum depression kicked in after delivery all I want to do is cry I need emotional support I need to be stronger for HER , I ask the Lord for sooooo much strength and guidance to be a great mom like my mom was with me :(
I also cried all the time, which is normal, with your hormones all over the place. The roller coaster first couple-few weeks postpartum puts the pregnancy mood swings to shame!
I'll tell you what my mom told me in the early days, when I was feeling like I couldn't do it right... "Motherhood is a dance... and you'll get better at it every day." She was right. You will get the hang of it and find your new normal.
if you need postpartum depression support. there is a group chat on this app that I can add you to if you'd like. you're not alone in this situation. ❤
its not easy transitioning into motherhood, but with God all things are possible! i was in the same boat as you i cried many nights and begged God to help me be a good mom, and He has helped me so much! i'm nowhere near being a perfect mom but i am trying my best to give my daughter all she needs! God is with you momma 💕 He will give you the strength you need to care for your baby 💕 prayers & hugs for you 💖
Don't worry I think is women that become a mom for the first time are always scared/worried we won't be good moms or even close to how our moms were...I felt the same as you! I thought I was going to lose it...cry it all out,it helps I would cry too when I didn't know what to do when my first born would cry non stop...and your motherly instincts will come in naturally we aren't perfect but will get the hang of it ...after the first 2 months it'll get better ..wish u a speedy recovery and whenever you feel lost or like if your going insane just cry it out momma and take a breather 🙂
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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. ?
