Less than 2 weeks postpartum and I swear I'm falling apart. My baby won't nurse, won't latch at all no matter what I do, so I spend my life attached to a pump and I'm really feeling like a failure. My scalp itches SO badly I can't sleep at night.... This happened last pregnancy too and I have no idea why or how to make it stop, I've already scratched a raw spot on one side in my sleep. Ppd is kicking up despite my antidepressants that I started immediately after giving birth and my anxiety is through the roof. I have mastitis and my right boob is horribly red and swollen. Oh and I'm pretty sure I have a vaginal prolapse judging by the weird feeling, incontinence and what I saw in the mirror, but I can't get in to my ob till Friday. I'm so stressed out. I love babies, I want all the babies, but my body just falls apart more and more each pregnancy. Sorry just really need to vent, I'm so freaking exhausted and stressed out right now.
@sarataylor0906 I thought about that but I had express before I put him on and as soon as the nipple is in his mouth he just flat out quits trying. Even with a nipple shield hes only latched once. He struggles to get a good latch even on the bottle sometimes, I have to keep pulling it out and repositioning. The Dr's say he has no tongue tie and his lip tie "isn't bad" but something isn't right.
@cybilinside your milk flow might also be the reason, if your milk is coming out slow then that could be another reason why your baby wont latch on
@cybilinside hang in there mama! 😇 try pumping for 5 minutes then put her/him on the boob... threy dont want to latch most of the time because it takes a minute for the milk to come out
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.
