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
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?
Anterior placenta?
I found out yesterday, at my 20 week scan, that I have an anterior placenta and won't feel my baby kick as much due to it. Not until late pregnancy. Anyone else have the same thing? If so, when did you feel your baby kick?
all pregnant women complain we're pregnant we have every right to complain doesn't matter if your early in pregnancy or late in pregnancy I complained everyday of my entire pregnancy because it really sucked for me and I'm only about to be 39 weeks so I'm gonna complain even more
So what during pregnancy can't you have or do that you are really looking forward to having the ability to have it?
I can't wait to have beer again and to free fall onto my bed on my belly.
I'm so nervous I have to go to the DMV tomorrow to take my written exam and im scared I won't pass it. I have court on Wednesday for not having a driver's license and I know the judge is going to get on my ass for not having my DL. I've just been so stressed out. After the written test when can I go for the driving test?
maybe hes not ready ? @cybilinside
