Deleted the app for a few months to get my PPD in order. My son will be 6 months on the 24th and the last 3 months have been hell! He’s colicky and cries 95% of the day. I’ve never met a baby that just cries and cries. It hasn’t helped that my fiancé’s work schedule has changed for the 3rd time this cutting my hours back. I’m so overwhelmed at times and just want to run away from being a mom. This shit is hard!
@mommyof2.1117, does he know about your PPD? I would tell him you are in no way ready for another baby anytime soon. You need to recover, however long that may be. Which is a good reason you got the IUD. I had borderline postpartum psychosis after having my son and it was very bad. I’m really nervous about having my second son, it’s such a dark place that I don’t wish on anybody
@mommyof2.1117, yes exactly if U need someone to talk too just messaged me .. venting helps a lot especially to someone who goes through the same thing
@n_favors, yes I have daytime and night time, tried putting him on a schedule with bath time, a story and warm bottle before bed. Nothing is working and he fights his sleep every time he’s ready for bed to the point he’s drenched in sweat. I’m going to bring this up to his pedi on Friday.
@kcamps, thank you. Yes it’s hard, especially already having a child that was easy. I thought what’s one more? To make matters worse my fiancé want to try for a 3rd when our son turn 1, but I’m strongly against it. He don’t know but I have the IUD and don’t plan to tell him until I’m ready.
U got this .. I feel the same way and then think if I can’t take care of my family than who will no one.. they need me .. us mommy hold shit down and I know it’s gets overwhelming but self talk and thinking positive and praying helps a lot
Nobody ever told us how hard it would be, we were coming into this thinking it’ll be just perfect and easy and boy were they wrong. I struggle with PPD everyday, if you ever want to talk to somebody about how you’re feeling that could relate I’m always here
