PLEASE HELP! 😩😩😩Mom’s I need advice ASAP. My son has been stressing me the f*ck out lately. To the point where I envision myself hitting him. Of course I would NEVER EVER EVER!!!! But I don’t like feeling like that AT ALL. Ive asked my mom to watch him so I can get some time to myself but her response was “oh well deal with it” What should I do?? I feel trapped I haven’t gone out without my son since he was born!!!
Until things work out with a sitter I would suggest talking to other moms on here to release, putting yourself in positive situations, find humor and add it to your daily life. Laughter relieves so much stress. Sit your son somewhere safe and walk away during those moments. As always, if you feel depressed seek help before it worsens. We're all here pulling for you. ❤️
@aloha808, Oh yikes, yeah my husband said the same thing. He said I changed a lot & he was worried about me. I was worried about myself too. Yeah I was born 1995. I still feel like PPD isn’t talked about enough. I think a lot of moms feel ashamed for it, I know I did.. :/ but its common and shouldn’t make anyone feel ashamed. No one is perfect.
@sarasmilesatyou, I agree too I wish I did too take it earlier with my last pregnancies and since knowingly after the birth of my third I realize maybe I should try it. My other half told me I was a total different person when we got home from the hospital. But after that I had mirena put in and that caused my mood swings bad, so much side affects I took it out. I think I’m older than you are lol but back in the early 2000 postpartum wasn’t talked about a lot. I talked to my midwife after my second one and she told me to check myself into the hospital 🤷🏻♀️nowadays they do a two week check after birth to see how the mom is doing.
@aloha808, Yeah it took me awhile, but I finally decided that maybe it’d be best if I tried it. I’m glad I did. I kinda wish I tried it sooner, because I was always feeling so tired and crazy. They started me at 25 mg for Zoloft and when I asked them to up my dosage it changed to 50 mg. But I regret upping it. I liked how I felt with just 25 mg.
@sarasmilesatyou, I was too against medication but I found out there’s no shame in it because we as mom need to take care of us before we take care of our babies. After this birth I’m going back on it most def! I was on 10 mg Zoloft what dosage are you on now?
@aloha808, Oh yeah, I felt like I could feel even better if I upped my dosage. I was wrong. A higher dosage is making me feel strange and not myself. I think the low dosage is helpful and you still feel like you. I’m going to tell my doctor I want to go back to the low dosage. I was against medication at first, but it really helps a lot!
@sarasmilesatyou, I did too even if it was a small dosage since I was breastfeeding it helped a lot!!
Maybe you should look into taking Postpartum medication. That’s what I did.
@briannahill1293 im sorry your feeling that way its so overwhelming when you have no help:/ especially when your pregnant! Can u get daycare at all? If u ever need to talk im here.
@roguemommyofjx3 of course. I'll only change it when I can find an upgrade 😂😂
@worlds.okayest.mom Good. I was wondering what had happened to you. I see you stood with the photo. 😂
@roguemommyofjx3 good! How are you?
Put him in a safe place in your home like a crib? Or a pack and playpen if you have one and just walk away for a min and breath. Some times you just need to breath.

Have you thought about going on a site like sittercare to find someone that could keep him just for a couple of hours just for you to get away for a little?
@briannahill1293, I was getting overwhelmed often and fatigue certainly makes things worse. I found out that I was suffering with postpartum depression. I was put on meds and things turned around so quickly. If you think that might be it, talking to someone might be worth it ☺️
@dbarton041, yes everyday!!!!!!! I have like a ton of emotions going through. I don’t like the fact that I’m imagining myself harming my child.
Agree with @roguemommyofjx3 and @worlds.okayest.mom, If you have someone else to watch him for a bit, breaks are important. Are you feeling overwhelmed often?
@roguemommyofjx3, I do but she’s sick with the flu!!! And omg an hour ugh that’s terrible

Do you have anyone else you trust with him? I only been out once alone since my daughters birth and it was only an hour.
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...
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.

What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
