really down
So my little one id 6 months and a week and ever since he was 3 months i needed to change blood pressure medicine and now i know i dont have a choice cuz im always not feeling good and have been gaining weight from it plus tond of weird side effects. I have a doc appt on tuesday to change medications so i would neef to start formula on monday to start supplementing soi can solely do formula. Anyways ive been so depressed about it i cant even describe it. Feeling like a horiable mom cuz i have the milk to give him and now im not able to without hurting him or hurting myself. Cuz ive been needing to get on another one for a while. Anything would help at this point. I know i shoudve pumped ahead and i couldve had extra milk i feel like such a bad mom. A let down tht i knew and didnt do it.now i dont get the bonding time. Because my blood pressure is so high:/ sorry this is long:(
You need a big hug!
Please don’t be hard on yourself. Count the months you have provided wonderful breastmilk for bub.
You are a great mum for sticking with breastmilk for this long. What is most important is your own health, without which you can not look after bub well.
And it won’t feel like it at the moment, but in a year or two you will come to realize feeding is only a very small part of motherhood.
Please get your health in order, bub will appreciate a Mum who feels good about herself mentally and physically.
So I've been drinking a ton of water since I was brought up to my room and I've been pumping every 2 hours but I'm not pumping anything. Feeling really discouraged. The nursery isn't giving babygirl any formula as they have her hooked up to an IV but Im already feeling like a failure :(
im hungry as hell but dont have an appetite for anything. feels like I'll hurl to anything i eat. plus my headache is back. i really hope my blood pressure isn't high
‼️QUESTION‼️
I have been monitoring my blood pressure but I was wondering what is "too high" for the top number and "too high" for the bottom number also what's a good heart rate average
Since having my baby ive been having a hard time feeling confident in myself. I dont think im attractive anymore and dont feel sexy in my clothes
Thank you. Those words mean a lot its been tough just thinking about the bonding time:(.
