Feeling sad

I’m aware that this should be an extremely happy and exciting time and at the beginning it was. We told my partners parents the other week after I had a 6w scan and it was perfect and lovely. This week all I have done is cry, for no reason it seems. I feel insecure and sad and lonely and my boyfriend is perfect and the best support I could ever want but I feel like constantly being negative is going to get to him but it’s just how I feel. I’m not sure if it’s just hormones and I’m hoping it’ll pass soon

Im 9+4 today (from what I know) hbu??
Yes I looked back on my sons journal and its soo cute to see what I was thinking and feeling at that same point. I had written that i had a dream at 7 weeks he was a boy (and he was) and had a dream about the new arrival being a boy the other day so will be interesting to see haha. 🥰

I definitely think it’s hormones. I’m usually v chill but I’m getting so irritated by my partners 2 kids and how lazy they are. Honestly not liking them being around awful as I sound. And my partner is so nice but I’m literally picking up the smallest negatives he says to me. Hopefully it will stop soon as I’m at week 11 this weekend. Maybe try have a nice walk or lunch together or something and tell him how you feel?

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way, I know exactly that feeling of being irritated by things. That’s a good idea, thank you 💕

one told me off for eating a brownie she made (there were 5 left for her!) and I went mad at my partner about how selfish she is. I can’t bring myself to apologise as I stand by that it is selfish - so maybe that’s just who I am now haha!! Hope you manage to feel a bit better, it will pass I’m sure xx

No i understand, stress levels are high and it’s understandable ❤️ I hope you feel better soon too

I was exactly the same between weeks 5-7 literally so upset all the time! Mine has passed now and I feel good again so hopefully the same will happen to you as well!x

It’s good to hear that it passed- fingers crossed it does for me too 😭 x

Girlie same. I’m 7 weeks and last night I sat and SOBBED over pasta. Yup. PASTA….its hormones lovely, so normal just be patient and be kind to yourself, you’re growing a human being! Your body is freaking out thinking about how it’s going to deal with it so everything is all over the place this early. Remember, a lot of people won’t even know they’re pregnant at this stage, a lot is happening. You got this🤍

I’m the same! I’m 6 weeks and have not stopped crying and feeling like my head is going to explode with stress even though there’s not even that much to stress about. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping it’s the hormones because I feel like a psycho bitch at the moment and feel bad for my boyfriend 🙈

I went through this when I first found out, I felt numb like I was in a dream, I cried and cried and cried because I was terrified about the future and if I’m going to be good enough etc. I kept beating myself up thinking I should be happy! I’m 8 weeks now and those feelings seem to have passed although don’t get me wrong I still have my moments I’m sure it’s just the shock of finding out and hormones. We are all different and it’s okay to have these feelings everything will fall into place just look after yourself . It will get easier 🥰x

I felt similar during my first pregnancy. I felt depressed, anxious, self conscious. I’d cry at the drop of a hat or get pissed off over ridiculous things. I was overly critical of everything my partner did and everything felt like the end of the world. I was so easily agitated. At times I even questioned if I’d made a terrible mistake in getting pregnant, sometimes I’d worry I wouldn’t bond with my baby because of how I was feeling. I felt that way for months. However in the third trimester it just stopped. Like it had never even happened, woke up one day and felt fine! Overnight back to normal and didn’t feel that way again. Pregnancy does funny things to you! I’ve heard most people stop feeling crappy by the end of the first trimester but it can return again in the third, for me it started towards the end of the first trimester and ended in the third. So don’t worry if Google says you should be feeling different than you do at a certain stage.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
