Little vent

I hate to vent but it’s needed… I hate being pregnant!

This is my first pregnancy and honestly I waited so long for this and was beyond excited for the whole process.

I am so grateful to be pregnant and I can’t wait to meet my little girl but I am having a horrible time.

I’m 21 weeks and had sickness up until 19 weeks. I have no energy, absolutely exhausted all the time. I’m moody and snappy. I have 0 social battery. I’m uncomfortable.
Just over the whole thing already.

My boyfriend is amazing. Literally carrying me, he does everything for me with no complaints. I feel so guilty that I can’t just give him a positive attitude and affection.

I’m so excited to have my baby but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

A teeny bit sad today

My partner and I have been dedicating ourselves sooo much to our baby girl that we are struggling to find ways to stay connected to ourselves. I am really good at getting tasks done in short bursts but he isn’t. So I’m finding that I’m doing a lot and he says he feels he is falling behind. He set a goal to return to a sport while all this is going on and for some reason, this sport seems tied to him feeling good about himself. He’s wonderful at being a dad and a partner, so I’m trying to find ways to show him that. But it kind of feels like I’m taking on a little too much now with a 2 month old and my partner who doesn’t seem to be in a good place to receive my love / appreciation.

Did anyone else see this change in their partners? Almost like a depression in the dad?

fighting resentment

I love my husband so much but when I am breastfeeding at all hours of the night and i look over to see him sleeping i cant help but feel pangs of resentment. He works full time and I’m a SAHM so i literally WANT him to get his sleep, i choose not to wake him up for diaper changes or anything because he works hard outside all day and he needs to rest. Even so, illogically my brain just gets frustrated to see him sleeping when im waking up 3-7 times a night to bf.

Ive never liked or wanted kids and did not plan or want to get pregnant, so even though i love my baby i think when im so exhausted caring for the baby its also making me resentful. Everytime he says he is so tired i just want to drop kick him.
How do i manage this? or can you just tell me im not alone in it.
I really feel like he doesnt grasp how much work breastfeeding at night is and how exhausted it makes me.

Am I a bad mom or is this normal….what can I do I need advice

Okay so I don’t know if this is my fault but my 17 month old son as much as I love him has been a little terrorist lately like not 100% of the time but enough for me to be a bit concerned like he’s been hitting throwing toys pulling hair screaming in my face and full blown tantrums and just plainly being mean acting like a bully and he used to listen when I would redirect him or tell him to stop but the defiance has been so real the past few days he will laugh in my face when I tell him no about something and then continue to do it I’m currently pregnant with my second and I’m due in mid May so getting up and chasing him has been a lot harder is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced this because I’m starting to feel like I’m a bad mother or that it’s my fault…

What do you do with your kids when you go into labour?

Hi mamas,
Just wondering what you all do with your children when you go into labour if you don’t have family nearby? I have two kids and no support around, so I’m trying to figure out a plan.
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences 💛

Which food did your baby try first? I’m thinking about doing all vegetables first. Or should I do every other day? Let me know what you ladies did! My baby is 4 months + 1 week and just started plain oatmeal with breast milk yesterday 🥰 I’m so excited to let him try flavors soon!
