Emotional

Anyone else feeling super emotional?
I’m 38 + 4 so I’m due in 10 days and I feel guilty for complaining and feeling so miserable all the time as I know there’s women out there what would love to experience being pregnancy and knowing baby feels my emotional. But I’m so over being pregnant😥

I keep telling myself that this is obviously going to be worth it when baby is here and I know it will be but these last few weeks/days are so hard.

Ive been pregnant 3 times but this will be my first baby and I will happily admit that although I’m amazed at what my body has done and I never ever thought I’d witness it, I have not enjoyed it.
Pregnancy is so much harder than I ever thought possible and we’ve sacrificed a lot too! I have so much respect for every pregnant lady!
I’d say don’t feel guilty for complaining, it’s been a long 9 months but we are so close and you are completely right, once they get here, we are going to realise it was worth the hard work 💕
You’ve got this!

Yes! Never been super emotional and I’ve been very relaxed my whole pregnancy. However, yesterday I broke down because my husband didn’t come home early enough from the gym to make it to the pancake place near me. Pregnancy is hard!

I feel you. The smallest of things I find myself crying over. Even if it’s a plate left on the side or some crumbs on the floor or whatever. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
