I'm not sure what can help me at this point

I was never this depressed with my daughter but me being pregnant with my son and alone. All I do is cry and I can't even get out of bed most days to even feed myself. I feel so lost and I am trying to be strong for my daughter but I can't anymore. I tried everything meditation, going on drives. And even go to the park. Nothing helps. It just makes it worse. I regret having another pregnancy. I feel so ashamed to admit that.

im currently going through that now, but this is my first. the only thing that’s giving me hope besides God is that i know pregnancy doesn’t last forever. For me it’s way worse at nights, when im laying there by myself, and I’m in my thoughts. I have bpd and anxiety, and since being pregnant i haven’t be taking meds for it, and i feel like that plays a big factor in it too. I didn’t know prenatal depression is real until i started going through it, i always heard at ppd but never ab prenatal, and i just don’t feel like it’s talked ab enough yk?

Sending you soooo much love ❤️

I went through this my entire pregnancy and It gets better I promise 🫶🏽I still have my days but it gets a little easier each time

Its nothing to be ashamed of, depression is a serious illness. Do you have any kind of support structure?

how did you get over it?

I have no one

@lindsay mine is definitely worse at night when the house is quiet and my pain starts

Find a support or mothers group in the area, a playgroup for your daughter even

Also always happy to chat

really just focusing on my baby he’s helped me through a lot

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!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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

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.
