I was like this a couple of weeks ago (now 26 weeks). I just cried at everything. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, I found it really helped to talk to people about how I was feeling and to recognise what was making me feel that way when it happened. I hope you’re able to get support from people around you.

If it helps, it did pass and I’m now crying at happy things, constantly. I’m having to stop myself scrolling reels on insta because all the cute baby videos are setting me off. Bloomin hormones.

I just went through this the last few weeks, just felt so down and emotional and couldn’t stop crying, I’ve also been going through a pretty tough and stressful time in my life! I think it’s just all the hormones and stress that all just need to come out! Nothing wrong with a good cry to regulate your emotions and speak to the people around you about how you are feeling, I spoke to my partner about it and it helped a lot just to let it all out🙌🏻I also found that making sure I have more physical connection with my partner every day, a good cuddle every day helps to keep me calm and regulated (if you are a cuddly person as I know some people just prefer the opposite😂)x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....
