What do you do when stressed to the MAX?

Working mom stressed out to the max how do I get time to rest like an immediate way… like this week. I feel like jumping off a bridge and I guess I’m having a hard time with boundaries work is swamped I got a 3 day notice to move the first week of November car was repossessed first week of November work is retaliating against me from my maternity leave this is all just toooo much what do I DO or say

Kaiser is taking forever for an appointment with a therapist or any work note for time off so I can just figure my life out so I’m like stuck in this anxious cycle I haven’t ate since October!!

That's a lot to unpack but also a lot unsaid. How old are your kid(s)? What does your other half do? I'm guessing the move notice was because of unpaid rent?
Stop, breathe, eat, get someone to watch the kids and figure out a plan. I have no idea where you are but I am sure there are government resources available to you, especially with an infant. Message me and maybe I can help you find some

It's perspective. Yes, this all sounds tough. And shitty. To bring you back to your strength always look at what you do have. Start there. Work your way up to things you can accomplish little by little. Each will help. I think of people who would be happy to change places with me - when I'm having a hard time- and it helps me remember what I have. Get a good nights rest and do the best you can tomorrow.

thank you. I have a 1 year old. His dad helps with babysitting that’s about it.

Yes unpaid rent from leave

thank you!!! I love this reminder to be grateful and shift my mind onto what’s going good

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx
