Chemical Pregnancy/Early Miscarriage Support

1 month post miscarriage

I’m closing in on a month this weekend marks a month since I’ve lost my baby and I think the depression is finally hitting me and my anxiety has been peaked I don’t take medication for it but I’m really starting to think I may need to so I can get through this.
I’m so out of control with my emotions sometimes I just numb myself other days I burst into tears over nothing, and my sister is pregnant with her first baby only a few weeks more than I was so I’m trying to stay excited and do all the baby things she wants to but it’s hard when you’re sitting in grief and anger.
My husband doesn’t know how to talk to me about it and I don’t have any friends that know what this is like, I’m just stuck.

Hi. You’re not alone. I am on day 2 of my second miscarriage in a row and I’m here if you just need someone to listen

I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔 I lost my baby in March and around this week is when that baby would have been due. I thought I felt a little better about the loss but up until now it’s hitting me a little hard. But I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby so I am so thankful for that. You’ll get your rainbow soon mama. Grieve as much and as long as you need too!

I could’ve written this. I lost my baby on Sunday so I’m still in the thick of it but I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes the tears just roll down my face while I’m doing a menial task. I’d reach out to your OB. ❤️

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Showering

What’s everyone putting there wee ones in whilst jumping in the shower? Awake or sleeping.
