Feeling down

Does any other mama go into moods where you feel like you’re not good enough? Like there’s this overly pending doom about to hit and everything you do just feels 10x harder and overthinking doesn’t help.
Like I am trying super hard but right now it’s hard to show up and I just feel the depression setting in hard.

Yes! I've been going through that lately. My husbands bipolar and it's been kicking his butt lately. Our 2 girls barely want anything to do with me unless they are yelling. I can't drive because I have seizures, but honestly I wish I could. Right now a few days doing what I want and getting time for myself without feeling bad and him getting to see what it would be like in my shoes would be perfect. I feel like im worthless and can't do anything right. Sometimes I'll just get the thought in my head that the family would be so much better if I just left. I try to remind myself of different things parents go through, but it's really hard to stay positive when you feel like you don't even matter. 😞

I understand that… my husband had DID and I have Bipolar and lately it feels like we are both down and battling but how we cope is super different and our son has been nothing but the best but it’s still hard because I feel like I’m failing him in many ways. I always wonder if they’d be better with someone else…

I struggle with PMDD and feel this heavily

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Nappy’s ?

How many packs of nappies should I get? I currently have 4 packs of 24 in the 1st size and 1 pack of size 2

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Is two packs of diapers, a pack of bibs from the registry, a Hape brand baby toy, and a bottle warmer enough to give a first time mom friend at her baby shower?

The bottle warmer is something I already owned (very lightly used) and it’s the brand that goes with the bottles she chose. I offered her mine so she didn’t have to buy one and she was like hell yeah. But now I’m wondering if I’m bringing enough to the shower because the bottle warmer isn’t something I’m purchasing brand new. Lmk!!!!!
