Hi! I’d recommend speaking to a doctor, probably a gyno to help identify if it is PMDD

I also contributed to this article that may be a helpful resource https://vegnews.com/how-diet-affects-pmdd-symptoms

thank you! I’ll give it a read. I didn’t know diet could affect it too!

I was diagnosed with this 5 years ago by a psychiatrist but I'm still unsure that it's correct (she also has told me I'm bipolar and some other things so it's really hard to know) the only for sure thing was when I was having a period (the whole duration of my pregnancy and post partum I haven't had a single symptom) the rage was alive and well. My gyn didn't seem interested in finding why I was like this. I have yet to find a new one (have been too busy with new baby) I even asked if I maybe have some sort of hormonal imbalance. Idk it's hard. I feel you. It can be hard knowing what's wrong and where to start. I'd go with a therapist and they can help from there, get you to a psychiatrist who can evaluate you. An endocrinologist can help as well with looking at hormones and such

Ya! If you have questions or want to chat further about it, feel free to message :)

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.
