So touched out

I need like an hour break of just nobody making sound and nobody touching me that I can just lay down and wrap myself in a blanket and be comfortable... A nap would be great but like just no sound or touching and being able to eat a warm meal would be amazing. I'm tired of breastfeeding every hour, I'm tired of being climbed on, I don't want my husband kissing me, I'm tired of not being able to eat, I'm tired of hearing my husband snore, the dog barking, cat meowing, the baby crying, the toddler yelling... I feel like I'm just going to scream

Yes all of that. I also just came down with a stomach bug and I’m dreading the morning when I have to go back to being “online”

You're not alone 😭 A hot meal at the table would be soooooo nice (without having to shovel it in worried baby will wake or hearing the baby cry). Best wishes to you and I hope you are able to finds ways to cope in this time.

On top of that, leaking all over the place 😭

This is so real. Have your husband watch the kids and take yourself out to dinner. You can eat takeout in the car if you don't feel like eating inside. If that's too much, just take a walk. Go outside and get some fresh air. If that's not an option either, get some noise-cancelling headphones! Obviously you can't start them all the time, but they could be helpful when the sound gets to be too much.

genuinely thought about earplugs to reduce the noise

I don't have a stomach bug but I started my first postpartum period like two days ago so I already feel extra irritable and crappy

Oh noooo! No fun at all 🫠

100% second the noise canceling head phones! Total game changer. It just takes the edge off a bit and it makes a huuuuge difference!

My therapist recommended "loop" ear plugs. It just reduces the sound to take the edge off. Of course there are also just full noise blocking. They have off brand too that are around 10 dollars a pair verses the 20 or plus dollars for name brand

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
