Mood and mental health all over the place…

I’m 32 weeks and just not a happy camper. I’ve been crying a lot, having bad or mean thoughts, very irritable, can’t get comfortable because everything hurts, and feeling isolated. Is this normal in the third trimester? I feel bad for my partner because my attitude sucks but also I don’t because he’s not the one who’s pregnant and stuck at home most of the time. I want to exercise and try to do things and prepare the house for the baby but I am just so exhausted and can’t stand for more than an hour without being in pain. I have no sex drive and I feel so ugly. I just want to feel better again, like myself. Everyday I wake up now, I’m just miserable and overwhelmed by daily tasks. My pets and my partner probably feel so neglected but I honestly don’t have it in me to do more or be better. I have so much brain fog, I haven’t been able to keep up with my schedule or appointments. I just feel like a mess. When will this be over? Does this get worst postpartum? Please someone help. :(

i was very emotional third trimester with my first & even more emotional my third trimester this pregnancy it’s so normal , your hormones are so high & no man will ever understand how you truly feel & how you literally can’t control it.. all you can do is try to communicate your feelings.

and girl i have zero sex drive & thankfully my man understands but for me personally no sex drive is normal that happened in my first pregnancy as well and for some time after - it’s normal also!
try to find a relaxing hobby .. like coloring or something calm don’t stress about the house being ready just make sure it’s picked up & everything for baby & yourself is ready!!
you got this mama!

Yep. If I’m not sleeping, I’m crying. Which is rough for my husband bc I have 2 toddler boys under 4YO also crying lmfao

This is normal but also same😭

Binky after 6+ months?

So my son has recently turned 6 months and a week or so. I wanted to know what you guys are doing binky wise? Are you weening or ? Because I have only been letting or giving him his when he cry’s super bad having a hard time sleeping or if he grabs it himself. Doing it this way I have noticed him slowly put the binky down himself but maybe I’m moving too early?

ER visit

Took my 4 year old last night to the Er with a ear infection. They asked her two questions “Donyou feel safe at home ? She reply no . Does any one hurt you she reply big bubba .

Okay ladies this is not true . Her and her big bubba wrestle and play fight . And I honestly don’t think she understood the first question . I’m freaking out and wondering if I will get CPS on me

3 month baby lost most of her hair?

Hey all - my 3 month old has lost almost all her hair 😢 she looks like Groundskeeper Willy right now. She has a bit of cradle cap, but the hair lost is a ring around her head. Is this expected? She was my little ginger haired girl 🥺

Unbelievable

My MIL told my husband that I should be breastfeeding(nursing) and that pumping is not the right way to feed my baby….
Anyone else thinks that’s wild??

Maternity bralettes

Hi ladies, I’m looking for recommendations for natural material (cotton, bamboo, etc) padded bralettes.

I’m a 23 weeks pregnant with a very small chest but wide back. I’ve always been blessed that I can wear bralettes and looking for some that I can wear now and for breastfeeding that have some padding so my nips don’t show 😅 I’m also very aware that my boobs should be getting bigger later on so a bit unsure about sizing if anyone has any advice. Thanks ❤️

Kendamil issues

Hey, has anyone had issues with the brand Kendamil. We used Kendamil classic first and baby was having the worst digestive upset after stopping breast milk and exclusively formula feeding. She’s straining, going red in the face, grunting a lot and farting lots. She also takes days to poop! We switched to Kendamil goat formula and it’s made no difference.
