Anger and frustration

Hi mamas, I’m 27 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I’ve been feeling a lot of frustration and lingering anger lately. Even small things make me very upset. And I recognise that I didn't have to upset or angry about it, but it keeps building up, and I feel like it’s going to get out of control. How do you manage it?

I feel bad for my husband as well 🥹. I have had heartburn and a cold for a week now. I hate being sick even when im not pregnant, but since I can’t use any medicine right now, it’s made me so frustrated. I feel like no one really understands.

Praying to Jesus helps he asks that we place him directly in the center of everything we do , pray to him when your feeling overwhelmed, angry feel like crying , screaming etc…. Call out to him and he will surround you with his peace and give you a sound mind 🩷Keep him in the center of your pregnancy and you will be greatly blessed.

Walk and workout!!

Also take powdered magnesium I like the calm brand and limit caffeine

I feel the same way except I’m over stimulated from being a SAHM to my 2 kids and I’m jus exhausted by the end of the day from doing activities with them and dealing with he tantrums all day. the tiniest of things irritate and upsets me

I feel this so much. My road rage is next level. I go to 0- 100. It’s been so hard communicating with my partner about my frustrations. Thank god for therapy.

Stroller recommendations

Hi everyone

Can I please ask for stroller reviews from anyone who loves their strollers especially if you push it on cobblestones or rough terrain.

I have a mama’s and papas Flip TX3 which I absolutely hate! Everytime I use it I get back pain from steering it. It’s also super bumpy and makes me worry about baby but she seems not to mind. Baby is 4 months and we have only used it 5 times. If you have a Flip TX3 , does it get better when baby is older and can sit up?

I chose it because of the lie flat option as I didn’t get a bassinet and also because its foldable and we live on the first floor.

I really need something which is those two things but with great suspension.

Thank you

Struggling

My baby just turned 3 weeks and although I was doing so well at the start, I feel like I’m being worn down now. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my life being constant 2 hour increments of feeding, burping, changing and trying to soothe a fussy baby, then grabbing whatever scraps of sleep I can when he goes down is so exhausting. One of my boobs has now started hurting (not the nipple, the boob itself) and I’m so stressed at night trying to get through without my partner waking as he has work the next day. I’m not sure what I’m asking for, I suppose I’m just venting to feel less alone. I’m so grateful to have my baby, but this is so hard and I’m scared.

Feeding
