Just a rant

Little about me first. I’m 22 I live in ormskirk and I have 2 cats.

It’s been a little while since my miscarriage. It was the 22nd of October. I was in hospital for a long time and nearly lost my own life because of it. I’m still not okay I still cry i still can’t look at babies I sleep with this little bunny my exs mum got us that says cuddle from heaven on the belly with a scan pic don’t get me wrong I’m not like it all the time I’m happy I laugh I go out I’m normal but there’s moments and I’m dreading mother day it would have been my first one and I know I’m not going to be okay but everyone around me expects me to be they have quite literally told me to get over it. I also have like 0 friends to talk to and that’s not me being dramatic. I also recently got broken up with by the babies dad so I can’t even talk to him. I just need to get it off my chest.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
