Struggling to accept

I have one of each and I’m pregnant with my 3rd and it’s a boy. I’m so desperately sad that I won’t have a girl again. I’m trying to come to terms with it and I’m just having flashbacks of my time with my daughter and it makes me sad that I won’t ever get to experience that again. My son has been a rough baby compared to my daughter. I’m just worried I’m gonna have a rough time with the new baby like I did with my son. This is my LAST baby and I’m angry and sad that this is it. How do I accept this? I’m hate change and always thought I would have two girls.

Gender disappointment is real and normal. I know a lot of women who have experienced it heavily. As their babies grew and eventually when they gave birth, they just forgot all about it. Every baby and pregnancy is different!

I would absolutely not say you're an asshole for this. Your feelings are 100% valid, and they're going to be heightened right now due to your pregnancy. Remind yourself every baby is different and has a different temperament.

My baby is not even 4 days old and loves to roll on his left side to sleep.

No matter how many time I correct him back on his back he still rolls over. Should I be concerned? His bassinet isn’t wide enough for him to fully roll. When he side lays he can’t go farther than that.

😡

I decided to give my fiancé the baby and finally take a nap being that I was on go for almost 24hrs straight! I’ve told him a NUMEROUS amount of times that he has to turn the a/c when he puts her in her bassinet bc the air goes directly over here

I just woke up to my baby crying and literally shivering to the point her lips were starting to turn purple. And he’s SLEEP!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I want to punch him awake so bad. How do I bring it up to him without crashing out??

Should I be scared for whenever I have sex again?

I haven’t had sex since I was 5 months pregnant & my daughter is already 16 months old. I had a second degree tear as well haven’t even used a tampon or put my finger in there as I’m scared it might either hurt, feel weird or be very loose 🤦‍♀️

Intense Constant Braxton Hicks

I’ve honestly lost count how many I’ve had today and they are sooooo uncomfortable and starting to hurt. Been getting them non stop all day and evening and especially tonight I’ve noticed I’m not getting a break from them. Anyone else? 😭 (this is my third baby and I’ve never had them like this before)
