I am and my baby started the fussiness
/ cry at night while sleeping.. like why?! when does it end! i am now wearing earplugs to bed so i can sleep and tune some of the noise out. my doula said it ends in 18 months! this is wild.

3 weeks is a hard phase! Babies go through growth spurts and one is at 3 weeks old. They get sooo fussy during that time frame, it’s so hard. But it doesn’t last forever ❤️ plus there’s the “4th trimester “ it’s biologically normal and healthy to be clingy to mom but especially during their first 3 months of life. It’s gets easier Mama!

My boy has been fussy off and on this week so I can relate...lol he's also exactly 3 weeks

It does get better but it is still a lot I felt like I didn’t sleep for 3 months and everybody just like enjoy it while u can they won’t be small forever n im just like im soooooo tired 😭I’m pregnant with my second baby n I will say looking back I miss it even though I was exhausted n pushed beyond limits I miss that first night home with her she was so tiny 🥺 I miss trying to get her to burp n she fall asleep in my arms slightest tap on the back she was out 😭 now she’s 3 and growing up too fast learning how to do things on her own n I just wish I could hold my lil baby one more time it’s so bittersweet 🥺

My baby girl is 7 weeks and I have been there since week 3. It has been so hard. I did get some help from my mom from week 2-4. Now that I am on my own besides my husband. Some days are better and some are sooo hard, I feel like Im going to go insane and ask for some breaks when he comes home. Baby girl is very much a velcro baby with me tho so breaks are super short.

I am🫩 my baby is 2 weeks old and he started with fussiness 2 days ago. Cries while sleeping, starts to grunt and not sleep, doesn’t want to sleep in his bassinet and only in my arms or chest. He doesn’t have reflux or colic and it’s reallyyy hardd at night, he roughly sleeps 4 hours in the entire night🫩

One Month Today💜💜

My Ella is a month old today and I just…I don’t remember how life was before her and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year is gonna be!

C section belly pain

Hi! My c section was December 2024. At my 6 week checkup, i shared i had this point tender pain like an inch above and maybe .25 inches to the right of my belly button. Got an ultrasound a nothing. 15 months later im still having this point tenderness. Sometimes the pain is more apparent, sometimes baby is held a certain way and i get pain there. Not sure if a nerve thing, an adhesion, something else? Anyway thought I would ask if anyone has dealt with something similar. Did you figure out what caused it?

What does labour feel like and when do you know it started?

I have two and a half weeks to go and I'm starting to get nervous about every pain or ache I get. What does it actually feel like/ where does the pain start or come from?

Movements at 31 weeks

Felt some big movements over the last few days but then much less today. Still had some movement but fewer and not as strong. Think baby has flipped so his back is now t the front but unsure. Anyone else had days with less movements as we approach the last few weeks ?

Upper stomach pain

37+3 got upper stomach pain like the ache you get after being sick and straining but it's been constant for hours now.

Bubba is breech so could it just be that he's having a stretch about? It's just making me feel crappy. Anyone else have this?

Implant?

Has anyone else had the implant in & has been bleeding constantly since? I had my baby in December & had the implant after, been bleeding constantly & probs 1/2 days clean in total. Really starting to annoy me, I know it’s one of the side effects but still 🤦🏻‍♀️ if you experienced this, what did you do? Did you tell the doctors or anything?
