Hard of hearing/ deaf mums

I know this could be rare or hard to find but I wanted some advice from mums that are hard of hearing or deaf mums. I became deaf in one ear after having a brain tumour removed a couple of years ago. My baby is 6 months and I currently sleep with my hearing aids in. We are transitioning him soon to his own room and I’m so worried I’m not going to hear him even with my hearing aids in. Does anyone have any tips on a monitor or tips that could ensure I will hear him.

It’s almost time

Ive been counting down the days to stop breast feeding my daughter. Her dad and I agreed at 18 months. Shes 17 months now. I’m excited but Im also not sure if I’m mentally ready to stop. Idk. I’m feeling mixed emotions about this journey. I need pointers bc putting her on the boob is literally the only way I put her to bed. Like let me have one night so I can sleep on my stomach pls lol

Too emotional

I’ve been crying since about 3 this morning it’s now 5:50 because my little girl won’t go to sleep. She woke up and just won’t settle and it’s really getting to me. I’m getting so overwhelmed with her fussing and crying and the fact she won’t settle. She’s 10 months today and I’m honestly loosing the plot, I just feel like I’m failing and I’m getting so stressed and exhausted.

My whole world is completely shattered

4 weeks left till I give birth maybe less than last time I got checked I was 1 cm dilated but as I wait for the days to go by , I had end my marriage and it completely broke me down. My body is rejecting everything except baby boy and I thank god for that. If I’m up I’m throwing up or crying I don’t know what else to do besides sleep myself into a migraine 😭 it’s currently 3 am and I have a migraine I’m nauseous and tired but can’t sleep and can’t stop the tears. This is my first and only pregnancy I will have I’m completely traumatized.

Any advice or words to help me get through this break up while in the weeks of my pregnancy?

I’m ready to cheat

3 months postpartum Married and our 1 year anniversary coming up before this relationship I was with a woman for 6 years and I’m starting to realize I never wanted to be with a man lol maybe because I’ve never been taking out of my masculine energy. I love woman and always have, I feel like if my masculine side has to show I would rather give to a woman who deserves it I’m suffering because I’m tired of the same bs I’m ready to go enjoy a females company

Listen to your babies nurse/doctor

Please listen to your babies nurse/doctor when they tell you to wash your hand after every nappy change after they've had the rotavirus vaccine because ohh boy I have been stuck on the toilet most of the night 🤢🚽😅
