Fucking exhausting

I knew having a baby wouldn’t be a walk in the park but this is ridiculous, we’ve been up with her since 12:30, it’s now 3:20! I’m actually so exhausted I’m not even tired anymore. My fiancé has to be up at 7:45 so he’s gone to sleep about 30 minutes ago when I managed to get baby to stop crying. She’s 10 months and only had one night like this. I’ve also kicked the baby gate so I’ve possibly got a broken little toe, last week she headbutted me and broke my tooth so now I look like a crackhead🙃 I’m just adding things that have gone wrong to the biggest list 😭

C section

This unit the reason mommy couldn’t deliver vaginally. He was so chunky wtf. Now he look like a cute lil bean. But fuck I definitely dodged a bullet for my puss not being able to push out a baby his size but also this recovery sucks ass. My boobs are four times bigger; just feelin like a fresh helium balloon and my body feels like it’s getting worse certain days and somewhat better on other days. This is the most bipolar shit my body ever been through. God my first birth was so easy 😭

DP

Husband and I tried DP with a dildo tonight (the same hole) and I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back to just his dick alone. It felt so good to be stretched and full. I’m not saying he isn’t packin’ but it was definitely a different experience.

Hey everyone 👋🏼

So at my 28 week midwife appointment she measured me and was on 97th centile, at 30 weeks again measured on 97th. Had a growth scan yesterday at 30+3 and they said I was on 17th centile?? Which one is more accurate as that’s quite a big difference? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Night terrors?

My baby is 7m and slept through the night since he was about 2m. He’s now started having these panicky episodes several times a night. He’ll still be asleep but it’s like he’s having a really bad dream and takes a few moments to settle down again. This happens about 4 times a night. Nothing in his life/ routine has changed that I can think would cause this? Has something upset him that I’m not aware of? I’m worried and don’t want him being upset like this every night 😰
