Antidepressants

Am I being selfish for remaining on my fluoxetine during pregnancy. I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and getting lots of comments regarding coming off my antidepressants for the baby’s sake.

You're not selfish, you need to look after you so you can look after baby 🫶

Although I didn't restart in pregnancy , my midwife reassured me it was ok to take if needed. I had been off them for a while beforehand, didn't stop due to pregnancy

No I did it and took my ADHD meds and he was fine. For my sake and his sake I needed my meds to be the best mum I could be. He’s thriving now 10 months on no issues and I EBF too. Don’t listen to people no one knows how you’re feeling inside. You can always message me if you need some chat about it through pregnancy

i feel as my nearly 8 month old is way too advanced, shes standing on her own, drinking from a straw bottle, has 4 teeth, is beginning to talk, has been saying mama and dad since 6 months, crawling, sitting independently also since 5months

is this a good thing or not?

How are you having sex when you cosleep?

I have an 18mo who for the last 3 months has decided she will only cosleep with me and contact nap. We are trying for our second baby but now I don't know when we can have sex? I can't slip away at night as she wakes every sleep cycle looking for me. She doesn't independently play so I can't slip away in the day. Plus I don't like the thought of having to watch my baby playing on a monitor whilst having sex during the day.

Any tips?
How are all my cosleeping mamas getting some????

Accidentally hurting baby.

I feel so bad, today I was chilling my daughter into her car seat and her chubby thigh got caught in the buckle so her skin was pinched quite hard. She was distraught 😔 she's fine now but I just feel so guilty and like a terrible mum.

Gave birth to my baby girl. Need support and advices to manage c section pain

It’s been 22 hours post surgery. Baby is happy and healthy but I’m having a really rough time with pain. Not sure if it’s due to uterus contractions or the surgery itself but I’m having immense pain that’s not at all tolerable. Hospital nurses and doc expect me to sit and even walk. How to cope with this?
