I am not coping 😢

I am struggling to since I found out im pregnant with my second.

I dont feel any connection to this baby and dont feel pregnant, i have most days were I feel sick and just exhausted and cant do much and feel guilty for my 15 month old daughter.

I had a scan and turns out I was 9 weeks instead of 12 weeks and that just made me feel worse, I thought once I saw a heartbeat id feel better but I didn't. I dont want to even talk about the pregnancy or even tell anyone about it anymore.

I also am having a hard time dealing with my daughter, shes at a stage where she throws everything and started hitting the tv and stares at me while doing it and I just dont know how to stop her.
Im also not feeling connected to her anymore and struggling everyday to play with her and give her attention. It sounds bad but i doom scroll all day cause I dont feel anything 😢😢😢

Please please get your GP to refer you to talk therapy so you can speak to a professional about your feelings so you can make an informed decision about how to move forward without drowning

Your HV can also help with your daughter's behaviour, could she be sensing that you've "checked out" and be trying anything to get your attention?

Where's the BD in all this? Your family?

I’m sorry you’re going through this.
It’s such a challenging age 15 months. Maybe speak to the health visitor about techniques to cope with her behaviour?
Hopefully the doctors can help and you start to feel better soon.
I don’t know if there’s any charities you can look into for maternal mental health.

Free NB and size 1 diapers (Milly Moon) and free formula (Similac ready to feed and Kendamil) for any new moms or soon to be new moms.

Hello! My new born is growing quickly and grew out of his NB and size 1 diapers. I would prefer to give it to a mother in need or soon to be mother in need than throw out or take it back to target so they can toss it.

Some diapers are out of the box but unused obviously, and the formula my baby needed but his tummy worked better with Bobbie Formula so we have a bunch of Kendamil I bought before he came and a bunch of Ready to Feed Similac.

I live in Chino, CA. If you're interested in it I am willing to give it to a fellow mommy or soon to be mommy.

Dummy Advice!

My little man (almost 4 weeks old) uses me like a dummy! Sometimes I think he gets mad there is milk coming out of my boobs 😂 because he just wants to soothe! Desperately trying to get him to take a dummy but he hates them all! Any advice/ recommendations would be really appreciated! ❤️

Baby moisturisers

Are you putting moisturiser on your babies/ toddlers? I never did as neither my oldest or youngest has particularly dry skin. If so do you have any recommendations?

Maternity bras?

Recommendations for maternity / nursing bras please? I'm due in December and my normal bras are starting to get uncomfortable so I think I need to look at non-wired ones. not too worried about price as long as they're good quality?
