Is about something in particular or your health in general? I got it really bad after my first baby, kept convincing myself I was going to die off something I didn't know I had and ended up making a lot of doctors appointments for moles to be looked at and stuff- I know that's a lot easier in the UK though and depending on where you are it may not be viable, but could you ask for a general health check from your doctor?
Yes I did! And I just have elevated cholesterol! But now I’m trying to use meditations and distractions to realize that I’m just overthinking it all!

I don’t feel like I’m a good mum, I cannot stand my child clinging onto me/screaming I literally want to smack my head against a wall every time she makes that screeching noise I am seriously exhausted and I have no help whatsoever.

Ive lost my patience
I am only 12 weeks but I fell like ive lost my patience with my 15 month old, all day long im just constantly telling her off for hitting the tv, climbing on the back of the sofa to get to the window, throwing things at the cat and laughing. Im not enjoying being with her and that sounds horrible 😢
Im not enjoying my pregnancy in the first place and feeling exhausted everyday aswel cause my daughter is sleeping in our bed every night as she cries the moment i get near her cot 😢
Im just feeling lost

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Anyone else co nap with their babies/kids? I keep getting told "oh just put her down in her cot where she should be" "you can get stuff done then"
Honestly really annoys me. If I was to do that she would not nap long an be cranky all day cos she tired. An who has to struggle with it ..... Me!
Sorry for the rant guys. Anyone understand?

Breast feeding
I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
