Pregnancy / Baby Care Books

Hi, just wondering what books anyone can recommend for preparing for birth (for birth partners too) and baby care once the baby has arrived. There are a lot on the market so wondering if there is a clear winner.

Citalopram & propranolol

Hello ladies 👋

Ive always struggled with anxiety but it has been manageable to a point.
Since having my youngest 2 years ago my anxiety has slowly gotten worse to the point i was spiraling daily.
I started seeing a occupational therapist about 6 months ago, then around 2 months ago i started with really bad health anxiety also.
When I saw my therapist about 4.5 weeks ago we decided medication might be the best way forward.
I called docs next day and got prescribed propranolol 40mg x 1 a day... they helped my heart palpitations and with getting hot and sweaty but i find i stuffer with a tense jaw and they dont seem to be helping with that 🙈
Anyway, last week i called again to speak about my meds, the doctor has now prescribed me citalopram 10mg once a day and upped my propranolol to twice a day.
Think im on day 7 now of citalopram and side affects havent been too bad.. i decided to take it before bed.
I have been suffering with bad head aches and waking up alot in the night/early mornings.. im also absolutely knackered🥺 im soo exhausted all the time anyway to the point I asked docs for a blood test to make sure all is ok and it is but now with these tablets im feeling alot more drained.

Did anyone else get extreme fatigue from these and did it improve? 🤞 also if theres any successful stories etc i would love some great feedback.

First time taking medication for my anxiety and abit nervous about it xx

Cheating boyfriend

I had this weird feeling and I checked his phone right now and I found out when I was working 3rd shift on Friday he had someone over to our apartment and they had sex. I had cramps that night and apparently it was right as the girl came over so I’m convinced it was my tuition. He even answered my texts while she was over. She knows about me.

I am 8 months pregnant and we just signed a new lease. I don’t know how to cope with this but now I don’t want to sleep in the bed I don’t want to be on the couch I don’t want to look at him I just feel so disgusted and disgusting. We haven’t had sex for weeks.

I’ve stressed this entire pregnancy and I feel like that’s why my baby is measuring small. He went from 75th percentile to 34th between 19-28 wks.

I feel like my pregnancy experience has been robbed from me. I feel so ugly

Wanna be SAHM

I am pregnant with my first baby and planning on taking 18months mat leave. I know it will go by fast.

My mom was a full time sahm and it was so nice to have her around more growing up. I know it’s not an easy job but I always thought I would like to be a sahm too when kids came into the picture…at least when they are really little.

I have a good career but it’s busy and stressful at times. I am lucky I can work from home 50% but I just wish I could focus on family life for the next while….i just don’t know how to do it or where to start . The world we live in is expensive, kids are expensive so we really do need two incomes unless have a plan on how to make this thought realistic.

How do you full time sahm do it? Have i missed the “trick”?
I’ve looked into starting a business ie E-commerce but there is so much to know it’s overwhelming tbh and still not clear if it’s worth efforts.

Does anyone have any suggestions or am I living in a fantasy thinking being a sahm is even possible?

Hyperemesis gravidarum and working.

I am currently off work with a sick note due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum. I think I’ve had around three weeks off now, and I had to send another sick note for two weeks this morning. I’ve already informed my employer that I am pregnant because of the severity of the sickness and my inability to come into work, as I wanted to protect myself since I only started my job in April.

I’m someone who can’t be sick in a toilet — even at home I have to use a bowl — so coming into work makes things quite difficult when I’m being sick so frequently. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same, and whether my job is actually protected due to pregnancy even though I only started in April of this year. For reference, I work an office job in a law firm.
