Have any of you felt happy and normal postpartum? Especially the second time around
Just wondering if it’s possible to not feel like yourself after having a baby. Like does it have to be weird everytime? Like you’re crawling back to feeling normalcy?

I feel way better this time around but I had twins during the pandemic and they had a lot of issues from the start. I was so exhausted.
I felt fantastic the second time but struggled the first. It made me go "wow this is what people mean" because I though somwthing was wrong with me
My postpartum issues like ppa & ppr didn’t onset til 3 and 7 months pp respectively.
With my first the First 3 months postpartum were quite enjoyable tbh
Not a clue how this second time around will go

Car seats
What the fuck is that.
Looks like no seat belt, just some bar thing, and a kid that’s small enough to be rear facing in a forward only car seat?? Someone tell me there’s more to this and it’s not as crazy as it looks

Plane seat purchase
Why are we having to pay extra for seats?! I really can't afford to add any more on to the expense. So I'm going to check in, and hope we are next to each other. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children.
How likely is it that we will be split - and staff care enough to give seats together? Please let me know if this has happened to anyone. I really can't be adding £300 more just for tickets.

Breastfeeding or screaming - no in between
When it comes to our late afternoon and evening feeds, we seem to hit the same problem; he just won’t unlatch! Baby boy is 5 weeks and will just chew on my nipple, I assume to soothe, and if I ever try to take him off he screams. He’ll even be falling asleep and still hates it, and then won’t sleep at all!
Any one experienced something similar and know how to work around this? I’m sore and need a small bit of my evenings back!

Sleep training tips
Can anyone share how you sleep trained your babies without letting them cry it out? My LO is currently almost 5 months but absolutely refuses to fall asleep on his crib on his own.

Period has come back!
To my surprise my period came back today!😭 Little bit concerned as I’m only 8 weeks post c-section and my baby is breastfed other than 2 feeds at 8pm and 12pm. Has anyone else got their period back yet? I was expecting another good few months!

Snoring
How do I stop a man snoring so I can actually sleep for once please. If he goes to sleep first I am fucked essentially. I’m so fed up I’m exhausted. He’s so loud it’s concerning but the doctor just keeps saying take antihistamines 😭😭😭 yeah we’ve tried them dumb nose strips and all that stuff. Im also pregnant so the exhaustion is just hitting extra hard, I can’t cope with my toddler on one hour of sleep again after he’s left for work😭
