More babies at 39

Am I crazy? 😂 I’m 39, have three kids, and my youngest is only 8 months old, yet I’m already thinking about having a fourth!

I’ve always wanted a big family, but my pregnancies have been awful. I had gestational diabetes, was constantly sick during my last pregnancy, and ended up having an emergency C-section because I couldn’t breathe and my baby stopped moving.

My eldest has autism and needs a lot of my time and attention, which I want to give her. I also have absolutely no support from anyone, so realistically, another baby would be a lot.

But why do I still want another one? Is it just human nature to keep wanting more babies, even after everything we’ve been through? Please tell me I’m crazy for even considering another pregnancy! 😂

How the fuck do I get my spark back?

I’m 2 months postpartum and lately I’ve just been feeling like absolute crap. My boyfriend really decided to try talking to a coworker and I found out by going through his phone lmfaooo 😭 this bitch really thought something was gonna happen when the girl wasn’t even entertaining him like that. But honestly we’ve been fighting so much lately that I keep asking myself what truly makes me happy anymore. I genuinely gave myself a whole year to figure shit out and try to make this work. I let myself get controlled in ways I never would’ve allowed before because I was pregnant and wanted my family to work. But mannn I used to be a whole boss bitch. I knew my worth, I stood on business and I did not give a fuck about losing anybody who didn’t bring me peace. Then I met this dumb fuck and somehow along the way I started losing pieces of myself trying to make something work that’s been draining me more than it’s been making me happy. And now I’m sitting here 2 months postpartum wondering when the hell I stopped putting myself first because one thing about me is I know who the fuck I am and I know I deserve better than this 😭💀

Blood in 8 month diaper

Hi moms ❤️ My 8-month-old baby has had blood mixed with mucus in his poop for the past 5 days. I’ve taken him to his pediatrician, but I still don’t have many answers. He isn’t in pain and is behaving normally, but I’m so worried and feel helpless. Has anyone experienced this with their baby? What was the cause? 😔

I really hope I'm not the only one 🙏🏻

My baby was due today born via c-sec on 21st October and she oesn't want to sleep throughout the night? I'm breastfeeding and all we are doing is cluster feeds and check nappy every couple of hours she just doesn't want to settle and sleep till the morning! She's 11 days old!

Sleep query!

My 4 week old has slept through last three nights without a feed - I'm talking 11 till 6! Whilst unbelievable...is that ok? He is feeding 8 times at least in day and plenty of wet and dirty nappies. He's above birth weight etc. obviously sleep is great but is it normal? Also aware it will probably not last and that is also ok!

Deep sleeper

I’m personally a very deep sleeper 😂 can literally sleep through anything and I was really paranoid that I wouldn’t wake up for my baby or maternal instincts wouldn’t kick in for me to wake up. Everyone told me it would be different when I have my own child and that I’d wake up but low and behold, I only wake up when she full on starts crying 😂😅
Anyone else?

2nd baby.

I feel like he’s bluffing. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and I honestly wouldn’t not mind sexy time with my husband rn. Of course we’re waiting the full 6 weeks, but he made it a purpose to mention I had to wait till I’m fully heralded cos she will be putting a second baby in me ASAP.

I honestly think he’s bluffing because he already has a 15 yo son and didn’t necessarily want another baby but knew I wanted one and so complied and gave me a baby.

Idk how I feel tbh. My first pregnancy was easy breezy so I don’t think I’d mind another. And if we do have more I’d prefer them back to back. But those labor contractions!! OMG. Not ready for that again lol
