Mental Health

  • Easier

    6 weeks old It gets easier. Lol kk shut the fuck up. No but seriously. The late night wake ups, the crying in your ear, the exhaustion, etc. it gets easier. Well I’d if it’s easier to handle or it’s the new normal but it does settle with you better. Everyone getting into a routine… Read more

  • Exhausted

    5 weeks old Ya you heard me. I’m exhausted, exhausted of pumping and everything breast feeding. Don’t get me wrong, the bond of having the baby latch to ya tit is unbeatable, there is something about that. But what I am exhausted about is the rock hard tits if I don’t pump in time, the… Read more

  • Pause, stop, reset

    4 weeks old Let’s be serious, panic attack, losing your patience, frustration, sadness, overstimulated one of it or all of it is bound to happen. Hopefully just not all at once. As a girly pop that has experienced all of them and more I do a few things to reset. Honestly, it’s nbd to feel… Read more

  • Self Conscious

    4 weeks old Being around other moms can be hard. Especially to an anxious girly pop. It makes me uncomfortable because I’m constantly wondering if they are judging me if I’m doing it right or wrong or if they are holding back unsolicited advice or if they do give advice. Then it even gets hard… Read more

  • Mental Load / Anxiety

    4 weeks old “I need to pump in two hours” / “if I nap now I won’t have to nap later but my nap will run into when I need to pump” / “she’s slept for 5+ hours now should I wake her?” / “what if my supply drops?” / “if I don’t start sleep… Read more

  • Cabin Fever

    15 Days Old Leave the house. Leave the house with or without the baby. You won’t realize just how refreshing it is to leave the house until you do. Although you could get something delivered maybe just get your partner to watch the baby while you go out. Yes, the first time for me I… Read more

  • OWIE

    14 days old God damn. Just when pumping was on the up and up and I was feeling more confident about it all, I get a clogged duct. I learned the difference between clogged duct and engorged so that’s great – learning something new everyday. I put a cold compress on it after pumping and… Read more

  • My Body

    13 Days Old Never have I had a good relationship with my body. Always wishing something was different than what it was. The size, the texture, and appearance (eczema). So as one can imagine pregnancy was hard for me. Being the awkward size where I don’t think I looked pregnant, I just looked ‘large’. Then… Read more

  • You’re not Special

    9 Days Old That’s it. You’re not special. Sorry to tell ya. You might think oh my god, I’m the only one going through this, I’m terrible, I’m a failure. Nah, you’re not. Im in a Mom group and a few friends with babies and let me tell you, the struggles that I thought was… Read more

  • Being Realistic vs Optimistic

    8 days old It’s important to remember that even if there are really good days there will still be bad days. It’s not a reflection of you or your partner. It’s easy to put the blame on yourself when it comes to anything, but don’t sabotage yourself like that. Eve had been sleeping like a… Read more

  • Being in the Right Mindset

    5 days old Strangely enough the one thing that I was never concerned about was labor. The one thing that pregnant and not pregnant people are scared and worried about. Trust me, it’s not because I’m not anxious, it’s not because I didn’t know how painful it was going to be. I knew all the… Read more

  • Ready for the Waterworks?

    Baby blues, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, the list goes on, we have heard of them but until you experience it you don’t really know what it means. Well, I found out this week what it means. You name it? I cried about it, or I’ve been anxious about it. Pregnancy hormones honestly had nothing on… Read more
