Confessions anyone?

I don't see anything wrong with posting about sore nipples, baby poop, etc.

As Moms, these types of things are part of our daily lives and I think they're totally relevant topics for discussion.

Totally agree.

Sometimes at 5am when LO wakes I just put a paci in his mouth and put him in bed with us. I think he's hungry but I need that extra hr of sleep.

This is usually after he's just eaten at 4 am and I went back to bed at 4:45 before LO starts crying at 5. I always feel terrible but am usually so tired I'm afraid ill fall asleep and drop him when he's eating.

Also, when he comes in bed with us we push the sheets away so he won't suffocate... I don't sleep deep but I usually get some sleep.

Totally agree.

I also agree. Isn't that what the site is for? I mean I understand posting stuff unrelated as well but I don't see why people get bent about it.

Totally agree. The purpose of this board has shifted from all the pregnancy to all things baby.

It really creeps me out that every time we see my ILs, my MIL will make a comment along the lines of "you make really good milk for LO." If baby starts crying, MIL will announce that it's because "she wants some of her mom's good milk." I just think those comments are bizarre.

Lol. That is weird.

DH and I are friends with a couple and the wife has very strong opinions about everything and voices them constantly. Including about pregnancy and babies, despite having no personal or professional experience.

Even though it might be bad karma, I totally hope that her first kid shatters all of her preconceived notions and is a total pain in her a.

I'm having symptoms of PPD, but cannot talk about it with anybody I know (friends, family, etc) because it took me 2 years to get pregnant and I'm afraid they'll see me as ungrateful.

That's awful! Anyone who would peg you as ungrateful is totally ignorant IMO. PPD is not a joke. I urge you to confide in your doctor, there is help available. Don't suffer in silence!

Agreed! Please don't feel that way, and please get yourself help. There is no shame in that. Remember its hormonal and not something you can control. Please take care of yourself.

Aww, that is a bit odd but I think she's just trying to praise you for breastfeeding and make you feel good about what you're doing for your baby. My mom says things like this. Not as weird cuz it's my mom but I know it's cuz she's proud. And DH says stuff like this. But he's just a dork. Haha

I also have no problem with the poop and nipple posts. And feel we have had way less ridiculous posts. I know I feel much less annoyed with the board than during the "is this labor," and "I'm 35 weeks and want baby to come" days.

I was having a down day when someone close to me said, "Be happy! This is what you've wanted for so long!' So instantly, I felt incredibly guilty. I'm afraid others will share this simplistic perception, so I don't say anything at all.

Thank you, I definitely plan on talking to my doctor and going from there.

Thank you ladies.

good for you! Remember, talking to your doctor and gettin help is doing something for your LO! Sending you hugs. Things will get better when you have the support you need and someone to talk to!

But it gets really repetitive.

My feeling is this:
The Bump in general is repetitive. The same pregnancy issues are rehashed again and again as new people join and are experiencing things for the first time.

How slow would the boards be if only topics and questions that have never ever been addressed before are posted?

I've had some really hard days when C screamed for hours on end and my husband made similar comments when I broke down in tears. PPD is not avoidable and has nothing to do with being ungrateful. Good luck!

Yeah, but a lot of them can be answered by simply scrolling down. It was annoying when we were pregnant too. It's different when a poster is asking about experiences, it's simple stuff that can be googled that I don't even bother opening.

Yeah...I think it's the repetition of the simple stuff that can get annoying. I'm not saying everyone should go back 10 pages before asking a question, but I think scanning through the subjects of the first 1-2 pages will prevent many people from asking the exact same question a gazillion times.

DD just started taking naps in her crib so I carry around the video monitor to keep an eye on her. I still catch myself trying to be quiet around the monitor like she can somehow hear me through the monitor because I can hear her. It reminds me of when I was in high school and volunteered for our holiday parade by dressing up in a character costume. For the first several hours I would smile when people took pictures with me even though I knew they couldn't see my face.

What's the FFFC in this?

I'm glad that you are planning to get help from the doctor! I understand not wanting to talk to friends and family about it - not everyone feels comfortable doing that - but I think it's important to talk to a professional! Good luck!

I think it's about some comments in another thread about how boring the board is, and maybe people would post more if it wasn't all about people's sore nipples and analyzing baby poop.

For me, my sore nipples totally take over my life, so I'm all about the posts where I can commiserate with others. In fact, sore doesn't even begin to describe it...

BTW, M looks so big in your new siggy pic!

I think I've worn a bra maybe 5 times since LO was born 9 weeks ago...and I average about 3 or 4 showers a week. I am completely OK with this

I'd say being a mom is and will continue to be pretty repetitive. We may as well get used to it and help those going through the SSDD.

Owie!!! I cringe in pain just thinking about my shirt rubbing on the nips! I'm completely cool with the 3-4 showers/week, though. It used to be twice a week when LJ was first born, so 3-4 times is progressive movement toward normality for me.

What a creeper! That would freak me out too!! To the point where I'd probably double check my pumped supply after she left.
