  • about 5-6 yrs ago i stopped taking any motrin cuz it irritated my stomach and my dr suggested i could have the beginning of an ulcer. now after my c-section they gave me motrin 800's and i took them for about 2 wks. it irritated my stomach so bad and i think it brought back that ulcer issue. been sick to my stomach quite a few times and have had a lot of pain too. i am absolutely dreading going to the dr about this but the pain in my stomach & abdomen area is so bad it wakes me out of a dead sleep. this has been going on for 6 wks now and i'm so over this

  • Irrational FTM fears...

    Pumping and having DH give Cal a bottle. (Never mind letting anyone else feed him)

    Leaving him when I go back to work in Aug and ruining this amazing bond we have. We're just beginning to figure out child care and I'm freaking out on the inside.

    I feel like I need to get a grip. I nannied forever before becoming a teacher so I was always on the other side of both and know that it's okay, but I just can't shake it.

    Anyone else??
  • @Megczapla‌ I'm not a fan of pumping but have been easing into it so that it'll be easier when I go back to work. Baby will drink so fast when DH gives her a bottle and it scares me so much. My big fear is her getting sick for the first time.
  • @speechie517‌
    Ooh yes that one too! I was nursing him earlier hoping that all of my antibodies are enough to keep him healthy.

    I was NEVER a worrier. Being a mom has changed me completely!!!
  • If i can find the time today, I'm totally baking cookies and only writing one thank you note. Thanks guys. I was half wondering if I was just being a sleep deprived crank over what he wanted me to do.

    DH's work threw him a surprise baby shower. A few people gave individual gifts, so I wrote them individual thank you notes (I've never met them!). Then I made several dozen cookies for him to take for the office. He emailed everyone saying they were in the break room for everyone as a thank you.

    Chocolate/PB nobake oatmeal cookies are really quick and easy to make! I made those and some choc chip.

    My irrational FTM fear is being car jacked! I am afraid someone will sneak up on me while I am getting LO in the car. I don't think it would be so irrational if it were night, in a shady parking lot but I am talking about being creeped out in the middle of the day at places like Kroger. I'm such a dork.

    I don't think that's an irrational fear. My family argued with me to put the carseat on the passenger side. I said no way because with my car (suicide doors) I can unlock only the driver side by clicking the button just once, and be blocked better by the doors so no one can grab LO from the other side while I'm getting in. Shazam.

  • DH and I had sex for the first time post baby last night. I was just not into it. I don't have the desire AT ALL. Hormones? 

    I'd say hormones ( especially if you are BF ) and lack of good sleep.

    @Megczapla I have the same feeding anexity and I'm a 3rd timer. I get so anxious when people give him a bottle.

     My irrational fears are DH and I both dieing in our sleep andvthe kids being left alone until someone notices we aren't around. This fear is so bad at time that I can't sleep.

  • I wish LO would lose his belly button stump! I so want to give him a real bath!
  • @thomas930‌ well it's good to know I'm not alone! Sorry that you feel the same though ☺️

    My peds office just gave me some round about bs unhelpful answer when I called to ask what I could take for allergies while breast feeding. The chick told me Benadryl is fine but no antihistamines. Wait, isn't Benadryl an antihistamine??? She then told me about no cold meds with the "d". Okay lady. You're on my list. I am waiting for a call back from my ob's office now...

  • Don't watch the Lifetime movie, Return to Zero. While it was a really good movie, I cried and cried and cried some more.

    e23‌ @celticlullaby‌ I get the same type of mental images....I really hate it, but like you said, having other children keeps me distracted most of the time to get out of my own head. Goodness! I feel like a crazy person most of the time.

  • Rough night last night. DS has not been wanting to settle down in the last 24 hours. Yesterday he wouldn't sleep more than 20 min at a time. He's still being a weirdo so far today.

    We had DH shower with him yesterday to calm him down. He loved it, but getting him dressed after got him all worked up again!

    All in all a restful weekend- hope you ladies are starting the week refreshed too!

  • Our builder stopped by today to take a look at some things on the house. He mentioned that his wife is pregnant again. This will be 3u3 for them. She's Breastfeeding their 6 month old as their form of bc. Clearly that worked well.

    I'm taking that as a sign from god that I need to make sure to figure out bc with my dr this week. And but condoms....

  • I get bizarre, disturbing irrational fears - that suddenly dying and worrying how fast someone would find the kids thing too, @thomas930‌, all the time. I have to leave a car door open when I return carts in a parking lot, so if I'm hit by car and killed/lose consciousness, someone will notice the kids in their car seats quickly. I'm perfectly aware that's insane with cars going 15 mph in a parking lot.

    I get really disturbing flashes in physical injuries that could happen to the kiddies in the most improbable or possible ways. I try to use thought stopping and push the images out of my head, so I'm not going to describe them. It was awful just after I had DS1. I had to fight myself to take him out even for walks - I wish someone had asked me about anxiety instead of depression then, in retrospect I probably could have used some help. This time around I get the images still, but so far it's not as intense and it's not like I have to fight myself to do things. I sort of think having a toddler helps pull me out of my head and stops me from dwelling on my fears.

    That is me exactly! I'm not happy you experience this too, but I'm SO glad to hear someone else is like this. After DD was born I couldn't answer the front door without thinking someone was going to shoot a gun through the door killing us both. I also frequently picture dropping my babies etc. It's a horrible feeling. And then I feel guilty and like a horrible person for imagining that stuff which just gives me more anxiety.

    @celticlullaby‌ I have this fear about having a blood clot or something while baby is on the changing table just because its not a safe place to leave a baby like a crib or swing

    I've had my changing pad on the floor since day 1 for similar fears.... Also, then I can walk away to grab something without worrying about her falling off a table.

    My DH has been handsy for the past 3 weeks...he also has been counting down until this Wednesday since it's my 6 week appointment. I can't blame him...this pregnancy was rough in the sex department. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to our sex life. I really missed that connection with him

  • I might be the only one but I wish my DH was grabby! I'm 7 weeks PP, cleared for sex and so ready. He's been distant the past week and I'm hoping things are ok. DH is bipolar and it's been a long time since he had an episode and I'm worried he has a little post partum depression which I just learned men can have. I'm being supportive and letting him have his space but mama wants some love!
