PPD/Anxiety

PPD and anxiety is a liar!!! It tells us that we “can’t” when the truth is, we “can” because we are already doing it. Stay strong ladies and know that you got this!! You are a strong Mama! ☺️

Anyone else?

I’m hoping I’m not alone. We tried for this baby, we are excited and I have love for him. But for the last couple of days I can’t stop the thought of ‘what the f*ck am I doing’ Why did I decide to have another, why am I doing this, is this a good idea?? I’m really frightened.

Time for a new OB???

My OB just told me to get the MMR booster (my labs showed im no longer immune) and from what I’ve researched that is a big no-no for pregnant women. She also failed to give me a TDAP with my last pregnancy. Thinking it’s time to change obs, am I crazy for doing it?

How many times?

For those of you lucky ladies that have conceived already, how many times do you all do it in your fertile window. I'll probably get a peak tonight or tomorrow. Everything is fine with us fertile wise however I think we might not be doing it enough 😒
