Is it normal to want your baby all to yourself when they are born?

Im currently pregnant in my third trimester.. I have mostly felt alone/ not interested in most ppl energy. Is it normal to feel like when I give birth I just want to enjoy her and not have ppl all over her.

totally normal!

Absolutely!!!

I wish I didn’t have any visitors in the hospital and kept my lo all to myself for as long as possible. It all goes by so quick!

YES! Mine was very protected during pregnancy and after birth. My whole time in the hospital I just wanted to stare at her and 9 months later I would let her sleep in my arms all night if I could. I look forward to enjoying the cuddles all day and the ones to come!

Absolutely, and those are your instincts kicking in! You and your little one will need time to adjust, so the less people around the less overwhelming was for me. Specially because, they want to see the baby, and sometimes they do not understand what a mother is going through.

Normal babies are so delicate and easily sick when they are born and that’s something you spent so much time creating and went through so much for I think it would be crazy if you didn’t want that time with her

I was like this with my first! I didn’t even want my husband around I found him quite annoying actually 🤣 luckily he had to leave and I got 2 weeks to enjoy me and my baby. It was quite odd because before birth I couldn’t wait for us to be a family

Yes 🙌 put ur wants first everyone else can suck it up

ketamine?

Has anybody here tried low dosage ketamine treatments for anxiety or depression? I’m always seeing advertisements from brands like “Joyous” and I’m curious to see if anybody has first hand experiences. I’m definitely interested considering I’m still struggling with PPD and major anxiety nowadays.

SAHM - what surprises you most about being a sahm?

Is it what you expected? What are your challenges? I will go first. My biggest challenge is personal development. I was in the middle of deciding what or how i was gonna make money. Now having a baby…. being tired, brain fog, home cleaning, and just balance makes it really hard to explore and figure it out.
Also i now realize how much moms really go through. I was the childless friend! Now i see the behind the scenes emotions, need for love support and understanding, and trying to make it in life! I celebrate and support all pregnant women and parents … especially of small children!

Looking for a texting buddy/IG friends

Even friends in real life haha ! I want to make more connections. 🤍 I lean more liberal, nothing against conservatives but I would have more in common with people who think like me, if that’s you, hit me up! 🤍

Besties

Looking for friends! I don’t really have many friends or really anyone I talk to and would love to find a bestie! I’m a stay at home mom full time to my 6 year old and 2 month old boy mom in Oklahoma!

Looking for long distance friends 🫶🏻

I’m not having much luck with swiping since not many moms local to me are on here! I’d love to just talk and become friends with moms from anywhere :)

A little about me is I have a 3 year old boy and a 1 month old girl. I love my animals (2 dogs and 1 cat) I’m married and a stay at home mom. I’m 420 friendly 🍃 I am a cosmetologist although I’m not currently doing that! My biggest passion is true crime and criminal justice. I love horror as well, and really anything considered “morbid”. Tattoos and piercings as well 🫶🏻 let’s be friends!!!!
