Praying to God a lot worked for me and then allowing myself to feel however I feel instead of pretending that I’m ok when I’m not. Hang in there!

Therapy, time, prayer....being really gentle with myself. If you are a prayerful person, the Abide app has sleep stories that have worked wonderfully for me in the evenings when I am trying to sleep but my mind is all over the place. If not, the Calm app is excellent. Create a mental health routine and stick with it. Do not disturb has been abused on my phone but I have a set bedtime and a set time to wake up, work out, work, then bed time. This has helped me to not get bogged down with thoughts of my losses. I highly recommend a mental health routine.

EMDR has been a crucial piece of the puzzle after a traumatic birth for me. It’s exhausting and I sort of hate it, but the emotional weight of the whole thing has just decreased dramatically. I can still look at what happened and go “wow, that was so f’ed up!” but it doesn’t derail my hour, let alone my day or week, anymore.

Therapy and time

Wanted to get an idea. My almost 10 month old baby never crawled not matter how much tummy time we did with her. She only wants to stand and is trying to walk (supported. She cannot pull herself up well and if she is on her back she doesn't know how to get herself up. She can roll over no issues. How can I help her? We do exercises to help her learn to pull herself up and roll her to the side to teach her how to move from back to sitting. I'm not sure how to help her. Ftm here. Anxiety!!!

Is anyone living on different floors with ~1 year old? Does it work, PROs, CONs? Our master bedroom is upstairs. There are two bedrooms downstairs so I always thought we’d use one of those rooms as our bedroom so we’re on the same floor with baby but it seems husband wants to stay upstairs. And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom? Our first kid is due this summer and I’ve been having conversations with my husband on plans for going back to work post-maternity leave. He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

Looking for support & validation.
I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.

Should we wait it out or consult a behavior therapist?
