Topic | Another emotional breakdown at work, yay |

At the end of the day, fed is best, regardless of breastfeeding or formula. The fact that I couldnt do it added to my emotional postpartum breakdown. I felt like such a failure. I am infertile and had to do 3 IVF transfers to get pregnant. I only managed to get pregnant one time in 4 years on my own and it ended as a chemical. Then I failed to ever dilate to give birth and had to be induced and cut open. Then I couldnt make milk. My baby was a science baby through and through and I felt like my body just hated me. I kept trying and she kept crying each time. At the end of the day, I had to wonder who I was really trying to breastfeed for. Her or myself. Because she was quite happy to be formula fed. People put so much weight into breastfeeding is best etc but the advantages are minimal and not worth your mental health imo. Im so sorry you went through that. Its horrible. Im worried my body wont work too. Not once in my life have I tried to think of myself as a woman, and now I need to be and its got me worried that I wont make milk, wont dilate, etc. We tried IVF a bunch of times and I never got pregnant; I felt like some kind of failure especially since I had my best friend do something so personal. And even then it took a bunch of attempts - I had to keep an ovulation calendar so that we wouldn't just be doing it all the time. Not having periods has been nice though. --- Lenovo Legion 7 - Ryzen 5900HX, RTX 3080 16 GB (165W), 32 GB DDR4-3200 By Grabthar's hammer............... What a laptop. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
