3AM overthinking on this

I am enjoying being a SAHM but I am terrified that one day my relationship doesn’t work out and I get divorced. The lack of savings and having to start at an entry level job with low pay. Not having a stable home and struggling to pay bills terrifies me.

My husband has me on all his credit cards so my credit is not an issue. Just the fear of not being able to make it by myself. Not to mention if we are married 10-15 years and I am a SAHM all that time then divorce.. I won’t be able to survive on 50% of his retirement amount.

Therefore I have decided to start working as soon as my baby turns 3. I am studying free certifications online like AI and Microsoft to be able to have a talking point regarding my gap in employment in my resume

And yes 3 is so young to be put in daycare but if I go back to work, my baby can be in a private montessori preschool with the best care and education

I was one of those who was like yes it gets better after my baby started sleeping better!! but now as I am going through the 4th month sleep regression I just think it is worse than newborn phase. I would wake up every 2-3 hours when my baby was 0-12 weeks old then I got an amazing 7 weeks of sleeping straight through the night then now come 4 months old (19 weeks) my baby is waking up 4-6 times a night!! And its the rock to sleep, put in crib, wakes up after 30 minutes (right when Im just starting to drift off to sleep) pick up, feed, rock to sleep, put in crib, wakes up after 15 mins and REPEAT! I am currently looking like a raccoon with my dark under eyes and sleep deprivation

AND baby fights naps even harder than before!! And I am just bracing for when she starts teething… then comes the crawling and wanting to eat everything off the floor!! It does get better temporarily I guess. Just venting

My baby went from sleeping 10 hours straight to waking up 4-5 times a night literally from one day to the next. She’s on her 6th day of doing this. Im to the point of only getting -3 hours of sleep and I am sooo exhausted

She does not know how to settle on her own as she is a contact nap baby so sleep training will also help her (and me) get away from contact naps I hope.

Also, what method worked best for you?

-My baby is almost 20 weeks (4.5 months)
-Wake windows of 2-2.5 hours
-I also feed her as much as possible during the day to avoid night wakings (worked before, not anymore)
-Her nap schedule and daily routine hasn’t changed

My baby went from finally sleeping through the night to waking up at 3am and 6am to feed the past 5 days. I would otherwise be okay with it as I was expecting the regression anyway but Im sick with a bad cold so Im already super tired and weak.

I was just wondering if its temporary and will my baby possibly start sleeping through the night again?

I am having a hard time getting my baby away from needing contact naps and white noise during naps. When we are out of the house, my baby can go 3+ hours of no sleep because she just can’t fall asleep with noise. I would like to help get her used to no contact naps and noise for sleeping.

Can anyone share their methods or suggestions?

Baby is almost almost 5 months, not sleep trained, wake windows of 1.5 hours

Just came here to say my baby used to sleep 3 hour stretches throughout the night but ever since I stopped swaddling, she’s sleeping 6-8 hour first stretch. But she moves and grunts like crazy while still sleeping. She still did this when she was swaddled but when does it stop??

Im grateful she’s sleeping through the night but her noises and movements won’t let me sleep. She moves aggressively and fake cries?? Like she will cry for like 2-5 seconds while sleeping which wakes me up all the time. When did your baby stop doing this? I really would like to sleep 6-8 hours with her

I live in a small town and not many Teslas around so I haven’t really had the chance to see one as much. I am 1.5 hours away from a big city that has many Tesla showrooms. Can I go and just look at a car to decide what color I want and model? I do not need to test drive nor even see the interior I just really want to look at the outside and different models/colors.

Can I go and see? Will they kick me out if I am looking around at the cars the have outside? Or do I talk to someone that works there and explain that I got approved and just want to look at the models to decide which I want

Edit: Leaning towards a Model 3.

Going to Houston Tesla showrooms. I got approved already just need to decide what I want

Thank you for those you weren’t mean about it. Like I said, I live in a small town and not many people to talk about Teslas with and when I called the Tesla place on the phone, they were dismissive and put me on hold then hung up

I ended up test driving a Model Y and Model 3 and decided to place an order for a Model Y. Thank you all for your help!

I have been on Opill for 2 months and I have been heavy spotting for a month and a half non stop including cramps on some days and lotttsss of bloating and constipation and acne.

My doctor is giving me the option to start Slynd but I dont know if the side effects would be the same. Right now my main problem is the spotting. Also Slynd has a higher grace window for a missed pill which sounds better.
