So now, being called a FTM, while absolutely factual, is also anxiety-inducing. I know I’ve never had a baby before. But I’ve also felt unheard, had my worries reduced to ‘just’ anxiety, and had to argue that my needs were valid

Ugh, I’m so done being told that I am doing everything wrong. That I’ve already messed up my kid! These influencers are just praying on parents who are already stressed and giving them a problem to need to solve in order to keep growing!—I’ve thought it too. My anger of choice was directed towards “sleep coaches.” But maybe it was me? Is it always me?
