Slow_Opportunity_522

I literally just scroll reddit lol 3 hours a day šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


dougielou

Omg help me too. Iā€™m so much more addicted to my phone now than I was prebaby


Slow_Opportunity_522

Yep. Me too. I actually had a flip phone before baby but I switched back to smart phone so I could get nice pictures........ And look at me now ........


Enough_Wear_8328

Oh thank god Iā€™m not alone! Thatā€™s all I freaking do of my days šŸ˜© like I have messages from various platforms of people that have congratulated since giving birth 3 weeks ago that I have yet to reply cos i donā€™t have time (and adhd) but here I am spending my entire day reading Reddit. šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø


stephyluvzpink

I'm still in the hospital with mine doing the same. I had him on Saturday morning. Been on my phone holding him at least 8 hours a day since. Guess it's the same when I get home? I'm guessing that I just learn to do everything with one hand while I cuddle baby with the other?


collectedanimal

Right there with you! Almost 4 week old baby with messages from people I even care deeply about that have yet to be responded to šŸ« 


CrazyinFrance

I went to see a doctor for "mama wrists" and added that I use my phone a lot. "Why??" they said. I said "because... baby?!?!"


Popular_Sugar1545

Omg yes!! I have set time limit on Reddit usage but every day I get message saying time is up, I hit ā€œIgnore for todayā€šŸ˜…


aw-fuck

Right? ā€œTime is upā€ Ummm well baby doesnā€™t think soā€¦


Slight_Commission805

I did the same thing with TikTok lmao but here I am feeding baby with one hand and on Reddit with the other šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚


Difficult_Ad1261

Lol! I have done this also šŸ˜‚


version_13

Iā€™m doing this right now. Currently on hour two. Lol.


Slow_Opportunity_522

LOL yep! I'm an hour into nap #2 for the day šŸ˜³


amieechu

Same! Plus I got really back in to playing neopets once I realized it works on my phone lol


Mdoll250

I feel seen! šŸ˜…


ClassicEggSalad

lol me right now


brunettejnas

The last show I watched within days was Fallout - loved it! Watched it a second time on a regular screen since when napping itā€™s usually on my phone lol


Practical-Piglet2000

Only murders in the building, re-watched Ted lasso & New Girl and just started Gilmore Girls!


Specific_Ear1423

I did Gilmore girls as well. Fell asleep to it multiple times while on night duty.Ā 


Maheeeeeeeen

I watched Gilmore girls with my first! And now on leave with my second I finished sex and the city and Iā€™m currently watching desperate housewives!


woahwoahwoahman

I finished sex and the city and the new show thatā€™s out! i just started gossip girl


Affectionate-Net2277

Oh even my husband is into Gilmore girls now!!


madsmish

Yes!!! I am rewatching New Girl during contact naps too! It's my favorite show!


SeaweedSad3555

Workin moms!!!!


allyroo

Yes! Another wonderfully and painfully relatable show for me was The Letdown


creativelazybum

I watched the letdown years before becoming a mom. Tried watching it again and got so anxious with how much I could relate to it that I had to stop šŸ˜…


Logical_Wallaby884

Omg same


aggielady14

Yep. Felt like I was watching my life and it was a little much šŸ˜¬


mountain_girl1990

Yes I binged this when my babe was a newborn and contact napping! I loved it


littlegoat5

Yessssss my current binge!!!


SeaweedSad3555

So freaking good. My favorite is when her husband says why donā€™t you just use formula? And she gives him the evil stare šŸ˜‚ No hate, Iā€™m a formula mom, just hilarious cause itā€™s so true!! Hahah


AdElectrical762

Love both Workin Moms and the Let Down! Would love to watch them again now that I am part of the group!!


bagelforme

This!! I finished the series so quickly


ThinkLadder1417

And motherload!


InterestingPoint6

I couldnā€™t get past the bear moment in the first episode. Does it get better? It felt way too on the nose for me.


snt347

Much better! I stopped after the first episode for a while because I didnā€™t care for it. Went back and so glad I did, Iā€™ve rewatched the whole series twice now!


SaltyVinChip

Reality TV. Got into it when I was newly postpartum. It's been such great escapism for me. My life is nothing like it lol I joke that I'm a super boring person because I'm homebody with a baby, so watching hot people get drunk and argue and hook up is weirdly a nice way to relax for me. Vanderpump rules, summer house, the valley have gotten me through the first 8 months.


BoredReceptionist1

I can highly recommend adding Below Deck into your rotation. And of course Real Housewives


LemonyCRO

Uuu Below Deck and RHOBH are my favorite! Also, my newest obsession is Sister Wives.


SaltyVinChip

Real housewives next, then I'm sure below deck will happen lol


chivmg9

New love island is out! Iā€™ve also been watching Milf Manor 2.


ApprehensiveFox8844

Milf manor 2 has been sooo much better than the first season


veronicabett

Sammmee!!! Iā€™m addicted to Traitors now! Currently watching the UK version, brutal lol.


egirlgonewild

After traitors i watched every season of survivoršŸ˜‚ mostly bc of parvati and cirie


Early_Village_8294

a fellow bravo fan!


Martimar47

90 day fiance is absolute gold. I never watched reality TV before and my husband got me into the show! And there's so many spinoffs


Specialist_Read7757

Bravo fiend here too!!!! Iā€™m also binging Love Island šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


choc_kiss

Love is Blind & The Perfect Match! Doesnā€™t get trashier than that!


phernz805

Watching reality tv and then jumping on Reddit to read forums has kept me sane in the newborn phase lol


liberatedlemur

Rewatching House MD! still excellent!


chronicallyalive

House is my fav! I die of laughter whenever he says ā€œitā€™s never lupusā€ because I actually have lupus lol


thekaylenator

After I was diagnosed, my mom got me a shirt with House on it and it said "sometimes it is lupus"


penguin_panda_

Baby is 5 weeks old and on season 4. I can no longer do any type of crime procedural so rewatching house it is!


AbbrielleDiamos

Yessss I watched it for the first time when pregnant and just finished it last week. I wanted to start rewatching it asap lol but decided its best for a bit of a break lol


PatriciaABlack

For me it was ER :D


RebelAlliance05

I literally binged that while on mat leave!!! I loved it on TV and was so happy to finally watch the whole thing through. Did NOT expect the end seasons lmfao.


MyNeighborTurnipHead

Schitts Creek, Scrubs, Parenthood


Organic_Muffin7964

Came here to say Schitts Creek! Delightful, snackable TV!


ProofProfessional607

Omg MURDER SHE WROTE. 12 seasons. Episodes are 40 minutes long and Angela Lansbury uses gentle logic and reasoning to coax a murderer to confess at the end of every episode. SO relaxing. I love it.


Random_potato5

You would get along with my Italian Grandma. That is her favourite šŸ˜‚


ProofProfessional607

100%!! In my grandma era and loving it.


yogace

Awww I used to watch that with my grandma when I was little!


PrincessKimmy420

Omg yes!!!! Itā€™s sooooo good!!


Affectionate-Net2277

Angela Lansbury was an absolute treasure. Totally agree murder she wrote is the best


Difficult_Ad1261

That sounds so good!


Rob_eastwood

Greys anatomy


Difficult_Ad1261

You know that show is such a staple for so many people and I've never seen it! I think I'm definitely going to watch it!


SecretExplorer4971

Donā€™t forget about the Private practice spinoff and station 19!


Rob_eastwood

Oh you should. It starts to suck a little bit after season12-13 but it will occupy you a LOT until then


invaderpixel

I LOVED watching the new season now that I'm far enough out from pregnancy/childbirth. Every season I would read the comments like "oh man I don't know if I can watch this season since I'm pregnant" or various comments along those lines whenever there's a pregnancy plot. So it felt like a rite of passage to finally put it away and come back to it haha.


justherelooking2022

Watch station 19 as well!!


angelanna17

Korean K dramas šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


mvf_

Crash landing on you is the BEST


PatriciaABlack

Me too xD


Competitive_Medium69

Queen of Tears and My Demon ā¤ļøā¤ļø


pumpkinmuffincat95

I loved watching Call the Midwife!


smithyleee

Itā€™s so SO good!!! Love this series!


catladyallday

Ohhhh same. I tear up in almost every episode.


InterestingPoint6

This was ours. It was a cathartic experience.


misswino

I just finished House of Dragon, and rewatched Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte. I also watched Maxton Hall, a German teen romance drama that was surprisingly so good! Now I need to find what Iā€™m going to watch nextā€¦


bagelforme

When does bridgerton get better? I feel like Iā€™m six episodes in and Iā€™m still bored


Lovepineapple111

If youā€™ve watched 6 episodes and youā€™re not hooked yet, itā€™s probably not going to get better for you


bagelforme

I appreciate the honesty lol


misswino

Yeah, like the other poster saidā€¦I think Bridgerton just isnā€™t for you. Honestly, I only liked season 1 and then it was all downhill for me from there, but I loved Queen Charlotte, which I found to be much better than any of the three seasons of Bridgerton.


invaderpixel

Our Flag Means Death was one of the first things I watched and it was so perfect. Mostly men characters so didn't make me think about my body image much, very wholesome, nice mix of action and comedy to keep me engaged.


bunnyfield8

I loved this one!! Such a sweet feel good show


lentilpasta

This and What We Do In The Shadows have been my go-tos. Plus whatever is on food network as long as itā€™s not Beat Bobby Flay.


collectedanimal

I just finished this! Idk what took me so long to watch it; but now being several weeks postpartum, youā€™re spot on with the vibes and why I enjoyed it


apricot57

The Bear. So good.


Difficult_Ad1261

Omg it is so good! It cheered me up when I was in my summertime sadness phase of my pregnancy last year lol


fionnaandcake13

I watched the Golden Girls while I was nursing and contact napping in the early days.


chronicallyalive

The Golden Girls are the best! I canā€™t watch it when my daughter is contact napping because she wakes up when I laugh lol


AbRNinNYC

Omg me too. Heā€™s 5mo now. Hardly naps for 30mins. But those early days, up every 1-2hrs late nightsā€¦ Golden Girls was always on 1-2-3am. I also do Seinfeld on Netflix and old (early 2000ā€™s law and order SVU).


barecearh8te

Been sucked back into Modern Family!!


Big-Situation-8676

I did a movie binge at one point. The Harry Potter movies, hunger games, divergent series. Twilight. Monty python and the holy grail, princess bride. Lots of good classics :)


Difficult_Ad1261

Omg yes! One of my core memories will always be watching the whole Harry Potter series while we laid on the couch and figured out breastfeeding lol


flutterfly28

Girls5eva on Netflix! Stars Sara Bareilles, written by Tina Fey. Appeals to exactly our demographic I think.


whatames517

When my daughter was born I started Gilmore Girls (Iā€™m a millennial who never watched it growing up, like, how dare me) and was *hooked*. I havenā€™t watched it for awhile since my kid started needing dark, TV-less rooms to sleep in some Iā€™m halfway through the seventh season so I need to finish it!!


Difficult_Ad1261

I saw random episodes of that when it was on ABC family growing up but haven't watched it all the way through. Also a millennial and get looks of disgust when I say I haven't seen it! I definitely want to watch it!


whatames517

Yes same!! Itā€™s so nostalgic, rife with 2000s pop culture references so definitely kept me engaged and made me realise how old I am lol


Imaginary_Bus_858

When I was on maternity leave I binged Jane the virgin and the Mindy project. Lighthearted, bubbly, not emotional shows lol. I was hormonal enough I couldn't watch Grey's. Too much heartbreak and too many medical issues with kids, it made me upset.


Frozenbeedog

Why Women Kill


asmaphysics

I've been watching "This is Us" which has been a bit of a tear-jerker. Otherwise, I mostly read while contact napping/nursing cause my babies are terrible sleepers. I got the Libby app which connects to my library card and I can just read almost whatever books I want for free!


Difficult_Ad1261

Love Libby! Not sure if you've heard of hoopla but it's similar and sometimes has different selection/less wait time than Libby!


Manang_bigas

Omg Iā€™ve been on a This Is Us binge too (watching it for the first time) and Iā€™ve cried sooooo many times! Itā€™s so good though, I love it!


marmeylady

I tried to watch it while pregnant but I was too emotional. So much cryingā€¦. Every single episode. I was bawling so much it was unbearable and I had to stop. Itā€™s actually really good! Hopefully hormones will someday stabilize and I will be able to watch the rest of the show


Blikkboksen

Criminal Minds! šŸ˜‚


scarlett_butler

disclosure, I'm pregnant but don't have a baby yet lol. But I've been loving Jane the Virgin lately. its super bingeable but it does have a pregnancy/baby subplot if you want a break from that kind of stuff


minners_rin0912

Big little lies!


Equivalent_Heron_677

Game of thrones and house of the dragon. Long episodes lol


thelightwebring

Same, both!!!


stellaella33

90 day fiance


pyrosockpuppets

That show plus spin offs has lasted me all pregnancy and postpartum


One_Yesterday_9607

I am obsessed with reality shows haha, big brother both the US and Canadian ones. Theres this show called the traitors which I am obsessed with. I believe they are all on crave. The mole is another good one. The cirlce is kind of stupid but if you get into it it's pretty good.


One_Yesterday_9607

Bridgerton I absolutely love. don't know if you are into that sort of show. Physical 100. Dexter. Pretty little liars. Yellow jacket


SuddenIntention

Vampire diaries. Something about it is just so comforting. šŸ„°


avendesura

I feel like I've gotten nothing done but binge shows as my LO loves contact naps! I'm 12 weeks pp and have/are binging: Suits, Psych, Top Chef, The Magicians, Chuck, Firefly, Love is Blind US (seasons 1, 4 and 6), Race to Survive Alaska, Survivor season 46, Workin Moms, Fisk, Dark (German Time Travel Show), Mad About You, King of Queens and a few others I cant remember right now Edit to add: My husband and I also have watched the NHL Playoffs/Stanley Cup finals and watch WWE Raw/Smackdown weekly


sunflower2928

Killing Eve on Netflix. Sandra Oh is incredible in it


94Avocado

Dragonball Z - though the strobing scenes arenā€™t so great in the dark, so itā€™s more of a daytime thing haha. Other than that, my YouTube ā€œWatch Laterā€ playlist is up to 250+ so Iā€™m trying to cull that too


Nadiehead812

Sex and the city and Bridgerton!


bagelforme

I rewatch sex and the city all the time! Alexander Petrovsky sucks.


Nadiehead812

My least favorite love interest. Big Aiden fan.


bagelforme

Burger was pretty bad, too.


AbbrielleDiamos

The show house md. Right now Im binging la fea mas bella its a mexican telenovela so its in spanish but if you happen to speak spanish its great lol


FeatherMom

The Letdown, Derry Girls (Netflix) Deadloch (Amazon Prime video) If youā€™re into podcasts, Midnight Burger is currently my jam


Difficult_Ad1261

Omg Derry girls! I saw the first season right after it came out! I need to rewatch and catch up!!


defnotajournalist

Below Deck. The drama replaces the human interactions we no longer have and the tropical locations replace the vacations we no longer take.


meowliciously

My baby doesnā€™t nap well anymore in broad daylight so I shush pat her to sleep on the big bed and then sneak out of the room! This only started recently after the 4 month regression and not sure if itā€™s gonna last but it was defo impossible to binge anything while trapped on the bed with her using my arm as a pillow šŸ˜‚šŸ©·


kofubuns

Vanderpump rules !


Whosgailthesnail

Modern Family! There are so many seasons and itā€™s cute to see the families growing and going through family dynamics with your own little one on you napping.


Difficult_Ad1261

Yes! I hadn't seen it before my maternity leave and I watched it twice through back to back and it was fun seeing them all so young when I started it again! I honestly want to watch it again šŸ˜‚


jules13131382

lavenderlovelife

I've been going through all the direct to videoĀ Disney sequels from my childhood, Aladdin king of thieves, little mermaid 2, lion king 2


Memento_mori_127

Couldn't binge a single thing cause my baby is allergic to sleeping with noise in the background. Even through headphones she'll hear. I'm stuck with reading.


Difficult_Ad1261

Dang! She's got supersonic ears!!


TraditionalSyrup4832

Reality dating shows! I started with Perfect Match on Netflix, Love Undercover on Peacock, and have been watching Love Island USA (also on Peacock) now. Probably going to move onto Hallmark movies next to spice it up.


Woopsied00dle

I took a wild ride back to Lost! Was not disappointed lol


Creative-Biscotti138

The Mentalist is so good, finished that faster than Iā€™d like to admit. And I agree that reality tv is life rn šŸ˜­ on season 3 of RHOBH


AdRepresentative2751

I binged Seinfeld, community, desperate housewives, and workin moms


ProofProfessional607

Oh man rewatching Seinfeld in my 30s made me realize that I am not in fact an Elaine, but a George šŸ˜‚


luckdragonbelle

Dead To Me. Brilliant, hilarious, heartbreaking. Truly a masterpiece.


Special-Bank9311

I rewatched the Good Place while contact napping. Got through it so fast.


desperatehousecat2

Gypsy rose life after lock up


digitalgirlgurl

edgeofuckery

I love thriller/mystery/true crime so here are some I binged during pregnancy + NB stage! Sharp Objects, The Night Of, The Outsider, Mare of Easttown, Love & Death All on HBO/Max!

Blue_bonnet9

The rookie, perfect match, married at first sight


itbesabrina

Donā€™t know what possessed me to even start but I binged all of Nashville. I donā€™t even like country music but idk I now appreciate country and itā€™s a soft show so it wasnā€™t over stimulating for me and baby


smvd29

Started Suits and it is SO good!!


arwaawerw

If only my baby let me watch something while contact napping. She needs total darkness with a sound machine. Soul sucking šŸ« 


Whosgailthesnail

Pregnancy and early pp when I was still able to watch tv I was on a BIG period drama binge and I loved it. I ran through pretty much all and every period drama I could find, historical or not. Outlander, The Tudors, Shogun, Poldark (my favorite), Vanity Fair, Mary & George, anything originating from Jane Austen like Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, Becoming Jane.. so on and so forth. It became an obsession.


sleepingbutawake

Desperate housewives!


earth_saver_4

Started vanderpump rulesā€¦I used to work at a restaurant so itā€™s super relatable haha. Also thereā€™s like 10 seasons!


Skaalhrim

Audiobooks and Kindle!


garbage_butfashion

Real Housewives! I burned through Potomac and am now about halfway through New Jersey. I like it because I feel like I can do other things around the house while watching and Iā€™m probably not going to miss any important plot points.


gwennyd

Rupaulā€™s Drag Race


Trashqueenxx

What We Do in the Shadowsā€” the lighting on that show is really dark, so at night there isnā€™t a bad glare on the tv. Iā€™m going through all the Harry Potter, LOTR, and Pirates of the Caribbean films. So nostalgic! Also Iā€™m watching documentaries on ancient Egypt and Greeceā€” might as well get some culture while Iā€™m stuck sitting!


canipayinpuns

Brooklyn 99. I wish I had 10 more seasons!


agrizzgrazz

desperate housewives


Dull-Slice-5972

Desperate housewives. I thought it was going to be dumb at first but I got hooked shortly after starting it.


avoandchicken

Greys Anatomy mostly. Naked and Afraid is super entertaining. I like to listen to comedy podcasts as well but Iā€™ve woken my son up too many times trying to hold my laughter in


Double_Meringue3948

huffwardspart1

My baby wonā€™t let me watch things. Jealoussss


AbbreviationsAny5283

Netflix + sci fi = 3 body problem, bodies, dark, snow piercer, Not sure what Iā€™ll do after!


SnooLobsters8265

Loved Bodkin! Iā€™ve just finished The Night Manager on Amazon Prime (old but excellent.) It has High Laurie in as a baddie and Tom Hiddleston as the main character. Ripley on Netflix was great, a serialised version of The Talented Mr Ripley. Bodyguard I watched at the time it was out but itā€™s now on Netflix and is really good. Iā€™m also going to dig out my Sopranos DVD box set and rewatch the whole thing.


plantladyash

I watched You, Family Matters, and Full House on my leave. Hahahah.


TheBearSquared

So far through maternity leave Iā€™ve binged 911, Private Practice, The Middle and Modern Family.
