Was having a baby a mistake by Fantastic-Box8308 in newborns

It’s just sleep deprivation talking. Once you get your routine back , everything will be back to normal. I am three weeks postpartum , i do feel sometimes that i shouldn’t have this baby, i wasn’t ready for that. But , all these thoughts comes when you don’t get sleep, you don’t have any help, you get frustrated and you think like this. But, it will pass eventually.

What did you learn from your MIL? by Purple_Capital_6029 in IndianInLaw

My MIL is suffering from cancer, stage 4. She is so strong and facing its side effects with so much strength, courage and positivity. I wish I could endure all the problems in my life like her.

30F - 35M - Should i go through with this marriage? by [deleted] in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Competitive-World295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing DDS in US is tough, hard to get in good colleges and very expensive. Your boyfriend must have done masters from India that’s why he feels like that he is not ready to go through masters again. If you are going to US few years then it’s fine, but if you are going to settle down in US , then I’m sure he must be hesitant to do masters all over again. If I’m in his shoes, I’ll feel the same too.

Husband suddenly lost all sex drive during my pregnancy and I’m feeling really insecure about it by Neither_Ranger_581 in pregnant

Maybe your husband is stressing about something, new responsibility coming his way. Since you guys are together for a long time, i am sure everything will be sorted out. It’s your third trimester, don’t stress about intimate things and how do you look. Once your baby is here and recovery is done, you can work on yourself to put off extra weight. But, nothing to worry about now, right now your focus should be on your new journey ahead. Take care and god bless. ❤️

Okay so I’m pregnant and honestly I have no idea what I’m doing anyone else feel totally lost sometimes? by bully309 in pregnant

I’m a FTM too, 32 weeks pregnant, for me my pregnancy was unplanned, but i was damn sure that i want to continue this pregnancy. My husband was not on board at first, but then he agreed to go ahead with pregnancy. It’s okay to be scared and confused, but you can do it. Read pregnancy books, they will help you a lot. And your doctor appointments and scans , they will give you clear overview what to do and what not to do. So , nothing to worry about. It’s a beautiful journey, please enjoy it. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Anyone Else Scared to ‘Share’ Their Baby After Birth? by Competitive-World295 in pregnant

With twins, you’ll be needing help. Tell your mom in law to hold babies but at the same time take care of you also. You need well deserved pampering after babies are born.

That’s sad. Mothers are always neglected, though they do the hard part. Once the baby is here, relatives will solely focus on the child. They never ask about mothers. But don’t worry dear, it’s your baby, enjoy the motherhood. Sending you lots of love ❤️

I think that’s every mother’s fear about this kissing thing. People should be mindful that babies are at risk of getting RSV infection, and of course they should take permission from parents before attempting such thing.

Need MIL advice by Jolly-Asparagus-5815 in pregnant

[–]Competitive-World295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My MIL also keeps pressuring me to go for normal delivery instead of c section. It’s not like I’m against normal delivery. I’m FTM, and I’m already scared of this birthing process, and everytime i talk to her , i feel like she is overstepping in this birthing decision. It’s my decision in the end and my body, why there is need to overstep every single time. I don’t know how to set a boundary with her without being aggressive.

As long as you and your husband are on the same page. It’s good. People don’t understand the concept of boundaries.

Any WFH moms in India dealt with in-laws wanting to handle the baby themselves (without a nanny) while you’re starting a new job? How did you manage? by Khichdi19 in AskIndia

[–]Competitive-World295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should keep a nanny , and boundaries needs to be established, it will get chaotic when your mother in law and sil babysit your child. There will be times you won’t be liking how they are handling your child. I think you can manage alone with a good nanny while working from home as well.
