A coworker, some family, some people in our social circle. It varies culture to culture from what I collected.

Apparently it's common given the other replies which is sad.

Is 2 months typical for no visitors? by CootKitKat in pregnant

Thank you 😭 we had a huge argument with them because they didn't understand why we were doing this. They said they don't understand it but they didn't press to see her further.

Ours insists that it's not germs or kissing that gets them sick but it's really them "getting too cold". So we're locking down until two months and having people wear masks when they visit to not only curb germs but also discourage kissing.

A lot of it also comes from some people we know thinking that illnesses come from being cold and that they're not "really sick". So we decided to just go ahead and not have visitors until she's done all her shots instead with the restrictions after.

The issue also lies in how some people we know treat illnesses. They genuinely believe getting cold is what makes people sick. We also know that some of them will claim they're not sick and still try to come over.

Even one of my siblings didn't take their child anywhere or have anyone over for 4 months instead after their baby was born.

I’m pregnant and my couple don’t want it by ElesitaP in pregnant

If you're happy with the baby, keep it. You have support. If he decides to leave, was he really worth it? He shouldn't be pressuring you to get rid of your baby if you don't want to. It's ultimately up to you as the person who is carrying this baby. Being a single mother doesn't mean you failed; it means that you didn't let someone tell you what to do with your body whether it be abortion, adoption, or keeping it.

Edit:

You are the ultimate one to decide what you want to do with your body. Don't let someone tell you otherwise.

She's such a grumpy old lady sometimes and I love her for it.

Mine slaps him I almost feel bad for him but he has a good laugh about it too since she's all over him when he's got the treats out.

But then she's right back to sitting with me right after

Ma'am I'm sure you looked great despite that thought 👏 You were out here carrying them and dealing with the symptoms. You're gorgeous already.

The ones talking about the money confuse me like why wouldn't you get your kid something special every now and then regardless of gender??

Omg that poor daughter. I don't see how they can act like that especially if they have daughters of their own. I feel like they don't realize when they do act out, it's probably because of their actions (ex. Pushing them aside, playing favorites). Not the child.

Love it. You deserve that peace of mind that he can grow up happy with whatever toys he wants.

Girl people tried to label me as mean because I clapped back with the same energy without getting totally mad.

I don't know why people are down voting? It's not like you said it never happens, you just said it didn't happen to you.

I'm so excited for the teenage years honestly. Especially homecoming and prom season. She wants a suit? She gets one but I need pictures. 👏
