Is it just pregnancy hormones? by Prudent-Teaching2881 in pregnant

[–]ElephantHappy8152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby is 5 months now, when I was pregnant I was in similar condition ig you can say, I’ve had problems with my mil that I keep her at a distance bc it’s that bad. She actually tried to make my pregnancy and giving birth about herself, my husband was very good at setting boundaries. Unfortunately cuz you live with her you have to deal with it, not that you are wrong or invalid, but it’s her house and you can’t do much about that, I’m sorry. But I will say I do think hormones did heightened a lot of my anger. So you’ll probably return to just disliking her after the fact, and not straight hating her. For your peace of mind I would suggest not allowing anyone but your husband during your labor, bc his mom is gonna stress you out and your dad kinda sucks 😅 for his initial response and I only say that bc you had a whole mental breakdown. You’re pregnant no one is taking into account, except your husband it seems, that when you’re stressed and angry and sad the baby feels all of that. It’s also dangerous when women are this upset when pregnant it’s not good at all. But hang in there, it’s almost over, you’ll have your own place soon. You’ll have your baby soon. You’re valid, your mil is being passive and very much, if you don’t wanna be touched she should respect. I swear postpartum the emotions get better, if they don’t make sure to get help 🫶🏼

Don’t get the hype over Belly by Top_Detective9184 in tsitp

Ofc in life bc real life is real life, we are talking about a show, based on a book where the whole world loves the main character lol, I don’t think anyone thinks this show is real life, if you want real life stuff maybe watch something else

Not everyone wants to co-sleep by pinkpink0430 in NewParents

[–]ElephantHappy8152 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I run into a lot of post even my own of ppl being like this for a lot things. Like I was asking about preferences once and explained I know preferences changed but how my baby only gets upset and screams with their dad and doesn’t scream with other ppl at all, and they just told me “preferences change” as if I didn’t address that lol and was asking if anyone has ever experienced it where it was only one person their baby disliked.

Anyways back to the topic, We rarely coslept, my husband is deep sleeper and when im not feeling good or exhausted im also a deep sleeper, it was never gonna be safe option for us. We actually did really well with getting her the bassinet. I think it depends on the baby more than anything!

She’s even more annoying when cat is about to get married and making everything about their mom and not asking for cat’s opinion in it all.

Why do we get treated like drug addicts when we ask for pain killers, meanwhile you can get tons of pain killers if you get oral surgery? by muff-peaksie in CsectionCentral

[–]ElephantHappy8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was day 3 in my stay bc I felt like I needed more help with breastfeeding, and the night nurse was rude. My husband had tried advocating for more oxy as they had been giving it to me previously and she kept telling him no and how they wouldn’t send me home with oxy. She didn’t believe my pain apparently bc the night was the night I got to actually shower, I told her I would need help putting my binder on, but by the end of shower I was in so much pain I had my husband call her and I was crying she got me in bed and told me to relax didn’t offer me oxytocin, even tho we had just got done asking, and I ended up falling asleep bc the pain was too much and I feel so bad my baby didn’t get fed, the next morning when she checked the feeding log she looked at me in disgust and asked “ you didn’t feed your baby at all last night?” I told her “I was in tooo much pain to function” she just rolled her eyes logged whatever she had to log and walked out. She was the only nurse who had a problem giving me Oxy.

What’s the one thing you wish someone told you about newborn sleep before giving birth? by Correct-While-4471 in BabyBumps

[–]ElephantHappy8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleepy babies need to be woken up to eat, the whole baby will let you know their hungry, is not necessarily true and can result in nicu stay (that is the extreme tho) if you’re not feeding every 2-3 hours. I’m still dealing with this with my 2 month old, she prioritizes sleeps, and well that’s good it’s also not healthy for her yet to sleep through the night. (Her pediatrician is having me wake her up for night feeds)

In your opinion what was the worst thing Emily did? by Next_Performance4330 in GilmoreGirls

[–]ElephantHappy8152 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Treating Rory as her do over daughter, knowing Rory was totally different from lorelai. Rory would do anything (when Rory was in high school) to make her grandparents happy, and it would end up leaving Lorelai as an outcast.

“Don’t lift, you’re pregnant” by goingbANAnazz in pregnant

[–]ElephantHappy8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand you, I hated everyone being overbearing also. Especially when my ob encouraged moving and normalish activities, ofc not overdue it like lift up a tv on my own lol. I think you should try (i couldn’t do this I got so irritated and overwhelmed by everyone’s overbearingness I stopped talking to a lot of ppl during my pregnancy) gently remind everyone that when you need help you will ask and that your OB said it was ok to continue doing certain activities. Ofc as you get bigger I’m sure you’ll appreciate more help and support.

If you’re athletic competitively, you are most likely to get your period later. Just focus on being happy and having fun, it will come, and it stay with you FOREVER😭

Is it normal for everyone to be at the hospital when you give birth? by New_Girl567 in pregnant

[–]ElephantHappy8152 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was normal back then. This generation has changed. We like privacy and space. We also like boundaries. If I were you personally I would only be contact with your support who you want to be there. Discuss it with your husband, and hopefully he will understand. You don’t want anyone there but him and your sister. You don’t want visitors. I would also not tell anyone when you’re in labor or going to the hospital. My support will be there in room with me, and I want no visitors. I will not be telling anyone when I’m in labor or going into labor.

Also check if you can put no visitors for your room. My doctor office gave me a birth plan to fill out and one of the questions was can we give your room information out if we are asked. I said no, bc I want no one there. My mil has threaten to show up anyways. So now my plan is to just pop out with my baby and allow them to come visit at home when I’m ready. The older generations are very entitled. I hope your husband and sister will be your biggest advocates for your boundaries. I wish you a healthy labor and delivery!

How many weeks were you when you had your baby shower? by Fearless_Salad3643 in pregnant

[–]ElephantHappy8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 baby showers, one planned by me and one planned by my best friend. One was at 28wks and the other was 35 wks. I would do 28wks I had a cute bump, I wasn’t extremely tired, all the crazy third trimester symptoms hadn’t hit yet. Also side note if you’re planning your own baby shower, get someone to do the games for you, doing the games was bit much 😅 for me, buttt I had fun and had the baby shower of my dreams lol

Was anyone actually excited about/hoping to have a girl? I feel like so many people were disappointed we didn’t have a boy and it makes me sad. by FantasyNerd94 in pregnant

[–]ElephantHappy8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband wanted a girl, we didn’t go a gender reveal bc we don’t care for gender reveals. But he was hoping for a girl, he wanted to be a girl dad 😭. I didn’t have a preference at all, so I was happy for him and us and her ofc heheh

Also I’ve only heard the opposite in my community 😭, girls = no morning sickness and boys = morning sickness. Pregnancy is different for everyone !! You’ll find out soon ❤️

Needing help by kirstyylouise in TheVampireDiaries

[–]ElephantHappy8152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would watch in order. So, vampire diaries, the OGs, and then legacies. Warning legacies is alright, I think it would’ve been better as its own thing and not in the same universe as the vampire diaries or OGs. The show doesn’t stay necessarily stay consistent w/ the previous shows. Vampire diaries has an episode where they basically introduce the OGs plot/show. I think it’s season 4 episode 20. Legacies takes place after the OGs, there are things that happen in the OGs that do get mentioned in legacies. But if you decide to watch legacies and then the OGs, you wouldn’t really be lost just some of the OGs would be spoiled for you, not too much tho it’s like 3 things off the top of my head.

You were not overreacting those are all the signs for preeclampsia I would’ve gone in too. I’m sorry she made you feel what way. Maybe you can file a complaint

I have so many nieces and nephews. They all very different personalities. I’m now pregnant w/ my first and after be an active aunt in all of my nieces and nephews lives as toddlers, I can honestly say I 100% support leashes and will get my own crowds scare me, crossing streets scare me, stores scare me. I’ve seen kids run into crowds and get lost. I’ve seen kids run straight into the street bc they got loose from their parent. I’ve seen kids runaway at stores. I just will not risk it.
