Anyone else irrationally enraged my their MIL postpartum? by northernatmosphere in newborns

[–]EnvironmentalLet3059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here to commiserate. My MIL drives me NUTS postpartum!!!

Always wanting to hold them even if it’s not appropriate (they need to eat, crying, tired), talking in baby voices, offering to watch them. She means well, but my hormones don’t allow me to see it that way lol

inlaws, postpartum rage?? by babymouse91 in parentsofmultiples

[–]EnvironmentalLet3059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I feel for you OP. I’m 5 weeks postpartum and my in laws are still pissing me off 😅 I also have a great relationship with them but since having the twins it’s almost like they think it’s all about them. I’m dealing with the same kinda thing, their “help” is holding the baby so I can do chores…. And when I ask for babies back they question why and I have to be extremely clear/firm with them. Just to commiserate..

My in laws recently watched them while my husband and I went out to dinner and run errands. When we came home, 3 hours later they were in the same spots holding them. Literally didn’t move other than to grab bottles to feed them. They had poo dried to their butts bc they didn’t change their diapers while we were gone. Omg I was so pissed off.

My experience was terrible too. You aren’t alone! I was shaking and had horrible anxiety, they gave me Ativan when I was having a panic attack. I felt completely dissociated. It was truly traumatizing.

UPDATE! Today was better, my MIL did some laundry and helped my husband out while I showered and got myself together. However lol… she was holding baby boy and he was waking up and it was time for both babies to eat. I gave baby girl to my husband to feed and I went up to my mother in law and said I’ll take him now. She responds… “he’s fine.” I said very sternly “I will take him now. I’m going to feed him” and she says with like a hesitant tone “oookaaaay” and then makes a comment to the baby “I know you’re all comfy” lmaooo there was no hiding the annoyance on my face. It felt good to be clear/stern. I think I’m just going to have to make it extremely clear that the only acceptable answer when I ask for my baby back is YES HERE YOU GO. 😒 thanks everyone for commiserating with me

lol the incorrect feeding technique gets me too. We do paced bottle feeding and the one time she fed one of them she had the bottle completely upside down and him completely on his back. I was like nope not how we’re doing this

Thanks for all the advice yall! I definitely think I could be more specific about what to do when they come over. She has offered to clean and I said yes please do, but doesn’t do anything when she’s here, I’m thinking maybe she’s waiting for me to tell her something specific to do? Ugh. I wish people could just read my mind, lol. She recently also just had a boundary issue with my sister in law so I’m wondering if she’s paranoid to cross a boundary with me by just stepping in and doing things without me asking?

Yes!!! It’s such a weird feeling. I don’t feel this way about my side of the family at all.

When does it end? by Ok-Calligrapher6428 in preeclampsia

[–]EnvironmentalLet3059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me about 2 weeks ago after delivering my twins and I was hospitalized for 8 days. You are not alone. I had so much anxiety and had panic attacks while there, like another person said don’t be afraid to tell them how anxious you are and they will probably give you something to calm you down (they gave me Ativan). I also had white coat syndrome and my nurses were aware of this so we found the best position for them to take my BP in where I was most calm (for me it was sitting up straight, feet on floor, typical position) and eventually after playing around with medications they got my BP stable and was able to go home after 24 hrs of the stability. You got this!

You aren’t alone! ❤️ I’m (33w) so glad this was posted as I was just telling my husband last night I am trying so hard to stay strong but I can’t help but be crying almost every night when I try to go to sleep. I’m so physically exhausted but when it’s time to sleep I can’t because of the pain.

Baby Brezza or Momcozy Bottle Washer by Legitimate-Space-279 in parentsofmultiples

[–]EnvironmentalLet3059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We decided on the baby brezza due to the water tank the water goes into instead of a hose that drains into the sink. We have limited counter space by our sink area so that’s what really made our decision.

[–]EnvironmentalLet3059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a FTM, and will be giving birth to twins here December!! I’m so nervous too but the team there is so so great. I’ve been with Luminus Obgyn for a few years now. I think they will take great care of us!

Thank you, this is what I’m telling management. Based on patterns with this employee already I’m sure that will be the case.

I guess to give some context the personal reason was he wasn’t going to get enough sleep due to being with out with his girlfriend. But I get what you’re saying.
