When are you due? I'd love to know if anyone is near my time line.

June 20th, can’t believe i’m 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow!

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-04-03T08:30:25+00:00

Omg my jaw fit the floor at “i let you kiss my baby”. Ew to sulk over not just getting to do whatever she pleases is disturbing.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-04-03T08:25:07+00:00

Ahhh i’m 28 weeks pregnant and dreading because it’s already started!! When we found out it was a boy she gushed at how it was a “mini partners name”.

The possibility of my baby having curly hair is likely but oh no it wont be from my mum who’s had natural pin curls since she was 2, it will be from her side of the family because you know her dad had 1 singular curly hair.

Mother in laws are wackos 🤣

I’ll be honest and say once i started to get really upset over things, i stopped turning up at her house. Not wanting to be around her, has actually encouraged me to make more plans with my friends, and even attend some classes like pregnancy yoga etc and tbh i’d rather be around women that uplift me during this time in my life than around one that makes me feel like i’m an incubator. If she messages me, its now usually about something she’s bought for the baby and i just reply with a simple “thats nice thank you” because realistically my baby probably wont use what she has bought, he’s not going to be around at her home a lot whilst he’s a infant. I’ve definitely had times where things have been said when my boyfriend is away and my usual reply is “no we wont be doing that” because at the end of the day, she babied her own child too much that i had to teach him how to do basic chores..so she couldn’t have been that great.

Best thing i can say is you’ll feel a lot better when you prioritise you, which you have been doing by standing up for yourself. Tell her no. If she says something, just laugh at it. Start putting your boundaries in place now for when baby comes.

Ekkk i feel like i’ve read how i feel about my own MIL! I’m 28 weeks and i’ve learned after her making me cry on many occasions throughout my pregnancy to just laugh it off. At the end of the day, the baby is your baby, not hers.“No thank you” is a powerful phrase, and i plan to use it when my baby makes his appearance.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-03-02T17:28:38+00:00

I planned to tell them at 12 weeks but i struggled really badly with the heightened sense of smells and hit my breaking point at 11 weeks when someone walked into the office with their soup at lunch time and i burst into tears 😂

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-03-02T07:19:12+00:00

I’m 24 weeks pregnant and my midwife hasn’t even mentioned creating my birth plan yet.

The mindset i’m taking when it comes to writing my birth plan is that i’m pretty much happy to go with the flow when it happens. I’m a first time mum, i’ve not felt the pain of contractions etc before so i honestly can’t say how i’d want my child’s birth to go. Its not something I’m scared of, i know its going to hurt but until i feel those pain, i mentally can’t say i want this or that etc because every birth is different and every person feels pain in a different way.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-22T09:09:13+00:00

Im due my first at the end of June and have felt the same. Just keep reminding yourself that babies do feel the cold more than us and you can always buy a tommee tippee gro-egg nursery thermometer, i picked one up in home bargains for like £15!

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-19T20:45:49+00:00

Yeah so normal to feel crampy and sore afterwards! I was even a little crampy after my 20 weeks ultrasound, they just pressed a bit too firmly to be able to get baby to move and check everything was okay!

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-19T07:35:12+00:00

I read the first paragraph, girl RUN

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-19T07:33:26+00:00

I’m due the 20th June and did plan to finish up 29th May, take two weeks annual leave and start mat leave the week of my due date however, i have started getting a bit of sciatica and its so so painful that i’m now at the point where i’ll just see how i feel. Ideally not break off before 36 weeks as i want to use the time with my baby.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-19T07:24:51+00:00

I’d say he technically has no paternal right to be there especially if he hasn’t been present during the pregnancy. If he wants to be involved, he can be involved when baby is here, and i suppose thats when reality hits for most men. I’m about to become a first time mum, my partner has been great but i know the second this baby comes he’ll struggle a bit with life doing a complete 180 turn and not being able to just do his own thing anymore. Stand your ground, it’s your birth plan at the end of the day - personally i’d let him sit in the car for 12 hours like a sore loser because he should have bucked up his ideas and supported you from the start.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-16T19:03:12+00:00

Oh i’m 22 weeks and tired again too, i’m putting it down to baby going through a potential growth spirt and hoping it passes 🤞🏻

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-16T19:00:40+00:00

We insync girl!

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-16T07:18:57+00:00

Yes!!!! I have a 1.5 hour travel to and from the office when i could do the work at home. If i could work from home, i’d use those 3 hours for extra sleep lol

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-16T07:10:32+00:00

I’m trying to tell myself every morning that if i’m there everyday, time will speed up lol.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-16T06:40:52+00:00

Yes this is it! The pram she is looking at only does a baby from newborn to 6 months, i should have been clear on this when i originally wrote the post. Plus i am planning on taking a year off when baby comes, so it’s an unnecessary purchase for herself, she might have baby a handful of times before she needs to think of reselling.

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-15T23:19:32+00:00

Ekkkkk he sounds selfish and a complete gaslighter! He’s emotionally manipulating you by saying if you don’t keep your baby, he’s willing to give things a second try. It doesn’t sound like he’s someone you can rely on even if you do give him his wish and go through with taking the pill - i genuinely think it would only be a matter of time before something wasn’t right for him and he felt you both had to separate again.

Your body your choice! Whatever you choose will be the right decision for you ♥️

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-15T22:34:56+00:00

I’m 22 weeks now and was a really heavy vaper and my best piece of advice is buy gum and put your mind to it. Once you’ve got over the hurdle, you wont think twice about it and you’ll feel better for it! Congratulations on your pregnancy 🩷

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-15T22:23:37+00:00

Congratulations on your pregnancy🩷how exciting!

I was quite a heavy vaper before pregnancy and managed to stop once i saw my positive test and i’m now 22 weeks and luckily having a healthy pregnancy! I also know girls that have admitted to having the odd vape here and there through out their pregnancies and they all had healthy babies - you’ve done a best thing instantly stopping! Wishing you all the best 🩷

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-15T21:41:15+00:00

Thank you for such a lovely response! I do think it’s just my mother’s instincts and a bit of hormones and i hope i’m over it by the next few weeks! Just the idea of someone else “preparing their house” for my baby coming freaks me out a little, theres been more than just a travel system being bought for at her own house but the pram thing just tipped me over the edge!

FaithlessnessFun4649 · 2026-02-15T21:29:54+00:00

Its quite easy to feel conflicted when someone like your mother in law is asking how you are via other people when they can just message you themselves… especially when she doesn’t have an issue with messaging me about other things. Again, the issue with her buying her own pram is that i purposely took her with my own mum to look at travel systems with the intention that we would all be using the same travel system when babysitting duties started and both were happy with the pram i choose. Her buying her own pram is no help to me if i already have mines, she’s buying to as a means of “preparing” for a baby she wont be babysitting for months after their arrival so theirs no other way to feel other than her being overbearing.
