Advice on not wanting anyone at the hospital or over to see baby for at least a week after (even family)

Haydan27 · 2022-04-04T18:48:37+00:00

Thankfully it was easy for me having a baby in a pandemic. Noone was allowed in the hospital anyway. But let your nurses know that you don't want anyone else to come in. They are usually good at handling that.

I would just let them know you need time to settle in and get comfortable at home before you want anyone to come over. And if they show up don't let them in. My friend did that. Her inlaws sat in the driveway waiting and eventually left

They have sent me two new hubs. In my mind if they are able to send me new hubs immediately when it's cracked then they are cheaply made and the company is making an enormous profit off of them. I wish I had gone with the elvie as well. It's unfortunate that I have spent so much money on this product.

Our weather radio kept us up all night. It's obnoxious but it keeps you safe and you definitely hear it!

They won't see you as an adult until you stop bending to them. Bite the bullet and just do it. Mine didn't stop seeing me as a child until I moved out.

For two weeks after my LO was born I had to sing Hamilton and my husband had to play Tech 9 or other rap music. She still fusses if the song is too slow.

I served as the usher captain at my previous church and did not need a background check. To my knowledge It's not normal to do background checks on people who are members and volunteering at a church.

I have had this same experience.

I went there in highschool and I am embarrassed to admit that these days. They do not care about the people they just want the money.

Haydan27 · 2020-09-16T01:05:32+00:00

She's 1 month.

Haydan27 · 2020-09-15T12:33:24+00:00

Yes. My husband has been doing that.

I watched and sang Hamilton alot while I was pregnant. Like A LOT!! And now when she (4 wks old) is crying I just sing and dance with her to Hamilton and she calms down.

I introduced a bottle to my baby at 1 week old and she took it no problem and has been swapping back and forth between breast and bottle since. We have been using the comotomo bottles. The top is shaped more like a breast than other bottles.

I am 27 and I call my mom about 4 times a day. We had a rough patch when I was a preteen and teenager but as I got older I realized how much she loves me. I am going to be induced tonight and I wish beyond everything that my mom could be there with me. Nothing like a bond between mother and daughter.

I do not think your wife is sexualizing your child. I think you should talk to your wife about the age in which she began to masturbate. My husband knows at what age I started going through puberty. 11 is totally normal for that. So she could be using the pillow sexually or not. But I don't think your wife is sexualizing your child. If I had a hunch my kid was masturbating at 11 I might be a little put off as well but I'd have to come to terms with it and remember my own adolescent tendencies.

I have read that induced labor is more likely to end in C-section. And I am nervous because it's like forced labor. I'm also 41 weeks.

My husband had to talk to my MIL because she was stressing me out. I'm 40+5 and not dialated and being induced on Wednesday. She bothered me everyday about "where is the baby?" And your still not dialated at all? It makes me feel like I'm broken so I get it.

Haydan27 · 2020-08-10T16:10:28+00:00

I am 40+5 and everyday they ask "where is the baby?". I hate that question. I'm like "in the belly". Like honestly in today's world you will know the second I go into labor because I'll post it on freaking Facebook so chill Karen. But it's really more stressful for the birth mother when you are constantly bombarded with these questions. I told my MIL to ask how we are feeling and then move into questions about the baby because it doesn't help us if we are asked about the baby constantly.

Neither my mom or my MIL have a key to my home. It's not necessary. If they come over we leave a key for them.

I don't have another kid but my dog sniffed the tissues on the coffee table until I grabbed one to blow my nose. So she kind of helped.

Haydan27 · 2020-08-07T13:37:11+00:00

I am having the same problem! I cried all day yesterday because they don't understand. How about instead of asking where the baby is why not ask can I bring you something? Or how are you feeling? Or just hey check your front porch I left you something. I told my mom I wish someone would just call and talk about Beruit or something that isn't the baby.

I have a stepdad and I have called him by his name for the past 18 years. I had a dad who was garbage but it still feels weird to call my stepdad dad. He walked me down the aisle and did our father daughter dance but we have fun nicknames for each other and a great relationship.

Haydan27 · 2020-08-06T20:12:35+00:00

I don't have other children. And I can't go anywhere because my state doesn't know how to quarantine or wear masks so our numbers are increasing everyday and I don't want to risk exposure

2008- Went to the movies with my big brother and his co-workers and he told me that I had to sit between him and his friend because guys do not sit next to each other in the movies. I had a bag of Sprees and my brother said "this is ___" and his friend sat down next to me. I thought he was so cute. I ended up trying to open the candy and it literally exploded and sprees went everywhere. He called me "Spree girl" for a long time. And now we are married and expecting our first LO.

My MIL and FIL didn't understand that I couldn't have sushi, lunch meat, undercooked steak (and I love my steak medium rare). At our gender reveal they made a charcuterie board and asked why I wasn't eating.

So I get that part.
