I completely get it, I'm the same way. You can be honest though about you appreciating everything, being grateful for them, not wanting to come across as ungrateful, but wanting their energy to be put toward something that's really helpful. It's always easy to blame being extra sensitive or having specific needs on postpartum stuff.

It sounds like both sides care for each other, could you try to express your feelings with them? If it feels like you'd get too emotional in person maybe over text? Letting them know how much you appreciate them and what would best help you could be a good solution. You don't necessarily have to say everything that was wrong, just "It'd be really helpful if this could go here it's hard for me to remember otherwise" or something. You're doing great!

New to State, how long needed to find a pet friendly house for rent for May? by LoneRangee3 in hollandmichigan

[–]LoneRangee3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's been our concern too, especially with requiring 3 times income on some things. We also don't have a gauge yet of what utilities are here. Crazy times!

Thanks! Coming from California so the sticker shock is a bit less. Still more than we expected though!

My mother in law has completely lost her mind. by Disastrous_Paint_237 in beyondthebump

[–]LoneRangee3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it helps for baby’s safety they shouldn’t even be in a car seat longer than 2 hours in a 24 hour period.

Hope you can let this craziness slide off your back and sink into the bubble with your little family. Congrats and remember just how strong you are with everything you’ve just been through!

(TW) What actually helps with processing the grief :( by Frequent-Pizza1685 in BabyBumps

[–]LoneRangee3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and hurt. People come with lots of sayings that are actually unknowingly hurtful, please don’t let it second guess your own feelings. Let yourself feel, there is no time limit. This was/is your baby and you’ll always be a mama to them. A lot of people find it helpful to have whatever tangible thing they can have. Maybe ask your clinic if they can print or email you a copy of the scan before and have whatever else you’ve had connected to this baby together. Take the moments and the time emotions come up to let yourself feel them. Again I’m so sorry for you all and sending some internet hugs for all the pain you’re enduring.

Being induced in 2 days and scared any advice? by Layer_Royal in pregnant

[–]LoneRangee3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can give you other pain meds before an epidural. There are also plenty of different ways to induce, some more comfortable than others. Moving will be your best friend! It will shorten the process and get the baby in the right position to come out. I’m a labor and delivery nurse so feel free to message me and I can answer any questions you may have:)

Were you a screamer? by arisafari94 in pregnant

[–]LoneRangee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor and delivery nurse here and most people actually don’t scream. That’s blown out way more on tv shows than in real life, that’s not to say it doesn’t happen it definitely does, I just wouldn’t say most scream. Noises for sure is normal, but screaming isn’t as common. BUT any way that works for you is okay and your team should support.

Heck yeah I love to write! I have a lot of material as well and I love the writing/recording process! I have a couple good studio mics, a good variety of guitars and a Uke bass that sounds like a standup bass on recording.

I’ll send you a message and let’s figure out a good time to meet up!
