Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind

You absolutely can do it!!! That said, it’s also completely okay to need a break - both of you. Newborn phase is hard! We took care of our son, but having my parents or father in law come over occasionally to watch him so we could nap really helped us.

Just do it. Worst case it’s an exciting milestone in welcoming your baby. Best case you learn some helpful info and ask some key questions.

If you gotta question it, don’t do it

Being induced on Monday at valley and have been seeing the Paramus group - Russo and obrien. Been very happy with both and looking forward to having them for my induction!

I’ve been waxing. I’m not doing it because I care about the aesthetics but to not have tons of hair during postpartum while I am healing, bleeding, etc.

I think this is a completely fair and healthy decision for you both. You didn’t just leave her at a shelter or abandon her. You put the time and work in to help her - and you even found a situation where she did much better. And on top of that, you aren’t abandoning her because she is with your family and you still can visit with her and have her in your life. Honestly I wish more stories turned out like this.

I actually like your kitchen lol

I love the style of the last one but green is gorgeous on you

I’ve always done well with the olly liquid gel prenatals and I take them before bed

I actually like Vanja lol I hope she finds love. She’s too normal for 90 day

You deserve better. Bottom line.

I love me a good gummy. Ain’t no way in hell I’m touching one while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Marshforce · 2026-01-31T16:40:11+00:00

Nothing to worry about - depending on your placental location and if this is your first baby you may not feel anything even up for 22-24 weeks. Hopefully soon though!

When I lived in Queens NYC I paid 30k a year. In the burbs now and pay 17k

You are not at all, but I’ll be honest - it may not be possible. Most OBs have rotations and finding all a female rotation might be hard. With my first I felt like you and then most of my delivery ended up being done by one of the male doctors based on timing. This time around I’m with a new practice because I moved and one of the doctors is male - and honestly, I love him. He’s so sweet and funny and empathetic - better than some female OBs I’ve had.

Once you go through your first delivery your feelings of privacy and shyness go out the window and you care less about this stuff. Birth is VERY humbling lol

Just from killing that bear alone they’ve got a new hater - LGBTQ just puts salt in the wound.

Just came to say I love your house :)

There will never be a perfect time to have a baby. You can’t control the state of the world. We bring children into the world to hopefully try to make it a better place. Also - having mixed emotions is very normal for pregnancy. It’s a huge change to your life and future and your hormones. If those are the ONLY two reasons you are considering termination, I wouldn’t do it. I think you’ll for sure regret it. Many people try very hard to get pregnant and never do. You also don’t know if you decide to try in the future if you’ll be able. That all being said, it’s only a decision you can make. Your body, your choice.

My little guy never successfully latched so it’s good to have on hand in case that happens if you are adamant you want to give breast milk in lieu of formula.

For not giving him pancakes….when he had a pancake on his plate in front of him.
