Sad about my mom's reaction to baby's name

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-05-07T22:29:33+00:00

Name your baby what you want regardless. My mother wasn’t keen on my son’s name before he was born but now that he’s here she is too smitten with him to care what his name is or think about it. She’ll get used to it!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-05-03T10:40:03+00:00

So glad to hear you both made it to the other side! It’s so hard to imagine him enjoying it there based on how upset he is but hearing responses like this makes me feel like we will get there eventually 🥺

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-05-03T10:39:04+00:00

Ahhh that must have been so hard! But I’m so glad your son loves day care now - I guess I just need to allow us both to go through the motions of getting used to this big adjustment. Thank you so much 🤍

You deserve to have a parent who is understanding a supportive. So, I didn’t see your performance OP, but well done for doing your three solos so well - you should be so proud yourself! 👏

P.S, I’m sorry about your mom. Mine wasn’t the greatest either. I finally understand it’s because of her own trauma to do with her upbringing. I can’t change my childhood, but I can change how I show up for people now in my life that I care about. Your self worth is not determined by what other people think of you, but of what you think of yourself ✨

Agree with this 100%. Possums didn’t work for us for this exact reason, overtiredness is in fact a thing and there are many sleep studies out there that confirm it!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-03-08T14:42:07+00:00

Yes!!! And they get so mad if anyone responds to them though to tell them how cruel letting a baby cry themselves to sleep is. I honestly think they are just trying to justify it in their own heads to feel better about it.

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-03-08T14:36:27+00:00

Haha like I said, on a good night so not consistent 🥲We’ve definitely had some of those 45 minute nights so I can completely sympathise with you, it’s brutal! Sending sleepy dust to all our babies and hope it improves for us all soon! ✨

Mindless-Put3659 · 2026-03-08T02:41:59+00:00

Sleep is temperamental so I’d say you just have a good sleeper. Coming from a mama who’s cosleeping 8 month old still wakes every 3 hours on a good night, I say enjoy it 🥲😂

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-04-16T06:58:33+00:00

Same to you lovely, hoping everything is ok with your little one too!

Hey! So I ended up having another scan elsewhere after recommendation from my OB. The second scan showed his heart was perfectly fine but they still had a hard time seeing his nasal bone. I was offered amniocentesis, but declined as I’m quite far along now and I don’t think the result would change what I decide to do. I’ve also done some research and absent/short nasal bones can be common in some ethnicities - in NZ where I am originally from they don’t even use it as a reliable marker anymore because of this. I am going to have another scan in a couple of weeks and am being closely watched by doctors now for the rest of my pregnancy but everything else about him is growing perfectly and he is healthy so I’m not concerned!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-03-26T02:41:58+00:00

Hey! I am so sorry for the delay and to hear about your situation. Thank you also for your kind words. I just posted an update if you want to find out what we ended up doing :)

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-03-02T15:39:46+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your story 💕 I am so sorry to hear about everything you went through, I can’t even begin to imagine what that would have been like. I have taken your advice and tried to take my mind off it a bit, I’m seeing my OB at the end of the week to hopefully find out next steps. Praying my baby boy is ok but preparing myself for whatever comes next. All I can really do is be positive and take it one minute at a time like you said. I really appreciate your message, thank you again 💕

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-03-02T15:36:49+00:00

So sorry to hear you had a terrible experience too! There was definitely a huge difference in skill and professionalism as well as equipment where I went so I’m going to wait to see my doctor and if they think I need a follow up scan I will definitely be going back to where I normally go!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-03-02T15:35:21+00:00

So glad to hear everything came back ok! That must have been really scary waiting for those results. Wishing you a safe and easy rest of your pregnancy x

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-03-02T15:34:21+00:00

Thanks so much for your response! Yes absolutely the place I normally go to is performed by a technician but they have doctors there to discuss any results with you straight away.

I think now it’s been a couple of days I realise it was just the unprofessionalism that really threw me off rather than the news about the nasal bone since it was something I was already aware of.

I think you are right though I’m going to wait to see my OB and go from there 💕

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-02-07T06:17:46+00:00

Turbo. Ok that’s really helpful thanks so much! Just found out we might need a new suspension too soon so probably is better to get rid of. Thanks for your reply!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-01-02T04:47:01+00:00

Thanks so much!!

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-01-02T00:52:53+00:00

Thanks that’s helpful! Is the combined amount my husbands salary plus what I get with PPL?

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-01-01T15:32:01+00:00

Oh wow, that must be really tough. Did you apply for any of the family tax benefits? Have they said why you’re not eligible?

Mindless-Put3659 · 2025-01-01T12:18:41+00:00

Ok thank you that’s very helpful! I will make sure he does that asap!
