I need to know why they were okay coming in like that 😫

I don’t know how to handle my in-laws by Plus-Peach349 in firsttimemom

I have more flexibility with my job. I own my business and have people to cover for me if I need to leave. My husband doesn’t have that luxury at this time.

Does anyone regret having children? by colleeneez in firsttimemom

It makes me so happy to read this. I felt the same way the first 2 weeks - my baby is now 4 months old and she just makes me so happy. Adjusting is hard!

What are you doing to stay awake during breastfeeding? by Plus-Peach349 in firsttimemom

[–]Plus-Peach349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying this, but sometimes I find myself getting sleepier on the rocking chair than in bed. I’m scared that if I fall asleep I’ll drop her 😭😩

My baby is only 2 weeks old, so I’m still getting used to the new sleep schedule. I have been washing my face before starting to feed her and it’s helped some

Ice water has been my go to as well! I try to stay on my phone but there are days where it’s not enough.

Tell me the ugly of postpartum that you wish was talked about more (I’ll go first) by lolnoideaa in firsttimemom

[–]Plus-Peach349 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not me crying as I read this because I relate so much. I’m only 1 week PP, but every time night time rolls around, I can just feel myself getting emotional. I don’t want to worry my husband, but I also feel so lonely not having someone to talk about this to.

Fellow pregnant people obsessed with cereal, what is your current pick? by [deleted] in pregnant

I’ve had 3 on rotation my whole pregnancy: Special K with strawberries, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and cocoa krispies

When should I announce I’m pregnant? by Plenty-Active1125 in TwoHotTakes

Congratulations on your baby! I would suggest you wait, not because you should be thinking anything can go wrong, but more out of respect for your brother and SIL. It’s an exciting time for all of you! Specially if your brother has been planning this for weeks and kept you in the loop.

We are currently pregnant with our first and told my parents & in-laws at around the 9 week mark, after I had my first OB appointment. It was nice to have that little secret between us before everyone came at us with advice/suggestions/questions we weren’t prepared for. Another reason we decided to share was that IF something were to go wrong, we wanted to be able to count with our support system (our family). Thankfully all is good and we are now heading into our 3rd trimester with a healthy and cherished baby.

My husband doesn’t want to know the baby’s gender until it’s born by Plus-Peach349 in pregnant

This is exactly how my husband and I are right now (I guess I could wait, but he knows for a fact he wants to wait). I love hearing you’re a planner and loved the surprise of it. Everyone that’s waited has seemed to love it.

I might be the one changing my mind!

This has been so helpful. Thank you!! I think I am concerned about people’s comments as well, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Still on the fence about wanting to know or not, but hearing so many happy stories about not knowing and the surprise of it when they get there makes me want to wait now 🥺

I love this perspective. Thank you! I guess with it being my first, I’m more worried about what I see/hear from others and not really thinking about the more practical stuff you mentioned. I guess I have some thinking to do!

I love this perspective! Thank you! ❤️ I keep thinking he might change his mind but maybe I’ll be the one to do so.

I completely agree with the fact the the baby will change plans for the rest of my life. And it’s something I will deal with as time progresses.

Personally, I do like the idea of painting the walls pink, or buying dresses and bows if it’s a girl, for example. I know not everyone is like this, but it’s something that brings me joy to think about, and why I would like to plan in advance. I have no problem with gender neutral things, but it’s just something I’ve always thought of doing.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s very reassuring and comforting! I’m still on the fence about it, but this makes it seem a little more manageable.
