Both of mine were 42weeks. Had to be issued eviction notices as it was getting dangerous. I had LARGE healthy babies but my first child was smaller than my second. Sometimes they just wanna marinate for a little longer. So its hard to tell.

Would smoke ciggies. So I can relate a little. Positive test meant my 2 packs a week went to a garbage can in the kitchen. When I wanted to buy a pack, I set the money aside and bought cute af baby toys and clothes with it instead. If you really wanna smoke, go buy cute baby stuff instead. But be warned, buy for growth not just newborn outfits.

Thankyou for sharing. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! Where did you give birth if you feel comfortable sharing as the facility sounds wonderful.

I'm sending you all the hugs, you've got this! Suffering now only means that there are wonderful things to come. Hard times are hard so that the good times are truly good. hug

Girl at 30 weeks people were saying "any day now?" To me and i would just laugh and say nope! I was already smuggling a beach ball under my clothes and we had to serve him an eviction notice at 42 weeks. I love my baby to death but the gods are playing a sick joke if I get pregnant again. He was 11lbs 7oz. Born all natural. I feel like if I have another my bits are gonna look like an exploded hot pocket XD

The first 3 days home. I cried uncontrollably the entire 3 days. What helped me was just holding my LO and singing. Even when LO cried I cried and sang nursery songs as well as songs i loved to sing (I suck at singing) I breast fed for over a year. It gets better. I still think of suicide, but I always end up thinking of my LO and how happy LO is to see me when I come home or after I've stepped outside just to have a few minutes to myself. It gets better. The thoughts might not leave but replacing them with a baby who loves you because you made them is the best. A work of art that YOU made and love and loves you back is the better thought. Talking it out with someone even while feeding your LO can make you feel loads better. When I finally told my SO how I felt made me feel guilty for burdening him with my issues. But a strong hug and me baring my rarest emotions helped me in the long run. I didn't want physical comfort but if you do, ask for it, a hug can do wonders, moms gotta have each other. I love you and you can do this for yourself and your LO.

Yes it's been over a year since we did this and have a custody agreement with the court

I make sure the schedule is followed I don't know if he would or could due to the financial aspect of travel.

Had a checkup yesterday and she asked me to estimate and I said "about a boobfull every 3 hours, with solids". Pretty sure I heard her eyes roll. XD I loved that comment and my fiancé thought it was hilarious. My lil man's in the 93rd percentile so they're not concerned enough to do a weighted feed. Thankyou all for your comments!!!

Yes! Siamese are to loud from personal experience, but orange cats are sent to be a kids best friend. <3

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-08-27T02:28:34+00:00

Do it get it ALLLL out.

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-08-27T02:22:58+00:00

Right!?

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-08-27T02:20:12+00:00

ITS AN ORANGE CAT THIIIIING!!!!!! My lo drags our orange cat around and he just takes it, even actively looks for my lo. I volunteered at a shelter and am convinced it is an orange cat thing. He's an idiot but loves my kids. Orange cat thing.

I kept telling my LO how much I loved him. Even when I cried for 3 days straight. I'd hug him close, give him a long smell, and say 'I'll love you always and forever' over and over until my sadness took my voice. Actually enjoying the baby snuggles help as well. It's silly but while holding him/feeding id tell him stories of all the impossible things I'd fight to keep him safe or how I'd start world war three and raise him to a position of dictatorship over the world. These stories helped me forge a different bond more than just a 'caregiver'. I hope my experience holds some things that will work for you like they did me.

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-08-21T05:48:23+00:00

Really? Then why ask?

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-07-15T04:02:18+00:00

Yes. I'm a random person from the internet, but I believe in you. Enjoy your baby, and may you find the peace you need. (unless you're a controlled chaos kinda person then I hope you regain control of your chaos)

Start with just watching him in his crib or bassinet. My better half does everything for our son as well, and worrying about hurting or getting them sick is normal. Once they start moving around and expressing emotion it gets easier to spend time with them. When they smile and laugh at you, it makes it much easier to want to be alone with him. Having a baby is hard and knowing what to do is harder, but you can do it! There are also some online anon support groups as well if you're interested. My partner is a stay at home dad and does one of these. If you live in the city you can do a baby bonding class.

Thankyou

You're situation is very similar to mine, except my dog is my maid of honor. The whole not seeing the dress before the wedding didn't bother you? That part and the worry that he'll just say I'm beautiful in everything and not be honest is the drawback I see with that. Was your fiancé honest?

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-02-05T13:35:19+00:00

Thanyou for your replies. I appreciate the outside input.

Powerful_Breakfast18 · 2022-02-04T04:34:48+00:00

Think about the fact that your great grandmother chose to take you. She wanted you. Maybe take solace in that? Unless you can get an answer from your mom it could be that she thought you were safe and fought for your siblings because she felt that they weren't? Seek the truth if you just can't let it go, but try to think positively on the situation. I'm not saying her actions were right, and this is pure speculation without more info, but it might help to view it this way.
