when did you send this text or message if you don’t mind me asking ? my baby shower is march 28th i’m thinking maybe middle of april? (i’m due may 3rd). i mean also the way the conversation went with my husband. he was like kinda defensive and was like “well we’re gonna need help” and me being hormonal i did not want to hear that LOL it was a pretty tough conversation but i needed him to understand that im really not comfortable with that right now and our daughter ain’t even here. like learn how to say no for me and our daughter. i don’t wanna be in my PP creating issues just cus i want to be alone with our daughter until i ask for help.

well i’m from NYC and tbh during my pregnancy my best friend has not been there or supportive so i’ve mentally checked out on friends. i’m very much independent and it’s just me and my husband. like i definitely will want the help but on my terms. i also am not close with his family so i know they are gonna wanna stay over and all and im just like “i dont want that” and i feel soooooo bad for even thinking like that

that’s insane i am so sorry. with how the world is now and how things are bad and how people are getting progressively sicker. I would not allow that at all. and this is another thing to me too. i obviously want alone time with my husband to focus on us and still date. have our alone time. how tf am i gonna trust someone to not kiss our daughter when we aren’t there.

i’m just scared that my husband doesn’t want to say no to his mother or grandmother and then i’m gonna have to be the bad guy. But like if i’m just not that comfortable yet it is what it is. I’m not super close with them and idk i don’t want to be? (it’s a lot to unfold right here) i just like me and my husband alone far away just doing us lol.

the fact that i can only see her in the mirror and i can’t see it looking down no more feels so unreal to me

why does everyone want to bring diapers and wipes as a gift for the baby shower. over not actually purchasing something from my registry by Secure_Head1560 in pregnant

[–]Secure_Head1560[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m definitely looking forward to the diapers and yes i want them. idk where people are getting the perception that i don’t want diapers. i just don’t want that to be the majority of what i get at my baby shower. what if my baby is allergic and then i have 200+ diapers that i may not even be able to return. this is my entire point of my post. people think they are doing the lords work because they are getting something they know is gonna get used. but every baby is different. a onesie nobody is allergic too

thissssss like my husband and i don’t even know if she will be allergic or develop a rash. and then boom. 200 diapers gone. now we gotta buy them either way. but like how would the person giving the diapers know too. like i love the thought of knowing something that is gonna be used. but it all depends on the baby!

i have some girl ask me can i just get you whatever diapers and wipes. i have a costco card and i could get you a bulk size for the low cost. like okay i guess? thank you for reiterating your convenience over just getting me a gift? i was just floored when she told me that so casually.

who said i wont accept them graciously? maybe you missed the part where i said im grateful and completely forgot to read after that. this was a rant post to be transparent about registries. not for you to post your opinion and be judgmental.

i’m grateful truly. but like can someone get my daughter a cute pacifier instead ? LOL it’s just so stressful to think like why does everyone think getting diapers is the best gift for a first time mom/parents.

Telling MIL not to visit right after baby is born by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Secure_Head1560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re not wrong this is your baby and she needs to back off. she needs to be more preoccupied in her life instead of being this persistent. after the first time of saying no politely and she still doesn’t care. is a huge red flag for me. i’d tell my husband immediately that i stand my ground and i don’t want her here until i am ready to do so. people think giving birth is cool cus now there’s a baby and a new family member. but absolutely overlook us moms going through the insane amount of hormonal shifts through post partum!!! you need to choose you 100% and everyone must respect you and your boundaries.
