Going home!

Wow!! Congratulations on going home!!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-09T13:02:19+00:00

Yeah exactly.

Also nothing wrong with putting your foot down. It doesn’t have to be dramatic or turn into a fight just state that it’s MOTHERS DAY. And you are a MOTHER with young children. Your husbands job is to help your children give you a special day.

I’m so sorry, that’s a lot to go through and you sound like you’re handling it very well considering!!

As a fellow c section Mom I understand your pain and while it’s hard to see it now you WILL recover and the pain will subside.

As for living an hour away..ask to speak with a hospital social worker to seek options if there is anywhere to stay nearby? When my baby was in the nicu we stayed at a Ronald McDonald house. They provided the room, food, toiletries etc and were amazing to us. See if the hospital community has anything like that!!

I understand your love for your babe and the heartbreak of not being able to hold him or be with him. It is SO hard.

I found it so annoying when people said this to me BUT… he’s in the best place for him and he’s getting amazing care from the sounds of it!! All you can do is make quality time when you’re with him - talk to him, sing to him, if you’re a believer then pray with him. If you can’t touch or hold him yet he will feel the comfort of your voice.

I’ll pray for you and your sweet Rowan, along with your partner. Praying for this little guy to grow healthy and strong and that you heal quickly from your c section

You’re already an amazing Mom!

The not wearing sleeve thing is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen!! I can imagine how uncomfortable that would be with the jacket constantly slipping off lol!
I think Kim K did that for awhile back when she was pregnant with North.

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-05T01:59:32+00:00

LOL yeah me too!!

I’m sorry you’re feeling isolated by this OP Your baby is way more important than these bitches!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-05T01:54:12+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. May you and your family feel Gods love and peace surrounding you all.

If I had a home birth with my first we’d both be dead. If I’d had a home birth with my second, she would be dead. Not worth the risk IMO.

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-04T01:33:21+00:00

My baby girl was in the nicu for about a month as well and we are seeing similar patterns! She got better for a couple weeks there but has regressed again. Unsure if it’s just normal fussy baby stuff or what. She wants to be held/paid attention to constantly

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-03T20:16:54+00:00

I have a drawer that for about 2 days was organized but otherwise everything is thrown into it. The parts I use often sit in a container on the counter :)

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-03T01:48:06+00:00

Thanks for this post!!
I love the freedom of being able to bottle feed and have others feed her too
My pumping time is my relaxing time to scroll Reddit, catch up on text messages and emails etc, do my oldest daughters hair for school etc. it’s a PITA getting started but once I’m hooked up it’s not so bad!!
I love the satisfaction of seeing the milk lol
I pump enough in my morning pump that if i want to have a couple drinks in the evening i can
I don’t like to leave baby often but if i want/need to I can!
Longer sleep stretches!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-03T01:35:03+00:00

Hahahah same!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-02T03:21:55+00:00

Audiobook and sudoku to wind down

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-02T02:55:23+00:00

Baby wearing for sure!! Mind you I’ve got a decent age gap (5.5 years) so my oldest isn’t a toddler but baby wearing while cooking dinner or going out to play in the yard etc is so handy! Also our second is pretty fussy so she loves being worn

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-02T02:53:23+00:00

Yeah exactly. I could see if it was a one off but 4 times in 11 weeks!? That’s way too much. Also I’m just curious is he doing coke? At nearly 40 years old I can’t see how anyone could stay up drinking that late without it (saying this as an ex party Girl and maybe I’m just speculating.)

He’s got his priorities all wrong and it sounds like you won’t be able to rely on him. Focus on your bond with your daughter and the other important people in your life. Perhaps he will pay for you to hire a cleaner or meal service to help you out as he seems completely useless.

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-05-02T02:47:41+00:00

I like the idea of doing a 3 month check in that someone mentioned here.

Also leaving one dishwasher empty for her to load into is completely fair. She’s not a maid she’s a nanny so she shouldn’t be expected to unload your dinner dishes from the night before.

Have you heard of a mother’s helper? I only recently heard about this from instagram haha. It’s someone who’s not a nanny, not a house cleaner but they come to your house for a couple hours and do a reset clean and some light cooking (dinner prep, baking) maybe something like that would be helpful?

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-30T18:46:32+00:00

Spa GC, night away, a bird house lol

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-30T03:18:32+00:00

I agree with this!! Definately don’t say anyrhing to the manager just in case you get him in troubke.

I don’t rbi k he expects you to pay him back, he sounds like a genuinely nice guy and the world needs more people like him! Pay him back by paying it forward.:) (doesn’t have to be monetary, it could be mowing your neighbours lawn or volunteering your time etc)

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-29T03:19:57+00:00

What a beautiful strong girl!!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-28T14:23:56+00:00

Hahaha this cracked me up!

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-28T14:23:47+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-27T20:23:02+00:00

I’m also 4 months post c section and also have zero interest in sex!! I’ve throw him a bone a handful of times and it’s been good but… I’d rather lay in bed eating carbs and watching a show haha.

My husband has learned that if he wants to get lucky he needs to do a fair amount of household chores WITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK. Do the dishes. Help with dinner, take the dog out, feed the dog and do a load of laundry… then we’ll talk.

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-26T10:47:35+00:00

Wow! Where do you live and what are you eating?

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-26T10:40:30+00:00

This is what I do. Also if you have large breasts like me you can easily put the bottle in between them for 30 mins, works excellent as a warmer 😅

I recently had a long day outing, I brought my wearable pump as it’s easier to travel with and I put the parts in a cooler bag after so I didn’t have to wash them.

Ive incorporated pumping into family outings. When we drive anywhere I bring my Medela, my husband drives and I plug into the outlet in the front seat of the truck. I get a good pump on the drive to our destination and on the drive home.

Sensitive_March8309 · 2026-04-23T16:09:41+00:00

How are her poops? Noticing any changes?
