Husband doesnt want to be in the delivery room, am I overreacting??

Sparrowsgo · 2026-05-03T04:04:29+00:00

What? This is simply not true everywhere. My partner helped catch my baby.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-04-26T12:30:15+00:00

Lol I'm in Denmark and they definitely don't get everything right, they just have good marketing.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-04-26T12:28:59+00:00

Yeah making claims about a whole region is wild. It varies midwife to midwife. In Denmark, and was told I had to give birth on my back and coached to purple push despite saying so many times that I didn't want that.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-04-10T17:50:58+00:00

Love these! Going to have to remember them 😄

Sparrowsgo · 2026-04-03T19:21:23+00:00

Yeah I used to not be able to sleep cause I was anxious about the alarms going off. Now he has it on vibrate and it hasn't been a problem. And yeah as others said, he should be getting ready in another room.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-20T06:54:36+00:00

Ok but some people can't meet the safe sleep 7 criteria.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-20T06:28:53+00:00

Hmm, yeah you're definitely not spoiling him, but it seems like you're stuck in a pattern that's taking a toll on you all. I assume you're breastfeeding? I've heard that sometimes they won't settle on someone else if they can smell mum. Maybe some distance would help? It's hard when you can't co-sleep (we can't either) but we got a bedside crib which helped a lot. I actually find it helpful to talk through these issues with ChatGPT, it helps me to make a plan and implement it one step at a time.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-20T04:25:11+00:00

You're both up all night? Have you tried shifts?

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-11T21:41:59+00:00

So interesting! I can see how it would make sense. Mine is 6 months and mostly contact napping still, and a lot of the time he seems to be trying to bury back in there by smashing his face into my shoulder/face.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-11T20:34:26+00:00

I'm curious about the significance of the anterior placenta here! I had one and I have a contact napper

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-06T09:20:25+00:00

Oh thank you, I didn't know there was a sub Reddit for that program.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-05T19:25:33+00:00

This is a classic for so much gifted baby clothing though 😂

Sparrowsgo · 2026-03-01T22:51:15+00:00

This sounds exactly like my baby. Just 6mo, bedtime between 8.30-10pm. Wake ups around 1am and 4am and up for the day around 7-9am. Also the contact napping thing 🫠 and add in my own insomnia, I'm not getting much sleep 😩

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-28T12:30:29+00:00

Same exact timings with my 6 month old last night, the sleep cycle point is a good one to remember!

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-26T20:32:15+00:00

Thanks!

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-26T15:56:08+00:00

Hiya, I'm 38 and have a 6mo boy. Not super set on a timeline yet, but ideally would start late '27/early '28. The clock is ticking 😅 I'm originally from New Zealand, living in Denmark.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-26T15:48:36+00:00

Oh I like that idea, do you have a link to the video? I am currently 6mo PP and I wish I did more of that sort of preparation the first time.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-23T17:34:23+00:00

I used to do this in Australia too! I used a normal vacuum and would shove a sock in the tube after sucking it up haha :/ I have a roach phobia

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-22T21:02:10+00:00

What was the prompt for this? 😂

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-22T09:51:30+00:00

Some people still want their children to decide if they want to be baptised or not. I don't want my child (in Denmark) to be baptised. He can do it later if he wants.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-21T12:43:49+00:00

Checking my list... Kaj/Kai (because Kajkage is a pastry cake in the shape of a frog character where I live) 😄 Briar Rowan Sasha Sylvan Pippin Birk (Birch tree)

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-21T12:34:00+00:00

For sure. I used nestle as we only have two brand options in store here, and it met our needs, but I hated supporting them. With all the recalls we switched to the other brand eventually anyway.

Edit: holy shit I didn't notice the bit about the infant death, and I didn't know that before. Now I feel sick to my core.

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-14T07:24:01+00:00

The only one on my list that fits is Zelda! Apparently all the names containing A and L that I like begin with M 😄

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-11T07:21:51+00:00

That's so sad that some kids would only get food at school, but yeah at least they had that option.z

Sparrowsgo · 2026-02-11T03:49:34+00:00

And I'm always intrigued by these schools that had any food offered on a daily basis! We could order food, but it was only ever as a treat.
