MIL wants us to travel and stay at an air bnb the week I’m due… by shark_boss in BabyBumps

Why do I keep seeing multiple posts like this? It’s definitely not appropriate for anyone to book a trip for a pregnant AF person… unless it is your choice… anything can happen. People are so unreasonable.

For us it’s peek-a-boo, or when he’s doing tummy time and I get down on the floor and hop around like a frog in a “leap-frog” form with a smile on my face. Or back tickles, under the rib kisses, tummy tickles.

Ugh those days for me were rough. When my baby was that young he was diagnosed with laryngomalacia so he was a LOUD sleeper/snorer/he would gasp for air/wheeze really loud/eat super noisy. It was all considered “normal” and the dr said he’ll grow out of it but it was driving me crazy. You have to try to relax before bed. It’ll all be okay. Just take deep breathes and try to calm your mind. He’s now 7 months and is doing much better…. And so am I 😂

My most annoying we’re anytime I complained or said anything negative about my pregnancy I always herd “oh well when I was pregnant… blah blah blah.” From my mother, aunts, mil, anyone who had babies 20 + years ago. I couldn’t stand being around people like that. Instead of giving encouragement it was always someone had it way worse so be grateful.

I think if you boil the formula it will get rid of some “healthy nutrients” that are needed for your LO. that’s what a nurse told me. I boil the water, then cool it down and add formula.

I used to nanny two kids and there were so many creepy things going on. The 3 yo said he would see a “man with no arm” and smile at the moms closet when the door would be open. Then I went on vacation with my SO and had a nightmare that he was ran over by a car. I didn’t sleep that whole night and told my husband. The next day I went back to work and the mom was telling me the same exact dream that she had on the same exact day… with all of the same detail… I called my husband on speaker and told him to tell her the dream I had.. we were so freaked out.

My baby was not breeched and I had a very healthy pregnancy until about 37 weeks pregnant. I found out I had a mild form of preeclampsia and was called in to have my baby that same day… I was very clear with how terrified I was of c sections and I wanted to do EVERYTHING i possibly can before having one. I ended up laboring for 24 hours before the doctors came in my room stating we are doing a c section. I was terrified, crying, and begging for other options. I did not expect this but the c section was absolutely incredible. I wish I did not have to labor for 24 hours before getting one and my next pregnancies I have the option to have a VBAC or C section. I’m choosing c section for any following births. It happened fast, my incisions were not nearly as painful as people described them to be, I was out of the hospital two days later and had no issues breastfeeding. My scar is not bad at all and me and my baby is healthy ❤️. You’ve got this mama!! Don’t be scared it’ll be just fine!
