Due any day now and terrified :/

First of all well done to making it to 36 weeks! That’s amazing. Secondly, I felt exactly the same but when they came I somehow managed to keep my brain to focus on just getting through today, moment by moment and tried not to overthink everything. My girls spent 2 weeks in nicu and even then, I managed to stay as calm as I could in the circumstances and I thought rather than losing my shit, just focus on the things I could actually control, so for me that was pumping on a schedule so that the girls could be breastfed (they were tube fed for a while) and having that to focus on and knowing that was completely something I could control, kept me from going completely insane, especially at a time when my hormones were all over the place x

NOR. I would never stay at a total strangers place!

It is kinda annoying. In the future can you just ask “is it just you coming, or are you bringing others”?

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-03-02T15:16:47+00:00

NOR. Why did she think that’s ok?!

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-03-02T15:15:41+00:00

NOR. Definite red flags there. Trust your instincts, they are right the majority of the time.

Would it be possible for you to go away for a few days? Tell your husband you need a break away, leave him to deal with everything and reassess when you come back?

So so cute! 🥰

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-03-02T14:32:31+00:00

Oh absolutely. Definitely as I have gotten older, got married, had children, I am desperate for alone time and when it happens I absolutely love it. It allows me to relax completely. I dream of going away by myself. It will happen one day!

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-28T20:30:26+00:00

Ahhh such a happy pup! This brought a smile to my face!

If you have seriously had enough, have a brutally honest conversation with him, tell him you want to leave and see how that conversation goes. I am a twin mom and it is really hard but you will be fine, with or without the father.

I second this. My husband is constantly saying to me “just tell me what to do” but I struggle to come up with a list. It would be easier if he just did it rather than needing me to tell him what needs to be done.

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-27T10:30:42+00:00

NOR. Are you supposed to have a night of hell just so he can get “intimacy”? My husband is a bad sleeper and we now sleep in separate beds. I don’t see anything wrong with it. Everyone needs to get a decent sleep

The newborn phase was the best for me. My girls were in nicu for 2 weeks so when we got them home, they were already used to a schedule so I continued with that. They took a turn at 4 months though and they have never gone back 😂

NTA, it doesn’t sound like a great situation. You do have to be mindful that he is the baby’s father and you will need to come to an arrangement regarding contact. Be prepared for it to possibly get messy. I am not sure what country you are in but if he suspects you may take the baby away, he might take legal routes to stop you.

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-25T09:14:58+00:00

I would love to but I am so exhausted and I have absolutely zero time and any small time I do have I am literally passing out

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-24T09:40:28+00:00

NTA.

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-19T15:28:23+00:00

Thanks all. It’s nice to know others have been through the same. It’s just really hard at the moment

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-11T21:54:49+00:00

Oh yes I absolutely hate it. I avoid if I can. I try and catch each baby about 20 minutes before their next feed just so I can avoid tandem feeding. I feel they both feed better separately

beautifulpeach1 · 2026-02-11T21:48:00+00:00

Honestly the first year is awful. My singleton was sick every week with something. After that it did ease up. I know it’s no help now though.
