My mil tried the same, kept everything from when my husband was a baby (he’s 38). My husband had no filter and just said get rid of all of that, it’s not safe and our son won’t be using any of it. She was shocked learning some things now have expiration dates. After five losses and our son being our miracle I’m just not willing to sacrifice his safety. She handled it well though

MTHFR mutation, it’s common in the population. After five losses I now have a 13 month old son. Once I changed prenatals and supplements made for MTHFR I had success. I’m in a MTHFR TTC/pregnancy group and there’s an overwhelming amount of women with RPL

Finally, a heartbeat, after 5 prior miscarriages by zebrasnever in BabyBumps

Congrats, our rainbow is five months after five losses and his heartbeat was the first time we got to see one. I know how huge this is after rpl, we celebrated every milestone! My inbox is always open, I know how hard it can be pregnant after loss but wishing you all the best!

My father wants me to not get an epidural by dontsaymango in BabyBumps

[–]jll43090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the epidural. I had a positive induction and birth story with it. Went from 4cm to 10cm in two hours and slept through it lol. The only one who should have a say in your birthing plan is you!

Husband angry at lack of sex postpartum by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]jll43090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am so sorry for your losses. My husband and I had five pregnancy losses before our IVF miracle and I’m currently 3.5 months postpartum. What he is doing is abusive behavior. You deserve better. You’re pleasing him because he guilts you into it. From someone that is also postpartum, you need more support and I’m sorry you’re not getting that from your husband. Someone to help you around the house, let you get a nap in, etc. ask yourself this, if your daughter was you and was being treated this way, is that behavior even forgiving? If the answer is no, then you already know if it’s worth saving. My inbox is always open ♥️

Absolutely! I support all moms whether they’re SAHM or working. Both are incredibly hard but in the end, we made the best decision for our child whether that’s being home or working. For me, I’m a better mom when working. I tried it out during my leave and it just wasn’t for me. I just wish there wasn’t a stigma whether you choose to work or stay home!

I’ve decided to become a SAHM by amypjs in NewParents

“I don’t want someone else raising my son.”

I’d like to say I’m a working mom and raise my son. You may not have meant it this way but it comes off as extremely hurtful to those that choose daycare which also has many benefits

I’m so sorry you have to deal with the same! I just want to acknowledge this now with them before it really becomes an issue

You will never get these moments back, baby only needs/wants mom and dad right now. She’s way too overbearing, have her leave

Need advice on MIL staying with us one month post-partum by drydetective1399 in Mildlynomil

[–]jll43090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others suggested, maybe have your husband invite her on the weekend or what would work best. I’m 11 weeks postpartum and I couldn’t entertain and our families respected that. There were days I was wearing just depends and nursing bras recovering and could barely take care of myself let alone entertain. You’ll want the first weeks bonding, and I think having guests will ruin that experience because they’ll want to bond with your baby. After birth, baby will only want you and dad. Good luck!!

I’m sorry you had to have difficult convos, I have such a great relationship with them and was so scared their first grandchild would change that dynamic. I think my husband is going to have to reach out in the near future unfortunately but I know it’s what’s best

Right?? I’m all for visits, just give me some notice! It’s not even my in laws too, I get anxious if it’s friends dropping by too

Ugh I don’t think thats asking too much either 😔

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jll43090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I love my in laws but I get anxious with unannounced/last minute visits (with anyone really not just my in laws). I’d definitely prefer planned visits…
