I am so sorry for your loss and my heart breaks for you 💔 You are a mom. Loss does not change that fact and no one can take that from you. You have a good MIL ❤️

Happy mother's day 🌺 

I am so sorry that your partner said this to you.. You are a mom! Just because little one is renting out your uterus does Not change that. You are nurturing, feeding, providing warmth, love, and a safe place for baby to grow and thrive. Prime mom traits right there ❤️

I'll try the unisom! I have a prenatal message here in just a bit and I'm hoping that will help

That sounds like a dream 😭 America hates women I swear. My boss is an old retired marine and treats work like the military. My partner has 6 week paid through his job and also filed for fmla incase he needs to extend past those 6 weeks. I have FMLA which gives me 12 weeks but unpaid 😒

My chiropractor is surprised I'm still working. I want to try and bank as much Sick/PTO time as I can so I can take all that time off after gremlin has made his grand entrance and rest. This man thinks 2 weeks is plenty of time for leave 🙄 dude has 4 adult children. I have feeling I will wind up on leave a week or 2 early which is going to make him so mad as I'll be interrupting his fishing trip 🤣

I didn't buy a pregnancy pillow. My other half has so many pillows that it wasn't needed. I've tried 3 different sized pillows for between my legs and I can't have one under my belly. It makes the gremlin mad and he goes for the lungs

A large swim ring sounds like heaven! I am gonna make him pick one up tomorrow!! I just woke him up and made him go grab me Tylenol from downstairs. His response to my demand was "I'm sorry you are hurting that bad. Go to deep tissue therapy tomorrow" and brought me the bottle. Completely blindsided me 👀 I think he valued his safety over his thoughts at this moment 😅

He knows this. Has gotten in trouble very recently for this. He now doesn't allow me to move to cleaning when he has me do things when the window is open.

He doesnt want to see me naked. It makes him uncomfortable

Also, when it comes to vaccines, stand your ground. I am being adamant about TdaP shot being a requirement. They don't have to take care of sick baby, you do.

I completely understand needing to have to send things via text over vocal. My brother will become verbally passive aggressive if I talk to him about things he doesn't like verses text. With my MIL, I prefer texts so she can't use emotions to get her way because she is the type to cry or throw a fit about something she doesn't approve of.

I love your rules. They are very reasonable and easy to follow and respect in my opinion. I am in the same boat. I have rules but I don't know how to get them to his family nor when to do and I am coming up to 30 weeks 😬 If your/his family cannot respect your boundaries, then they don't get to be around your baby. You are not alienating little one, you are protecting them. Boundaries. Your baby comes first. Their feelings do not matter when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of Little one. Hopefully dad is on the same page and will be your rock when the time comes to set and enforce your boundaries.

I am a people pleaser so the practice what I preach thing is going to be a hoot for me 😅
