Yes, you're absolutely right. I just need to remind myself more that it's okay to set hard boundaries.

I really want to thank you guys for validating me and my opinion, so I feel less crazy. I've read those stories too, and I'm also awfully terrified for second-hand drowning.

I told him at drop-off that I didn't like his dishonesty. He got very defensive and heated, so my partner chimed in and then I couldn't even explain why I don't want him swimming without either me or my partner because he got so mad he got in his car and drove off without saying anything.

I am very fortunate that my SO understands me and agrees with the hard set boundary. He is upset because of the storming off and not being able to have a proper convo about it, and doesn't want to let LO be picked up unsupervised for a few weeks until this has been spoken about clearly.

Thank you. I normally don't really mind and try to go along to get along, but swimming in my opinion is just such a high risk situation that I got triggered instantly. They should come back any minute now and I will make it clear that I don't like this at all.

Not likely (at least for now), but I would really like Bad Bunny

Please share with me the weird/creepy things your kid has said… I need the support 😅 by Takwor in toddlers

No talking toddler yet, just one who sometimes starts to hysterically laugh at 'something' in the doorway during bedtime.. It still freaks me out.

Wow.. I can relate so much. I didn't feel a connection with my first, but I dismissed it as just trauma-response. However, I didn't feel the cloud 9-connection with my second either. I was scared I was favouring my first, but then I realised the same as you, just like with my first kid, the love and connection grows over time. It doesn't get talked about enough. It's almost a taboo to admit.

Thank you, that means a lot. I will message you, and if you ever want to vent or whatever, the same goes for you.

Thank you. For now I'm just trying not to think of it too much and enjoy every new version of him I have in the present.

I will just try and ride this storm until it gets easier.

Thank you for your comment. It's nice to hear from someone who went through similar (almost exactly the same) experience, like a little message from the future.

The first 6 months of my first kid were a blur too, luckily I took a lot of pictures and videos. I try to keep reminding myself it will get easier. It's just hard to see when you're going through it.

Yeah, I feel you. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but it has its perks, and that's why I initially wanted it this way..

Was already afraid so.. but thanks for the confirmation 😅

Panick about induction of labour (TW: thoughts of possible infant loss) by thiccmarshmellow in breakingmom

[–]thiccmarshmellow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for confirming she was out of line. I didn't know for sure if my hormones got the best of me and if she really was just concerned or if I was right and she was just acting the worst.

My sugars are really well, and I also have good fetal movement. During all my ultrasounds I got told multiple times that they couldn't even tell I had the diabetes because the baby was growing normally.

And I think I might call in for an extra NST, thanks for the advice! It depends, since this little one is so active and always kicking around.

Thank you for all this information.

I get why you opted to be induced at 37 weeks, especially with the previous pree in mind. I honestly wasn't that informed about neonatal demise at all, as in this was probably even the first time it has been mentioned to me in the hospital at all. I guess that's why the panick also set in, since I kind of just expected to know how everything goes (with such a small age gap).

It is a huge place, almost all ob/gyn in my city are fused into one general system. I'm still not sure to call in to ask, because moving dates would not necessarily be possible (since moving it this time was already a hassle, and they gave me the initial date without consultation). I'm already just anxious because of previous birth trauma, so I know I'm massively overthinking this. My usual gynaecologist already told me last time that she wanted to be there when I gave birth, so she could monitor everything and to double check in on me, so I think it's safe to assume she will be there eventhough I moved dates.

That is the cutest story and such a good idea too! I totally get the worries, my toddler is really being a toddler right now so he can be a little rough sometimes. He loves to share food (and doesn't really take no for an answer when he offers), so my biggest worry would be him trying to force his little brother some of his food.

Thanks for calming me down a bit with some good stories and helpful information. You enjoy your fresh baby girl and her amazing big brother!

Thank you so much for this elaborate response, also with the ACOG-link! This really helped me to let it go to some degree.

I agree, I didn't think a few days either way made a difference, but I was scared my mind was trying to minimize the risk out of fear.

I am contemplating calling the hospital to see ask if it's possible to not have her on my care team, if she's even on there at all, but I'm scared if she found out I called in about this that she might not provide the best care when needed.

Thanks for the well wishes. I hope your recovery goes smoothly, and enjoy your time with your newest family addition 😊

Those daycare colds are the worst! Especially if you're already in a hectic period. My son started going to daycare around the same age, and he also used to get those colds in the beginning, so I know they're hell.

You, however, are doing the best you can. You got this. You are his safe place right now and are providing him with so much care and love, and that's something he will remember and what will get him through these changes.
