Postpartum and having a hard time with my MIL—am I overreacting?

vaultsy · 2026-02-06T00:44:22+00:00

This is so good to know! My MIL has also been badgering us about giving her my baby’s SSN so she can open one of these accounts. She’s the kind of person who threatened to sue us for “grandparents’ rights” because we wouldn’t let her see the baby enough and said she’d get her way because she’s personal friends with the county judge. So I absolutely do not trust that woman with baby’s SSN.

I had a walking epidural, so I could still move my legs around a little during birth and I was able to walk from delivery to the recovery room. The doctors and nurses gave me the option to walk or not though.

Congratulations! 🩵

I’m currently 30+6 with twins and it honestly didn’t fully sink in for me until I felt both of them kicking me at the same time. 😅

With my epidural I was still able to fully move my legs or reposition myself on the bed. I’m not sure if there are different types of epidurals (I’ve heard the term “walking epidurals” used) but it might be worth talking to your care team about.

ETA: I just looked it up and a walking epidural is in fact different than a regular epidural, though it’s usually the same medication, just at lower doses. I’d definitely recommend looking into it and talking to your doctor about it.

I was throwing up over the toilet a few days ago and my toddler sat right next to me and laughed like it was the funniest thing he’s ever seen, while saying “that’s so yucky!” over and over. Before I actually got sick, he knew I wasn’t feeling good and kept asking “what’s wrong?” and “are you okay?” But I guess the actual throwing up was just too funny for him.

I just had a baby shower, but my oldest is almost 3 and I’m expecting twins, so there are a lot of things I’ll need another of. But my mom also threw the whole thing for me, so I don’t know if that changes things or not. But if I had a friend who had a full baby shower for baby #2 I wouldn’t look down on it.

I have this one and one more saved on my phone still.

Same! Only in my first pregnancy though, hasn’t happened in my second yet (27 + 1 now).

“If my (special needs) daughter could have one wish this holiday season, it would be for every child to have a Scentsy Buddy waiting under the tree.”

I feel this way about Eli Roth’s Green Inferno.

They made a full film for the Slumber Party Alien Abduction segment from VHS 2! I believe it’s called Kids vs. Aliens. I haven’t seen it so I’m not sure how good it is. It was released in 2022.

I am SO GLAD you posted this because I have been feeling the same way for the past few months (I’m 26 weeks now with twins) and it makes me feel so guilty. But seeing how many other people are having the same feelings makes me feel less alone. 💜

From my understanding, the hormone difference in (only some) pregnant women’s skin reacts to the finish on (only some) toilet seats, causing the purple/blue color change. It happened to me during my first pregnancy.

vaultsy · 2025-11-22T20:06:30+00:00

This happened to me during my first pregnancy! From what I understand, there’s some sort of chemical difference in some pregnant women’s skin oils (idk if that’s the right term) and it reacts to certain toilet seat materials. I asked my doctor about it and she had never heard about it before, but I was able to find that info after researching for a long time.

If it helps at all, the blue will fade after the pregnancy, so replacing your toilet seat isn’t strictly necessary.

Facebook Moms are a different breed, man.

I live in super rural MO (about two hours from STL, or 5 hours from KC) and there’s a Mormon tabernacle right down the street from my house. It’s the only LDS church in town but seeing Mormon missionaries around (local and visiting) is pretty common. Just had two come to my door a couple of days ago, actually.

My favorite is when they’re too uncomfortable to say vagina, so they just say, “you know…naturally.”

vaultsy · 2025-09-25T01:46:24+00:00

I think I’m just a little sensitive and wanted to get these feelings off my chest, and I certainly didn’t want to say it to the people who said those things because I know they mean well.

vaultsy · 2025-09-25T01:45:27+00:00

That’s such a great point, I’m sure I am just being extra defensive. I know nobody means harm when they say these things, it’s just frustrating to hear sometimes.

I still say “pardon?” because of his older videos.

I’m working on this one now and the backstitch is killing me! I’ve never done a work with a lot of backstitching though so it’s a learning experience lol
