Incognito Only! 👻

Hi ladies! I am a FTM and I’m currently in the trenches of my third semester. My partner and I are looking for leases currently, and he offered that I move into a new space with his family (mom, brother sister) so that they can be present during my postpartum phase. I’m not particularly close with them and I’m just wondering if any mommies have any advices or thoughts!

Feeling very anxious over my induction on Thursday. I’m so ready to meet this little guy, but now I’m feeling very anxious and just terrified that something is going to go wrong. I’ve had two unmedicated births, they both went very quick, but this one is an introduction, due to multiple factors, doctor and I opted for an induction for the safety of me and baby. One of those factors is GBS, which I’ve never had before, so I just have a lot of anxiety about these antibiotics, not necessarily the antibiotic itself, but the fact that I’ll be hooked up and unable to do a lot of the techniques and things I’m used to during labor. And plus since my labors have been really quick, I’m also just really worried that baby will not get the full dose and we will have to stay there for a long time, and that they might separate us. My hospital apparently does not like to keep patient longer than necessary, so i’m worried they might want to keep baby, but not me. Is that something that has happened or can happen? Please share your GBS stories, just need some reassurance. I know this is the right move, but I’ve never given birth in a hospital before, and having to be on those Pitocin and antibiotics is just making me really anxious.

Tied between these options

My husband says since my MIL and my brithday are literally the same week we could all go to a restaurant together. I’m I worng for just not being interested in that at all sigh

When you and your partner get into an argument do they lock themselves in the room and make you take care of kids and responsibilities alone for the day while they sleep? I’m 8 months pregnant with a 19 month old and every time me and my husband get into a bad argument he checks out and leaves me alone & we have a 80 pound dog who is not safe for me to talk at this point he pulls me so hard. I feel so sad.
