setting boundaries with family/friends

Hi! Could someone give me advice on how to set firm rules with family&friends, and how to tell them what not to do when my Baby is here? I’m a very shy person and tend to just let things happen, but i understand the severity’s of people kissing my baby and not washing their hands when holding. Could someone just please advise me on maybe how you set down these rules for your families and how they took it. I don’t want to offend anyone.

Hey lovely I was the same. Before people came round I just sent a message saying something along the lines of “as advised by our NCT courses and midwives, please wash your hands before holding little one and at the moment she can only have kisses from mummy and daddy…thank you so much for your understanding, there’s just so much going round” everyone was really respectful and took it really well xoxox

Thats a good idea. Thankyou x

You’re welcome, it’s always easier to say it’s from advice of nhs etc. people understand that as first time parents with a new baby you will be a little cautious too and rightly so. All the best xx

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
