I’m considering blocking my own mother 🙃

Back in the beginning of February i decided to cut contact with my mum because of the lies she was spreading about me. I’ve made it clear i will not have any contact with her. And she said she doesn’t care anyway. Well the same woman who hasn’t even sent me an apology text has been constantly calling over the last 2 weeks even though I have been sending her to voicemail. She has been sending stuff like happy international women day love you, Happy Mother’s Day God bless you and has even commented on the pictures my husband posted for Mother’s Day of me, acting like everything is fine. My husband was like ‘ no deleting the comment’. She has a habit of doing it. When you call her out on her BS she’s more mad than you even though she did this and without any acknowledgement or apologies, starting calling and texting like nothing happened. I’m pregnant but she doesn’t know it and I can’t be deal with her crap anymore. I’m exhausted. I never thought in my life I would have to come to a point of having to block my own mum. Until I met my husband’s family, I thought all parents were like this to their child and then realised nope I just grew up in a toxic home and no one was very held accountable for their shitty behave, everyone just played happy family when in reality it was all toxic!

If you need a break from her, just do whatever makes you feel better. Nonetheless you'll have to face her someday but stress during your pregnancy is a no no. just keep your head up and everything will be fine eventually. We don't choose our family, but we have to control what type of parent WE can be, so at least you know better and will make sure you won't create a toxic environment for your kids 🙏🤍 Good luck in everything

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that! It’s so hard but sounds like it would be best to cut contact. I haven’t cut my own mother out (she’s seriously a saint and will do anything just to see her grandkids) but we cut out my MIL for similar reasons and it’s been so much better for our family. My kids don’t need to that toxic behavior in their lives and it’s honestly nicer on our marriage and family not having the extra stress

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
