For those of yall who smoked during pregnancy and are in Texas. Who all babies were drug tested at birth?

I hear it’s only on reasoning of suspicion or drug history use. What was yalls experience on this?

Mine was. I didn't see an OB until 21wks and they requested a drug test at the hospital when I went to get induced because of that. I refused the test and they tested the umbilical cord blood which unfortunately goes back 20wks. His urine tested negative cause I had stopped smoking but the umbilical cord blood was positive and that caught us a little open and shut cps case.

I’m sorry but this is a train I can never be cool with. Are we not quitting while pregnant?

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

I am a single mom who is breastfeeding. When I’m in public, yeah I cover up because that’s my personal preference. But when I am at home alone, I am just fully top exposed. No care in the world.

Well my soon to be ex husband came waltzing in unannounced. No heads up or nothing. (No he don’t live there anymore) as soon as he walks in, he sees me topless breastfeeding our new born son. As soon as he sees, he says, “wtf is wrong with you? I don’t wanna see that shit. Cover up!” I had no idea he was coming over. Otherwise I would’ve covered up. But yet again, it’s my house. You didn’t tell me you were coming through. So if you don’t like what you see, there’s the door. Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

Do you think incognito posts making assumptions or comments about breastfeeding are just trying to take digs at breastfeeding Mums?

Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished

I’m grieving the mother-in-law I wish I had

Anyone with me?

I’m sad because I’m mourning the person I wish she was and wished we had a relationship.

We are no contact for the second and final time. I can’t help but think she’s missing out on her son and our first baby (never met our baby and don’t even know if she knows about her).

I just wished she was different and it could all be happy.
