Relationships During Pregnancy

Hello supermoms, first time mom-to-be here on my 2nd trimester. I know that I am reading alot how your relationships/friendships change once you become a mom.

But just recently, my bestfriend/future sis-in-law needed some time away from me but she didn’t really give me a heads up and just distanced herself. I had to confront her and she said that she realized alot of things through therapy, what works best for her in the moment and I asked her if one of those realizations was, are we not the best for her at the moment and she answered.. “honestly, yes.”

And our conversation just really went sideways, I just could’nt stop thinking about this for a month now…

Anybody had experience or experiencing this right now?

Yes. But I’m
On the other end of this. I’ve come to some realizations since having my kiddos about certain people in my life. Not how they are on the moment, but their track record. It’s interesting having these thoughts of clarity

Hi! I’ve definitely experienced this before! As sad as it is to say the way I look at it as, if someone is not supporting you in your time of need, especially during your pregnancy where you feel very vulnerable and alone, a lot of the times then you don’t need them in your life. I’ve had family and some of my closest friends distance themselves from me and I have distance myself from them and sometimes as we get older, we just grow apart. A lot of of the times with no explanation or an explanation just like you gave it makes it seem like you did something wrong. Hun I am here to tell you, you did absolutely nothing wrong. Sometimes people wanna blame other people for their own issues they have going on and sometimes people think it’s best to distance themselves from family or friends to fix whatever is going on within themselves. keep your head up and honestly think of this: you always learn who is really important in your life and who is not when you’re pregnant!

Private parts

Soo, my five year old foster kiddo has been with us for about three months now and he is constantly grabbing his penis to the point he makes it hard. I haven't had to deal with this ever, so I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I've tried telling him he can only touch it when he's alone, going to the bathroom, or washing it, but he hasn't stopped. I don't want to shame him over something that's natural, but I also don't want him grabbing himself in front of people. Help!

Which laundry detergent are you using?

Hi all, what laundry detergent are you using? I know fairy tends to be the go to for most, but I really don't like the smell of it.

Any suggestions on others?

Where are we changing our babies?

Hey y’all! My baby is 5 months. I used to change her on her dresser changing pad, now she’s a tornado and I had to bring out the halo bassinet to change her in for safety reasons. Eventually she will grow out of it, now I’m thinking… where are you guys change your baby? Cause the crib at some point will be lowered, bassinet too small, floor is very low, and a dresser seems to be unsafe(at least for now)

Drying milk supply

I’ve decided after 18 weeks of exclusively pumping that I am done. Switching to formula but obviously I know I can’t just stop pumping.

I’ve cut down to 3 pumps a day (plus an 8 min pump in the middle of the night because uncomfortable) and i’m producing the same, if not more than I was on 4/5 pumps a day. Currently producing around 900ml on 3/4 pumps.

How long will it take for my supply to stop? I just want it over with😢
