First Mother’s Day disagreement

So, my boyfriend and I are planning to go out of town for his sisters prom on Saturday and Mother’s Day is on Sunday. When I mentioned that Mother’s Day is on Sunday he sis fit was great because then he could take us all out for a special day. I’m trying not to be unappreciative but I was really wanting to do something personal just me him and our daughter for my first Mother’s Day celebration:/ and he’s having a hard time seeing where I’m coming from.
Its nit only because it’s not really my family, I wouldn’t want a group celebration with my mom and sisters either. It’s simply that I wanted it to be special for my first Mother’s Day and again, something more personal.

Might end up doing something by myself and my daughter. I’m just kind of feeling lost with how to feel. I’m trying to be ok with just doing something with everyone but it’s not what I would ever choose for myself.

being selfish on your FIRST mothers day is not a problem at all.. i definitely didnt want my first mothers day celebration to be with a bunch of people.

while you may not get a full day away, at least compromise on breakfast alone and you all can go out for dinner or something to spend time with his family.

You can always celebrate Mother’s Day on another day as well! There will be less people if you go out on another day. It’s my first too and my husband works all day (huge day for the restaurant industry) so we are going out the week after 😄 be “selfish” though, you just did something so amazing and should be appreciated for it

Anyone else’s baby super big??

He’s so tall I’m almost scared bc is that normal 😭 like he’s bigger than every baby I’ve seen that’s older than him, I’m about 5’8-5’9
He’s 30inches maybe more? And about 21lbs he’s almost too long for 12mo clothes
He’s longer than my torso, he sits up all by himself but doesn’t want to roll over yet.
(He was born with club feet that’s why he has boots and bar (: )
He was born Nov 17th 2025

Shortness of breath and heart rate when lying down

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can give me advice - since 22 weeks (I am now 23) I’m really struggling to sleep and find when I lie down I feel a shortness of breathe and can physically feel my heart pounding, even when on my left hand side.

It eases up a little once I remove the elevation from my head but still doesn’t feel super comfortable.

I’m going to see the midwife as soon as I can after bank holiday, but has anyone experienced this?

Thank you!

Boy name opinions!

We really love the name Odin for a boy but my family are super against it because it’s the name of a Viking God. What’s your opinion?!

No question or anything just a rant 😂. Love it when you wake up in the night with violent diarrhea and sickness at 12 days postpartum with a C section, but still have to battle through the night feeds and general newborn life... throw in a wild 3 year old for good measure and I am feeling very sorry for myself this morning 😂
