Nervous leaving baby with daddy

Anyone get nervous when leaving their baby with their dad? I get nervous because I can soothe the baby better than he can when baby crys

Membrane sweep

If you had a membrane sweep done did it work? If so how long did it take and how effaced, dilated and your station when you had it done?

Boundaries on providing labour updates

I’m overdue and due to baby movements and dropping from 56th to 28th percentile an induction has been advised, which is opposite to what I envisioned. The last week for me has been stressful with hospital monitoring and scans.

The issue is my husband’s sisters have requested for him to give an update on everything, I’m not close to them.

During their labours (even until this day), they explicitly asked him to not share anything with me. To the extent of asking him to not tell me one of their babies was born until weeks later. I understood then and I understand now, neither was I offended by their choices.

Firstly, I want my labour/induction experience to be private and avoid people calling and texting for updates. I don’t think it’s necessary to know what I’m experiencing or receive live updates unless you are my parent, one of my birthing partners or particularly close. All my friends haven’t even asked for regular updates, just a “let me know you’re ok when you’re ready.”

Secondly, something about his sisters wanting updates is particularly triggering for me now.

Just needed to get this off my chest but some of their actions/requests around labour and postpartum are beginning to irritate me.

Gwyneth?

We love the name Gwyneth, but do not like Gwyneth Paltrow. If we name our daughter Gwyneth do you think people will think we like Gwyneth Paltrow? Is the association too strong? I feel like she isn't famous enough for it to really matter, but Gwyneth Paltrow is probably the only "Gwyneth" that most people know.
