The audacity of some people...

Apparently I should put my baby in nursery so he stops being afraid of strangers.

For context, I’m a SAHM right now because nursery is insanely expensive, and my May baby is too young for nursery, in my opinion. Where I grew up, parents can stay at home with their babies for up to three years if they want to.

My baby gets afraid when strangers get too close or try to touch him, which I hate btw. I always tell people not to touch him, or I’ll politely say he’s shy with new people.

And yet I’ve now been told twice in the past few days that nursery would “fix” this.

So I should spend a fortune, separate from my baby before we’re ready, just so he tolerates strangers touching him… wtf?!

Just needed to get this out.

I’m working now and my mum and partner have him when they’re off which works out my mums off when I work, I don’t plan on putting my baby in school until 3 and my reasoning is that he can’t talk yet he can’t tell them what he wants and I don’t feel comfortable putting him in until he can make full blown sentences, it’s no one else’s business wether you put him in now or not it’s entirely up to you xx

I think a lot of babies/children can go through this phase whether they are at nursery or not, sometimes it's just how they are!
We are financially better off with me back at work so my May baby is at nursery, but it's different for everyone.

They are soo wrong for that. My baby is in nursery and is still wary of strangers

@Amy that’s where i’m @ rn. It’s my choice, my baby, my life and not other “ people” smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🙄

Do you think people who put their children in nursery/with nanny full time Mon-Fri are selfish?

Most times parents who both work full time have to leave their children with someone else.

What do you think of this? Do you think it’s selfish for them to add another?

Positive or negative?

This come up within the time frame but now test has dried there’s nothing there. The other photos I have you can’t see it as well as in this one. My period is due tomorrow but I am currently EBF so my cycles all over the place.

GTT test / c section

I am currently 23+5 and I had a GTT test at 17weeks and that was negative however I now need another one and I’m so stressed that this one will be positive 😬

I have spoken to my consultant today and he has said that if it is positive I will be induced at 37 weeks so that will
Make my chances of a c section higher and I really do not want another one!!

Has anyone else had a GTT positive in a previous pregnancy but not in this one?
