In shock after labour

I previously shared that I was overdue and my husband’s sisters had requested to know all the detail’s of my labour, which we agreed he would simply say it was fine.

I gave birth and I still haven’t processed how traumatic it was. It ended in an emergency c section under general anaesthesia due to an infection. Being fully dilated for hours.

In a family group chat; they asked him “how was the whole ordeal?”, I haven’t read his response but he casually mentioned that he told them I had a c section.

Even just that detail alone has filled me up with rage and disgust toward him. I’m so deeply hurt that he even shared something as simple as that.

I haven’t processed it at all and it only happened today I’m just in shock and traumatised by the experience.

There should be boundaries not everything is shared. I warned my partner not to over share because not all details should be talked about there are things that should stay
Between us. If I was the one I would feel exactly the same

Weaning

Want to start weaning but I’m confused as I keep seeing things saying baby should be able to sit up on their own - mine definitely can’t sit on their own on the floor - he would flop to the side and needs hands to help hold him up. But he is ok in the high chair?

Those who have started weaning their baby with food already , can your baby sit on the floor on their own? Or no but you still have introduced foods?

Kids birthday party on Halloween day

If Halloween falls on a Saturday, would you let your child attend a classmate’s birthday party during the afternoon?

It’ll be a costume/halloween themed party, with lunch provided, parents and siblings are welcome, and it will end in time for people to go home and get ready for their evening plans.

14 month tantrums everyone 2 mins anyone else?

My 14 month old is having tantrums over everything! And is constantly hitting in frustration. Is anyone else doing the same? Actually finding it unenjoyable being a mum at the moment and bed time is also awful always taking so long! Feel so guilty but just feeling like I need a break!

Birthday parties

So I’m absolutely devastated to be saying this but I’m currently planning my little boys second birthday party (how is my newborn turning 2 in a few months 😭) and I’m not sure when to send out the invites, I’m planning on inviting kids from his nursery now that he’s actually making friends but i don’t want to send them too early and the parents forget or send them too late and everyone already has plans, when would be the best time? x
