Maid of Honour drama!!

So in October, before I found out I was pregnant I asked my then closest friend to be my maid of honour at my wedding(which was going to be in March). I then found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks later and ever since then she literally started AIRING me and downright stopped talking to me basically. She has a box full of a bunch of art materials of mine that I kept asking to get and she would say that she was busy and for me to get it another time. There’s a lot more about how she treated me when I was pregnant but it’s just too much to write up.

So I obviously no longer want this person at my wedding let alone being my maid of honour and have been wanting to ask to get the things I gave her when I asked her to be my maid of honour when I do get my box of things as it would be so much more hassle to try replace every single item that I handpicked and bought for my maid of honour and bridesmaids but have not been sure what to say and been so scared of how she will react or what she will say to me or even how to approach it.

Advice please!!!

My relationship with my MOH exploded 6 months before I got married, that was 8 years ago, she still came to the wedding and I haven’t spoken to her in about 6 years. If you are sure this is what you want then I would suggest doing it soon and making it very clear where you stand and why. Had I the time again, I would have not had her even come to the wedding with her gf because it was approx £150 per head and that’s a lot of money to waste on someone who said “thanks” when I wished her happy birthday for the next two years.

Telling someone you no longer want them to be your MOH is the nuclear option. Be prepared for fall out.

I have no advice on how to get your stuff back though…

Breastfeeding

Hi guys, It’s day 5 for us and I’m really struggling with this whole breastfeeding situation.

The latching, the constant having to get your breast out to feed, and feeling like my body is no longer really mine… I feel awful saying it, but right now I honestly just feel like a cow!

Then there’s the constant “be careful what you eat because you’re breastfeeding” comments from people, which are stressing me out even more. I’m already overthinking whether everything I eat is going to make baby gassy or uncomfortable.

I know we’re only 5 days in and everything is still so new, but does it get easier? Did anyone else feel like this at the beginning? And how much attention do you actually pay to what you eat while breastfeeding?

Bath time!

How often do I bath my 6 nearly 7 week old?
I’ve been bathing her everyday for the past couple of days as she’s been really fussy and it relaxes her, but I’m not sure I’m bathing her too often.

Bed time

My daughter is 15 months old & I started putting her in her own cot last night in her room as we have been co sleeping for a while. I got her to sleep in my bed then transferred her to her room, she lasted till around 1:30/2 but then wouldn’t settle again so had to get back in my bed. Has anyone got any tips to help her settle more?
I was thinking of changing her cot into a toddler bed.
Thankyou ! ❤️

Bag recommendations

My toddler is 3 n half so I don't need to bring so much stuff with me when we go out like when I had a huge change bag for milk bottles, nappies etc.

Anyone recommend a bag thats NOT a huge change bag lol

Mentally struggling

I am in the worst place mentally I’ve been in for a long time. Triggered by a really challenging day yesterday with my 14 month old. I’m in my first trimester and it’s been so much harder this time around and I’ve had sickness from the start. At the same time I returned to work, lo started nursery and he’s been having numerous different sleep issues and separation anxiety. My patience is much thinner and recently I’ve been struggling with rage. Yesterday was awful and I just feel like I wasn’t meant to be a mum and I’m no good for him. I’m convinced he hates me. That he’d be better off without me and would do better being raised by his dad instead. This has now led to a HUGE argument with my husband this morning. What doesn’t help is he had made comments today and previously about my parenting, how I am towards my baby and almost making out like my son is scared of me which only emphasises the negative thoughts. Ive done all the parenting from day one on my own while my husband works full time, I’ve got no other support. And I don’t feel like my husband supports me or looks out for me in the way I need and when I bring this up he makes excuses. Like he takes everything I do for granted without any signs of appreciation. Just dropped my baby off at nursery and now sat in my car sobbing trying to find it in me to get into work

Pacifiers? I didn’t want to start since I don’t want her to stay dependent on it.

I’ve managed to not used one so far but it’s getting hard not too since the four month sleep regression has started and my husband is against it…
