50/50 Co parenting a newborn
Is it a good idea for a baby to move home every 3/4 days to co parent?
I want to breast feed which I wouldn’t be able to if we do 50/50 and I feel that’s unfair to both me and the baby I’m pregnant with.
Is it ever a good idea to 50/50 share a newborn baby? Am I wrong to say no?
I won’t get into baby daddy situation but he’s awful. Regardless of that is it ever a good idea for a newborn to bounce between homes so often? I would be ok with the idea from when the baby is 12 months but immediately after birth I think is a crazy ask from the dad.

Newborns need mum more than anything. Bonding , emotional regulating, feeding etc. legally any babies under 18 months from what I’ve heard specially if breastfeeding stays with mum. Dad can visit where it’s suitable for baby and mum. No over night stays till baby is at least 2. That’s what I have heard from legal people. Even if dad is great , baby needs mum more at that stage and stability is ver important. Routine etc.
Every 3 to 4 days is a lot for a child. It is not good for a baby. I would not do it.
The baby news mum more than the dad when it’s first born. Keep them with you.

Is my daughters name to unique?
I had my daughter a 8 months ago, I told my husband that always had a baby girl named picked out since I was about 13 years old. And he was OK with it. He just changed the spelling which I’m not a huge fan but I still love her name.
Her first name is Sunni middle name Ella Rae. I don’t really love the Ella part or how Sunni is spelled I think it should be spelled as Sunnie so it makes more sense. A few people have commented on it, aka my mother-in-law to be specific. Did I choose a real name for my daughter?

Should I be worried?
I got into a car accident two days ago. I got abdominal pain couple hours after, so I went to the hospital, they checked me over and said everything seemed fine. I’ve had no bleeding and no pain since. However I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore. I’m 12 weeks and have another scan booked in for tomorrow. Am I over thinking this or can this be normal for how far along I am now ??!

Induction
Hey, I am being induced closer to my due date and the consultant has mentioned using the balloon for induction. I had a pessary when induced with my second.
Anyone had both methods and can tell me how different those labours were or wasn’t? 🩷

Anyone else feel guilty for resting?
I’m 33 weeks tomorrow and I feel bad that some days I just want to be left alone and veg on the sofa! Does anyone else feel the same way? My boyfriend is super active and never sits down. When he makes a joke that I’m sitting around, I just get emotional about it. I just cry! 😅 And then I feel stupid for crying! It’s like a continuous cycle. But when I am on my feet all day, I get horrid pelvic pain, leg and bum pain. I just try to make myself move! I’m just finding it difficult to be kind to myself. Some days are worse than others I suppose.
