Dating while pregnant?

What are your thoughts on dating while pregnant? I’m a first time mom, 28 weeks pregnant. I get asked to go on dates and guys wanting to be with me. I get lonely, it’s been a WHILE but I also just want to do what’s best for my daughter in my tummy. Also meeting someone for the first time with a big ol bump is just something I’ve never done haha. I know I’ll eventually start dating again but when and how and honestly during this day and age of Covid it’s kinda hard to meet people unless I joined tinder or hinge which I’m trying to avoid. Anyone relate?

Also I’m 25 not sure if that matters or not

Doesn't hurt to date. In the end you can find someone that truly cares for you and will be there for you and your daughter. Just need to be careful and make sure they know your child always comes first.

As long as you’re upfront and honest about being pregnant or your intentions, you do you mama 💜.

I tried it’s hard cause most guys freak out but I’m gonna keep trying cause I know I’ll find one guy eventually

I didn’t actually date while pregnant but I had an account on a dating site and I let them know I was pregnant it was my picture so guys knew right away. I ended up meeting a guy who became my friends with benefits and I’m now dating. You’ll be surprised there are a ton of men out there that won’t run because you are pregnant.

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Normal breathing for Newborn?

Is this normal? I’m FTM very worried. Just need reassurance or advice.

Dummies

What’s everyone’s views on dummies? Are you planning to use them and if so at what age ? I am breastfeeding and my midwife said to avoid them as it might effect feeding but baby is feeding really well now and he has now found his thumb to suck for comfort ! I would prefer him to use a sterilised dummy than his hands that might carry germs but he is only 3.5 weeks not sure if it’s too early ?

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!
