Hey! New here. 😃 Thank you so much for this podcast! ❤ I have 12 weeks to go until my due date in December, and the closer it gets the more I literally just want to be alone with my husband and my baby. My mom will be at the labor but she is so supportive and already knows that I literally just want to HOLD MY BABY. I don’t want to just hand it off to 50 different family members as soon as they’re born! I kept thinking I was crazy because I want a full month alone to hold them and keep them to myself - my in laws think I’m a crazy lady. This podcast helped a lot! ❤
29:28 - Just curious if you have any thoughts on the TDAP vaccine? I’m 38 weeks pregnant and opted out of the TDAP awhile ago due to an anaphylactic reaction to the Covid vaccine (which I was forced to get or I’d lose my job. Still regret it). The docs have a way of making me second-guess this decision. Just want to know if there’s any other moms who didn’t get it and their baby is okay? 😅
New subscriber and at 29 weeks pregnant, I’ve been really starting to think about these labor and delivery/postpartum boundaries. My husband’s family can be very pushy (easily offended) and it makes me nervous to tell them that I want one to two weeks of time with just my son and husband bonding together as we enter this new phase of life. It’s already been a tough pregnancy, we are remodeling our house in time for the baby’s arrival, so it’s not been an easy transition into getting ready, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and all I want is to have a peaceful time where nobody bothers us while we live blissfully just the 3 of us getting to know one another. ❤ Thankfully, my husband has been really supportive throughout the whole thing and is good with whatever I’m comfortable with and will tell his family to respect our boundaries we set together. Thank you for sharing your experiences! It was very helpful to hear what you did with your kids and be able to be so candid about your thoughts. Definitely will be binge listening to more of your content!!! ❤
This is so helpful, I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and I wish I didn't tell my in laws and my husband's sisters. They have been a nightmare to talk to, they share the worst of pregnancy , they shared my pregnancy to other people, and I'm starting to dislike them 😭😔
I love this conversation. I loved your graphic. I'm 9 weeks pregnant now and told my Mom that she will not be with me during labor and delivery. And I told her it might be a week before I welcome guests. Wow, was that hard to me to share and I know it was hard for her to hear but now it's out there. I'm using your graphic as inspo for mine that I will share with family and friends. Thank you
I love what you ladies are teaching and preaching. It makes me feel so much better during my postpartum period. You dont hear a lot of people putting boundaries on themselves or their babies. So me doing it was a shock to a lot of family and friends but i feel so much more normal and happy that i did. Thank you ladies for normalizing the norm. ❤ Definitely a new subscriber!
I also would tell people sometime in whatever month I was due. My mother-in-law was not happy anytime she asked for a specific date with my second and I just kept saying"mid to late January". My EDD was January 18th and she ended up coming on 10th. I was so happy I kept saying mid to late January because no one was bothering me around that time about if I had given birth yet. When I was working for my first, my boss kept asking when I was giving birth. Like he wanted an actual day, not just the estimated due date. I told him I was due late March and since there was no current plan for an induction or planned c-section, I couldn't give him an actual day because my baby was the only one who knew it! She was born on the last day of March.
