    Ummm..yeah. Who is using TB to try to boost blog posts apparently. I actually read the one she left in our group, and out of all of the posts I've read about g diapers (or any CD), hers was by far the worst. Sounded so childish and not professional.

    Yes! Agreed. But... I replied, b/c I do think she really reads everything, even if very infrequently.

    @mspacman34 that stinks about your mom.  I feel the same way about face kissing.  Regardless of TDAP history, I would want people out of newborn's face until the baby is vaccinated.  When I was a FTM, I became a hand washing Natzi and even denied visitors with small children.  Now we have a toddler to bring home plenty of germs.

    @Kateriee: Congrats!  :)
  • @mspacman34 Wow so sorry to hear your mom is reacting that way. We had a similar scenario with DD1 because we basically said we don't have many rules but please don't kiss her on the mouth (DH and his fam think it's weird and I didn't have an opinion to the contrary). So when we weren't looking my sister had apparently done so and posted a pic to her social media which DHs family then saw and asked him about so I had to be the bad guy and basically scold her for it and have her take it down. It caused a big issue at the time and her feelings were hurt but everyone is right that it's your baby and your rules so this is just a time where your mom could be more supportive of you and your wishes.

    @CherryBananas, my dentist told me that, too, while I was still pregnant. I'm really glad he did because I have a hot mess of dental issues, and I want to avoid passing that to DS if possible.

  • @kns1988 that's good he said something! A lot of pregnant women avoid the dentist so we don't always get a chance to tell people about that. I get a lot of shocked looks from new moms when I advise them not to kiss their own babies.

  • @CherryBananas So glad you mentioned that! My husband has horrible teeth so I'll let him know that!

    I had some car issues this morning, and was going to be about 30 minutes late, and my friend & supervisor thought I was having the baby! lol
  • @mspacman34 That's terrible! I'm sorry she's being so mean. You have every right to make those requests, and she has every right to shut up and be supportive, only.
  • @mspacman34 I hope your mom is able to get over it soon! That's one of the benefits to being the parent, you make the rules and everyone else gets to shut up and obey them.
    @CherryBananas I'm not a huge fan of kissing babies on the mouth (hello slobber), but knowing how horrible my teeth are and seeing I can pass it along that way, makes me kind of sad that I really need to remember to not kiss my babe on the mouth for 6 months.
  • @CherryBananas I had no idea about this! Thank you for bringing this up. I have had a lot of dental work done, despite taking care of my teeth,  and DH only recently started going to the dentist regularly and has 3 cavities that need to be filled and probably won't be until our insurance gives us more money in January. Definitely going to fill him in on this info too!
  • No problem ladies! Avoiding kisses isn't going to guarantee a cavity-free kid (there's definitely a genetic component as well) but it makes a big difference. 

    @absbubbs I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry you have such a tough decision to make. Big creepy Internet hugs!

  • @mcvgal ugh...I didn't even think about that. And to remember to bring the carseat just in case, which H took out of his car and hasn't even put back in yet...
  • @absbubbs I also wouldn't go bc traveling that long would be so uncomfortable this far along. Plus if baby had any problems (hope not) and would have to stay you would be further away. 
  • @absbubbs unfortunately, I wouldn't go either. I have a family event this weekend that is 6 hours away and I'm not going (DD is the 25th). It stinks not being able to go, but the risk isn't worth it.
  • @absbubbs add me to the list of those that wouldn't go. It's unfortunate to miss that celebration of his life, but remember that your memories will stay with you and that's what counts. 
  • @absbubbs I'm sorry for your loss. This late in the game I probably wouldn't go. :(
  • @SWE2 luckily (or maybe unluckily?), if that were to happen, baby would be sent to the same hospital as if we were home, which is the middle hospital. And depending on what the issue was, we could even possibly get a transfer to our own hospital  :)
    You guys bring up very good points, I'm not sure why I'm struggling with it so much. We both grew up in such a rural area that if we still lived there, we probably wouldn't even second guess it.  
  • @absbubbs I'm so sorry for your loss! That's a tough decision!

    @llenadevida900 Sorry you had a hard day! I hope tomorrow is better.
  • @absbubbs I agree with PP about not traveling as hard as that is...I'm sorry you're going through this. Creepy Internet hugs sent your way!

    @llenadevida900 So sorry about your rough day. FX you have a better day tomorrow!

    @mspacman34 I totally agree with your stance and dread being in your same position again with having to remind people that I don't want people kissin on my NB when he's here or my 2yo for that matter. Stand your ground! Sorry the response from your family was so crappy

    Alright, I have a dumb question. My grandma is a retired nurse, but she's also 80 years old and spouts off old wives' tales all the time. She keeps telling me that if I don't take it easy, my uterus won't go back to normal. That's not really a thing, right? I don't even know what she means by it.

    @kns1988: I agree with the importance of taking it easy pp & allowing yourself the time & space to heal... but no, I've never heard it put quite that way.  ;)
  • SKZWSKZW member
    @WombThereItIs: You totally should make it official. You already have it all planned out. Enjoy your long weekend!
  • @kns1988 One of the nurses at the midwifery practice I go to said losing your placenta is like leaving behind a placenta-sized wound inside your uterus. She said you need to take it easy postpartum so the uterus can heal the placenta-sized wound well. It makes sense, for a variety of reasons, to me, that taking it easy is important post partum. That being said, I don't think if you overdo it you're messing up your uterus for next time, but I guess if the placenta-sized wound can't heal well, it might be harder on your uterus? If you think you're overdoing it, maybe you should take it easier?

    @WombThereItIs Totally do it. Today is my last day and I don't have a cesearan planned. Enjoy!
  • @WombThereItIs sounds like a solid plan!

    @jayandaplus Yaye for your last day of work!
