I honestly hate being asked if my mother is going to be in the delivery room with me. My answer is HELL NO! she has never wanted to be a part of my life for almost 2yrs. When I told her I was pregnant she told everyone I was dead & told me to never look for her again because she no longer knew who I was & my father of course took my mother's side & went along with everything. It does hurt me when I see/hear other preggo mamas talking about their family being there with them or being a part of their pregnancy & sharing that special bond. All I have is my husband & my baby girl that's almost here & they're all I need. Sorry ladies I needed to get that off my chest...
yea. I have learned a lot about birth and pregnancy since my last birth. since we aren't doing things the conventional way I'm very thankful not to have to deal with the negative comments from concern and lack of knowledge. I'm sure it will get easier as time passes.
@brooklynnbby, @brittneilynn21, Thanks, it's been hard but I've realized I'm better off without them even though it hurts. My first pregnancy & having to go through it alone & not knowing anything is hard.
I hear you. I recently cut ties with all extended family. it wasn't easy but I'm very happy to be off of that emotional rollercoaster. All I have is my husband and son as well. They will be the only ones at my birth for certain as well. :) be encouraged. xo

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...
Is orajel the only thing you mommas use for teething? Lol cause my mom told me when she didn't have any, that she would rub a lil tequila in my gums. Lol I told her now I know who to blame for loving liquor lol
We're here for you though remember you're not completely alone I know we're not the same as having family but we're something(: @melissa_182
