So I'm laying here tonight and I can't sleep.... I know labor will be coming soon in a few weeks if not sooner and I'm nervous and ready. However I'm more stressed about everyone who wants to be there.. I have a large family who is loud and loves to be entertained. My husbands family isn't as large but is about the same. So after he is born, I'm going to be trying to bond with him and recover and entertain all these visitors.... then as you know visitors want to hold your baby and I know I may freak out if they don't give him to me when I ask Because of so of my past etc.... am I nuts? Anyone else have this problem? Can you offer advice? Thanks in advance. I'm just nervous 😩
I didnt tell anyone until i had him and then i told everybody i wasn't allowed to have visitors i thought i couldnt but once i was informed i could i still didn't say anything lol
I was having the same worries and then I realized, I will have just given birth, that is my time with my baby and fiance. I won't be telling anyone when I go into labor and I won't tell anyone he's been born until we've been home for a few days and even then I'm not sure I'll want visitors so soon. It's not selfish of you for wanting some private bonding time. It's selfish and entitled for anyone else to think that they have a right to be there when you feel so uncomfortable. It may be difficult, but you should explain that to them and even give them rules before they come over.

Thanks for all the ❤️ guys! I think I'm in shock! Labor story in a bit I'm being attacked with visitors lol
I am honestly in complete shock rn . Me & my bf really just broke up . & the sad part is I'm the one who did the breaking up . I've never seen him so upset . What did I do ? Like I can't even cry . I have no emotion . To know that I just broke up with my boyfriend who I supposedly loved so much . Maybe I didn't love him . Or maybe I couldn't love him the way he needed to be loved. idk all I know is I got tired of being a pain in his ass . I think it's for the best ... He'll find someone who appr...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I am a ball of nerves right now.
I sent my possible little brother a message on Facebook. My mom placed him for adoption when I was about 7-9. I only know the name she gave him.
So so very nervous. 😳
@babyboy1117, @dejacw, thank you for the comments . Yeah it's overwhelming and since it's my first pregnancy and child I do wanna be the first at it all. To post his photo etc. I have talked to my mom and mother in law about it and they seem to be handling it ok but it's everyone else who wants to come out of the wood works after he's born , but don't bother to come around anytime before.
