I keep trying to explain to my fiance why the first 2 weeks after our son is born it'd be best our 2 older boys remain in daycare. He's still arguing. He's possibly going to have a new job starting Wednesday which means he'll have NO leave. So I'd be home alone with a newborn, 3 year old, and 4 year old. He doesn't seem to believe me that I'm going to hardly be able to move to handle our newborn let alone chase 2 toddlers who fight

Your fiancé is wrong.
They most definitely should stay in daycare.
I hope you win this debate! You’re gonna need that extra energy.

Unless he’s home to fully help you right after having a newborn yeah he has no say so . It always scared me to have kids so close in age mine are many yrs apart ;) good luck to u safe delivery

@jennatess @sherrynygirl he's trying to make me come up with more reasonings why I can't do it alone the first two weeks, stating I may not tear like I did when I had my first, so i could be fine. I tried telling him between the babies sleep schedule, trying to nurse, struggling to walk, etc. There's no way I can cook 3 meals for me and the kids, make sure they're down for naps, make sure they're not abusing each other, try to escape ro be able to nurse or pump, keep them quiet for the baby to sleep, I wont be able to sleep when the baby sleeps. Like what more reasonings do you need from me

And god forbid you end up with a c-section. It happens and the recovery is brutal. Plus the swelling after. Ugh. No thanks. I wouldn’t risk it. Keep them in daycare at least until you feel better & get a handle on a schedule.

I totally understand what your saying I had 3 son’s my last son was a 13 hr labor I worked all 9months hi risk and was swollen for 2 months after and went back to work after my son was 5wks old so I know it’s not easy at all what our bodies go thru in labor my 1st 2 son’s were just 20 min labors, and my last son I was put on oxygen during labor his shoulders were football wide ,

he's been freaking out because they dropped part time hours at lowes so we're not making ends meet as is. But my sons father pays child support, just half of it would all be daycare cost. He has his son 40% of the month, so he's not even there everyday.
It's amazing that guys dont realize how hard something like that would honestly be. Our bodies need time to heal.

They really should stay in daycare. For them. If they are on a schedule already you don't want to change it up. It will already be enough change at home with a new baby and having to share more attention.

That’s my plan too. I am putting my daughter in summer camp for the week I am due and one week after and then I’ll pull both kids from camp and daycare and keep them home for the rest of my maternity leave. Our bodies go through a lot with labor and delivery we need time to heal and recover! I think you should stand your ground specially if he won’t be home to help.
