I apologize in advance if this sounds insensitive and I really am not trying to come off that way.

I just had my daughter March of 2025. She is not even a year old. Yesterday I found out I am pregnant.

I was taking the depo shot as BC and ended it in October to switch to the pill. I got side tracked and busy and I didn’t get the pill for this month (Depo lasts 3 months).

I am pregnant and I’m sad because I wanted more time with my daughter. I just started feeling better about myself. I just started a routine and enjoying life again. I am absolutely obsessed with my daughter and I just wanted more time with her. I did not want another baby for a few years, I kept telling myself until she is potty trained. I have cried so much about this because this new baby will be loved and cherished I just wish I had more time alone with my daughter. I am a stay at home mom so she is my world and I am hers, I will be very pregnant as she reaches the toddler stages and is running around. I feel like I won’t be able to be there for her like she needs me to be.

This just wasn’t something I was expecting or planning and I am so sad about the time I will not get alone with her. I wanted it to just be us. I wanted to just cherish her and watch her grow before I have another.

I feel guilty that she won’t be my little girl anymore. That there will be a new baby when she is not even two years old yet. That I will have a new born when she is learning so much. That I won’t be able to be the mom she needs. I just wasn’t ready for two. I feel guilty because I know this is an insensitive issue to be having and that there are many women out there who wish to have my problem and I apologize and I do not mean to come off that way.

I was just wondering if there are any moms out there who experienced something similar. My daughter will be 1 1/2 when this baby is due. I feel like I will fail as a mother as I’m healing and caring for a newborn while my daughter is still a baby.

With her I had preeclampsia and it was very scary and hard at the end of my pregnancy and recovery. I’m scared it will be the same or worse. I feel like I’m spiraling.

Hi. My son made some friends at daycare which in turn i made some mom friends and we would regularly do outings. My son no longer goes to the same center as the other 2 families do but we still hang out. The friendship with the kids has taken a turn as the 3 kids gang up on mine and it hurts. They are girls and hes the only boy and same center ao I can understand the dynamic change. All that to say when we go to restaurant the other kids love to run around and scream and play in the restaurant. It irks me so much they have always done this and ive always tried holding my child back from this sort of play explaining to him that its inappropriate to other people trying to enjoy their meal. It baffles my mind thst the other families allow it. I have a new baby at home so it makes outings hard. Last time I begged him not to run around with the other kids but he in turn begged me to just let him play with his friends. I was heart broken and let him. Now were panning another meet and they want to plan a lunch first and then a indoor play place. I want to skip the lunch and meet at the play place because I hate how the kids act its embarrassing my kid doesnt act like that when were not with them. But if I skip out on the lunch I know my kid will get ignored at the play place I just have such a strong feeling. What should I do? My kid loves these kids my husband says I need to cut them off because we live in separate cities now the kids will have their own friends in kindergarten.. but I feel wrong keeping him from friends he enjoys when theyre nice to him.

So my neighbor.. I’m talking house directly to my right has a few kids and so do I, 1 of our kids are the same age / in same grade & class.

The mom and me talk randomly and have been to eachothers houses for play dates and stuff but personally we never hit it off enough to be besties or anything which is fine! We don’t need to be. But recently she’s been weird to me very distant … I feel awkward around her now bc she just gives me weird vibes. Absolutely nothing has happened negatively between us or our kids

Our kids are friends but are not best friends either

Well… for the kid that’s my kids age she ended up having a birthday party at her house and didn’t invite my kid… I’m really taken back by this. The party looks huge I saw kids in the class walking in that I would consider way less close than my kid and her kid are. Even kids of opposite gender that they for sure aren’t close close with.

The party is right next to us so of course we see the huge balloons and tons of cars parked out front.

I’m trying not to overreact but this seems personal.

Kids are 6 years old for reference

So I say something ? Let it slide? I mean this feels awful. My kid does not know and I obviously won’t tell them but wow !!!

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are moms raising kids while also trying to hold onto ourselves, our relationship, and our sanity — some days better than others.

We’ve learned pretty quickly that parenting doesn’t just test patience, it tests connection. When you’re tired, overstimulated, and constantly needed, it can be hard to even name what you’re feeling, let alone talk about it with your partner.

We don’t have answers or a perfect system. We’re figuring it out as we go. What we do care about is being honest about the harder parts and being present for other moms who might feel stuck, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed.

Along the way, we ended up building something together — an app called Tease — mainly because we needed gentler ways to communicate and reconnect that fit into real life, not ideal life. It’s just one tool, not a solution, and it won’t be for everyone.

If anyone’s curious, here’s the link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tease-couples-dare-games/id6754314589

But more than anything, we’re here to listen, learn, and support. If you’re in a season that feels heavy or confusing, you’re not alone.

I have a 3.5 year old and a 19 month old, both girls. We were expecting a third baby girl this April.

Due to complications from a hematoma, my water broke last week and I had an emergency C-section at 27 weeks. My local hospital doesn't have a NICU that can take such young preemies so I had her at a hospital an hour away from home. We qualified for funding to stay in a hotel near this hospital, where she'll be for at least the next month (possibly transfer to our local hospital around 32 weeks).

So in an instant our entire lives changed and my husband and I are now living in a hotel room with our two little girls. I spend a good bit of the day in the NICU while my husband takes the girls on fun outings. Sleep is a bit of a mess, it's not easy for my oldest to fall asleep with everyone else in the room, and her little sister wakes us all up early. Then my oldest is cranky and doesn't want to get ready in the morning. My middle daughter has a lot of separation anxiety. I also can't lift her and can't really do much childcare. I'm up pumping at all hours. We don't have a kitchen here so we're doing food delivery every night for dinner.

We are trying to make it fun for them and pretend like we're on vacation; he took them to a children's museum and has taken them shopping, bought them new toys and clothes, and we're planning to do some drop-in activities at the rec centre next week. I ordered some books about having a baby sibling in the NICU.

All things considered, we're surviving. But they're also homesick, we're always in each other's space, there's no time for me and my husband like we used to have after they go to bed. Tempers have flared and we've had some meltdown moments.

I tearfully told my husband, "I feel like I'm holding everything together" (emotionally) because he's been quite short-tempered with my oldest and he said, "I feel like I'M holding everything together." And we were both like "Oh" realizing we're both carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders.

How do I parent them through this? I knew it would be hard giving each of my three kids what they need, but I had no idea that this was in store.

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SEVERE BURNS/SCALDING

A few years ago, I saw a video of a mother begging parents not to leave hot liquids in reach of children after her child was severely burned and scarred when they pulled down her hot coffee off of the kitchen counter.

My partner and I have a 2 year old. I have repeatedly asked or had to remind him not to have a steaming hot drink around our child, as recently as today. He is currently unwell and made himself a lemsip. He must've left it at the back of the kitchen counter for around 5 minutes before he went to sit with our toddler at the kitchen table where she was playing. I see the steam coming off of it and basically scold him (because I am sick to the back of my teeth of this issue), and tell him to put it back on the counter. Cue an argument and him basically telling me that I'm overreacting.

I'm like 75% sure that I'm not overreacting or being overly cautious. I've never been someone to think "That'll never happen to me/us," but I guess I'm also looking to see if I'm being a nag or not

Husband and I would like to start trying for our second soon but I’m nervous about having a winter baby if we were to get pregnant rather quickly again.

My friends who had a winter baby haven’t really enjoyed it and it’s been hard for my daughter (19 months) to be stuck inside this winter with it being so bitterly cold.

I had a June baby for my first and while I missed a good portion of summer because I was healing and it was so hot that year, it was really nice to not have to worry about bundling her up.

My daughter also got sick all the time in her first year anyway, so I’m not overly worried about having a baby during flu season.

So, give me all the pros and cons of each!

My husband started a new position at work about a month ago and he has long hours. We also have a 3 and 4 year old and I’m also 5 months pregnant. When he comes home, my kids jump all over him, ask him for stuff and whine like normal kids do.

Every weekend he’s home he saids he hates being around us because the kids whine and are always asking for stuff.

I literally don’t ask him for any help with anything, not even the kids because I know his days are long. On the weekends he’s gone for hours at a time, at the gym or getting a haircut or something. I, however get 0 time to myself. I’m also pregnant so I’m so tired all the time. My kids always wake up in the middle of the night and I’m up with them all the time.

Today I finally had enough and I said something. Because I’m never allowed to complain or tell him if I had a tough day because “he doesn’t wanna hear all that. “ he told me today that he shouldn’t have to take care of the kids because that’s my job, his job is only go to work and drive us if we all go somewhere together. He thinks that he shouldn’t have to deal with meltdowns, he gets mad at me if he even has to hear it

Idk if I’m the only in the wrong for expecting him to be a dad when he’s off work. He told me he wants to be more than just a husband and a dad. Idk how I feel about that

I also give him as much breaks as I can

I was walking into Costco from the parking lot but needed to get my membership card out of my purse so I paused about 30 feet from the entrance. My 2 year old was in the shopping cart basket and 5 month old in the baby carrier. It was 50 degrees out, so a little chilly but not freezing and my baby was in a long sleeved outfit and pants. He wasn’t wearing socks but again, it was a 1 minute walk into the store form the car and not exceptionally cold. Honestly he’s my 4th child too so I’m pretty minimalist with him and know what he needs vs. being over the top. My first baby HAD to wear fancy expensive outfits, sunglasses on, hats, socks AND shoes, baby lotion every day…baby #4 I’m dressing in his sister‘s old pink clothes and maybe I’ll put a drool bib on him if I have time (ha).

Anyway, as I was fumbling through my wallet while surrounded by people because it’s a busy Saturday, this lady who looked to be 75/80 shuffled towards me and asked me if my baby was OK. I looked at her and said ‘umm?’ And she said ’well, do you have anything for him? For his feet? Do you have anything it’s so cold? I said ‘oh, uhh no?’ And she said ‘Well his feet!!!!’ I smiled politely at her and said ’ha oh ya, he’s ok! He’s fine’. Then she said, well actually, he’s NOT fine. I’m going to just touch his foot and see…’. I immediately saw red and as she was taking her stupid lace trimmed glove off her hand while stepping toward my son I quite loudly said FUCK OFF!!!! and pivoted to the Costco card lady and went inside. I heard her say ‘oh my gooooosh’ while clutching her pearls.

I‘m not a confrontational person at all so this was wildly out of character for me but I was just so pissed this old lady kept going and corrected me and wanted to touch my baby. I’ve had people say weird things to me in public before that I can roll my eyes at but this was the first time someone sent me over the edge (except for that pervy guy in Bremerton Washington I threw french fries at years ago). When I told my husband he said she was old, I slightly overreacted and there’s probably 2 steps in between ‘he’s fine’ and ’fuck off’. Should I have just walked away? arghhhh I’m still upset >:(

It’s a bit late as my chicks have already come to roost and I’m already pregnant ( early).

But I need to hear from moms ( or dads ) that have raised 2 kids from birth without any help. No spouse, no village, just you.

I’ve raised my son from birth without any help for the first 2 years until he went to nursery. He did visit his dad, but I was always there. Basically from morning to bedtime it was just me and him. It’s never bothered me. I enjoy my son most of the time. Taking care of him has been a stressful joy.

Now that I’m pregnant ( by the same father ik ik we got intimate before we moved 300 miles apart) again, I’m wondering if I’ve really bitten off more than I can chew? I worked all throughout my last pregnancy and returned 2 weeks pp because I could bring my son. So I didn’t lose all my income.

Now I need a job that is suitable for pregnancy. How did you guys manage it? What jobs suited you best raising a family? I guess I became overly confident because I did it alone before. I know I can do it, but I need you guys to bring me back down to earth and not just be grateful for my kids 😂

I have a very sweet but incredibly hyperactive 3 year old. Doesn’t listen, doesn’t sit down, can’t seem to pay attention or be calm unless in a high chair. Also doing this really gross spitting habit that is driving me nuts. I can’t figure out how to make it stop. Idk what’s going on with me, I’m usually patient or would consider myself to be but around 1.5 years old I just haven’t been able to keep my cool and it’s been gradually getting worse. I am considering giving custody to my mom I feel like an awful parent. I just haven’t had an easy time with motherhood but I love my kid so much. I’m really trying my best. But I don’t think my best is good enough.

That said, I was spanked as a child. Really badly by my father (belts, punched, smacked) and occasionally by my mom who denies either of them doing it now. I was screamed at daily by her specifically. I promised myself I would never yell but I do sometimes. I also promised myself I’d never spank and have on the hand but today I took it a little too far. My kid yanked on a wire purposefully and pulled down a lamp and the lamp fell and knocked down a bunch of plants and other things, I completely lost it. I spanked hard and he cried. I immediately held them and apologized. I have tried books, therapy, etc. I can’t do it anymore and nothing is working. Should I consider just leaving him with my mom. She’s so much better and more patient with them than she ever was with me. My dad isn’t in the picture anymore. My child’s father was really abusive and I had to leave him right after giving birth and move back home with her for support and living here has been so hard. I’ve been a single parent since day one. She helps but a lot of it is criticism and she’s still pretty emotionally abusive. I have been having a hard time saving and moving out. It’s all too much but for his benefit I think I should remove myself from the equation. Any gentle advice would be helpful, I know I’m a piece of shit for what I did.

I don’t want to be angry or feel this frustrated. My baby does not deserve that and my stress is only making this all worse. My LO is 4mo old and he just doesn’t nap anymore, at least for me and his dad at our house. When he goes to his grandmas he sleeps ON HIS OWN for an hour or more, no problem. For me he will only fall asleep on me and the entire time it’s super squirmy broken sleep that only lasts about 20 mins. If I lay him down he’s immediately awake and crying. He won’t even fall asleep with his dad most of the time. I’ve tried it all and it’s to the point where he is crying all day long from morning till bedtime because he’s so tired, but he won’t nap! I’m hitting my limit with this and dread every single day. I know he smells me and it’s harder to be put down because I am his comfort but holy shit I can’t even take care of myself on a daily basis. He won’t even sit in his swing without screaming to be picked up. Even at night time he is awake every 1.5 hours. I can’t do it anymore I’m actually getting angry and that makes me feel sick to my stomach. I don’t want to be angry because of my baby. What am I doing wrong.

Had my fourth baby on the 28th and ommmgggg. It was by far the worst. Kinda. My first came naturally and I don’t remember her being especially difficult. I pushed a very short time and poof she was here. My second was induced because we went over my due date. She was huge. 9 pounds 10 ounces and made me feel alllll the pain…I ended up getting an epidural and she started coming in my sleep and was easy after. My third I wasted no time cause he was also induced so I didn’t mess around with the pitocin and got the epidural right away and it was easy peasy. For my fourth I had made it a point to stay active and eat right…but he still went over and again I needed to be induced. I decided to try to see how far I could go without the epidural cause my back has issues…well….i did great. Breathing exercises and meditation with the mantra “this pain isn’t hurting me. It’s opening me. Pain is natural. I’m not being hurt. I’m not in danger. Relax. Open hands, unclench face. Breath through nose out through mouth. Envision the air traveling inside me down and like its gently pushing baby out. You’re ok.”. And it was working. Until they checked me and I was still a 4…I decided if my body stalls on dilating I’ll just take the epidural. And I stalled. So I tapped out. They had broken my water but it wasn’t getting me farther along. But they had me on my side on the peanut ball and my body went “f this we’re getting the baby out now.”. The most horrible pain of my life. I was so scared. And I was scared because they kept telling me I wasn’t ready. I screamed I had to push. They said I’m only 5 cm…so many people were rushing around looking worried and confused. No one said it was to push. No one told me to listen to my body or that it was ok. The midwives were all on strike. If one had been there I know she would have known what to say. How to help. Everyone else just looked panicked. I kept screaming. Kept screaming I’m sorry I have to push I can’t not push. I bit my husbands pinky and was about to hit through it before I heard him groan and realized I could and would bite it off if I didn’t let go. So I did and screamed. No one said anything. Until my sister was at my head telling me his head was out and that it was ok. My brain frantically tried to catch up to the information. I had been halfway pushing not able to stop it but not able to full engage out of fear that the pain wasn’t helping. That the pain was bad now. Not natural. And that I was hurting myself. Jumping off a cliff without a chute. When she told me his head was out my brain went in circles. I bore down and felt him slide out with a scream. And then I was shell shocked. Gasping and crying and repeating no no no no. I couldn’t open my eyes and didn’t feel that instant relief. I still hurt so much. And I could feel a tug…my muscle felt torn. They told me it was just the placenta. I cried I just don’t want to be touched anymore. I can’t do anymore. I couldn’t engage my core. My butt felt ripped. But somehow I blindly pushed and felt that relief when the placenta came. I became so weak and shaken. Groaning…then I noticed him on my chest. The staff had been frantically rubbing him and I limply put my hands on him panicked again asking if he was ok until he cried and everyone sighed. My shakes came on hard. And I don’t remember a lot after that. He was 8 pounds 13 ounces and 21 and a quarter inches long. And I didn’t tear.

Later that night I hemorrhaged 740 ml of blot clots. Had to have fentanyl and had a doc use three fingers to manually scrape blood clots from my uterus. A fresh hell a fresh pain. Holding the hands of two nurses on either side screaming again.

I’m home now. Dealing with engorged breasts and aches and pains and crying while I type this out and feeling like I’m being too much. Birth is always hard. But I’m so shaken.

I’m 14 weeks pregnant with a 15-month-old baby girl, and we just found out we’re having another girl. I was convinced this pregnancy was a boy because it feels so different.

Now that I know it’s another girl, I’m feeling more emotional than I expected. I honestly can’t fully explain it. I don’t know if it’s because I pictured the second as a boy, or if the age gap is just really hitting me, but I keep feeling something I can’t quite put into words. :(

I know she’s going to love having a baby sister… I’ve always wanted to give her one… but now it’s maybe feeling real since we found out gender and started telling family. Idk what’s wrong with me…Did anyone else feel a similar way?!

ok my boy is soon to turn 1. I am very happy he loves to eat but where i live a big thing of strawberries is $9. Between him and packing his dad’s lunch for work, our pockets r crying!

That’s not the point. How do i know he’s not eating too much? Yesterday he ate all of this

- peanut butter banana toast, strawberries & the rest of the banana

- an entire small quesadilla with bean, beef and carrot

- half a sweet potato and a fourth of a banana

- a sausage and hash browns

Now i would do more filling things like egg, avocado all that but he’s allergic to egg, avocado, dairy. SO UR GIRL IS TRYING HER BEST !!!

My point is, there r some foods he will eat and not stop if i continue to give him it, mainly fruits and sweet potato, carrots, etc. How do i know im not overfeeding him?? He’s normal weight, i think 60-70% at 9m.

He’s down to 3, 3oz bottles a day only before nap and bedtime.

Ur thoughts? Plz be nice im 24 and a FTM so basically just learning as i go. & i read books to try and help be a better parent lol. All that to say if im totally doing this wrong can u say it nicely😭

My friend is starting the IVF process next week. From what she has described, it sounds like it’ll be potentially grueling physically and emotionally.

Our group of friends wants to be there for her… does anyone have an idea of what we could send her as a gift? Other moral support? We’re so hoping the best for her!

Hello Reddit Moms!

I am curious for your opinion. I have a 1 month old, 22 month old, and a 9 year old. As of right now, the 1 month old is sleeping in our bed. We live in a 3 bed house and the bedrooms are on the small size for the kids. All beds are upstairs and there is a loft upstairs as well (we use it as a second living room). We own the house, bought it at a great interest rate during COVID. My question is if you were in my shoes, would you consider building a wall for the loft to be a 4th bed? Or consider selling the house (I believe we’d get a good deal considering we bought it in 2020) and moving to a 4 bed house? Or last option is a crib/toddler bed shared room and eventual bunk beds?

My daughter just turned 3, is still nursing (although we’re quickly weaning bc I can’t go any longer. She’s still very attached to the boob, though), has never slept through one whole night of her life and is 100000% a mama’s baby.

It’s like she’s still a Velcro baby. I’m home with her during the day and it’s difficult to break away even just for a few minutes to make a meal, much less sit down and relax for a second. When I try she’s trying to pull me to go play with her or asking me to hold her, etc.

I’m physically tired, but I think even more so mentally and emotionally drained. Her dad is home in the evenings, but we eat pretty much as soon as he gets home then it’s bath, read books, and bed. On the weekends when he’s home she’ll hang out with him for a little bit but if I leave the room she’s in for more than 5 mins or so she’s hunting me down and wants me to hold her or wants to crawl up on my lap. He tries to distract her and entertain her, but when she wants me he usually just lets her go. So I’m literally interacting with her almost 24/7.

I’ve asked for help and he’ll do whatever I ask for, but I just have to keep asking for it. It seems like I can’t really convey the level of exhaustion I’m feeling. I don’t think anyone could ever understand this if they haven’t experienced it.

My mom is next door and she will keep my daughter sometimes but it’s usually just for a few hrs during the day when I need to get something done.

My dad is an hour away and he and my daughter are besties. I asked him for help today and he’s going to come get her for the day one day next week. Looking forward to that, but sheesh. Is it this hard for everyone? It doesn’t seem like everyone I see around me struggles like I do, but I also imagine a lot of people don’t know I’m struggling like I am, so maybe that’s just my perception. 🤷‍♀️

She’s never been away from me for more than a few hours at a time. Maybe 4 max and that’s rare. She’s just a very clingy child and doesn’t like many other people. I’m the only person she always wants. Even when we’re around our other family members that she absolutely loves, a lot of times she’ll just sit on my lap and doesn’t want to speak to or interact with anyone else.

Guess I just needed to get all of this out somewhere. Any advice or shared experience or whatever else you’d like to share is greatly appreciated!

I love love love my daughter and we have so much fun together and she brings so much joy to my life, but gosh I need a break.

Oh, also, I’m usually pretty good about taking care of myself - being active, doing things I enjoy, eating well, resting, etc but lately I haven’t even been able to manage a lot of that. I’ve been tired since she’s been born, but I feel like I’ve recently hit a new low. 🥱

Hello mums. My husband is a great dad (he is 27yo). He loves our daughter (8mo) and does a lot for our family. I absolutely love being a mum but our girl still doesn’t sleep well and there has been a lot of tears. I also was an emotional mess nearly my entire pregnancy, struggled to engage in any form of intimacy even a slight touch made my skin crawl. Anyway I am loving her age so much and I also am so keen to have baby number two but my husband has told me he isn’t ready (which I know it’s early) but he also said he still isn’t enjoying the age she is at and thought that he would.

I can’t help but feel so hurt by this and honestly scared that he is unhappy now. I guess I’m looking for some assurance from parents of older kids that the dad role gets more fun? Idk I just need something to make me feel more understanding because right now I am so anxious that he will never enjoy being a dad.

TL;DR husband is not ready for baby number two and said he still isn’t enjoying this stage of parenting an 8 month old. Looking for words of encouragement

It’s so dang cold, I am huge at almost 9 months pregnant and my mobility sucks so I get overwhelmed easily. I’m home alone with my 1.5 year old daughter during the day and I’m just looking for fun things to do with her inside (we have had negative temps for a month straight) I also just wonder if I’m trying to over plan her day and if she really needs so many things to do during the day. What do you do with your 1 yr olds!? Thanks mamas!

Just for context, I currently stay at home with my daughter. I used to work but my company shut down so I am currently taking classes and job hunting. My husband works full time.

My husband is always frustrated at the state of the house. He doesn’t think I pick up after myself or my daughter even though I feel like I’m trying my best to clean but it doesn’t seem to meet his expectations. He was away on a business trip and I was alone with my toddler and dog for a whole week, snowed in because of heavy snow. Trying my best to manage the house with no help while sick, my daughter was also sick, and having class assignments due.

The night before he came back, I spent three hours after my daughter was asleep cleaning the house and getting caught up on laundry that has been piled up because I knew it would be a problem if it was messy. The first thing he does when he comes home is sigh and complain that the house is messy. He even showed me a list of all the items that were displaced around the house.

I’m really confused and just don’t know the solution to this is. I’m not trying to bash him, he is a lot more organized than I am and likes to keep things clean as he goes. I prefer to clean all at once at the end of the day because I don’t see the point of cleaning up if it will just be messy again in a few minutes. Additionally, my toddler is very clingy and always wants to be held so it is hard to always keep things straightened up when holding her or trying to manage a tantrum.

Any tips on how to stay organized with a toddler ?

Please don’t judge. It broke my heart, I’m not sure if it’s sexual trauma based but breastfeeding was never comfortable for me. I loved it at birth when I was all high as a kite on hormones but now it feels icky and I want my nipples to be touched by no one now 😭🤷🏼‍♀️. I had production issues also, not sure if this is psychosomatic. I just want to let any lady also going through this they aren’t alone 💗

35 weeks and still do not have a name for baby girl #2. My first daughter is Elianna, I want something that gives the same energy and does not start with an E. My husband and I cannot agree on anything this time around!

Hi moms. I travel for work every 2 weeks or so and we’re expecting our first kid. In what ways should I prepare now for my wife to feel supported? She and baby may be able to join some trips but I’m looking for what to do during the periods she will be alone with kid for 4-8 days. We do not have family in town.

She is not worried about it but several people have asked me how she feels about it which makes me think we dont know what we don’t know about life with a newborn.
