Anyone NOT going to have the baby in their room?

[X5OT]

Yes, I'd agree with you all. Perhaps a moderator might want to lock this post from now on?

Seems a shame to lock my post - I was only trying to get some advice Not my fault if people choose to create any agro (not directed at anyone, just generally).

I guess you could all say theres a fair health argument over keeping a baby in your room for the first 6 months, then could you in heart of hearts have a tiny newborn on their own and needing warmth and reasurrance?

Everyones got their own argument and its personal choice at the end of the day.

So put ya claws AWAY.

No apologies necessary from ANYONE - again thank you to everyone for their comments and feedback to my original query

 

[lisa&alex]

seems like everyones extreamly hormonal recently.. and making something out of nothing. doesnt take much to stur the pot does it..

i aint arguing.. a simple question was all i was asking.. quite clearly wendy was directing a comment at me.. seen as she wants a moderator to keep an eye on the thread.

wendy if you have anything you wish to say to or about me i suggest you pm me. and in future keep your opinions about me to yourself. because you dont know me and your un-knowledged opinions about me are harmfull.. those who know me will know why i have become agitated by your words.

now back to the topic please.

My Baby Will Deffinately Be In Our Room With Us ... The Closer The Better

.. And As For The More Heated Debate In This Thread - Everyone Has Made Really Good Points. I Feel That Both Partners Are Indeed Equal. One Is At Work & One Is Also Working, Looking After Baby At Home. However, Although We Might Like To Sometimes Think "I Carried The Baby For 9 Months,Sacrificed a Lot,Lost My Figure,Suffered The Morning Sickness & I Will Be The One Going Through All That Pain During Labour.." We Are Forgetting Something Which I Personally Feel Is Relevant.. I Wrongly Said To My OH a While Ago, "Im Carrying Her & Going Through Everything So In a Way I Have More Right Chosing The Name".. His Reply To That Instantly Made Me Think & In My Opinion He Couldnt Be More Right When He Replied.. " I Know That, But Its Something That I Have No Control Over. I Wasnt Able To Chose To Carry Her Myself & Feel Its Unfair That I Should Lose An Equal Right In Choices Because Of Something That Im Unable To Change." My Point Being, They May Be "Going Through Less" But Remember That It Isnt By Choice

Good point carly ...however its traumatic enough seeing my OH with "man flu" let alone being pregnant lol ....Jeeebas could you imagine it.

Jeez after a weekend of man flu if he became pregnant I will emigrate. Cannot cope with that!!!!

Sere slept with me, til she was 7 months. I wanted her near me plus I found it loads easier in terms of feeding her. If OH wated a full nights sleep he went into the spare room.

Couldnt Agree More

 

Aww, Carly, thanks for sharing with us your man's view on the whole pregnancy thing: that comment's so insightful.

I've often felt extremely privileged to be a woman (and to be fertile). Sometimes, it's good to be reminded again - especially now that we're in the later stages - of how lucky we are to be able to experience pregnancy and birth. Thanks (and thank your partner) for helping me to remember that.

Can we keep this on topic please girls?

Both my girls slept in my bed with me until they were about 8 weeks old when they went into cots in the same room, and then into thier own rooms at about 3 months old. Actually they pretty slept through the night from 8 weeks so I must have done something right

I know its supposed to be dangerous to have them in bed with you, but I never felt it was. I would feed them and let them fall asleep on me, then roll them over so they were sleeping in my arm to my side if that makes sense. I always sensed them there and never once rolled over - in fact its the only time in my life I would sleep without fidgeting - instincts are a wonderful thing

Hi,
I didn't have either of my boys in with us, they both went in their own room from the day we came home from the hospital.I bowed to pressure with keiran after a few days and put him in with us but I couldn't sleep so I put him back inhis own room.I think it is personal choice and what you are comfortable with.x

 

[trixipaws]

we had planned 2 put millie in her own room after about 6 weeks, but we couldnt bear it now shes here! i do like the ease of not having 2 get outta bed 2 feed her, and also apparently humans sleep heavier when alone in a room; less likelyhood of SIDS which frightens me.

dont worry about ur husbands and boyfs. my boyf after 3 or 4 days got used 2 the crying, now he sleeps thru it. think its coz he kno's he dont hav 2 get up hes like immune 2 it now! he sometimes asks me "did she get up last nite?" and im like "errm yeah- she was up twice and cried really loudly!" lol.
