Any moms have suggestions for online classes or youtube videos/channels to watch that will help prepare husband and I for baby and delivery? Our in person classes at the hospital were cancelled due to covid but we still want to attend or watch something that will help us prepare and know what to expect (other than books, we're already ontop of those). We're first time parents and things are about to get very real 😳. Appreciate the suggestions!

Honestly we opted to not watch any...we were coached by the nurses and doctors on the day. Post delivery we took Taking Cara’s Babies which was worth every minute.

I follow her on insta and was considering taking her class. Good to hear from someone who tried it, thanks for the recommendation! I give you and your SO lots of credit for being able to go into childbirth with that much courage! We're not the kind of people who can walk in unprepared lol we definitely need to know what to expect and how to prepare before the big day comes. We were bummed when our birthing classes were cancelled, but reassuring that there are other ways to gain the knowledge and support.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Any parents here who really struggled after the arrival of a new baby? It was a planned pregnancy, but after 2 years of this new life, I feel trapped and I feel like this is not the life that I wanted. I know I'll probably get a lot of mean comments here. Looking for anyone who might have experienced this to share their stories/outcomes/what you did. Thanks.

Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
