@Itz_zayyad1 my gums bled every morning when I brushed my teeth until literally the morning after I gave birth.

@Stayfreshchees3 @brittilina Like, idk why I'm still arguing with you, but I am OVER the idea that brand new moms should have to be thinking about "fairness" when the experience of childbirth should be centered on them.

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@Stayfreshchees3 @brittilina I never said I wanted to wait weeks/months? This whole conversation is about ~fairness~ in who sees a baby, and that framing led to me having a bad start to motherhood. Moms should feel empowered to express their need in a vulnerable time, especially from those who love them.

@Stayfreshchees3 @brittilina what is there to gain by pretending its not a major medical event? childbirth was gross, i was gross, there was a lot of blood all around. the problem is there is an expectation that in-laws be invited to the hospital and its hard to set boundaries after All That.

@ladyloodeeloo thank you for being so brave 😂

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@sue3563 @brittilina lol I love that you live in that world. my MIL held my baby before I did

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@sue3563 @brittilina Ok but no one cared to come when I got home. Everyone wants to see the baby immediately and then go back to their lives.

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@Stayfreshchees3 @brittilina I had perpetually been through 36 hours of active labor, four hours of pushing and an emergency c-section. It is weird that it was expected that people come visit!!! I had just Been Thru It

@gemthebanker @brittilina omfg you suck so bad but also GUESS WHAT my MIL held my baby before me so their bond is fine

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@smalltown_wife @brittilina sorry to remind you that childbirth is gross????? I had just been through the most traumatic event of my life and then immediately to spend a week making small talk with four boomers while regularly excusing myself to change my own diaper.

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@sheffiela01 @brittilina wow we should give you a prize for being the coolest chillest girl in the world

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@smalltown_wife @brittilina you’re such a cool chill girl we should give you a medal. i however was in pain and overstimulated and exhausted and didn’t want anyone in my house actually.

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@MrsMagdaBeard Maybe but I can also tell that the church ladies got my MIL all riled up about how I was going to keep her away from the baby even though I had never suggested it. So it goes both ways

[bald ann dowd @ali_sivi]

she has risen

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@prettycritical also I'm a very regular person and my stroller is in this roundup lol

[Elizabeth Kidd-Chamberlain @libbuh]

@nienna121 I have a two year old and I'm so overwhelmed by the toys from Christmas/Birthday that next year I'm implementing books only 😅

@arcticinstincts Like my dudes it might just be that Chloe Kim, a Korean-American woman, has dominated the sport for a decade and has inspired little girls who see themselves in her to pick up snowboarding. Choi Gaon literally called Chloe her idol after she won gold.

@offbeatorbit like my body also disposes of the embryos that aren't viable so
