@linlee You might get lucky! I made it through my pregnancy without needing any maternity clothes until the last few weeks - by then it was winter and I work from home so leggings and hoodies were all I needed. Wrap dresses, loose flowy dresses and oversized shirts with leggings went a long...

@mogulmama Is your FIL under the impression he has some legal right to time with this child? Because he’s sure acting like not seeing the kid isn’t an option. I don’t think I’d have my baby around someone who treats me this way - family or not. The behaviour they see is the behaviour they learn...
