I’m 1 day out from my c section and I’m feeling sooo helpless because it’s hard to get up and use the bathroom. My incision burns very badly it’s intense- need some encouragement thank you🩷

I’m very overwhelmed as I have a planned c section on Tuesday. My mom can be a bit overbearing and she makes a lot of things about herself. She’s a narcissist but not vile unless she doesn’t get her way. She’s mostly hidden it from me as I’m the youngest but she has thrown her fits and has admitted that she’s a narcissist to her best friend in the past. Anyways, she doesn’t work right now and lives with my grandparents. She doesn’t have much going on except her first actual grandchild she has contact with because my brothers are irresponsible and not involved in their kids lives. I don’t talk to them either because of it. Anyways, my mom was a little upset when I told her I can only have one person in the surgery. She did ask if she could be there in the waiting room but I want my time after surgery to recover but to also be recovered and spending time with my first baby and husband. We want our golden hour without being stressed about people in the waiting area. I don’t know how I’m going to accommodate so many people in one day especially because I want people to have separate times that they are there. Like my sister and her don’t get along so I need separate times for them. I’d rather have my mother in law have her own time with the baby as I know how special it is for each person to have their own time with the baby without others around. How long should I keep visits?

I bought some packaged chicken breast’s on Sunday, sell by date says tomorrow and I was planning to use them today but chatgpt is saying I’ve had them in the fridge too long (5-6 days) like I’m so confused. How long should you have chicken stored in the fridge unopened? I don’t mind throwing it out if it’s considered unsafe since I’m pregnant and due Tuesday (c section)

Hello all. My sister wants to make my newborn daughter who is due 5/19 to be the beneficiary of her life insurance policy. I am planning to add my own daughter as well to my own but am waiting for her birth. My sister will never have kids and this will probably be an only child. Do I need to provide my daughter’s social security number to her? ChatGPT says not to? It’s not that I don’t trust my sister but I feel guilty for my daughter not being able to consent to me providing this information. I know that might sound silly but I don’t even plan on posting photos of my daughter on social media in order to protect her identity. Thanks!

My mom has never worked a full time job. She used us kids for government assistance growing up. We’re all adults now and I still don’t know how she gets by. She lived with my brother for 10 years and when he got divorced, she had no where to stay and is now living with my grandparents. She’s been there for over a year and still isn’t working or saving up for when they pass. She’s says she’s applying to jobs but like it’s been over a year and you haven’t found anything? With all of that time? I’m having my first baby and cannot imagine taking care of her. She’s only in her 50’s. Is anyone else in a similar situation? I’ve literally been working full time for the past 15 years in my adult life and got myself a work from home job to be at home with my baby because my job is very baby friendly. I just don’t understand why she doesn’t do something to atleast save up. It’s heavy on my mind because I refuse to let my daughter grow up the way we did. My husband also refuses to let my mom ever move in. We make only a decent income for us and our baby. We only have 2 bedrooms and live in a small place. I couldn’t imagine my place being invaded by parents.
