So I’m due in April with my first, and one thing I can’t get my head around is not leaving the baby alone for 6 months.
How does that work in practice? We don’t plan to leave him generally (ordering side sleeper for bedroom, etc) but how does it work with things like when I need to use the loo. I assume with showering I can wait until DH is home, but I have issues with using the bathroom which means I can spend a long time sitting on the loo when I’m doing a number 2. Do I bring baby with me in case it turns into a long one? What about when I’m peeing? That’s in and out, can I leave him alone when I need to pee?
And how do we have sex...? I’m fully aware it’ll likely be a couple of months at least until I want to have sex again, but when it’s time, what do we with baby?!
I know we’ll be figure it out but some guidance would be great, so I can start understanding what I need to do!
