Unborns paternal grandmother giving me crippling anxiety
29f My babysfather 28M is currently incarcerated. I am almost 6 months pregnant and also have an infant that’s not his. I live in a state that I’m not from and don’t have any relatives or friends. I had my other baby’s father mother but she blocked me out of her life when I moved out of her house. Anyways. I just recently lost my vehicle and my unborns father family is my only source of support . His mother has recently made comments that she plans on having my baby most of the time , aswell as my baby that’s already here (which she has no relation to) and has never even babysat.. me and my baby’s father were living together prior to his incarceration and his attorney said he’ll likely be out before I give birth. His mother keeps pushing dna testing which this whole thing has me terrified of an upcoming custody battle. What do I do?

Anyone took omeprazole during pregnancy without magnesium supplements?
Hi,
I took 40 mg of omeprazol daily during my pregnancy at the month 8th and 9th (3rd trimester) however, I didn’t supplement myself with magnesium.
I’m a bit worried that the fact that I didn’t take magnesium had any consequences in the baby. Anyone had a similar situation, that didn’t take magnesium supplements and the baby is fine?
Thank you!

Pregnant, exposure to alcohol and THC questions
I was sober for 2 years. My spouse and I had been working with the fertility clinic for a year trying to conceive, with no luck. After a traumatic incident, I had broke my sobriety streak. In 3 weeks, after ovulation, before my period was supposed to happen, I had smoked 3 joints and drank 3 beers. I stopped before I was supposed to get my period to get back on my wagon, and to give my next cycle a chance. However, my period was late. I tested. It was positive. I got my bloodwork done. And I am for sure pregnant. I am overjoyed, but I feel like I let my guard down and totally screwed up. What are my chances to have a healthy child? My nurse says not to beat myself up, and that I "should" be fine, but I am driving myself crazy....

16 weeks pregnant - essential purchases?
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and starting to think about what I need to buy and when but there is SO much information out there and I feel like I'm also seeing a lot of people suggesting not to buy certain things until baby is here. What are your absolute non-negotiable baby purchases as a first time Mum?

Precut fruit
I got a protein tray from work. It was refrigerated when I bought it. It had 3 apple slices some peanut butter, nuts, and pasteurized cheddar cheese cubes. I didn’t think much of it of course until someone came and said I shouldn’t be eating that at 15 weeks due to the listeria risk and now I’m just sick to my stomach with anxiety.

Birth Certificate Advice
Question for anyone who has been in this situation. I’m legally married, but I do not want my husband listed on my baby’s birth certificate. I’m trying to understand what my options are in California and what steps I would need to take. Has anyone gone through something similar while still legally married?
