Angry at my husband

Hello mummies, just need to rant. I recently gave birth, and one day my husband came to the hospital with his mother. Shortly, the lactation consultant arrived, and we pulled the curtain over so the consultant could teach me how to breastfeed properly. Two minutes later, my husband opened the curtain and came in with his mother behind him. My husband did not know i was learning how to breastfeed inside but he should have walk out when saw it. The whole time, I was so uncomfortable because my MIL came so closely to watch with my nipple exposed. I was so angry with my husband. I want to hear from you mummies, how would you feel? Now, every time I see my MIL, I feel really awkward. Help i just could not get over this.

I had the same experience, only difference is I accidentally sent it to my mil instead (iPhone memories auto consolidated video 🥲) and I only realized after my husband told me (I sent it to him too). Context of video: My bf experience with baby latching then unlatching and milk drunk 😒. I just told myself…what I have she have also. Definitely feel awkward cause regardless my own mother or mil, for me, as long as they don’t bring it up or discuss about my nipples, I am fine with it. Overtime they will forget too. Give yourself some time to get over this, afterall it just happened and it happened on you so no doubt we will keep replaying it fresh in our minds with all the awkwardness. Mil might just be curious but she should have walked away immediately instead of still going so closely to watch while you bf. Speak to your husband about your feelings and that you don’t wish for the same incident to happen twice.

Understand and totally agree with how you’re feeling. Some men need to be educated in order to be more mindful. Speak to your husband. Your mil also senseless lah, she could have just turned away. So maybe it this bf is nothing to her.

Your husband probably didn't think much of it since your mil is a woman as well. Perhaps just let him know about how you feel about it so that he will understand

understand your feelings. maybe your hubby never think so much, sometimes hubby don't understand woman thinking, maybe you can have a word with him.

i also find it very odd... when i was bf, not only would my mom walk in on me but also my mil, like it's such a normal thing
