MIL

First time mom, due in a couple months. Advice on how to set boundaries with MIL who wants to be extra involved in babies life? Father of the baby doesn’t mind, but it’s too much for me. I need some more privacy and to be asked before helping / doing things for us and the baby.

Vvvvvfl or negative?

I’m 11 months PP and only had one period (end of Jan). No idea when I ovulated but I got fertile discharge later than I would have usually expected it so wondering if I ovulated later as my cycle is still resetting. Am I wishful thinking or is there a shadow of a line here? More pics in comments.
