Pregnancy scans

Might be a tmi sorry

I’m 12 weeks 2 days pregnant today and I’ve got my 12 weeks scan tomorrow🤞 I haven’t been intimate with my boyfriend since I found out I was pregnant I guess because I’m scared because this is my third pregnancy and my previous 2 pregnancies have ended badly☹️ I had a small sch at about 6 weeks that cleared up. By 8 weeks and I’ve had no bleeding or pain since. My last scan was at 10 weeks 5 days and baby was healthy🥹 Is it safe to be intimate (sorry I’m just so scared of something bad happening with baby)

Baby movement

How are we calming down when we’re over stimulated but our baby needs us in that moment.

Like I have my breathing exercises but I think I’m needing some more serious techniques or something

Weight

Okay so on the picture it shows that she was at 25th percentile but that was a time that they weighed her with clothes on so it was a messed up weight. So she’s mainly stayed around 10th percentile. She’s always eating and she eats very well. Breast feeds quite often and have started her on lactose free milk. Her doctor claims that she underweight but I don’t see how. Her 9m she didn’t weigh down her swing. She could still use it but now she can’t use it cuz it doesn’t swing. She feels heavier to carry around. I feel like she’s following my body stature. Both me and her dad are small and slim and have high metabolism. So she is like us. Not to mention she was tiny when she was born she was around 6.6 and went down to 5.13. So I don’t get why she’s being called underweight. She hasn’t lost weight at all. I even asked her doctor what I could do to help her gain a little weight and all she did was criticize me in a round about way.

Family

Jealousy

Hey just kinda want to rant. So my son is the first grandchild and great grandchild in my husbands family. Because of the boundaries i set with my husbands mom wanting to call her girlfriend of 2 years at the time grandma for my son. I told her that she will not be recognized as his grandmother, same as my husbands father’s girlfriend won’t be called grandma. I don’t know if these people will be permanent in my son’s life, so i rather keep biology at biology and prevent my son from losing a “grandma”. They didn’t like what i had to say, or that fact that i will raise my children religiously. Never once did i say we’d disrespect anyone, but they took it as disrespect. I was then told lots of shit by my sister in law and her mothers girlfriends daughter. I was told i was brainwashing my husband into my views, i was shat on for my religion, and called many things. After this they stopped talking to me, and we invited them to my son’s baptism but they lied they would be on vacation so they wouldn’t show up.

my sister in law is now pregnant and she only invited my husband and my son because she doesn’t want to be anywhere near me. I’ve seen her in public and have just been completely ignored, even when i was with my son.

my husbands mom doesn’t even want to refer to me by name

well now i’m jealous that my sister in laws baby will get more love and attention than my children, mind you im pregnant with our second child and not once has his mother or sister checked up on me or the baby. Only congratulating my husband for being a father.

i’m sad and mad and i have so many emotions but what affects me more is that my children won’t get that kind of love from my husbands family because of his mother and or myself.

i just don’t know what to feel anymore

Feeling alone

Just venting but lately it feels like life has gotten so on top of me that it feels like there’s no point in trying anymore I have 3 small kids 6 2 and 1 after almost 3 years my last relationship came to an end due to drugs abuse and gun violence I just really feel like things may never get better especially job wise now I have no support system as far as family and friends I don’t really know where life is taking me at this point but I feel depression creeping in everyday I have 30 days before I become homeless and income tax is still on hold I don’t know what I’m going to do but all I can do is hope for a miracle
