Pregnancy and new mum support

Being pregnant or a new mum even a step parent can be difficult. Your life changes dramatically and there is always a doubt If you are doing it right or wrong.

This can be scary. So I am making this group as a support.

You can ask question, whether it's about something in your pregnancy or if it's about your new born baby, even if you are feeling down or something isnt sitting right with you!

If you need a chat or you want some advice we will be here to help.

So let's get this group going :)

Morning sickness

I’m currently 9 weeks and

Everything smells so bad, I feel sick even looking at any type of food! But I have to eat because I’m not taking folic acid and no vitamins…

Pregnancy test results

Positive test yesterday - negative today

My period is due today, I’ve had two positive results, one faint line a few days ago and a strong positive yesterday - however when I tested again this morning it was a solid negative, this morning I used an ‘early detection’ test as that’s what I had left in the cupboard. Has anyone else experienced this before? Now I’m questioned whether I am actually pregnant or whether I’m just waiting on my period to arrive.

Bonding

My LO is one month tomorrow. Since his been born technically every day his with me. My husband went back to work day 2 due to being self employed and he doesn’t get paid time off. He does help on days he isn’t working and after work like feeding or changing or just having him in general. He will talk to him and have his hand stroking his back or head when I’m putting him to sleep. However only occasionally he will sleep for his dad otherwise he won’t go sleep for him we’ve tried and few minutes after I take him he will drift of majority of the time. He will happily take a bottle from him and hold his finger. But I feel terrible as I can see it hurts him and any chance we have my partner will have him even if I’m next to him etc. I know his only a month old and it hasn’t helped that I’m always there every day doing the feeds and everything else and the bond will come in time etc but is there anything I or we can do to make it easier for his dad etc if that makes sense. I hate knowing at the moment that our LO is wanting me more.
