Universal credit

Does anyone know how to report pregnancy to universal credit online? Was told to report a health change but when I click on it, it asks a few irrelevant questions about illnesses and ongoing conditions, but nothing about pregnancy, it’s driving me insane🤯 I’m currently working so only receive top up when I don’t work enough hours which is rarely ever, not sure if that makes a difference

Just write it in your journal, you can’t report a change till the baby’s born, they should get back too you

I put it on my journal a couple weeks ago. Work coach replied a day later and booked me appointment at the job centre just to take my mat b1 form in to them and that was it.

I put it on my journel because the change circumstances bit was irritating me and they gave me a link to uploads my MatB1. You can also claim healthy start card from 10 weeks pregnant so make sure you apply online if you haven't got one or email them with your MatB1 x

Cheating man

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and my man has been cheating on me since I was 16 weeks pregnant. I am getting fat and he doesn’t want to have seks with fat people. He says he loves me and that’s Just casual seks without meaning and he is bored most of the time. But he has multiple dating apps, random girls on Snapchat and instagram. He currently is in Spain for work with a friend and he is also going to have seks with woman there. He says it will become less or stops when our daughter is born. But I don’t know what to do or feel. I just love him so much.

Should I Get Over It?

I met my BD August 2024 and found out I was pregnant February 2025. few days after I found out I was pregnant, I went through his phone and saw him flirting online with strangers. I had caught him a couple months before that on a dating app and thought that was behind us. I was angry and still tried to work things out after he begged and swore it wouldn’t happen again. I was 30 weeks pregnant when I caught him on Tinder again. To my knowledge he’s never physically cheated but I still count what he did as cheating. I crashed all the way out on him and at 7 months postpartum, we’re not together anymore because I’ve been giving him hell about it. But I admit, I’ve been allowing my rage to get the best of me and he told his family about it. His mom and sister told me that because it wasn’t physical then it doesn’t count as cheating and it has really put a bad taste in my mouth about them. They’re really cool people outside of that though and they help out so much. Way more than my own family. His mom and sisters want me to move 8 hours away to be closer to them so they can help me out more with the babies (I have 7 month old twins) My BD is in the Army and deploying soon so I’ll have no physical support at all if I stay here. Should I let it go and accept the help?

Not feeling connected to baby

I just had my second baby a little over 3 weeks ago and I don’t feel connected to him like I did with my first. Almost instantly with my first (girl) I felt this like insane connection to her and I still feel that way. This time around I do not feel that way. Don’t get me wrong I love my baby boy but is there something wrong with me for not feeling connected or bonded to him like I did with my daughter? Tell me I’m not alone… I feel awful for feeling this way. 😞

Anyone interested in a gc?

A chill laid back chat with the only rule being not to ignore babies if you see the pic. We would love some new mamas to get to know🥰

Baby shower dilemma

So for my baby shower IV sent out an invite along with my registry to all guests, as I’d never show up to a baby shower or any kind of party empty handed even for party’s if I don’t really know the person well I’ll get them a large bottle of alcohol or a candle or gift card, I would litterly never show up empty handed to any kind of party.

So I’ve sent out the invite and registry to all my friends and family, when it was my husbands turn to send out the invite and the registry he was against sending the registry and didn’t like the thought of asking people for gifts.

I told him it’s not so much asking for gifts it’s more a guideline because inevitably people will want to buy a gift and I don’t want anyone spending their money on something I won’t use as it’ll just gather dust.

My registry is full of very cheap £5 to more pricey £67 gifts so everyone has a general idea of what to get me whatever their budget is.

My husband has proceeded to invite people who barley know us and not sent them the registry and said he’s not sending it because they don’t really talk, and he doesn’t like the thought of asking people for gifts my issue is, if you “don’t really talk” whyyyyyy would you invite them to such an intimate event as a baby shower?!!

Tell me do you agree with me or my husband?
