Boyfriends breath makes me nauseous

I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and my boyfriends breath makes me want to throw up. Does anyone have any tips? It’s still awful even after he brushes his teeth or eats a mint.

Put some lemon essential oil on your upper lip? Lol

Have him eat something you love the smell of frequently?

Stop kissing him and talking within close proximity for a while / until your severe nausea and sensitive smell goes away + tell him sorry but🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

Oh! Maybe if he drinks water more often it will help? Lol idk

Maybe he has gingivitis! A trip to the dentist /hygienist maybe needed

his breath was fine till I got pregnant. Other than morning breath it never had a smell

Does he clean his tongue? Does he use mouthwash? If that doesn’t fix it, has he seen a dentist recently? He might need a cleaning or have some tooth decay that needs some work.

it could be that your smell is heightened and it might not be that bad , my dogs breath was killing me but my sister said it’s not bad , it’s your pregnancy nose lol . So could be that too

I had this the whole way through my pregnancy. I was like a blood hound 😅hated my husbands breath, just grinned and bared it. Now I've had my baby, it's gone! Xx

😂😂😂😂

My friend’s new partner……. I’m genuinely concerned! But i don’t want to say too much where she wont confine in me…..

My friend has met a guy and they’ve been together for approx 6 months now.
Her daughter is 15 months.
He’s now moved in.
Her daughter’s dad is not around, but his dad keeps in touch.
This new partner is doing things such as giving her daughter coffee, hot chocolate, Coca Cola etc when she’s asked him not too.
Now when her grandad calls to check in, he’s storming off out and slamming the doors.
She come to the gym and he messaged her when she left the house saying ‘who are you trying to impress going to the gym dressed like that’ she had a long gym set on!!

Nursery costs

How much do you pay a month for nursery? And for how many hours?

Advice please - I need to approach work about asking for flexibility in school holidays

My little boy is due to start pre school in September and at the moment I work 3days a week but during the holidays I probably will only be able to get childcare for maybe 1 or 2 at the most.

How do I go about speaking to work, feel like im being such a pain asking?

Childcare for toddler during labour

For those of you who don't have any family or friends nearby enough to jump in to look after your older child, how did you manage labour and going to hospital to give birth? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but already stressing about it!

Childminder or nursery

I’ve noticed that most people in the UK talk about nurseries and how expensive they are, but hardly anyone mentions childminders. From what I understand, childminders are often more affordable, more flexible (for example, if you need to pick up your child a bit later), and they provide a more home-like environment.

They also usually involve a single main caregiver, which I feel can be really positive for attachment, especially for younger children.

So why don’t more people use childminders? Is there any stigma around them in the UK?

I’m asking because my baby goes to a childminder and I’m starting to worry—are they seen as a worse option? Personally, I see some downsides to nurseries too: they tend to be more expensive, and because there are many more children (often of different ages) in the same space, I feel like that can lead to a higher risk of illnesses spreading.

So I’m curious why nurseries seem to be the more popular choice.
