RANT NEEDED ! PISSED OFF WITH BABYDAD

He went work today... which I appreciate because its the weekend and hot and he spent it making more money for the month.

I'm 8 months pregnant with a 19 month old - today I took her food shopping with me, and went for a little drive... but for the rest of the day we just played indoors.. Read books and watched TV. I felt knocked out today - I physically don't have any energy.

Obviously I wanted to go out with the baby and enjoy the sun but I'm heavy now and it's difficult. I'm always tired - with gestational diabetes.

My partner comes homes and critises me - telling me I SHOULD be taking her out and it's no excuse. Saying that if he was home, he would of made sure they was outside playing in the sunshine.

Just made me feel proper shit.

I'm trying... I'm doing my best... I can't help it if I don't have energy. I really can't explain how low I feel.

He has pissed me off and made me feel mum guilt.

He obviously doesnt understand the energy your body is going through to grow your human baby tbh i wouldnt take any notice of him youve done your best its hot out and im 6 months struggling with this heat just need it to do one now tbh girl your doing a wonderful job dont let him bring you down xx

That exhaustion of the 3rd trimester is something else without having a toddler to also look after. While pregnant I worked and I also came home to my step daughter who is turning 2 soon and I did not want to take her outside by myself in the third trimester.

It's not just being another level of tired, but also you can't move as fast if they run off or something. Especially if you were sitting in the ground with them, no way would I be moving fast enough to catch her if something happened.

As long as she had fun and enjoyed her time with you that's what matters be it inside or out

😘 thank you. Needed this x

@Reese exactly this !... just constantly tired. Running after my little one isn't easy - I feel like I can't keep up with her sometimes. It's really difficult.

I'm just tired of feeling judged all the time. X

He also hasn’t been pregnant before lol. What a loser. I would’ve told him that’s good for him.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
