Very attached to my partner

Hello I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I’ve noticed I’m very clingy to my partner recently. He doesn’t mind at all. But if I get home before him I’m just sad and not interested in doing anything and I’ll wait for him to come home. I need us to go to bed at the same time, I get panicky if I wake up and he’s not there. We both work and that’s fine for a distraction but I start my day on a count down till we’re both home, and I have count downs for our next days off together. I also don’t relax until he’s next to me.

It’s very weird because I’ve never been like this our entire relationship but the further I get through the pregnancy the more I’m attaching myself to him. Again he doesn’t mind at all and if he wants to go see his friends ect I don’t make a fuss but he now tries to see his friends on my night shifts after I’ve gone to work so he can spend as much time as possible with me.

Like I don’t even think it’s a problem it’s just I don’t know if it’s normal 😅

Same thing happened to me during pregnancy. I’m an affectionate person especially if my partner makes me feels safe and reciprocates. But with my pregnancy I’m definitely a lot more clingy. Are you having a girl? The women in my family say it is very common to experience that kind of attachment to your spouse when you’re having a girl.

Also knowing how happy my partner has been about this pregnancy and supportive has made me fall in love with him even more. That could be it as well.

ohh we are having a girl ! I’ve never heard of that before. Yeah my partners been so amazing during the pregnancy and he’s so excited I love it! He’s even took a job that he works one day less so he can have more time with us.

I’m the same way! I’m having a boy though lol, but usually I’ll even tag along when he hangs out with his friends, but he usually doesn’t mind at all

I was the same way while pregnant, and even more so since giving birth last week. He has become my primary source of comfort since giving birth.

I was gonna say the same thing lol I was like that too and I was having a girl so I think that is true☺️

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
