Cheated on during pregnancy

Has anyone else's partner cheated on them whilst you were pregnant? I'm starting to realise it's a lot more common than I thought.

If it has happened to you, how did you find out and what did you do.
If you haven't experienced this, what would you do if it did happen to you?

Im a girl who thought I'd leave a cheated partner ass the moment I found out as it's unforgivable, esp whilst pregnant. But I am sad to say I have found myself still with the partner, albeit him being very apologetic and sorry. I hate myself a little because of that.
LO is still a newborn, so maybe I'll change my mind in a few months.

@Sarah so sorry to hear that. I have no idea how some humans can be so selfish. It's unforgivable! How did you manage on your own? My biggest worry atm is being on my own with a newborn and the Financial aspect. I do work and earn myself but on mat leave atm and do not get a lot at all. There's also a house we just recently bought and having to think about trying to sell / move with a newborn is all too much for me !

@Kennedy oh yeah I totally agree with you. Its been 3 months since I found out and I'm still angry. I just need to find the strength to be true to myself, whenever the time is right !

Happened to me to when I was pregnant last year . Didn’t find out until a week postpartum and went into a very deep depression. I stayed because of false promises . Made me not love myself for that decision. I’m here to tell you , don’t believe the “very apologetic” , they’re not really sorry .They will show their real feelings when the fake sorry act is over. But you can try to work it out for your child and see if things really improve .Otherwise, just work on bettering yourself and figuring out something for you and your baby.

It hasn’t happened to me and honestly I don’t know what I’d do.
It’s easy to say ‘I’d leave his ass’
But no one knows your situation.

Personally I would like to say that I would leave him immediately but you just never know x

Hasn't happened to me but I would 100% leave. If he can do it whilst you are carrying his child and you stay he won't stop doing it in my personal opinion. There is a lot of things couples can work through but cheating is definitely not one of them. Either you will always feel not good enough or every argument you will bring it up as a top trumps for whatever you have done wrong will never be as bad as the cheating. It either ends up extremely toxic or will break down eventually any way in the majority of cases. It will be so very hard to begin with but you are strong enough to do this ❤️

I was cheated on during my first pregnancy. I really didn’t wanna believe it despite people literally showing me proof multiple times. I didn’t care I was so delusional i was willing to cut off my family for this guy. I was super young and so so dumb. That cheating problem than got worse, turned into drug problem and turned into an abuse problem. Im just glad I was able to get out and ending up meeting my husband who is just the complete opposite of my ex.

So sorry hear this!!!! Most men think with the head down there 👇 horrible. Me personally I know I’d turn cold 🥶. Sweet on the outside crunchy on the inside if I had to stay it’ll only be for gain. Whatever I can get help with until I’m on my own. Of course I wouldn’t make it obvious. Sex would be a hard NO for at least a very long time!! I’d get my groove back. Start dressing sexy, doing things you like (go to a coffee shop for hrs) etc clear your brain. Meet with supportive friends come up with a plan…

I was definitely done wrong although I’m not sure cheated on is the correct way of saying it for me. My partner went up to stay with a friend for a few days up Bournemouth. He got back and a while later we got into an argument and he was mad at me. He then sent me pictures and videos of him being heavily drunk and cuddling/close to a girl. One of the videos featured him screaming with her fuck Grace and how bad I am. It was awful I was already hormonal and it honestly made me have a serious breakdown. He said nothing more happened than that but it was really hard. Unsure what you should do as I’m currently with him lol

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.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

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 ☺️
