I’ve lost trust in my husband! Advice needed

I’m weeks away from giving birth to our second child and today was completing a birth plan with my husband. We were chatting about options etc and things seemed to be going ok. He is never the most serious and Is a poor joke teller or will try and make light of situations. He out of the blue said to me if it came down to me or our I born child he would choose our unborn child. I deep down would choose this option too however it floored me the fact that he said it. I mean he is supposed to be the one that is going to protect me and advocate for me and put me first during labour. It completely broke me that I mean that little to him that he would make such a serious decisions so flippantly. My mum is pretty much useless and I don’t have a Dad so I’m very reliant (rightly or wrongly) on my husband I feel very vulnerable and scared as my first birth was beyond horrific and I’ve been feel very emotional and all over the place atm. I just can’t believe he said it then was making me feel bad for not agreeing with him. It’s made me feel like I’m not a priority and very irreplaceable in his life and to be honest est I’ve completely lost my trust in him and don’t want him advocating for me during the birth at all. I don’t know if I’m being selfish by thinking this but I expected him to be there for me to protect me and idk am I not the love of his life? His soul mate? Should it be an easy decision to make? Am I wrong in being angry with him?

He hurt you deeply by seemingly so easily choosing the baby. He’s supposed to be distraught over the idea of losing you, not cold and matter of fact “I’d choose the baby”. Like wtf! Especially after your had a traumatic first birth. Like what the hell

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
