Life

I’m going through a lot lately. I’ve been dealing with infertility issues for the last two years. 7 losses and 2 ectopics. Finally in an ivf clinic doing millions of tests to see what could be causing this. My partner who I’ve been with for 10+ years was supportive - until he wasn’t.

I have found so far I have APS, waiting on the screens for lupus. It’s making sense now.

I’ve always been in pain and sick. He knows this about me, but I get hounded about it from time to time. Lately, it seems all we do is fight. I ask for him to be more affectionate, more caring and understanding. He tells me I’m lazy, fat and unattractive. He calls me names. He screams. And I’m so tired.

I feel like I’ve waisted my youth and fertility on a man who doesn’t even like me most days. It’s really hard to come to this conclusion. I’m really sad. I’m angry. My heart is broken.

I’ve been a sty at home mom and I don’t have much to my name. He’s threatening to leave me all the time and that he’ll take everything and our two kids. I’m afraid it will happen. I’ve been searching for jobs every day and applying and I’ve had a few interviews but nothing solid has worked out. I feel defeated, I hate myself and if I didn’t have my kids, I would have killed myself by now. I literally fantasize about dying it’s so sad but I just can’t see myself living another 40-60 years like this. I have no friends and no family. There’s no one in my corner and I’m just so far in a hole that I can’t even get myself out of. I feel like the biggest fucking loser. I feel like I wasted my life. I feel so incredibly alone. I wish I was dead.

I’m so sorry you’re going through all this, just know you are soo valuable, important and beautiful. Its hard when life throws a 100 things your way but i promise you will see it through.

I had a perfect first pregnancy and a beautiful daughter but ever since my loss i can always feel that dark cloud above my head and its horrible. I cant imagine your pain but you are not alone. Not at all.

If your partner can’t see the value you hold, as a partner, as the mother of your kids, he does not deserve you. You hold so much value and anyone that cant see that isnt worth your time.

Prioritise you, your health and your babies. Focus on what makes you feel good. I really hope your situation changes and know you can message me anytime

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
