Is it normal to resent your baby daddy?

This is my first pregnancy with my current boyfriend and I understand it’s the hormones everyone keeps talking about. But why do I feeel like he’s giving me the ick even when he tries … I’m literally finding any reason to argue with him and bring up old things and I’m just curious is that my gut telling me I should I leave him? …any one feeling the same or has actually left the father of their child while pregnant ?

It’s a thing. But if your having like questions of if it’s your intuition or not I’d take a bit of a longer look at those possibilities. Always best to trust yourself, especially when your body is doing the most magical thing ever; creating new life

No don’t leave (Unless you have something else not mentioned in here)! Your hormones are so high right now!
I was the same exact during my pregnancy, anything my husband did would just make me so angry/would annoy me😅 but once my baby came out It was back to normal! I don’t feel that way anymore!

I believe if you have a good man and you love him, he's not gonna "give you the ick" pregnant or not

Yes!! I absolutely hated mine the WHOLE time I was pregnant and all he did was try to be nice comforting etc.. everything he did made me upset my family kept telling me I was being mean I couldn’t help it I had an “eww” feeling didn’t want to be around him didn’t want him touching me NOTHING!! I just gave birth to our daughter 3 days ago and instantly I stopped having the resentment feeling.. it’s sooo weird now I want to be around him I want home touching me cuddles everything I hated while pregnant. I have no idea why that happens but it goes away soon as baby comes. My whole pregnancy I tried to reason with my self on being “nicer” and etc but nothing would work until baby came.

Honestly normal I even used to have this pit in my stomach and irritation with him like disgust I wanted to leave but I didn’t and it tend to get better along the way

Well I hated the fact I got pregnant by him because I had already cut him off. My whole family told me to just try hes a good guy blah blah blah. I tried somewhat I guess but I was always still never 100% in. I turned out to be right! He ended up being with somebody when 7 months pregnant left me and my son when he was 6 months and now is with that girl and she's pregnant! Haha so if u have a bad feeling cuz of things hes done then trust your gut. If ur just starting to hate him since being pregnant its most likely the hormones lol

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

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 ☺️
