I paid around £100

from where? And why are you paying. I don’t understand why I’m paying if he’s asking for it

Paternity for life, (honestly might have been cheaper) I found them through the gov website so they’re government approved!
I paid because we broke up and I slept with someone else and then we got back together and I then fell pregnant. I always knew it was his based off of dates but I brought one to put his mind at ease.
People think it’s a scam because results take ages but it’s not. DNA testing isn’t as simple and takes longer. I got my results in about 3 weeks

If he wants one, he should be paying x

If he wants one he should be paying. But if you just want to get through him using that as a power move you could just crack on and get it done to force him to take responsibility. You don’t want this dragging on for years.

Yh he’s the one asking for one

If he wants you to have it then he will have to pay

If you claim child support. He will them have to dispute it and pay for the dna test. Friends just been through similar.

thank you Ellie

Does it carry any risk to baby if I got this during pregnancy? I’m reading mixed things

okay thank you

If he wants the paternity then he has to pay 🙄 but on average its around £100 xx

If you need a legal one it’s around £350

legal? All he wants is to see the baby is 100% his it’s not for anything else x

Tell him to book one and to tell you the time and place 👍🏻

Legal ones meaning for court, if you don’t need it for court it’s less, £100

thank you Yh I’ll need the one not for court

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag
