Constantly attached

Anyone else finding it absolutely exhausting just being constantly attached to your baby? Literally cleaning one handed or having an audience to watch you shit, eat and shower? Feel like I don’t get more than 5 minutes away from him at the moment

I'm in the same boat🥲 won't let me put him down. Occasionally I'll get lucky and have 5/10 minutes to run around without holding him. Even if my partner takes him to give me a break it only lasts 2 minutes as he'll cry and scream till he's passed back to me😆 hopefully this separation anxiety fizzles out soon as my back can't take much more

No child has ever been harmed by crying put them down somewhere safe (travel cot, playpen, cot) and have a minute. It does them no harm and most of the time they will calm down.

How can I leave

Few months ago I found out my fiance cheated on me during my pregnancy and even after not even a month after I had my second baby with him. I really don’t think I can stay with him after this betrayal during my most vulnerable time when I should be enjoying motherhood and my babies. I just don’t know how to leave for good. I keep pushing and pulling and I’m scared I’m going to regret my decision if I leave him. Does this get better? How can I feel confident in my decision to leave? 💔😔

It’s my birthday and I have no friends.

It makes me so sad. It’s so hard to keep up with a full time job, my son, the endless tasks, my relationship, my ill parents, no village, no help. I had a close best friend I grew up with, but she went through a major life change in the past year and hasn’t been the same for a while.

It’s hard to feel insignificant when I feel alone so often. It’s hard to see others have friends and people they can be themselves around. I want it so badly.

Just a tearful vent. Thank you if you have taken the time to read it.

Flying when 24 weeks pregnant

Hi all, looking for some tips and advice. I need to fly for work to Germany so short haul with Lufthansa.

Am wondering if anyone else flew around this time and whether you were ok without a fit to fly note? I won't need one as I'll be before 28 weeks but wondering if anyone had difficulty proving this with the airline?

Don't want to pay for a private NHS fit to fly letters (my GP doesn't do them!) when I don't need one but also worried they won't believe me that I'm only 24 weeks (I'm quite big as it's my second!).

Did you notify the airline in advance? Wondering if I need to for any help with my bag or is this done at check in, or not done at all!

Any advice appreciated! Many thanks.
