How's your sex life ??

Sorry for the personal question but since getting pregnant I feel like it's just one thing after another. First it was the nausea and exhaustion and then I was coming out on the other side but I'm still so tired (have a 4 year old and work), I started to get uncomfortable with things like heartburn or constipation and always have a headache at the mo. Then the hip pain started which can really hurt when I'm adjusting myself on the bed etc and I just never feel in the mood and quite frankly just don't want to be touched. But it's been about 5 months since we had sex 😬. I have done bits but not a lot and my partner just keeps going on about it and I feel bad. He just wants to be close again. But it's also annoying me because if for example it's half 8 and I say I'm going to bed he will come up and assume because it's early it's an invite when I'm just going to bed because I'm tired. He isn't pushy at all but he just doesn't understand how this can feel and I think it makes him feel insecure, like it's because I don't love him anymore when it's literally just me.

Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same or if you think I am being selfish for putting my needs before his all the time? It's not like I'm compromising I'm just saying no all the time!

I grew up in domestic violence and it's impacted the way I feel about myself and how I conduct relationships with others.

Am I being silly? (2 weeks PP)

I’m two weeks PP, my hormones are absolutely everywhere but am I being silly over this… so I was on the phone to my boyfriend before and he mentioned that his friend has booked somewhere for them to go out next week to watch England play and I didn’t say anything I just kept quite however I’m feeling it’s not very fair on me.. I’ve sacrificed so much, I’m exhausted, I haven’t had any freedom in months, and somehow he’s still able to have parts of his old life while mine has completely changed. There’s nothing wrong with him going out but all throughout my pregnancy he still enjoyed himself with his friends where I don’t know when I’ll find the time because my priorities are now her? I’m up every night doing the feeds which is my fault because I only showed him once and he never did it and I’m terrified of him getting her bottles wrong if that makes sense? like i always take over but being two weeks PP it’s now starting to get to me and i understand he’s back at work but I haven’t slept properly since when he’s been ok. He’s an amazing dad and I’m not criticising him but I want him to do more. What do I do my emotions are absolutely everywhere :(

Made redundant

So a month ago I received the news that only me will be made redundant and the process has been incredibly stressful but it is done, the company really rushed the whole thing before I was able to qualify for my statutory maternity pay, I’m now 26 weeks and concerned what I will be entitled to regarding maternity allowance, has anybody had a similar experience?

Any advice or help welcome, it’s a very sore subject for me still but want to know my options if there are any?

Would I be a bad mum?

So my partner wants to book a holiday for me and him no kids I’m all for it as it would be nice to have some us time. Our son is 18 months old. We never got the chance to go on a holiday just us because of how quick I fell pregnant after we made it official and the little money we had at the time. My step
Mum keeps telling me I’m being a bad other for wanting this. Our son will be left with either my mum or my partners mum so he’ll be looked after very well. But I just ding want to feel like a bad mum for leaving him for 4 nights in the uk while we are in Italy

Loneliness

I am currently 3 weeks PP with my second baby boy and really struggling with feelings of loneliness
I don’t really have any friends and so only have family and my partner for company
Just wondering if anyone wants to chat at all
