Feeling defensive and sensitive. Need some reassurance.

The "in-laws" are desperate for me to go round to theirs (I'm tired and too hot and just don't want to socialise). They go on about money and plans and I'm just not in the mood for it or a grilling. I feel guilty for feeling like this and I don't want to grumpy when I'm there, I know they don't mean any harm. I just cba putting on a smile and doing small talk 😅😅 Does anyone else get like this? I feel bad for even writing this here but I feel like I'm on my own and its giving me bad anxiety.

It’s okay to have boundaries. It’s also really selfish of them to expect a pregnant women to even go outside in this heat there’s literally amber and red warnings in the country

Has your nursery given you any indication of closing during this week’s predicted extreme weather (if you’re in an impacted area)?

Help me- heat/MIL

What are we doing with our babies in this heat 😭
Baby girl is only 19days old.
I have my mother in law here to help as my partner is now back travelling for work. But she’s wanting to go out and do things/shopping walking etc and I feel like it’s way too hot to take my baby outside, finding it hard to settle her unless we’re sat on the bed with the fan blowing and I’m also sweating like a pig even more so when breastfeeding her. Spitting up after her feeds. Pooing loads so need access to baby changing facilities wherever we go.

Also keep being asked if I need her to do anything but there is quite literally nothing for her to do.. absolutely love my MIL but I’m stuck

Unsure about pregnancy

Found out at just over 3 weeks I was pregnant with our 2nd and am now 5. Spent the last of these few weeks questioning if I really want to go ahead with it. I’ve got none of the excitement and happiness I experienced with our 1st. And even though this is a planned pregnancy I’m questioning everything about it working out, finances etc. bought a 3 bed house this year and I’m not overly happy with it as it’s too small and I can’t imagine there being 4 of us in it. I love the little life we have and everything mostly runs smoothly. My 1yr old is like my little best friend and I’d feel so guilty for him and I worry how the impact would be on him. I’ve got no one I can talk too as I’m scared to tell my mum as despite having 3 of her own she keeps trying to put me off having another yet so I don’t think I’d get the right support from her. My husband is excited and said he’d be gutted if we didn’t but supports me no matter what. I’m definitely not done at 1 and I want my lo to have a sibling. I’m so torn and confused 😫

Where do you take baby out on your own on weekdays?

We do 1 class a week (soon to be 2) but feel like i dont take him out enough. Where do you typically go every week?
