Lone parenting

Hi everyone so this time sadly I’m completely alone in pregnancy
Dad doesn’t want to know so it’s just me
My other children (different dads) as with their dad as I cannot look after them as I’m bedbound
I’m currently going through a breakup with a narcissist and it’s just hell on earth right now

That with the sickness on top I just don’t know what to do :(
I have nobody to help and I mean nobody
I have anti sickness meds from the hospital but still can’t look after myself
I’m 9+5 and this is so miserable and lonely :(

Having a hard time finding friends

Been having a hard time finding friends or people who have things in common or share a good vibe with a lot of small talk that goes no where

Announcing pregnancy

Been arguing with my husband all evening over this. 13 weeks pregnant with our 2nd and I’ve felt very anxious to announce it as I know reactions 2nd time around can be so different to the 1st. But having told my boss this week I felt like I was ready. Got some lovely photos of my 1st born today for an announcement photo ready to put up this weekend. Told my husband and he said not until end of next week when I’ve told my work. He is adamant he needs a private meeting with his boss to tell him before we announce, and that he needs to speak to HR. I don’t recall him doing this with our 1st and I don’t get why he thinks it’s important when for him nothing affects him until baby is born and he goes on paternity. I now feel like my little bubble has burst and I’m so disheartened, I don’t even want to announce it now. He knew I was telling my boss this week and that my plan was to announce it this weekend

Current sex state

Once I was pregnant till now (6 months postpartum) we had barely have sex. I dont feel any lust. The sex with my husband has been kind of boring in comparisson with past experiences. But he is close minded and I reslly eould like to start with toys during sex but he is so close minden and thinks he is not good enough if I want toys. But it is to heaten up a little and yes in some sort of way it gets me more in the mood or exciting. We dont have any sex toys at home, I had one but he didnt like it so i throwed it away... Any similar situations? Any recommendations on how to talk with him?

Discussion: Chat GPT for therapy

I was having a particularly bad day and looking online for therapy when I filled out an application forms for a therapist and one of the questions was do you use chat GPT for therapy!? I initially was like wtf.. thats mad! then in the depth of the night when I was super sad and broken I did it...it actually was pretty validating, but I still find it mad that we have got to this point.. im also aware of how much ai effects water etc I was just having a really low moment. What do you all think about this?

This is so hard

All of it. I’m in week 8 and I feel like it’s Groundhog Day. I love my kid, I love his face, but I’m so tired. I didn’t know how hard this could be. My kid is tough, they’re not a unicorn baby by any means.
I’m doing everything I can. I’m so anxious, so worried.. I just wanted to come on here and vent.. even if you just “like” this post in solidarity… I won’t feel like I’m feeling this alone.
