Crying at strangers
We have reached a point where my baby cries at strangers. Cried at the doctor, a random man in a cafe and just been to a family gathering and she cried at pretty much anyone she didn't really know. Anyone else's baby like this?

Mine just went through that lasted not even a month its normal xx
Yes, he always stares at people - everywhere, restaurants, shops, post office etc - and then cries when they try to talk to him! š
Yup mine did it to his nan that he sees nearly every weekend and the doctor and his uncle (but then his never really liked his uncle) hahaha xx
My three year old did this today šš so I'm hoping the phase doesn't last too long for my baby! If it's any consolation I think it's a milestone in their review, as it shows they know who their caregivers are
Yup! Even cries at some family šš

Autistic Husband
I need advice! My husband is 36 and was diagnosed with autism less than a month before we found out I was pregnant. Also has adhd (which he has known since high-school). He/we self diagnosed him several years ago and have kinda always had suspicions but it wasn't official till this year. But this whole pregnancy I've been struggling with feeling like his new diagnosis, problems and changes are more important or like bigger than the changes im going through. I cant loose my sh*t, or get irritated, or experience really any pregnancy hormonal emotions that are irrational. And can only be explained through pregnancy hormones. Hes very literal, always has been, but now more than ever. He wants/needs an explanation for EVERYTHING and its exhausting. His anger has been a hot topic recently too. Hes never been abusive toward me. He just expresses anger very vocally. He doesn't scream in my face. But like makes angry grunts, loud huffs if that makes any sense. And basically says outloud everything his thinking. Making the other person feel like everything is their fault and they are responsible and almost like they did it on purpose. Even if their not at fault or it was an accident. Afterwards he will apologize and say he wasn't mad at me and just mad at the situation. But the damage has already been done and being pregnant and hormonal im usually crying. Which doesn't help anything. He claims I dont understand autism and what hes going through and how big of a life changing thing this is. And feels like I dont understand or support what hes going through because a few times I've mentioned that it feels like hes using the diagnosis as an excuse sometimes. I worry the way he processes anger will be confusing to our daughter and that a young child won't fully understand that daddy isn't mad at her. He says he just needs to freak out and work through the emotions when hes upset. But hes so vocal I feel like thats confusing for a kid.
Sorry, that was a very long rant. But if anyone has any tips on how to navigate a newly diagnosed autistic partner it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Is anyone in any form of routine?? I am struggling with the nighttime part. We get to 8pm and he just cries constantly but canāt seem to settle him to sleep. Usually he goes to bed around 10.30pm.

Feeling sad and lost
My ex partner left me at 38 weeks, just before baby was born at 38+4, weāve been living a lie since playing happy families in front of his family and itās killing me, the rug was pulled from under me and blindsighted as I never envisioned us ever splitting up and Iām absolutely heartbroken, had babies first family visit out today and itās broke me mentally, Iāve been sobbing begging her dad to love me, asking if we can still try again cause he told me it was a ābreak not a breakupā I feel in limbo, he wonāt communicate. I donāt want my poor baby to be alone without her dad, her dad and me were the endgame and I cannot ever imagine having another person in her life to replace him. And for me Iāve lost my partner and heās the only one I want to turn to, I feel so broken having no affection whatsoever or even anyone to talk to, I donāt really have any friends or anything and I genuinely just need a hug idk how else to cope, does anyone have any ideas of how I can sort my mental out, Iām just so sad and trying to stay strong while raising a baby who isnāt even a week old, Iām exhausted and just feel like the emotions sooner or later are gonna play catch up and catch me off guard when I least expect it. I donāt wanna burnout ):

8 week jabs
My baby had his jabs on Thursday and has been unsettled since - I know obviously thatās to be expected to some degree, but it seems as though his whole personality has changed, he was happy before and now he just constantly cries when awake isnāt happy being held - he wriggles around and canāt stay still.
Has anyone else experienced similar and when does it pass?
