Partner has pretty much lost interest in sex since I got pregnant

It's been 3 and a half months.. he says he still fancies me and smacks my butt and grabs my boobs but says there is just nothing going on down there.. he's said it's his antidepressants and it happens sometimes but we used to have sex constantly.. I'm just worried he's gone off me cause of the baby... Has this happened to anyone else?

Me and my finacè are also experiencing this! I’m just into my second trimester and we are used to having a really great sex life, however since I’ve been pregnant I feel he hasn’t initiated as much. Quite the same, he still fools around in the kitchen etc and says I’m beautiful and he loves me multiple times a day! He knows I’ve had alot of issues with sickness and feeling ‘full’ and acid reflux’y’ so I think he’s trying to be mindful of that and not seem ‘pushy’! I think intimacy can change a lot in pregnancy specially when the symptoms are kicking your ass 😆 we’ve had a chat about it and agree that we are a bit disconnected on that front butttt I am growing a human 😅
It can be so tricky though to navigate emotionally!!

Trans-persons

As a Christian, disagreeing with the trans lifestyle due to religious beliefs, should I use their preferred pronouns? I don't want to push them away and obviously the most important part is they don't know Jesus. He said "come as you are". But I don't want to affirm the life style either. I'm conflicted. My sibling is dating a trans person and I'm just lost on what to do and don't know where else to ask.

Rant about leaving work !!

So, I had two previous children before meeting my partner and didnt want more children. I raised them basically on my own whilst working. I met my now fiance who is amazing and we decided we wanted a 3rd. I however said if I was to have another baby now I want to enjoy it and be able to focus on being a mum and not juggling too many things like work aswell as I had a busy job. My partner is more then happy to support us as a family and is amazing. Im not 17 weeks and left my job just before the summer holidays as we were moving anyway and it just felt like the right time as I worked term time.
The amount of people the are gobsmacked when I tell them im not working now im focusing on my baby and my older kids and being the home maker.
Like the look of confusion!
What's wrong with mums being mums and not carrying a million things at once?
Especially since my fiance is happy to look after us all financially.
Im a modern woman ive juggled ive done it all independently but whats actually wrong with traditional roles too these days.

It's making me feel subconsciously guilty. 🤔

Going back to work

Am loosing it

I will be resuming back to work soon
Myself and my partner works full time
I work day shift and he does night shift
Now my partner is saying , he won’t be able to look after the baby while I am work cos he needs the day to himself to catch up with his sleep
He is insisting we take her to a daycare during the pay and that we must spilt the cost of daycare 50/50

It is reasonable or I am just overthinking ?

Bank account

I’m wanting to open a savings account for my little girl and was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what’s best? I’ve done some research and have an idea of what I might go for but there may be people on here more wise with these things, who may have good tips so just want to double check before I commit to anything 😅 TIA x

Friends

I’m looking for a friend I’ve tried baby groups and no one will talk back to me and I’m trying desperately on here but yet no one answers I just feel guilty that my baby doesn’t see anyone
