Pregnant low mood

I’m 18 weeks with my second baby and over the last couple of weeks I’ve had days where my mood has been so low and almost depressed. Emotional and can’t stop crying. Today at work I had to take myself away and just broke down in tears for no particular reason. Everything just feels heavy and difficult. I didn’t ever get days like this in my first pregnancy although that was with a boy and I am now expecting a girl so I don’t know if it’s hormones. I’m really exhausted and burnt out and it’s horrible feeling like I’ve got such a big black cloud hanging over me. I don’t have any holiday to use at work and my husband is suggesting I should just call in sick tomorrow to allow myself time to rest and be by myself but I’d feel so guilty doing that especially as it would mean a day unpaid

Car seats

What the fuck is that.
Looks like no seat belt, just some bar thing, and a kid that’s small enough to be rear facing in a forward only car seat?? Someone tell me there’s more to this and it’s not as crazy as it looks

Plane seat purchase

Why are we having to pay extra for seats?! I really can't afford to add any more on to the expense. So I'm going to check in, and hope we are next to each other. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children.
How likely is it that we will be split - and staff care enough to give seats together? Please let me know if this has happened to anyone. I really can't be adding £300 more just for tickets.

Breastfeeding or screaming - no in between

When it comes to our late afternoon and evening feeds, we seem to hit the same problem; he just won’t unlatch! Baby boy is 5 weeks and will just chew on my nipple, I assume to soothe, and if I ever try to take him off he screams. He’ll even be falling asleep and still hates it, and then won’t sleep at all!

Any one experienced something similar and know how to work around this? I’m sore and need a small bit of my evenings back!

Sleep training tips

Can anyone share how you sleep trained your babies without letting them cry it out? My LO is currently almost 5 months but absolutely refuses to fall asleep on his crib on his own.

Period has come back!

To my surprise my period came back today!😭 Little bit concerned as I’m only 8 weeks post c-section and my baby is breastfed other than 2 feeds at 8pm and 12pm. Has anyone else got their period back yet? I was expecting another good few months!

Snoring

How do I stop a man snoring so I can actually sleep for once please. If he goes to sleep first I am fucked essentially. I’m so fed up I’m exhausted. He’s so loud it’s concerning but the doctor just keeps saying take antihistamines 😭😭😭 yeah we’ve tried them dumb nose strips and all that stuff. Im also pregnant so the exhaustion is just hitting extra hard, I can’t cope with my toddler on one hour of sleep again after he’s left for work😭
