Waiting until marriage but pregnant

My boyfriend and I have stopped having sex to grow closer in our relationship and honor God. With that said we decided to get married and plan for a wedding. What I didn’t know is that I was already pregnant! So three months goes by and we haven’t had any sex so imagine my surprise when I find out I’m pregnant. Now the goal was to get married and do right by God which is still on the table but we have decided to remain celibate until then . But I’m struggling bad pregnancy hormones are at an all time high any tips?

You can still go ahead with the wedding. So baby is born in wedlock.
Doesn’t have to be anything big. A civil ceremony should be enough.

God is merciful and doesn’t hold our misgivings against us.

Its smart to make like fast wedding in that position and later plan bigger wedding. For your mental peace, but how you want you can do!

The only sins He can’t forgive you for, and those that you first can’t forgive yourself for.

Give yourself grace, you’re doing right by getting married anyway. You can’t change what you didn’t know.

God knows your intentions to marry 🤗❤️ show yourself some grace.

Going back to work

Hi Mummas! Has anyone tried coming back to work after a year of parental leave but as soon as coming back to work your body shuts down (health wise) as if it knows subconsciously that you’d prefer to be a SAHM?

Am i being unreasonable?

Back story is i have been with my parner for 7 years now, had has 2 kids from a previous relationship boy aged 14 and girl aged 16, his teenage girl lives with her mum and rarely comes round, she wants nothing to do with the baby no matter how much my partner trys to push a bond (i can see her giving the baby weird looks with zero attempt to play or talk to the baby)
However my partner has booked us all to go to scotland for the weekend to visit his brother and he is expecting me to pay for his daughter for the whole trip whilst he pays for his son, i get the whole splitting the cost but i do pay for most of the babies stuff out of my wages whilst also splitting the bills down in half so i put my side to why he should pay for both of his kids and im happy enough to pay for myself (the trip wasnt my idea at all, if anything im not really wanting to go with a 3 month old baby because he doesnt wanna take the pram and he is expecting me to spend everyday walking around with the baby in the carrier) but here we are not picking a argument because it makes him happy.
Sorry for the rant but am i being unreasonable for not wanting to pay for his daughters whole share of the trip?

HELP!!!

I’m so frustrated I’m trying to be considerate but it’s getting ridiculous at this point . I’m not used to being in a relationship where a man has 10,000 excuses as to why he’s not having sex with me . And at this point I’m starting to get to a point where I don’t even want him to touch me . It’s been literally a month since we’ve done anything sexual . He’ll tease me but not do anything and that makes me even more mad . I’m really starting to believe he’s a narcissist and he’s using sex to control me bc I’ve been keeping track of the dates and it’s only after we fight or when he needs it . He said before the problem is I don’t initiate but really how I’m supposed to do that when first I don’t feel attractive bc I’m 8 months pregnant and second you give off bum energy don’t want to do anything fun but play around and complain about how you have to work all the time and your tired . I don’t know what to do anymore besides just let the connection fade bc at this point he’s my roommate and I’m starting to resent him . Please help

When in Vegas 🙃

My partner was in Vegas and went to a strip club with his colleagues one night. I told him I don’t prefer him to do that, and when I found out he did - because he didn’t tell me - I was upset and felt so disappointed in him. He said all his colleagues wanted to go so he joined, but ladies - am I valid in being super upset with him? I pretty much ignored him the rest of the night, I feel grossed out.
