Carseat installed

Hospital bag set
Baby clothes/nursing bras washed
I think I did this around 36 weeks I was in no rush, since it was my third š
Everything else could wait

You'll be okay mama ā¤ļø the first few weeks babies sleep ALOT. I would prioritize getting the car seat installed and putting together a safe space for baby to sleep (i.e. bassinet or crib). Stock up on baby diapers/wipes and if your planning on formula feeding stock up on bottles and formula. We also used a TON of burp cloths at the beginning so those would be good to have on hand too. Also make sure you have postpartum supplies ready for when you get home. If your planning on a vaginal delivery I highly recommend using a peri bottle, witch hazel wipes, and dermoplast spray (these were provided to me at the hospital). I only had to buy myself adult diapers because I preferred them over the pads the hospital supplied.

Is your nursery done? Biggest thing is hospital bag, car seat, and at least access a diaper cart. It was my life line the first few weeks after birth
My husband works nights and sometimes heās gone all day and all night so itās just me and my eight month old. No one comes to visit even though his family lives close by and Iām just exhausted. He doesnāt sleep well overnight so Iām just constantly sleep deprived and now he is crawling and constantly just wants to get into everything that he shouldnāt have quite literally anything a fan and end table the dog bowls so if I put him in his playpen, I feel bad heās in the playpen for too long, but then I let him out and heās constantly just going for every single thing he shouldnāt have
I guess Iām just curious what everyone does when theyāre by themselves with their baby lately. I feel like Iām just getting depressed and Iām not cut out for this. Iām constantly just stressed and tired and also feel guilty that I get frustrated because heās just a baby heās also constantly pulling and wanting to stand on me and pinching me all of the time Iām touched out by the end of the day.
And to make it worse by two dogs who I loved very very much as soon as he was born I just canāt stand them the barking the getting in the way itās all just getting to be too much and I know I should be grateful for everything I have, but exhausted

My husband and I got married 5 days ago. We have been together for almost 5 years and have an 18 month old. 3 days ago he went through my phone and saw texts from the first year of our relationship with my ex. I continued communication with him and met up with him for drinks one night. Nothing happened between us. I cut communication off that same year. My now husband wants nothing to do with me. Iām absolutely gutted that a younger immature version of myself has ruined my marriage 3 days in. I donāt know what to do.
I love my husband and my family and I will do absolutely anything to save us. My husband had already said he wants nothing to do with me and doesnāt see this relationship worth saving because of it. I have no one to talk to about this because Iām embarrassed that we just had everyone together to celebrate our marriage and now less than a week later Iām talking about the end of it.
My behavior back then did not carry over into my relationship further. I said goodbye to my past and went into a beautiful relationship of learning, growth and love with my now husband. How do I come back from this especially for our daughter? she doesnāt deserve this, she doesnāt deserve to see me crying everyday and her dad absent in another room. The 3 of us were so close, did everything together now he canāt even look at me. Iām sick.

We were supposed to be going to my nanās today for her birthday.
My sister messaged this morning to say her kid was a bit poorly when they woke up this morning so we decided not to go.
Reason being, we donāt like putting our daughter in front of illnesses knowingly because she suffers enough with what she catches from nursery (sheās 25 months). This week all week Iāve avoided going into the office knowing a colleague of mine has been ill. Also
this month we lost over Ā£200 in our pay from unpaid time off because our kid couldnāt go to nursery so we had to stay home with her (who was made sick by their kid because they lied to us and said she didnāt have anything wrong when she had a stomach bug). Our family donāt help us out, not even with babysitting.
Our family are now treating us like the bad guys because we refused to go. They changed their minds about them being poorly after giving their kid medicine which was also after we said we werenāt going.
Were we in the wrong to protect our child and our finances? Weāre really struggling because of losing that money in this months pay and I have a car MOT coming soon where Iāve already had to forego the servicing because we canāt afford it. Weāve taken loads of hits in pay that we just canāt afford to do anymore. But also my depression and anxiety have really taken a toll this week so Iām on heightened alert for anything or anyone making my child sick.

I feel like such a bad mum lately š¢
I am 12 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I am absolutely exhausted all day everyday
I have no energy to look after my 16 month old, im constantly having to say no to getting up and playing with her as I feel sick and just want to lay down on the sofa.
Ive recently only started to get help from my MIL after having a conversation with her about not helping. My daughter goes to nursery 1 day a week for 3 hours which is good for her.
I just want to cry everyday and have this pregnancy be over already as ive had enough.
I dont get out the house much as there isnt anything in my area to do and publis transport is unreliable
My partner works long hours so hes gone from 6am til 7pm almost everyday.
Also our daughter now sleeps in our bed and doesnt go to sleep til we do as she hates her cot and cries if you try to put her in there at night so I dont get a break from her all day and evening.
I just dont know what to do anymore

Is it just me being silly or is this ridiculous, basically my boyfriend has always gone out with his mates on a night out dead early and I mean EARLY Iām talking like 2pm/3pm until the early hours of 3am and I had this argument with him that we have an almost four month old baby girl and that he should start thinking that itās a ridiculous time to go out and he agrees itās long but his mates have always liked doing that. This by all means doesnāt mean I have a problem with him seeing his mates or going out but when you have a baby whoās still tiny doesnāt it just seem absolutely absurd??? Like when can I ever do that?? I donāt do at all, Iām probably being stupid but itās just bothering me as heās out now and Iām at home with our baby.
