Loneliness in motherhood?

I've been craving breaks when I'm with my baby, but once I have a break I get so freaking lonely and don't know how to cope. Can anyone else relate?

I need a break often- makes me feel like I’m not cut out to be a mom to be honest - she’s only 5 weeks old - don’t feel the bond really … feels more like a chore ☹️

Wanting to get pregnant with my second child

My husband and I had sex while I was ovulating. He did finish inside me. My question is HOW likely is it to get pregnant for that? When I got pregnant with my 1st child we just had sex on a random Tuesday morning and didn’t think anything of it. I didn’t do any research I just continued with my life. I’m wondering if the stress plays a role in not getting pregnant? Also online says its under 40% likely hood of getting pregnant

Am I the only one?

I am sure I am not, and I don’t want to seem ungrateful because I’ve wanted this forEVER and struggled to convince. But it’s like my brain can’t catch up with the fact I am pregnant when I step on the scales? I am nearly 22 weeks and started at 9st 4 and I am now 10st 7-9 depending on time of day. I know it’s because I am growing a human, boobs are bigger, water, extra blood and so many other factors, but it’s like my brain can’t accept it? It feels so lonely and I feel so bad saying it 😓 - does anyone else feel similar?

Does your partner get excited?

Men can be strange but generally do most men get excited when they find out you’re pregnant? Mines negative about money, sleep, will it ruin our relationship? His brother even said today ‘ are you keeping it’ and he said ‘ think so’ I burst into tears. How should they be ? Thank you
