I’m pregnant with my second and my husband just told me about a work trip that JUST came up while I’m 33 weeks pregnant. He’ll only be gone for 2 days, but I’m feeling nervous about it. My first came at 35 weeks and I don’t feel comfortable being alone with our toddler for those two nights. My husband thinks its not a big deal but I’m thinking of inviting my parents to visit for support. Am I being overly paranoid?!

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and my husband told his bosses he could go because I was worried about it and I’ve had a few different scares so I totally get it.

I travel for work myself and it’s not always avoidable. As long as you get help those 2 days it should be okay imo.
My baby is 11 weeks old and I’m nowhere near ready to leave her with anyone (besides her dad), is this normal? Doesn’t anyone else feel this way? My in-laws make me feel like I’m being OTT😪

For months now our son constantly rejects my husband. By that I mean he literally runs away from him, hysterically cries when my husband holds him, hits my husband in the face when he tries to pick him up, doesn’t want to look at him, and a bunch of other ways of rejecting him.
I’m exhausted as I have to pretty much do everything to look after our son. My husband is really upset and hurt by being pushed away all of the time. It’s so hard for both of us.
Our son doesn’t do this with anyone else, he’s happy with grandparents, and other key people. This evening in a restaurant my son literally went up to a random lady and she picked him up and he nestled into her. My husband said seeing him do that with a stranger broke his heart as he tries so hard to make a bond with him.
Has anyone else had this? What can we do?
Husband tries to play with him, feed him, give him baths etc, and is very involved. Our son just doesn’t seem to like him.
Help and advice please! We are at breaking point 😭

I dont feel physically safe with my man when it comes to his family. They can say and do as they please to me and im just suppose to over look it. He always gets upset or try to down my feelings. Honestly, i dont like telling him stuff because then I feel like i have to prove myself to him for him to believe me.

I’m really struggling with ppd but my boyfriend is also really struggling with his mental health, he’s self harming, drinking more and I feel my relationship is falling apart because I’m constantly feeling guilty for feeling depressed and struggling around him. The other week we were speaking and he told me he couldn’t promise me he wouldn’t kill himself and that’s now a weight I carry around, I feel like every time I go to sleep he hurts himself therefore making me feel awful about sleeping, resulting in me constantly being exhausted because I never get a good nights sleep out of fear of him doing something. It’s not his fault I know but I’m really struggling, I just want things to be ok again. I don’t want to lose him, I love him so so much it hurts. I can’t talk to my mum about it because usually I talk to her if I’m struggling but if I talk to her about him she then comes off really angry towards him and I understand she cares about me and just wants to protect me but I hate feeling like she hates him because her opinion matters so much to me. I don’t really know what to do anymore.
