Positive test and worried š
Canāt stop cryingā¦ just found out Iām expecting. I have a 7 yo son and a 15 month old daughter and up until a month or so ago I really wanted another, then I came to my senses and realised Iām already struggling, my plate is full I want to get back to being myself as I have really lost myself. My partner is how he isā¦ help is limited interms or house work etc I do struggle to keep on top of everything already now Iām wondering how Iām going to cope this could break me. The reason I wanted another was for my youngest to have a sibling with a close age gap. Another worry is that Iām 36 I feel like Iām too old to do this again itās going to take its toll and isnāt this classed as a geriatric pregnancy?. Any advice please šš½ xxxx

Idk what to do.
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.

Trigger warning? Hard topics?
Iām really struggling with ppd but my boyfriend is also really struggling with his mental health, heās self harming, drinking more and I feel my relationship is falling apart because Iām constantly feeling guilty for feeling depressed and struggling around him. The other week we were speaking and he told me he couldnāt promise me he wouldnāt kill himself and thatās 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. Itās not his fault I know but Iām really struggling, I just want things to be ok again. I donāt want to lose him, I love him so so much it hurts. I canāt talk to my mum about it because usually I talk to her if Iām 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 donāt really know what to do anymore.

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

Glasses for my 3 year old
I feel so sad for him mainly it's big adjustment for him and he'll be getting a new baby sis in a few weeks ....what if he feels different to other children or gets bullied . We have been under optometrist since about just before 1 beacuse he had a lazy eye and now been told astigmatism and long sighted and got given a prescription for glasses . I feel bad like I must if done something wrong in pregnancy or something ive always limited screen time I can't help blaming myself he is so bright and smart and cheeky and really don't want glasses he even told me when he gets them he'll come home and break them and put them in the bin beacuse they will be annoying and keeps saying randomly telling me he can see things and asks if he has to wear them forver my heart breaks I know it's not such a big deal to many but it feels like a big one to me to get glasses at 3 years old . Any tips to feel better or support him to wear them .

Dummies & Nappiesā¦ 4 IN FEB!!!
Please tell me Iām not alone with this right now, I feel like a failure of a mum with a 3.5 year old, 1.5 year old and pregnant with our thirdā¦ very early days but I wanna throw the towel in.
He attends childminders 15-20 hours a week, he goes for wees and stuff there but he does not listen here, he literally looses interest in everything and itās starting to concern me now further down to ADHD/ADD/Autism but not really any traits apart from covering his ears if I shout.
How the hell do we tackle potty training? Advice hints and tips, timings etcā¦
Dummies? I mean this is his main soothing point but his teeth are already buckledā¦ he uses one of my vest tops as long term comfort but I just donāt knowā¦ I feel sooooo alone
