Am I being selfish?

So cut a long story short I already have 2 kids to 2 baby daddies. Neither relationship is good and neither of them see the kids. I recently met someone and thought I had fallen in love we haven’t been together long only 3 months but I’ve know him 15 years cut a long story short in our relationship we had talks of having more kids moving in together and me not going on contraception because he didn’t want my moods and cycles to mess up. I didnt realise it at the time but I was being love bombed by a narcissist. One day he woke up and decided to ghost me. A few days after I find out I’m pregnant I’ve told him and I’ve had. I response to any messages or phone calls. He’s not saying to get rid of the baby or anything just total silence. My question is would I be selfish to have the baby?

I would say it’s whatever you can handle… it’s your body you’re carrying the baby if you have enough support do what feels right

I can’t tell you to have the baby or not to have the baby but me personally already being a single mom with 2 kids I wouldn’t be having the baby.

Its not selfish if you want to have the baby? Yes, being a single parent might be hard sometimes, but it’s a blessing. Congratulations.

MIL seriously ill

We have just found out my MIL has cancer. We are devastated, trying to process it, honestly I'm still in shock. The woman is one of the healthiest people I knew up until this.
I have a two year old and a 9 month old. I'm trying to support my husband as best I can but I'm really concerned about my 2 year old. We took her to the hospital to see her grandma before she goes on the chemo ward, because kids aren't allowed on there for risk of infection. Totally understand that but how do I explain to her where grandma has gone or why she can't see her? She's already picking up on the vibe that things aren't right and she's worried and clingy, I've told her grandma is poorly and she's at the Dr in bed so they can make her healthy again. I didn't loose a grandparent until I was 7 and by then I'd had two hamsters so I kinda understood what death was. But how do you talk about that without scaring the shit out of a younger child. I'm trying to stay positive but if it comes to that how do I tell her. I told her it's normal for people to feel sad sometimes and daddy is crying because he's sad that grandma is poorly. It's so horrible I just don't know what to do or say to help either of them. We are gonna take it in turns to visit her going forward, try to keep her company. It's going to be a hard few months ahead. Any advice on any of it really appreciated.

First hair cut - feeling annoyed and upset

What would you do?
My partner took our little girl to my mums, after just coming to pick her up, no heads up, so that ruined the plans i already had with her, they have just got home and i found out my aunt cut her hair. Her first haircut and i missed it because no one told me, didn’t even ask if it was ok, i have made it clear so many times i want to be there when she has her first haircut cut. And this wish was denied. I feel upset that i missed it but mainly annoyed. Am i being silly?

Healthy start card

Anyone else find it weird that the amount you get from the healthy start card drops after your child turns 1?
Before 1 : £34 a month
After 1 : £18.60 as month

Nappies

Hello all, my little girl 8 months old sleeps through the night but wakes up soaking wet in the morning where her nappy has leaked through to her clothes. I’ve tried Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, and pampers and they all leak….does anyone have any other brands that might work 🤷🏽‍♀️

Baby stopped babbling?

Has anyone else’s baby stopped babbling? My little girl is 8 months old and used to babble a little but now doesn’t. She squeals and laughs though.

Not sure what I can do to encourage her or what has happened to cause her babbling to stop.

She’s also not super into trying to crawl either, just leans forward every now and then. I feel like I’m failing her in some way but I don’t know how.
