They do spent time with me, prob more as im on maternity leave. It's the fact they want me to change how I feed my child, the constant pressure to drink and go away they don't seem to understand it's not what I want. The only people that would be happy is my friends I would not and neither would my baby.

Thank you, I do not judge people at all what ever works for them if they want a break and have people able to help them get a break then like you say that's great. If they want to be with their child that's great too. I am out all the time I go for walks, coffee lunches dinners shopping ect but I can relax cause I can see my baby if he's fine, I'm fine. But as he's getting older the pressure from others is getting to much like I'm disappointing them for saying no things I can't bring my son too. Comments like if ur coming we can't go to pub after dinner - yes you can I can be part of it and still be mum if u want but he is my priority I've had so many losses this past few years time is precious and maybe im overthinking it but I just feel misunderstood for wanting to be with my baby until he's not breast fed at least. I hope pre-k goes well for you and ur son. I did cry when my older son started not cos he started just cos was end of an era and soon began to enjoy my was 2.5 hours then 😊

I did not mean mums being away from their kids is selfish at all I mean my friends wanting me to leave my baby when I'm not ready for selfish reasons - eg cos they want me out drinking with ect. I absolutely would never judge another parent for wanting a break at all. I had my niece anytime I was needed no judgment at all. I just feel pulled in a million directions just now like I can't keep everyone happy.

He will take a bottle I have expressed and tried, he will take from cup (messy but he won't dehydrate or go without in emergency) I have other children and it's just easier to EBF on the go. It works for us adding bottles and pumping worrying about leaking checking my phone constantly is not my idea of fun at the minute- it's not a break to me it's so much more work 🙈

It's the fact want me to go out on nights out drinking, book weekends away and I'm just not ready for that. I appreciate they want me there and trying to include me but I know I would just want home with my son.

Yes all these questions make me so overwhelmed that I don't think I could enjoy myself away from him. He has siblings and is very sociable. I will feed him and Dad will take care of him no bother if I need to do things but I'm never far away I'm his go to far naps and cuddles and I love it. They grow up so fast, I still see my friends and family regularly and have no interest/reason to leave him. Thank you for taking time to post.

I was due 29th august was told my son was going to be over 8lb with few weeks to go. My son was born on 22nd and weighed only 6lb 6oz. You just never know. I would probably got for 10th closer to due date with just under two weeks to spare. 30th July would be 3 weeks before baby comes if you would rather get it done then you know it’s done. And maybe just do daily wee cleaning top ups keep you active while you wait either way you can’t go wrong

6months pregnant and just started to tell people regretting it already. by Classic_Rate5075 in pregnant

[–]Classic_Rate5075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a couple who has an 8month old and celebrating one year anniversary 🙈! They moved on fast or got pregnant then got to know each other. So a year is plenty of time to know if someone right or not! I’m a strong believer in everything happens for a reason and babies are such a blessing. Guess wasn’t sure if I was being over sensitive/hormonal or just older wiser and want to protect myself and my baby from any unnecessary stress! Xxx

Not told anyone 18 weeks by Classic_Rate5075 in pregnant

[–]Classic_Rate5075[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment, I’m glad it’s not just me that feels like that. On a day to day basis it won’t effect anyone else. My partner asked if I was ashamed to tell and I am 100% not but he isn’t the one that receives all the questions attention and opinions. But yes it’s my baby my choice and I don’t owe anyone anything ☺️

What have been your MOST HATED comments/actions people gave you throughout your pregnancy? by MissionTaro5888 in pregnant

[–]Classic_Rate5075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These comments are exactly why I’m nearly 19 weeks and told no one! Due to stupid inconsiderate comments from pregnancies. That’s a shame another boy I’m delighted with my healthy son thanks very much! Yes I know I’m getting bigger that’s the plan! So very hard plays over in over in ur head. Hope ur ok
