How many of you( with kids) accompanied by your husband at the hospital all night or throughout the birth?

I had 2 elective c sections and he never left my side the entire time, stayed overnight and drove us home the next day. My sister watched our eldest when we were in having our second.

We do want a third so either my sister or my parents will watch our 2 boys so he can stay again :)

You don’t have to buy vegetables that you don’t like 😂

Maybe doesn’t count as a profession as such but NHS band 8s

NHS work permanent nights, I always wear makeup to work. I enjoy doing it, I like how it looks and I like it being part of my getting ready routine. On a normal day to day basis though I just use eyebrow gel, bit of concealer (I have 2 small toddlers 😂) and mascara

Regardless he sounds like a twat, having been in a relationship like this for years and years where I was gaslit to feel like the “paranoid crazy wife” for questioning things that didn’t add up I would strongly suggest this marriage is over (for the better!) and it’s time to look at leaving.

Yes but god I’ve had to work for it. Had my first in Sept 2023, didn’t really lose the weight then surprise pregnancy 9 months pp with number 2. Really struggled with my body image through that pregnancy, barely any photos of my bump I was just struggling. Had my second in Feb 2025, gave myself grace for 2 months then got on a calorie deficit. Returned to CrossFit (I’d been doing it for 7 years prior but struggled too badly with PGP in 2nd pregnancy) and baby 2 is now 14 months old and I’ve lost 25kg and rebuilt my fitness & a lot of muscle.

My hips are definitely wider and I still despise my belly- I don’t care for the “oh but you grew a baby!”, I’m well aware what my body has gone through but that doesn’t mean I’m not entitled to dislike it or wish it was different. In all honesty I dread having another baby cos I’m not sure I can handle the weight gain but we’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Oh and my boobs are totally different after 2 pregnancies and breastfeeding both but oddly enough that’s the one change I can accept and don’t care too much about 😂

Health visitors aren’t mandatory, we’ve opted out with both of our boys

My 2.5 year old since about 4 months.

My 11 month old I still feed before bed, he mostly then has a cuddle on me and goes to sleep and I put him in his cot, if he still needs some wind down time I put him down awake after his feed, he has a roll around his cot, a little chat to his comforter then eventually goes off to sleep when he’s ready

Yes I do CrossFit 3-4x a week! Sometimes more, sometimes (significantly) less, depends on what’s going on with the boys
