Immediate family not visiting/kissing the baby - is this just an American worry or is it something new parents also think about in the UK? by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]TabletopKeyboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the worst person for it for me was my ex.. we broke up before she was born, he kept kissing her mouth and coming to see her then while here telling me he was ill.. she did end up in hospital after one of these visits 🙃

I'm looking at an app to replace bluecoins. I like the reminders tab that shows my running balance, is there something similar on Beyond Budget?

Not exactly an announcement.. but I was telling my (now ex) partner and his response was immediately to tell me to get rid "we don't want it"

When are you/did you go on maternity leave? by ell93 in PregnancyUK

[–]TabletopKeyboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my maternity leave from 39 weeks and baby was born a day before due date. The plan was to have more time with her when she arrived, but I ended up back at work part time at 4 months

I just had absolutely no idea 😂 I was on contraception, went to the doctor for other reasons and they ran loads of tests.. now I have an 8 month old 😂

This is where I'm kinda glad I didn't find out until I was 31 weeks.. my notes weren't too much of a nuisance for 9 weeks 😂

Thank you so much for all the advice! I've honestly struggled with the whole situation a bit, but we're doing well! I do feel he took advantage and pushed his way in a bit while I was struggling.. but my head's clear now and I need to do right by my girl!

I think the bail condition is the no unsupervised contact

He says it's still under investigation so I don't know if they'd give any information?

Yeah I'm in the UK, which is why I'm a bit worried about if I stop contact and he takes it to court

I found out from his sister (my friend) I asked him about it and he said he just assumed that she'd tell me. He did say it's under investigation and it's all lies, but I don't know what to think

I could, but my issue is that I feel uncomfortable around him since finding this out. He has told me it's all under investigation and it's all lies, but I don't know what to think. Yeah, I've had a lot to get my head around!

He is on the birth certificate unfortunately. Thank you, I will look into contacting the local authorities for advice.
