Anyone had this? Baby is back to back and I’m 39 weeks. When I went in for monitoring I was having severe back pain and the monitor picked up quite a lot of braxton hicks contracts.

I feel like there’s no help whatsoever. My partner seems bored of listening to my problems all the time and he never helps he just says he understands and that’s that.

So every time my baby has an inconvenience/a cold or any sort of symptom of an illness my mum instantly says that I need to give her Calpol. This absolutely infuriates me.

So I'm feeling so hurt at the moment.. so my husband randomly asked me to send him daily photos of our new born (tomorrow he will be 1 week old) while he is over seas.

The whole reason I'm concerned is because I don't want my baby having anything to...
