Never felt comfortable with my partner taking my daughter to his parents but now I’ve given birth to a premature baby he’s taking advantage and taking her often and even overnight whilst I have a long hospital stay.

Just needed a place to say this. Because I’m currently in hospital 1 week postpartum with a premature baby in nicu so in hospital caring for my baby. My daughter is 2 and I don’t feel comfortable with her at my in laws house for many reasons not because I’m evil. But his brother sexually abused his cousin with speci...

When did you start to find it easier?

My LG is 7 weeks and everything still feels so endless. The rewarding parts of motherhood are few and far apart, it mostly just feels like fighting fire after fire. Some people have said it improves around 10-12 weeks but I don’t know how much I trust it. When did it get easier for you?

Early positive?

I got my first faint positive at 3weeks 1day A bit darker on 3weeks 2days (today). But I’m reading that it’s rare to get a home test to say positive so early… Is this the sign of bad tests, or something wrong? I think I’m overthinking it?

Faint positive test

I had a faint positive test around 16 DPO. Is this normal? I thought the second line should be a bit darker. Should I be concerned? I tested in the morning

I have a dilemma

I’m in a dilemma and really struggling with this. How would any of you feel about having to share your nonverbal child with her father and his current girlfriend—someone who has insulted you, mocked your mental health, made fun of your body, and sent so much hate your way? Would you feel comfortable sending your chi...
