Idk what to do..

I just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd and I’m struggling… I don’t think I want another right now… I love being a mom but I pretty much do a lot on my own and I’m always tired mentally and physically. My boyfriend is good dad but like with my last two pregnancies he’s great until I’m 2 months postpartum and then he cheated on me and blames me for not giving him attention… so I’m scared for that and I’m scared of ppd and ppa which I’ve also had with the last two. And on that I’m just also scared of doing it all alone… I feed, bathe, clean up, do bed time, play, teach, all alone… how am I going to do all of that with a another child… I’m so terrified.

First off am sorry, I have three my self girl so I totally understand! First just breathe girl !!

He cheated on you a few weeks after you had a baby… TWICE?!?

@Sharon exactly I couldn’t believe what I was reading! I could never be with someone who cheated on me! I can’t believe he is still ur boyfriend cuz cheating is a deal breaker in any relationship! And he blamed u for it; aweeee helll nah! Please start choosing urself! It’s not too late to leave that prick! I’m sorry ur feeling overwhelmed, the first step is to get rid of that boyfriend! Ur mind will be a little Bit more clearer once u get rid of that dead weight

@Sharon yeah….

@Jasmin i don’t have anywhere to go…

I’m so sorry. I think it’s time to put your needs first. You need a man that will be committed to you. Start part time work or setting many aside so that you can leave. I think having another child will just make this situation worse.

@Rebecca I don’t know how to even start to put myself first my whole life has been praised for being a “trooper” for always putting everyone else’s needs above mine so I don’t even know to begin

@Piper I’m so sorry ur going thru this! I completely agree with @Rebecca u need to start pouring into u, u need to start choosing urself! Ur partner does not Love u, he probably thinks u don’t love urself cuz he knows he can give the bare minimum & u will still stay! Please start setting up some clear boundaries so that u don’t loose urself even more. Ur daughters are watching even when we don’t think they are; therefore u need to set a good example on what to tolerate & how to be treated in a relationship 👀 I would start by therapy, maybe even journaling, u will get to the bottom of why ur so ok with being “trooper” in situations that wud make anyone uncomfortable Bt everything is easier said than done so I’m wishing u the best of luck :) Only u know what to do & how to proceed bt if I were u in ur shoes I would terminate the pregnancy & get on birth control, then dump ur partner & think of ways to healthy co-parenting & then start the healing process! Trust me u will find urself!

@Piper start small. Think of something small you want or need but you don’t do it. Maybe it’s a food you’re craving but no one else in the family likes it, taking a long hot bath, etc. . Start journaling as it might help you uncover your needs and listen to your inner voice.
