Pregnancy emotion

I am like this, only let my daughter go out with her dad without me once. It's not that I don't trust him because I do. It's because I can't stand to be away from her. Her first day at nursery tomorrow, I'll be in the same building, so I'm hoping I'll be okay. She did fantastically on her settle, so I thibk she'll love it. I'm 24 weeks on Friday. Xx

@Deb I’m really glad I’m not alone with this. Honestly the stress makes me feel so sick. I understand that when it comes to it like nursery I’ll have to let go but right now I’m really struggling with it. Before I was pregnant I struggled but I was kinda able to continue for the hour that he was gone but now I can’t, I feel so sick or be sick. I cry and just want my baby home. Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I wish you both the best for tomorrow!! I just struggle. Since having my son I’ve been away from him twice and both times I had no choice so I feel like I should have a bit more support with how I’m feeling now. My partner has 3 other kids from previous relationship and is used to them not being around so I thought he’d understand how it feels in a round about way but I’ve been made to feel pretty crazy xx

You aren't crazy. Pregnancy hormones mess you up. Just take one day at a time. That's all you can do. X

@Deb I just feel like I have no say in how I’m feeling. Just ends in a fight and I’m being told I’m controlling and over the top because I don’t want to be without my son. I just want a little understanding from him. I’ve never been okay with it but I managed before now it’s just too hard. His ex never cared about their kids and always wanted them gone so she can party but I’m not like that. I’d pick a night in with my babies over a Larry any day. I love being a mum and I love having my baby near xxx

My partner jokes, saying I don't trust him, but I'd like to think he understands, lol. I can leave her if I pop to the shop as I've left her, but if he wants to take her out and leave me at home, that's when I struggle. Your feelings are valid. Your partner just doesn't understand and to be honest as frustrating as it is if he can't get his head around it now he probably won't ever, especially if you've tried to talk about it and it's caused arguments so to save your relationship I'd give up trying to explain it to him. Hopefully, once the baby is here and your hormones balance out, everything will be okay. I know for you that's at least another 25 weeks for birth and recovery, as you know, can take 6 weeks. I gave my partner my bank card to use so I got notified when he paid so I knew he was on his way home. He also rang me when he was there and video called me as my little girl was having a good time eating food lol. Your partner might say it's controlling but don't tell him why your offering your card.
