About the anything else I couldn't comment but about frequent arguments yes as he believes and acts in behaviour as if our lives are the same as before and we could still do the same things...he can do some but I definitely can't. This is our major topic.X

Yes mine did, with our 1st it was huge shock, we never argued pre baby, baby arrived & so did arguments. Same with baby no2, we found our rhythm with no1 then threw ourselves a curveball which it is starting to settle now 7m later. Its normal for the relationship to change because your lives have x

Hi yes me and my husband got more distance and frequent arguments I feel like we are living 2 different life

We have a lovely WhatsApp group, if you want to join just give me a quick message. We are a mixed bunch so there is always someone who has got advice. Definitely the best group around that I've found for making friends x

Mines actually the opposite i think we've gotten closer after childbirth... we've had few ups and downs but spoke about our expectations as a parent. So communication is key I think. I am 8m pp and things are good and we have a routine now.

It’s so normal but it does get better! It’s such a big change in both of your lives so it really does take time to adjust xx

I have a lovely and supportive husband. We argue far more now than we ever did, we’re both more tired. I think we use a lot of our patience up with the kids. It’s a hard time!

So normal to argue and feel distant , me and my partner argued a lot. It’s a big change for a relationship and can be draining. Try to talk and don’t hold in feeling and don’t hold grudges what happens at 3am stays at 3am. Also as mums we go through lots of change and hormones but dads also can feel quite lost and useless so ask each other how you feel and even though may be exhausted try make time for each other
