How long does your 5/6 week old feed for per session, and how often?

My husband is really concerned about me because I've not enjoyed any of my pregnancy (31 weeks now). He thinks I should be feeling joy more often.

So I’m 28 weeks and have been enjoying my pregnancy. But I can’t seem to get over how bad my stretch marks are on my lower tummy.
