I’m pregnant with my first baby, I plan to go all natural. If I am able I want to do birth all naturally no epidural no Pitocin, no C-Section nothing. I am curious though when is it absolutely necessary for being induced? How many weeks is too many and you have to be induced? I’m just wondering if everything was healthy with me and baby would they still schedule me for induction at some point? Or do you just wait till whenever your water decides to break? Again FTM here so my question might sound kinda silly but I’m just trying to do as much research as I can!

I 25/F am in a relationship with 33/Mand I am 6 months pregnant with our baby. My bf and I go through spells of not having sex usually lasting 5-7 days and then we have sex 1 or 2 times and then go another 5-7 without. It bothers me a bit bc I have some deep rooted issues that cause me to think sex=love, and if we aren’t having sex that means I’m not loved. Something I’m trying to work on. Anyways lately he has been SUPER affectionate towards me constantly touching me (not sexually), wanting to be around me, telling me how much he loves me and how beautiful I am. Which is great but also weirds me out a bit bc he’s being more affectionate out of the blue, not that he wasn’t before but now it’s just excessive. We haven’t had sex in a week now (usually I’ll say something like you just don’t want to sleep w me or you aren’t attracted to me anymore, he’ll assure me that’s not the case and within a day or 2 weeks will end up having sex) I have made multiple comments about how I miss his dick, we haven’t had sex in so long, I forget what it feels like, he doesn’t love me anymore, asking if he’s sleeping with someone else all of which he kind of just laughs off tells me he loves me and that he wants to. But then that’s it. I try to initiate and nothing he doesn’t see interested at all he gets semi hard and I can just tell he’s not into it so I leave him alone. I just have this weird gut feeling he’s cheating on me even tho I have absolutely no proof and honestly no reason to suspect that at all. Just him not wanting to have sex on top of the excessive affection recently is just throwing me through a whirlwind. He claims he’s just tired and that probably is so bc as soon as his head hits the pillow he’s k/o but idk imo tired or not why wouldn’t you want to be intimate with me. Idk if I’m just being paranoid but I can’t get over this gut feeling there is someone else but I literally have no proof. What can I do to quit thinking so negatively about this?

I 25F am in a relationship with 33M, I am 6 months pregnant with his 3rd child and my 1st. Prior to me getting pregnant we didn’t really have a label on our relationship. We weren’t sleeping with anyone else but were free to talk to or date others. He claims that him and his ex gf who he shares 2 kids with have not had any relations besides co parenting in the last 5-6 years. Last summer before we made things official between us, I found pictures in his phone of her sending nudes. Besides that, I have yet to find anything “super” concerning between the 2 of them. When he told her I was pregnant she flipped out, crying and angry. He apologized profusely to her. Claims “I wouldn’t understand bc I don’t have kids yet” anyways they text each other every single day as many times as he talks to me in a day he talks to her. Sometimes it’s about the kids but 80% of the time it’s talking about their day or what they are up to and things of that nature. For some reason it really just rubs me the wrong way to see them constantly talking to eachother. And it constantly not being about the kids. And idk if it’s from my own insecurities or what, this is the 1st time I’ve dated someone with kids. In my opinion I don’t see why they need to speak to eachother at all if it’s not about the kids. My parents were divorced and did not talk unless it was about me. Granted they hated eachother but to me it’s just weird to be so intertwined with your ex, kids or not. To add she didn’t want me around her kids at all before my bf and I got officially together, which I can understand. When things became official and I got pregnant she still didn’t want her kids around me until she met me, then at some point changed her mind and has now been okay with me being around them but refuses to meet me. Tells my bf she’s uncomfortable and it’s hard for her. I honestly feel like my baby and I have homewrecked a family and I hate it. He tells me nothing is going on but everything just seems so fishy to me. I feel like he’s just with me bc I’m pregnant and truly wants to go back to his family with her. They talk about getting property together to live close to eachother, sometimes she flirts with him very slightly. He never flirts back or anything. Idk it’s all just so weird and confusing to me. Is this a normal healthy coparenting relationship? I’ve never seen one so truly I don’t know. Like I said my parents hated eachother when they broke up and I’ve never been with anyone else that has had kids so I’m new to this.
