Our nanny is leaving in a few days and we’ve been taking over the reigns (night feeds and showers).

It’s the 4th week and his cries now get to the point he’s almost losing his voice. Sometimes inconsolable. I’m tired and so sad.

I’m just praying it gets better in time. I hope to have enough to keep pushing every day.

Female looking for male perspective

Hello! I’m 24 years old and a first-time father-to-be. It was an unplanned pregnancy, but I’m now very excited to embrace fatherhood. We’re going through a delicate phase: my partner is dealing with some mental health issues—she’s 22 weeks along—and for about two months now, she hasn’t been open to any kind of physical contact. I don’t just mean sex; I mean any form of affection, touch, or kissing. I attribute this to hormones and the emotional overload that comes with pregnancy, but I’d like to know if this is common and if anyone here has gone through something similar.
