Hope so hunni. J's been great so far but you know what he's like and what we've been through. I guess us just natural for me to doubt it xx

I'm sure he will want to be at home for a few days at least when he sees that all this is actually real. "Z" didn't get attached until he saw the scan and now we have 9 weeks ish left and he is really dedicated and looking after me. Just give it time babe xz

I do hope so :-) thanks ladies x

You're not being selfish babe. My partners self employed and he is working until I'm in labour but luckily for us he can work from home for a couple of days a week until I feel like I can cope. Don't worry too much! The moment he sees the little one you'll be hard pressed to get him back to work :p

I don't feel that you are being selfish. surely a week with you wouldn't hurt. its an important time for a new born he'll need to bond. when he gets in from work the baby might be asleep or in bed. he might change his mind once he's here x

Yes I'll get maternity pay and plan on staying at work as long as I can. I'm not expecting him to have 2-3 weeks off but I really feel that I'm going to need the help once our little one is here. He's just that work minded that the thought of losing a days wage to him is like we are going to have the house repossessed etc but that will never happen. Just makes me feel like I'm going to have to do it all on my own. He says he can bond with the baby when he gets in from work, which I know is true but I'll need him there. Am I being selfish? x

my fella is staying at work untill the day I go in to labour to get more time with us... and he even said if I have a c section he will stay at work while I'm in the hospital to have more time when I come out of hospital. x

do you get materiny pay?

and he should consider staying at work untill the day you have the baby and save till then. to have more till with you and baby.? x
