Im 18 weeks pregnant and separating from my husband. So many worries but the main one is about what is likely/reasonable in terms of contact when the baby is born.
I've been a lone parent before, exH left when DD was a few months old and DS was just under 2. He was not so bothered about seeing the DCs and it just used to be the odd sat afternoon although we went through mediation and the actual defined access was week one sat afternoon, week 2 overnight sat.
STBXH has shared custody of his boys and has already started talking about this in terms of the baby! I'm getting a bit worried, and wondered if any of you have advice on what I can request/permit. I exclusively breast fed both DCs and intend to with the new baby. He's even mentioned that I'd have to express milk etc.
It's getting me down, I also have Hyperemesis and have been in hospital 5 times already with that. Could anyone give any advice on what is reasonable, or even when mediation should start?
