Hi all. I'll try keep it brief. Been with partner 4 years he has 2 dc from previous relationship. Currently 17 weeks pregnant and although wasn't planned and parter wasn't happy to start off with he seemed to have had a change of heart and been fairly supportive. However I'm really struggling and I feel I'm going to have little say in things for example I said I would like to breastfeed and he said he doesn't think I should as won't know how much milk the baby is getting, it'll make my boobs sag and he knows people who have and their kids have ended up with illnesses etc. He is also constantly going on about how I need to be using oil on my tummy to stop stretch marks. When I mentioned I'd like to look more into using a birthing pool at the hospital again he wasn't exactly on board. I feel like when the baby comes along because I'm a first time parent and he's not that I'm going to be told how to bring up the baby. I have been wanting to be a parent so long but now I almost wish I could turn back time. I can't see how we are going to stay together I really can't so now I'm embarrassed of telling family and friends I'll possibly be on my own :(
