Feeling horrible

Hey, I’m new to this even though I have a 3 year old.
I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant, my skin is shit, I’m fat (not baby weight) I’m pretty much all round about 40% uglier than I was last year. My 3 year old doesn’t listen to a word I say and I’m basically homeless.
So I live with family while my partner lives with his family. I had to give up working because childcare was more than my wage even with tax credits help and my partner didn’t want to help out (physically or financially) I have zero money and live of child tax credit (reduced) £57 a week and child benefit £20 a week I have to put in at home but now I’m left with no clothes nothing I have fits me and I just feel disgusting!! My partner doesn’t give a shit about me and genuinely only cares about sex but I don’t know what the fuck to do with my life, I don’t even have friends.

Hey, Sorry to hear you feel so bad. Im a bit the same, 16 weeks, feeling fat (not with a bump), spotty with greasy hair (so much for the nice pregnancy hair I heard so much about). This is my first so everything is new and i feel a bit clueless. I live abroad and all my family are still in the UK and my husband works away so I'm on my own a lot of the time. Its a really hard time to feel so alone. I wish I could give you some advice but just know your not alone. Ive not posted a lot on here, but see it is a very good place to vent/ rant. I hope you start to feel better soon

So sorry to hear you're having such a tough time :-( not just pregnancy but other stuff too :-(

Are there any mum and toddler groups nearby you could go with your 3 year old? Meet some new mum friends :-) churches often do them and normally free :-)
