So I'm pregnant and I I hardley see my partner sometimes I see him once a week sometimes twice a week because he's working he's his on boss , I don't no if I'm just overreacting but I feel as he should spend more time with me sometimes I don't see him for 3 weeks and he can't call me only text me because the place he stays when he goes away to work his mate will be sleeping but to me that's no excuse if he wanted to call me he would he says he can only text me he don't understand how I feel at all I always tell him and he says he will sort things out but to me it just feels like it's getting worse I don't even no if I want to be with him anymore I really don't no what to do to me it's like he only cares and thinks of his self and when the babys born if he can only see me once or twice a week it will be the same with the baby to

Hello OP. We're going to move your thread over to the Relationships board now. It's a bit lost in here. Flowers

Hi Ellie,

Sometimes it can be really hard when you have a busy working partner, plus you're pregnant which means you're hormonal! I was the same as you, I turned a bit clingy though and wanted my fella home any second he had and right next to me - what I wasn't thinking about is that he was busting his back side off working so we could have lovely things for when the baby comes.

Being pregnant can be quite a lonely experience I myself felt this, although I had a great network of friends and family around me. Ellie, if your not working try to at times keep yourself busy! I was quite a social butterfly before I was pregnant so I was out drinking and having fun and before I knew it I was stuck in every weekend on my own! I decided to read, get in deep into Netflix, walk my dog, and go for brunch with my friends when I could!

As for your boyfriend you do need to tell him how you feel, he may be feeling under pressure and working extra hard but you really both need to make the most of the days you have together before the baby comes. Arrange a movie night for his nights off or go for some food. Doing an "activity" together will really appreciate when he goes back to work. I hope this helps x
