good to hear that baby's okay. you just need to have some time out and look after you and your wee ones. is there anywhere you can go? i found a cheap return fare to adelaide and went and stayed with some family friends for a month, came back he was being a total arse still so stopped speaking to him for 6weeks. and now he takes me a little more seriously, because i've shown him that i mean it when i say if he f***s about with me and baby he's out for good. now at least he seems to be trying to be nice-ish. and i figure that's a start.

and there are better people out there. when i first joined here i posted about my horrible ex and there was one woman (who's in my due date group too ) who said that she left her ex when she was in first trimester and moved across the country and met the man who is now her husband when she was 15 weeks pregnant. her little girl is two and they're expecting their first baby together just a few days after me. so it really does happen and she is fabulous and really gave me hope that it would be okay after all.

see if you can go stay some place with your family.. if its possible for someone to take the reigns on looking after your other two while you just have some you time.. is it a possibility?
