Needy?!

Anyone else feeling really needy? All I want is for my boyfriend to be with me 24/7 and when he's in work I'm texting and calling him. I can't help it haha he's being really good with me and understands but I must be really annoying him haha. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm 36+1.

Oh, okay.  I read it to be like something that was long term.  There ARE women like that that want every waking second with their man and call them at work all the time and things like that and the men become very suffocated and irritated by that and I didn't want to see that happen to anyone.  I always encourage those women to have their own things in life.  

Glad it is a 'new' thing associated just with pregnancy.

I never had that at all with any of my pregnancies.  When I had a bit of extra neediness was after I had the baby----  we got home from the hospital and my husband took 2 weeks off of work to be with us.  When he went back after that two weeks, I was not really wanting him to (knowing he had to) and had an adjustment period.  Part of it was being scared with a new baby and by myself.  But as soon as baby and I got into a groove alone during the days, it was fine.

anyway, sorry I misinterpreted what you were writing.  good luck

Umm actually specialmom I have a hobby! But being 36+2 its kinda hard to go out horse riding at the minute! As I said in my original post my partner is being very good with me, and is not 'bored' with me! I was only asking to see if it was common in pregnancy!

Maybe this is just a temporary thing for you all after rereading the  posts.  LOL  I hope so.  It would be hard to be that dependent on another person.  good luck

Ladies, you need to get a hobby.  No joke.  This is not a healthy way to be in a relationship and I'm telling you, they will grow tired of that.  No one person should be your everything in life.  That grows old.  I tell you this from many years of marriage.  It's boring to someone to have a cling on who ONLY wants to be with them.  At first it is kind of flattering but eventually, it's not.  I went through a phase where I was like that too but got myself out of it realizing that it's not fair to put that kind of pressure on my mate.  And he finds me much more fun to be around if I have my own life, my own hobbies, friends, work, etc.  

So, I'm not trying to say you are doing anything wrong but instead just that I'd think about what you can do with your time away from him that you'd enjoy so that you have things to look forward to and you can loosen your grip on your partner a little and relax when they aren't around.  

good luck

I was like that with my second pregnancy.  At 22 weeks i called my bf 4 times a day and texted him every 10 minutes.  And we lived together so he would Leave at 5am be at work for 6am he was off at 4pm and home at 5pm.
So no its not bad. Your getting closer to the date and you just dont want anything to happen when hes at work.

Lol I'm the opposite, I rather be alone. He's a really nice guy and is very helpful, supportive and loving. I feel bad because I just push him away. I think there's nothing wrong with wanting your bf around 24/7. It's cute, you're carrying his child. Good luck and God bless.
