How do you feel about being a mother, you need to realize that everything you do for your children makes you a good mother. Taking care of them, thinking about them, loving them and all that makes you a good mother. This happens to me quite a lot when larry and I fight. What he is doing, is he wants to see you cry. It gives him power, honestly, you can ask my boyfriend and he'll tell you the same thing. You need to talk to him, ask him why he said that... Get to the bottom of it, but first calm down..

I went through a similar thing with my boyfriend. You just gotta relax..Take a bath if possible or listen to some music and lay down. And realize he probably says things like that because he is scared and/or nervous. Maybe he feels that you are a threat to him...By that I mean maybe he fears you are a better parent than he is..??

Ok well I am not as calm as stacie and sara, I think that is a horrible thing to say! As an expectant mother you fear being a bad mother all the time, you beat yourself up wondering if you are making the good decisions, the best ones for your baby and you don't need your boyfriend who is having a "bad day" to confirm these untrue fears! You will be a great mother!

When I had the twins I had no help at all form anyone! I had a 1 year old and 2 newborns. I never got sleep or a break. Finally I broke down and asked for help(which I never do)from my babies dad and he called me weak. Your right it does hurt bad! Dont worry you will make a great mom!
