Group Input Needed: Please post anonymously, I could use some advice/encouragement: My exN filed for a modification of custody for our two kids. He currently sees them every other weekend; I have primary physial custody and therefore have them most of the time. They are 6 and 4. I am remarried and 33 weeks pregnant with my third child. Our trial just was scheduled for one week after my due date. Im due January 4, the trial is January 12, and expected to go at least a whole day. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with the stress of a custody battle while very pregnant/mothering a newborn plus two older kids? I will either have a very new baby or be one week overdue. My witness list and exhibits are due right after Christmas, and we are already completely broke from the legal fees and havent even had a trial yet. I am not even sure I will be able to retain my representation that long. It may just be pregnancy hormones, but I am very worried. I plan to breastfeed. Do courts allow newborns to be with their mother during a trial? Will they give me breaks to pump if not? I will still be healing, hormonal and sleep deprived and I dont feel I will be at 100% to fight for my older children... I am discouraged enough with this battle without the newborn curve ball being added in. I know my exN planned it this way. The stress of dealing with him and this sudden custody battle (not to mention all his horrendous lies that I know he will get away with) has already affected much of this pregnancy. He just wants to rip my family apart. Sorry this is so long... Im just overwhelmed.
