Friends??

Heyy!! My name is Marie I’m 24 and I’m a ftm and sahm to a 5 month old baby boy🩵. I find it really hard to make/keep friends 😅. Honestly I’m kinda inconsistent, like we could text for days and suddenly I stop texting for a while (hence why it’s hard to keep friends) but I will always be there and answer whenever you text!! I’m from MA but I’m down to lone distance friendships🫶🏽

Skipping 6 week PP check up

Has anyone ever just skipped out on their 6 week pp check up?😭 I know this is stupid but I'm just curious. This is my 2nd baby, vaginal birth, no complications, 2nd degree tear, but I feel great! Physically and emotionally. I have no pain at all, no more bleeding, and I'm almost 100% sure my stitches are dissolved. My ob/gyn is 30 min away from me, and I will have to take both my toddler and newborn with me when I go cause my partner will be at work and I don't want to spend more money on a nanny. And I feel like it's gonna be a quick appointment since I have no problems and I just feel like it'll be a waste of time. Like I know I should get checked out just to be safe but I just feel so good and completely back to normal I really don't want to😭

Do you ever feel like ‘damaged goods’ since becoming a Mum?

So basically my partner and I are not on great terms, and haven’t been for a while now. I keep thinking this might be it for us and we’d be better off separating, but one thing always comes to mind when I think about ever meeting someone new. I know in the grander scheme of things that meeting someone else isn’t exactly top priority but I hate to think of a life where I’m single forever, so of course it crossed my mind a lot.
The thing which worries me is that ever since having a child and becoming a Mum I feel like I’m damaged goods, in the eyes of anyone else that is. I feel like no one would ever be interested in me again.

Does anyone else have this feeling, or felt this way in the past?

I’m in a straight relationship but I miss sex with women

I have been in and out of straight and lesbian relationships for years. Although I love my partner and can see a future with him I just don’t really get in the mood for him in that way and miss how women would make me feel during intercourse

Should I even engage with this lady?

I started to ask if ladies wanted to be friends on Threads and this girl responds to the to connect with me but she posts on her own page that she's seeking friends (plus a list of characteristics and hobbies in common shes lookkng for) and then said no kids. I thought that was so weird

Phone passcode

This isn’t really to do with pregnancy/birth.. but my husband has changed his phone passcode (I probably shouldn’t have tried snooping). But after our first, our relationship went through the wringer and tbh neither of us were perfect, I’ll hold my hands up to that. But he was sexting another girl for a while. We’ve worked so hard on our relationship since then and now married.. so I don’t know if I’m just being paranoid because of that and near my due date, but I’ll be honest intimacy is low atm so worried he’s finding it somewhere else even if it’s on the phone.. do I come clean and ask why his passcode has changed even though it shows I tried to look or leave it?

Genuine friends??

Looking for girlies ! Besties/ hype girls/ long distance friends. ANYTHING. Seems like everytime I think a conversation is good people just stop texting back ? Even tho I’m the one holding the convos and actually answering. Just want genuine girlies to talk to 😢

Is it weird to go to the park alone? Any moms in columbus or gahanna oh?

Dealing with extreme stress holy crap, terrible insomnia, no appetite. All the things, so I’ve been wanting to plan a day to go to a park near downtown columbus maybe? Idk I mean I’ll go alone if I must lol my bf might come but I need away time from him too sometimes lol so idk just message me if you wanna meet up or let me know your thoughts on going to the park alone as an adult lol

I need some encouragement y'all.

Just found out I'm pregnant, mammas with 2 under 2 please tell me I'll be okay 🥲

Self employed help

Is anyone who is self employed getting any help with income apart from support from partner or family?

Curious…

Hello! Can i ask you mamas what your husband/partner does for a living that allows you to comfortably be a SAHM? We’d like to eventually transition to that as our family grows, but also want the freedom to build the life we want. Also open to hearing if any of you work remote or side gigs to help contribute financially? Much appreciated! 🩵🩵🩵

Friendship

I’m so confused about friendship? Aren’t they supposed to reach out? Aren’t they supposed to share and ask what’s going on in your life?
I feel like it’s time to really start over in friendships and let go of some friends.
Really need help.

WFH JOBS

Now struggling to find another WFH job😭😭😭.

Anyone able to point me in the direction of places hiring please.
