Nonbinary birthing parent names

Hi hi! I’m enby and my husband is cis. I’ve been debating on whether or not I want my child to call me mama or not. When I first came out as enby, i used she/they and l later changed it to just they/them because everyone went with she which just made me feel like they were ignoring the fact that I’m not cis. I’m not entirely uncomfortable w she though and feminine terms don’t entirely bother me (my husband still calls me his wife after we talked about it a bit - I just think it’s a cute title) so I was on board with mama. But also, I had looked up some non-binary titles and I wasn’t a huge fan of any of them.

Do you guys have any suggestions while I continue thinking this over??

I personally just go by mama since I use she/they pronouns, and am comfortable with a feminine identity, but I know that a popular one is Maddy (theres an adorable book written by Gayle Pitman that I recommend!), and I personally find Noni really cute! I know theres tons of others though, and another common one is Ren, short for parent.
If I may also recommend sharing this in the Otherhood group, it's a group specifically catered to nonbinary or any parents falling under the nonbinary umbrella!
Best of luck finding a name you like!! 💕

My co-worker uses Apa. I think when the right name presents itself it’ll just feel right. Good luck!

My dad is a cis guy but his toddler gets mixed up between mummy and daddy and she calls him muddy or madi 🥺

Just using your name is also an option

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Help

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…
