Rainham/Aveley/Hornchurch/Wennington Mums

Hello and thank you for joining!

I recently moved to Rainham and haven't found any mum groups compared to where I lived before so thought it would be nice to share any tips or upcoming events.

Hello! I think it is a great idea, I am quite new in the area too and I’ve been looking for a ante natal group but a one that is presencial so I could meet mums too. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I am already looking for baby clases and sensory class (I am a nanny so I’ve been in so many, so exited to start one with my first child, I know too early!) I am happy to meet for coffee or walks, I live just by the station!

Aww that's so great to hear . I'm looking into the Rainham Children's centre which seems to have everything but yet to hear about others nearby. If you find anything else, please do share!

There’s a baby/play group held at the royals, near Tesco, every Wednesday and Friday 9.30 till 11, it’s £4 but it’s so worth it x

Look at the library, there’s a playgroup every Thursday at 11am I think ( not 100% sure the time)

Comments that irritate

‘This is why you shouldn’t have kids unless you are married’

Someone said this to me on a video I commented on tik tok, however I was with my ex HUSBAND 10 years married 3 and a half before we had babies. A piece of paper makes no difference.

Maybe the signs were always there but I feel he definitely changed after I got pregnant with our eldest…

Condom broke

I’m 5 months pp and the condom just completely broke and I can’t even use plan B cuz I still weigh too much 😭. Just need reassurance. Did u get pregnant again quick? I was pumping the first 3 months and got my period like right at 7 weeks but it’s been extremely irregular like I got my period twice in a month. Now I’m breastfeeding and pump once a day. I’m hoping the breastfeeding is stalling my ovulation but idk man. I’m gonna get ovulation strips in the morning. I really can’t have another baby rn ugh.

Where my girls attttttt

I’m looking for the mommas that want someone to check up on them almost everyday. And I’m currently feeling like linking up soooo wya?

Do you think trans children grow out of being trans?

Someone close to me has a child that came out as trans. They are waiting to tell others in the family this "just in case" their child changes their mind or grows out of it. In my experience I came out twice, the first time at a young age and was repeatedly dismissed that it was a phase and was told not to tell others in the family, I went back into the closet, the second time I was much older and felt I had wasted my twenties after letting family gaslight me into thinking they knew me better than I knew myself. That's just me, I know others who thought they were trans and later realized they weren't, but I want to know how common do parents think it is for their child to not actually be trans after coming out.

*I will report any transphobic or hateful comments, you can make your point without being impolite. This isn't a debate on everything transgender, only about if parents believe their children when they come out or if they have doubts.

Debating on seperation

I'm at a loss and not sure what to do my husband and I have been together for 12 years and 3 years married however my love for him and connection is fading his true colours really showed during my pregnancy when he wasn't there for me when I needed support and only came to one appointment with me since the arrival of our daughter he hasn't really stepped up to the dad role is always working late which he chooses too and really only helps on weekends. He barely even knows her ques and what she needs or wants and she is already 8 months old. I'm so lost on what to do and yes I have been talking to a counselor about these issues just good to hear others opinions
