I make decisions that feel right for me and my baby

Every surge brings me closer to meeting my baby

I am strong, I can do this

My body knows how to birth my baby

I am safe, am calm, I am relaxed

My baby will be born when the time is right

I am calm, I am comfortable, I am confident

I listen to the needs of my body and my baby as I give birth

I embrace the power of birth

My surges are not stronger than me because they are me

I breathe in calmness, I breathe out tension

Asking for help is strength, not weakness

My body is designed to do this

1 minute is no time at all

I embrace whatever path my baby’s birth takes

I relax and breathe through each surge

I am prepared for the birth of my baby

I breathe my baby down

My body achieves because my mind believes

I relax my jaw, drop my shoulders and soften my body

I can do anything for one minute

My body was made to to birth my baby

I can endure

I know what is right for me and mu baby

Thank you ladies, super helpful xx

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

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?

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! 🩵🩵🩵

I need some encouragement y'all.

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

For those that are paying attention to what’s going on in the US and the state of the WORLD…(Not enough people are)—How are you all coping?

How are you managing a full time job that is funding genocides—-Seeing our rights being slowly taken away. They already came for our reproductive rights. They’re trying to disenfranchise millions of female voters by passing the Save Act. Mainstream media and social media censoring. Mass civilian surveillance. Poisoned water, food. A health care system that puts a band aid on illness to keep the business going—and coming back home to your kids and pretending like anything about this shit is normal. Oh and our world leaders run the largest human trafficking ring. AND the US is trying to cover it up and refuses to hold anyone accountable. And these are the people in charge. Such commendable beings. I’m pretty anxious. So besides self care. How are you coping? Maybe you can comment on what you do for self care.
