Intimacy

I'm 7 weeks postpartum and my partner is wanting to get back into the swing of things sexually, (he's not pushy or anything about it) but since childbirth I'm absolutely terrified! I didn't have a traumatic birth or anything, just a lot of pain with the stitches mainly. Any tips or advice?

Make sure you use lube. It will hurt a bit because it’s been a while, but as long as you start slow and he’s gentle, you will be okay!
Take it easy and if you have to stop, stop.

Yeah just be really open with your partner. Tell him you want to give it a try but need him to listen to you if it starts to hurt and definitely starts slow. Also agree with lube if you need it. I think my husband and I got back at it by 4 weeks and I had stitches. He went slow and it ended up being really good. So listen to your body. If anything hurts though definitely stop.

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. 🤍

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 🤣
