Sensitive cooch?

Usually I am the one with the high sex drive, but ever since I’ve been pregnant… I’ve not been in the mood and it’s annoying. I feel bad for my boyfriend! :(

Mentally I am thinking about sex but my body is like “no” and I think it’s mainly because after we do, I’m so sore and sometimes it’s almost like raw and itchy, which I’ve never experienced. Doctor says all of our tests came back with no sign of anything and she doesn’t see anything wrong, she gave me a cream for the itching part but I’m really wondering how to avoid it all together? It’s so unusual for us. We’re both very clean people & unfortunately it’s still embarrassing to ask other moms because people associate those symptoms with infections and pass judgments instead of acknowledging everyone’s body is different during pregnancy and likely wouldn’t be willing to admit they’ve experienced the same. NO JUDGEMENT ZONE! If you’ve experienced this please send advice… we just want to get back to the sextivities. 🥲

Sex for me is painful after now. A little bit of itchiness so I can understand how that goes. I try to still have it even when I'm not really in the mood but, in the mood or not, it hurts after.
Would a warm wash up after help with the itchiness?

Postpartum recovery can make you feel dry especially if you are breast feeding. it is very normal to experience dryness. I agree with lube will become your best friend.if you find that awkward for you and your partner you could use a pre-lubricated condom or both. Just make sure if you use lube and a condom it is the type of lube that doesn’t degrade the latex. I use astroglide and it is safe to use with a condom.

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂

Something you’d never buy second hand?

What is something you’d never buy second hand and can’t believe people do. For me it’s clearly very worn shoes or mattresses🥴

Has your child(ren) ever made an unauthorized purchase on one of your accounts?

I left my son to watch tv alone in my room while I switched the laundry over and not 2 minutes went by before I got a notification thanking me for a 1 year peacock subscription of $116.

Luckily Roku refunded me and I’ve since added a pin but now I know it really is that easy for kids to make quick and expensive purchase without us knowing.

Second income/side hustle.

HELP! What are you decent and genuine source of second incomes or side hustles if you have one? My maternity leave is due to end as my baby will be 6 months. Cannot afford to be on SMP or go part time. I would love to go part time and do something else as well as.

Please send over any advice! TIA xo

Hi guys

I had a friend group of me and 2 other people. One of them was my best friend. I would play games with her, call her, and text her everyday. I was really really close with her. The other girl was my friend. She never texted me first. We only talked if she texted us in the group chat or if we all played Minecraft together. We all had a Minecraft world together that we played on. I’m not friends with either of them anymore since last night and I’m having a really hard time dealing with it. It really hurts. This is also not related to this situation but I also just lost my other friend. I’m going through so much right now.
