Life is hard!

Is anyone else struggling a lot with just general life at the moment? I’m 26 weeks and I go back to uni next week and I’m so worried about how I’ll cope. I also work full time and I’m struggling to get through the days! I feel like one off word from someone and I’ll just cry my eyes out! I don’t even want to meet friends at the moment I feel like I have no energy ☹️

I’m usually a really well organised and pragmatic person but I just can’t seem to keep it together at the moment!

Just want to know if I’m going crazy or if anyone else feels the same. Any tips on feeling better would be amazing too♥️

No, you're not going crazy. I'm exactly the same. Feel like my mental health has taken a massive downturn recently. Really struggling with everything. Thankfully we've got a holiday coming up and I'm off work until the end of September so hoping I'll feel better after that.

Pregnancy is tough! Have you had your iron levels checked recently? I definitely feel much worse when they drop…

no I haven’t, do I just ring the gp and ask for it?

ah that sounds like a good plan. I haven’t got any holiday left to use as I’m using my last 2 weeks to put before my maternity starts on 27th November. Hope you feel better soon x

You can ask your GP or your midwife. When is your next midwife appointment? If it’s a while away then it would be worth contacting them and telling them you are struggling with your energy. Good luck! It’s really hard at times I know

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 🤣
