Birth Control

This is a hard post to type out. I’ve always wanted multiple kids. At least one of each gender. I thought having one of each would complete me. I had my first baby (girl) back in November. And mentally it’s been a rollercoaster. I’ve been on meds since about 36 weeks pregnant. I’ve since then upped the dosage. The thought of having another kid honestly gives me PTSD. I loved being pregnant and I love my baby. But mentally I don’t think I could do it again. Not now anyways. Maybe sometime in the future. With my hormones already being all over the place, I’ve been thinking about getting the non-hormonal copper IUD. Has anyone had any experience with this? How did it go? Did anyone have it removed before getting pregnant? And if so, did you struggle conceiving? That’s my biggest fear. If I do want another kid in the future, I’m scared getting on the IUD will mess with my fertility. I’ve just heard so many women struggle after having an IUD.

Hey!! I understand you ssooo much! I also would love another one but SOME time in the future. Definitely not doing that two under two thing. For me that’s crazy! I’m barely keeping up with everything with one! Plus third trimester was really painful for me. A lot of terrible hip and round ligament pain and labor was also difficult with baby in special care so I feel like I’m still recovering from that. You should only have a baby when you’re ready. It’s such a massive thing to take on again.
I had a hormonal IUD Skyla I’m the past. Inserting it wasn’t super pleasant but lasted less then a second (and let’s be honest, after child birth it will be nothing lol). Removal also lasted less then a second and this time I didn’t feel a thing. It was very convenient as a contraceptive. And both times I got pregnant during my first cycle so right away. I removed the IUD about half a year before we decided we were ready to start a family and we used condoms in between that time

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. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?
