Feeling so sad my baby experience is over 😭

It's my little boys 1st birthday today. I also have a nearly 2.5yo. I'm a single parent.
As much as I know I couldn't physically, emotionally or financially cope with another child, I'm so sad that I don't have a baby anymore and I'll never get to experience pregnancy/birth/newborn stage again.
I always said I wanted 2 children and I have 1 girl, 1 boy who r my whole world and im incredibly blessed, i love my children with all my heart and i know im so lucky to have them but I keep thinking if I was younger and not doing it alone, I'd happily have another. Silly coz I'm not younger and I am on my own so it is what it is. I felt like this a lot after my youngest was born and I thought I'd gotten over it but it seems to have come back with a vengeance whilst approaching my sons 1st birthday.

I feel you! We have 3 gorgeous children and neither of us want any more but my little girl is 1 in a week and I'm super sad about it. I havent felt like this with either of the others and I know it's because I won't get to experience it all again! 😢

@Amy as soon as my oldest was born, I couldn't wait to be pregnant again. I really missed it, even tho I had my daughter here in my arms. I felt it a bit after my son was born but it then eased a bit but, even after a tough pregnancy with my second (spent the last month on crutches due to severe spd and agonising pain) I still hate the reality that I'll never be pregnant again, never see my baby on the scan screen, never feel a kick or roll. I am so so thankful I have experienced it, not once but twice and I feel like I shouldn't feel this as I know a couple of women who would give anything to be mums and would be incredible but sadly they haven't been able to

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

Vitamins?

Does anyone do vitamins for their one year old?
Just seeing if it’s worth trying as the never ending colds and illnesses are battering our house 😂
