Maternity pay

How is everyone making extra money whilst on maternity leave?
I already have a lot of anxiety around money even when I was at work (I earn a good wage, never had any debt troubles it’s just the huge reduction to my wages I’m struggling with)

My husband works full time and has a good wage but is covering more of the bills as it would wipe all my money out if not which I am very grateful for
However he has been saying he’s rather burn himself out and get another job for a few months so we don’t keep discussing money worries

I’ve said I don’t think this is the best idea as he’s already tired after work and we won’t get to see each other much

I just want to know if there is anything I can do besides child benefit and UC

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 🤣
