Low sex drive

Since giving birth the thought of sex makes me feel physically ill. I love my partner so much and I know it’s nothing to do with him. I genuinely think I’m broken. Is anybody else feeling like this? Or any advice to get past it? It can’t be nice for my partner and I feel really guilty x

My partner and I haven’t had sex since around my 16 week scan. I just don’t have any desire to as my brain is entirely consumed by our LB. No advice as I’m also working through it 😅 You aren’t alone. Hoping someone will appear with words of wisdom! X

Eugh I feel the same! It’s now become a joke in our house 🙃 X

I think its a totally normal biological reaction when we have a baby. Its your body’s way of saying ‘no more babies just yet’ because it knows you are looking after one. And if you are breastfeeding you are probably not ovulating either which will really knock your libido !

Completely with you. My other half was expecting something special for his 30th birthday, two weeks ago - sorry to disappoint. I do occasionally help him out, reluctantly.

Glad to know I’m not broken either reading this and other comments! 😊 I couldn’t think of anything worse in just permanently exhausted! And the more he tries it every night the more it makes me not want too!

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. 🤍

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

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