Homeless 2 months after giving birth

Hi everyone

It is a bit embarrassing talking about this here but I need some advice from someone who dealt with homelessness after giving birth/new mum
I am currently on maternity leave and had some family issues so I ended up homeless
I tried to rent but no one would accept me with my low income
I applied this week to waltham forest council they haven’t replied yet. This week is my last week at home and I might ended up in hotels

At this point I am thinking to go back to work 2 months postpartum with C section.

Go to the council homeless department and tell them you have no where to go today and need somewhere now! As emergency. If you telling them you are with family or you have somewhere you are not priority. Go with your bags and your baby and tell them you are homeless and need someone to live

Hiya I’m so sorry you’re going thru this.

020 8496 3000 that’s the Waltham Forest emergency accom helpline.

This is their twilight number so after 6pm and late number.

Don’t tell them you’re living with family otherwise they won’t see you as a priority.
Exaggerate and don’t sound calm on the phone.

Pack a bag for you and all ur baby needs and get down the council ASAP as homeless.
Tell them you have NOWHERE to go even for 1 night they will house you
Just did the same with my pregnant sis who is on maternity

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.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

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 🤔

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
