Single parent help…

So I’m a single mum since I basically found out I was pregnant and my LO is now 9 months. My Maternity allowance ended mid December and I’ve put a claim in to universal credit but that won’t come in affect until end of January.

I’m due to go back to work in a few weeks so I will notify UC of this but I’m only working part time (12 hours per week) and the only other benefit I get is child benefit and I’m back living at my parents as it’s impossible to afford for me to live on my own.

As a single parent is there any other help I can get? I feel like I’m missing out on other things but I just don’t know if I am.

Any advice welcome

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.

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

Bestie?

Let’s skip to the good part and just be besties? Text, call, ft.. play dates or just simply hang out. Just want a genuine mommy friend. I’m in NYC but we can be long distance besties too 💕
