Any other mommas struggling??

Hi all mommas! Anyone else struggling?? I currently have a 2 month old who’s almost 3 months. I have not been working for almost 4 months and still have yet to receive my maternity leave benefits. Sometimes it’s hard because I do this all on my own and I am trying to make ends meet.. it’s hard especially going through postpartum alone. I’m just really going through a tough time especially since my baby girl is always sick and everything is piling up.. I try and do it all for her.. I’m not sure what else to do. Sometimes I just need a pick me up but it’s hard to go anywhere with babygirl

You’re not alone mama 🫶🏼
We have my husband’s income, but I’m a full time SAHM now and will forever be unless I need to go back to work for some reason in the future. We’re just fine financially, but I can totally relate to you with all the other things.. it’s always something it feels like? I’ve been battling a health issue since giving birth for almost 3 months now, so I mourn not being able to be the best mom for baby. We hardly ever leave the house because he’s not the easiest baby. He always wants to be held and hates his car seat so car drives or pushing him in the stroller is practically a no go. I love to baby wear, but with my health issue I’m in pain if I wear him for too long. I need to get out of the house soooooo bad but my anxiety goes through the roof just thinking about leaving.
Here to say we all have our hiccups, but you’re doing the best you can 🫶🏼

I feel you girl. I’m used to working a lot and being very independent, so being a sahm now only relying on my fiancé is weird. We’re making ends meet, but I’ve applied for snap benefits, wic and state healthcare, which has been really helpful for us. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me!

Tbh, I used WIC for about a month, and it was limited for me for what was offered, but still helpful. I am receiving money for baby bonding, but still not quite enough.

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

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.
