Anyone in LA?

Hey everybody!
I’ve had a miscarriage and i’ve been soft-ghosted by my best friend since then (although it kind of started when i got pregnant)
The grief (from the miscarriage) has been tough but im starting to feel like myself again. I’ve been wanting to meet other women who are going through the same things. Wondering if any of you are in LA?
Im part of an online support group for infertility/grief but i like meeting people in person.

I’m from LA but moved out to Denver in 2017… I still have close gfs out there and one is pregnant due in November and doesn’t talk to me as much (likely bc she’s very pregnant, still working and just got married tho) …that’s so sad your friend soft ghosted you! Why do you think that is? 💕

Thank you for sharing about your miscarriage. My body seems healed, i feel like myself again but still have some down days. I’ve had different feelings coming, these days im mostly angry. I know it’ll pass eventually.

I think my friend ghosted me because my pain was probably too uncomfortable for her.
In the past, i have been there for her when she was dealing with a breakup. I remember going to her house after work, making her dinner when she was too sad to do anything, being always available on the phone to listen to her…

She was happy when i got pregnant (i had been trying for over a year so it was not a surprise) but then she started to not answer my messages or put me down in front of other friends when i wanted to talk about my pregnancy symptoms (everybody knows the first trimester is not just rainbows and roses lol). At my birthday party, she made fun of my husband when he said he didn’t want to drink alcohol while i was pregnant to support me.

Lots of little things happened like these that hurt me but were not important enough for me to really confront her.
I also thought that maybe it was hard for her to see me happy because she wants children but her relationship is not really good so I kind of let it go and didn’t hold her accountable.

Then i had my miscarriage at 12 weeks. She reached out the first week like many people. Didn’t make the effort to come see me but i didn’t ask, i was not very social.
Months passed, she would not initiate contact or if she did it was to invite me to some social event that i didn’t feel like attending at the time.
Anyway, last time i saw her i told her how difficult my grief was. Didn’t feel any empathy or compassion coming from her. She also talked me down about my career (i was facing career challenges this year) and said i should maybe think of doing something else. It’s kind of ridiculous when i think about it now, i was just in the dark and needed her to have kind words.

I have decided to stop reaching out and so she kind of faded away…

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
