The Coil

So im due my 2nd child in March and due to complications am having another C section. When i was last seen at the prem prevention clinic they asked me if i wanted the Coil fitted after having the baby! I hadnt really thought about it and they said i can think about it.
I dont think i will be wanting any more children but my partner having a vasectomy seems very final.
I dont really want to go back on the pill again as ive been on it since i was 15 (im now 35)
Just wondering what everyone else is doing via contraception and for those who have the coil what are the pros and cons. Ive never suffered with heavy periods but am prone to thrush which ive heard can be a con if you have the coil?

I got thrush constantly with the mirena coil.l tried to persevere between May- December to see if it would stabilise. I had it removed recently due to the thrush and now I’m TTC anyway as soon as it was out the thrush has gone and hasn’t come back.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
