Don’t feel bad! The baby is growing, your body is getting TIRED! Hormones are ranging, and people keep on talking. It’s fine to not want sex right now, you got other things that require your focus so grab some chips and watch a movie 🍿 you’re doing amazing 💕

i totally understood. same here. i’m almost 32 weeks. i love him so much and i’m still attracted to him, i just feel so uncomfortable all the time lately since reaching my third trimester and not really thinking about it or in the mood. i feel terrible but it is absolutely normal from what i hear. it’ll be ok. tell him how you feel also and express that you still love him and find him desirable, you’re just in the final stages of building an entire human and you need some time and understanding. he’ll understand just be transparent.

I’m a little behind you at 33wks. What I want or can tolerate literally changes every few days. We just have a lot of direct communication about it. — When I want it too, we have to take turns finishing and most of the time now I can only finish wearing a vibrator and grinding. Actual sex doesn’t feel very good. — But there are many times we try that for a bit and I just have to tell him I can’t get there. Those times feel disappointing. — Other times I’ll tell him in advance either I don’t want to do anything at all or that I’ll do a hand job and some oral for him to finish, but I don’t wanna do anything more. — There are still sometimes he wants sex and I’ll tell him I can lay there naked and be verbally engaging if he wants to just look at me and finish himself. 😂 Our sexy time can range from actual intimacy to I might as well be a talking picture on the wall…but I try to help him get what he needs best I can because his hormones aren’t shot like mine.

I felt that way my whole pregnancy 🤷🏼‍♀️

35 weeks here, I want it all the time. But it’s hard to enjoy it because my body doesn’t want to move the same. When I’m on top I get a cramp before I get there. When I’m on the bottom I can’t breathe and when it’s from any other angle I don’t get the stimulation I’m looking for to be able to finish. I’m considering a toy to help. But I honestly don’t know where to begin looking for one that would get the job done and have enough reach to get around my belly. Lol. And I can understand him not wanting to eat me anymore because my smell has changed and I don’t enjoy it if he’s not enjoying it. He loved it before but lately he doesn’t seem to want to as much when my scent changed.

I have had sex maybe twice this entire pregnancy 🫠 I just don’t feel cute. Plus I had three losses before this so it makes me nervous. My poor husband.

During my first pregnancy, we barely had sex because I didn't want it. This is my second pregnancy and we don't have sex because I have a toddler who tires my husband out too much, but I'm more interested in it this time around than my last. I'm always the one asking where he was during my last pregnancy.

Baby poops

I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.
Pic so we don’t get lost

Leftover pregnancy/postpartum products

I have a load of leftover products either unopened or only used once, it seems a shame to throw them away any ideas what I can do with them? I don’t have any friends expecting or likely to get pregnant soon and I guess most places wouldn’t take them as donations? Based in London.

Feeling anxious and depressed

Hi everyone
Sorry about the subject I just want someone to talk to. I’ve been feeling anxious and depressed for a long time but since having my children I just don’t want them to see me sad and worried all the time.
I went to the doctors to discuss this with them and was recommended doing couch to 5k with no other help offered? Is this normal.
I understand exercise can sometimes help but I don’t have the time whatsoever as I have no family to help.
I cried my eyes out to this male doctor who offered a few leaflets and couch to 5k and ended it as that.
I left the room in tears.
I’ve never wanted to burden anyone with my problems so I’ve just kept silent about it ever since but I just want to feel happy again
I’m sorry for the sensitive subject

Milk leaking

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop milk leaking? After pumping I’ll put on a nipple pad but it gets soaked up and I leak through my tops/pyjamas.

Does anyone have any nipple pad recommendations? At the moment I’m just using the Boots own make.
