Does anyone else feel like they can’t wait to have their baby so they can have an excuse not to have sex with their partner🥴?? Not that he forces me or anything…but I’m genuinely not interested in sex these days and it would really hurt his feelings if I told him that. I’m pregnant, I have a toddler that doesn’t want to sleep in her bed lately and literally wants to sleep draped across my head…I’m overstimulated…I don’t want sex…I don’t even want to be touched! Once I have my baby, it’ll feel like a break😮💨

I get that. I’m sure we have different personalities and histories, but for me, I was straightforward with my husband. As a general rule, we don’t have sex unless it’s an emphatic yes from both of us, but I have such a nonexistent sex drive that we typically don’t. I feel bad for my husband, but we talk about it from time to time, and so far (3 years), he’s still honest with me and completely in touch with how I feel.
Long story short, talk to him. I know some couples go to a “sex schedule” during these down times to keep things alive for them but just communicate

I guess not wanting sex every time he wants it may be a new experience for you, but it's pretty normal in my relationship to say when I'm not in the mood and he has no issue. Try it, he may handle it better than you are imagining....

I can relate. I agree with the ladies above to at least try and tell him. He may respond better than you think. Pregnancy has a massive effect on your body and hormones are so out of whack, so it’s not like it’s the new normal, it’s just the phase of pregnancy you’re in. I feel bad if it goes too long so I will make an effort to have like a long shower or bath to myself before and if I need an extra 20 minutes in bed to myself I’ll just say “hey it’s not you, I’m just overstimulated and need my personal bubble for a few minutes”
I recently left my partner of 4 years, I don't know whats wrong with me, i haven't cried or anything, but i feel so lonely, I just cannot get passed this feeling, I have had friends over but once they go, its back to being lonely again. Has anyone had this before ? What do i do?

Hey everyone I’m McKenna my son was born in July. He is my first baby and I love being his mommy but I’m also kind of lonely. It was like once I had my baby people got excited for about 2 weeks then fell off the face of the planet. So I’m looking to connect with other moms who are in a similar boat to me. I would love to get to know some of you!

Looking for some mom friends! Don’t get me wrong I love my kids and love being with them but sometimes I need some girl time! I’m in the southeastern Idaho so I’m looking for some besties in that area to just connect and chill with. I am LDS but you don’t have to be LDS to be my friend.😊

Hey mommas if you ever need a friend or someone to just listen I will be here for you even at 3am. I’m a good listener and can give good advice. I can even just be an ear if you want to vent and it doesn’t have to even be about anything serious. I’m here for anyone who needs anyone cause I know what it feels like to be alone and like you have no one in your corner. And I will be in your corner if you need.
