Hey, I felt this way after my first. It passed. I think It was resentfulness towards him. Feeling frustrated that I was the main parent having to remember everything. I hope it passes for you too x

Have you tried talking to him and explaining you need more help? Because a lot of men are dumb. They just think youre home cuddling the baby, all the time in the world. But this is a full time job, just as demanding or even more so then theirs. Atleast they get lunch breaks etc! So try talking and explaining how youre feeling etc x

I'd say talk to him about how you are feeling.

If you had a September baby, absolutely no one is experiencing LOVE. He got me in the predicament 😂.
It will pass, in the first year of babies life, it’s easy to neglect each other. Don’t rush to end it. Give it at least 2 years, unless he is a real prick.

Similar, but I think it’s because I feel more that I am parenting alone and I am on maternity leave which makes me think hang on, you don’t pay me. I get paid by my company to be off work looking after the baby, so from 6 pm. It should be fair game and both responsibility and that doesn’t always happen. I do mainly baths and bedtimes he is a great dad and I do still love him but I don’t know if it’s the hormones or what but there’s definitely a lot of resentment there
Completely lost my sex drive since becoming a mum. Last year we had sex once and I got pregnant 🤣.
We have 2 under 2 now.
We last had sex around 6 months ago - which induced labour 😃
I feel awful but I just never have the capacity for it, never crave it. Don't think it helps that I'm struggling with my body image.
My husband tells me constantly how beautiful I am & looks at me the same as he always has.
When we do it, its mindblowing & i think "why dont we do this more." But then I guess, life gets in the way.
I feel bad on my husband as we don't have any sexual contact but I almost feel sick at the thought of it.
It's not a reflection on him because hes fooooinnneeeee 😍 and i love him with my whole heart.
It's me thats the problem. I'm going to the gym & eating well to try lose weight. But what can I do to get it back within myself?

Petition: Make statutory maternity pay 90% of wage for first 12 weeks & minimum wage after
We believe mothers should never be forced back to work because maternity leave is unaffordable. UK SMP is among Europe’s least generous, falling to around 41% of minimum wage after 6 weeks. The Government should fix this and give mothers 12 weeks of Statutory Maternity Pay at 90% of their salary.

You can have a lovely conversation with another mum, exchange numbers and genuinely think, “I’d love to be friends with her”… then somehow life gets busy and you never actually see each other again
Sometimes I think we all want mum friends, but we’re all tired, busy and waiting for someone else to make the first move.
So I’m curious… what do you find hardest about making mum friends?
Is it approaching someone? Keeping the friendship going? Finding mums with similar interests/ages of kids? Or just finding the time to actually meet? 👀
Let’s have a real mum-to-mum chat 💕 And if you’re also looking for genuine friendships, don’t be shy — say hi, you never know who might be looking for a mum friend too 🫶🏽

Hi Moms! 💕
I’m looking for the kind of friendship where we actually become part of each other’s lives. Someone to do life with, make plans, go out, try new things, have random hangouts, talk about everything, celebrate each other, support each other, and be there through the ordinary little moments too. I’m definitely a high maintenance friend in the sense that I value consistency 😂. I like friendships where we keep up with each other, make an effort, communicate regularly, and actually spend time together. Not the “we should catch up sometime” and then disappear for three months kind of friendship. 😭
I’m easygoing and love a good laugh, but I really value intentionality, reciprocity and genuine connection. If you’re also looking for a friendship where we can actually do life together, whether you’re in Lagos or somewhere else in the world, let’s connect.🤍

How many people have asked their parents to borrow a bit of money to help in the last few months of maternity?
I’m down to £0 pay for the last 3 months and will be picking up an extra job next month but my friends suggested asking my parents to borrow a bit to help me and my parents have made me feel like this is unacceptable and I shouldn’t have asked them.
