PPA and leave ending

I go back to work on 4/20, I WFH but with my job I have calls all day and I can’t do baby duty and work. My step mom will be taking care of my son while I work which I am so grateful for but the anxious thoughts won’t stop.like what if they get into a car accident, what if she accidentally forgets him in the car, what if he falls or is scared or gets hurt. My brain will not shut off. I’m really struggling but I need my job and I need the help.

Can you speak to your OB and potentially get on a medication that can help? And maybe even get a therapist? I had PPA so, so horribly and I never even realized it. It consumed me for a year and a half.

I believe in the power of prayer and releasing all fear, anxiety, stress to God. You cannot be everywhere all the time. There will always be unforeseen danger but inviting God and his angels into your child’s life will make the world of difference! It wasnt until I put my trust in God that i was able to relax and understand God will always be there to help whatever the issue! And he will protect.

Definitely worth talking to your Dr. I had PPA dreadfully and medication helped immensely.

Are we all making out with our friends?

I’m just gonna jump straight to the point lol. I want to find friends I can makeout with. Girl friends. I’m in a loveless marriage I don’t want to get a divorce but I’m literally dying inside without someone to pour my cuddling and kissing needs into. I guess I just want to know if there’s any other moms out there that have successfully found a deep friendship with another woman that they were able to bring to the next level without actually having sex.

Male low sex drive?

Anyone got a male partner with low sex drive? Feels very rare and lonely to navigate as men usually are these horny rabbits.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise with this?

I am currently pregnant and our relationship has been on the rocks but the sex life has been poor for a few years.

Feeling so alone

Honestly feeling so alone in this season of motherhood. I don’t have a friend close enough where I can just call to have company, or to talk to about things I’m currently going through and honestly it feels really lonely. All my friends are childless travelling the world, partying etc and I’m currently pregnant with my third. I find it hard to connect with other mums tbh and I don’t know why.
