Contraception

Approaching my 6 week check up with the GP. Just wondering what contraception others opted for postpartum. After my last child I never went on to any contraception but this time I am planning to. I hear so many pros and cons surrounding each choice. I’d just like to get others experiences x

Guilty for even thinking this

Does anyone ever feel like you’ve wasted your life or have unfulfilled potential. I’m young and my husband and I weren’t necessarily planning to get pregnant but it happened and I had my baby shortly after graduating college. I worked for a little bit but I always wanted to he a SAHM and that didn’t go away when I got pregnant so I stopped working and have been staying home ever since. Sometimes when I see ppl my age or my friends/classmates starting their careers I feel a little bit like a failure??😅like I didn’t even get to use my degree. I love my baby and I love being home with them and being a mom I rly wouldn’t have it any other way but there’s those times when I feel like that. I feel so guilty when I think like that bc I feel so blessed to be a mom and to be even able to stay home.

The father of my unborn child is cheating on me with his patient.

Originally, I found an origami crane on display. I asked him about it. He said he got it from work. I found that odd and suspicious. A little context: I made one of these before. I showed it to him. He basically told me it wasn’t good enough. The one his patient made for him was far worse. Mine never got put on a shelf. It was thrown away. Today, sitting by his beloved paper craft, I found this folded note on the back of a coloring page. I suspected he was cheating on me at work but my suspects were a nurse, one of his colleagues, and his boss. No, of course it was his patient. I took these mementos down to confront him about them. He made me throw them away because he was afraid that I would bring them to his workplace and report him! He began interrogating me about a carrot by yelling at me and asking about its location. I had no idea what on earth he was talking about. He didn’t believe me and thought I was hiding it from him. Then he realized I wasn’t lying and began to promise me that there never was a carrot. I was appalled. Later he admitted that there was indeed a cardboard carrot that she made for him but claims he threw it away prior to me finding all of these macabre souvenirs and forgot.

Lonely

I moved to a new city and had a baby. It feels like the perfect recipe for loneliness. I try reaching out to new people and putting myself out there, but I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me. I have no friends, and it seems like I can’t make any. I’m not giving up, just in my feels today. Can anyone relate?

I’m stuck between the peace of having older “independent” kids vs the itch to want to have another baby🥵

Someone help, talk me out of it!!

wfh jobs?!

hey mamas are there any work from home jobs that we know about that preferably don’t require talking on the phone? a girl is desperate but has severe anxiety 😭
