Early wake ups

Hello ladies, my nearly 8 month old has finally started sleeping through the night 7:30 ish -6am however the past two mornings he has woke at 4:40 and 5:40. Whilst I know this is still amazing so please know I am absolutely not moaning but seems far too early to start the day.

He is only having two naps a day however with the earlier wake up he’s requiring more and I’m struggling to fit them in around my 4 year old!

Any advice on how to tweak/ change this so he at least sleeps until 6 ish??

Thank you xx

Sex after birth

Sooo I’m just looking for some first hand experiences
I had a second degree episiotomy and the idea of sex scares me soo much ! How long did you wait till you had sex again? Did it hurt BAD? Basically I want all the details 😭

Anxiety

Hi guys, I had my little girl last December, my anxiety is just sky high, I'm on sertraline but that doesn't even help at all, I feel like my brain won't ever stop or calm down, like it's going to burst, it won't let me relax, I suppose this isn't a question just a rant, I feel like I can't breathe sometimes :( I can't sleep when I finally get the chance so I basically never sleep either, I feel so unhealthy.. also if anyone relates and wants to be friends let me know on comments or message me 🩷

When did your kids start calling you “mom” instead of “mama” or “mommy”?

My kid isn’t even 4 and sometimes calls me mom. :( I correct her most the time because she is an actual baby, and she seems so big saying mom

Wrong or no?

We are first time parents, living in a two bedroom with another couple so our privacy is VERY limited. Is it wrong to be intimate in the bedroom while the 10 month old sleeps? Or is it horrendously disturbing?

Being pressured on having a second child

Baby girl is only 7 weeks and my MIL is pressuring me to have a second. I’m content with one. We never thought we could have children so it’s amazing to have baby here now. I’m an only child and I turned out okay. There also plays the fact of time and finances. We have dogs and an apartment.
