Pregnancy announcement

I was just wondering if any other august baby mums have not decided to announce on social media, I’m stuck between posting something and not, I enjoy the bubble of just me, my partner & close family knowing but then also don’t want to hide my pregnancy but don’t feel the need to share to everyone on social media as it feels more for celebrities or influencers to make a big post about having baby xx

It depends I only have friends and family coworkers on insta so would share no problem but I don’t really care for anyone else to see my life like I probably did when I was younger!

Honestly I did at 12 weeks but literally just because my mum already told everyone 🤣 I think I realised literally no one cares or should care if I’m having a baby, I’m posting on social media for what? Family that I haven’t talked to in over a decade or people I used to know in school? As I said I did once just saying were pregnant and that’s it, not even for the gender reveal party or anything

I think everyone will have their own idea on this. I’m not much of a poster anyways.i like to limit what people see.

I didn’t announce it with my first and won’t be with my second either! Whilst I did initially share some photos of him when he was a baby, we’ve decided not to show his face online anymore, so won’t be with this one either!

I've never shared any of my pregnancies or children on social media. I consider it private to close family and friends who actually check in only. But that's me as somebody who stopped posting much long before my first pregnancy

I didn't feel the need to share but still did a close friend story on instagram (11 persons) to announce it for my close friends and family that I believe would be happy to know about my pregnancy/delivery xx

i’m not posting publicly til baby is born, compared to my last pregnancy it’s really nice having some privacy and only close people knowing aswell as nobody in my business 😅

I did a jokey announcement about how I was at a whisky distillery but couldn’t drink at 6months on Facebook lol. Most people I cared about knowing already knew. It was more of a “mop up” by that point.

Sex

My husband and I have been together for 7 yrs and we have a 3 y/o and 6 y/o. Our sex life has always been very up and down. Not helped by the fact that early in our relationship I caught him masturbating to pictures of people we knew. I believe he has a very unhealthy relationship with sex.

However I also have a low sex drive since having our children. He argues our spark is gone and that I don’t put any effort in to get it back. I’m trying my best but I’m so tired all the time between working and looking after the children.

If we go a couple of weeks without he then will start to have a shitty attitude towards me, won’t want to hug me or want me near him.

He’ll ask earlier in the day if I think we’ll have sex that night and if I then don’t stick to it then it becomes a problem. I admit I probably don’t always try as hard as I could but I also think he has very unrealistic expectations.

I just don’t know what to do😭

Wedding ring

I think I want rose gold but I don’t know if it’ll discolour really fast. I’m going to be an old bride so I won’t get as much wear out of it as a 20 something bride 😬

Has anyone had this Moses basket from Amazon?

I’m struggling to find a decent Moses basket for a good price. My baby girl is due in July and I don’t know which one to get. I’ve seen Moses baskets for slightly cheaper on other sites, but I have a £70 voucher to use on Amazon, so I thought it would be good to buy it from there.
Let me know if you’ve had this one before 😊

Bestie ?

Feeling alone in motherhood, try to make friends but seems to never work out..looking for a true bestie. Long distance is not a problem! Someone to talk to would be nice!

Mama Friends

Feels like everyone, doesn't answer. Or does once and that's it. I want some genuine conversation and friends to call or text or hangout.
