Baby Brain

Please tell me I’m not the only one really struggling with this? I’m doing really silly, forgetful things, losing really important things and just in general feel very absentminded and not really knowing what’s going on 😂🫠 any tips, tricks or just general reassurance that I’m not alone 😂

That is completely normal...and fun fact, it stays once the baby is here for about a year! Yay for us 😅😭

Haven’t really got any tips as such but just to say your not the only one! I had my second baby 4 weeks ago and my baby brain has been awful the last few days. My head just feels constantly foggy and confused 😂 I find the one thing that helps me is getting outside and doing small things that I’d class as normal things to do, even if it’s just going to the shop and talking to another adult 😂 think the sleep deprivation has a lot to do with it too though!
Also just to say that it does get better too, with my first I thought I’d constantly feel like it but it does start to lift!

I went to make an omelette. Heated the pan, beat the eggs… and then poured them straight into the sink instead of the pan. Why? No explanation. Brain is just OOO 🧠😶‍🌫️🌫️🙃

It’s not just at home. At work I open a spreadsheet and stare at it and try to figure out the formulas for 30 minutes, like I’ve never seen one before.

Yep. Cut potatoes to bake and put the pan in the oven…came back about 15 min later to check on them just to realize I never stated the oven in first place 😩

Super normal, can last for a few years, basically while pregnant your brain re wired itself so you can care for your baby, makes you more maternal and can hear your baby cry when you are asleep etc.

Should trans people have to disclose they are trans to potential partners/dates from the start?

And should it be classed SA if they sleep with someone without informing them, and this person wasn’t okay with it?

I hate how my boyfriend acts

I do. I love him but I hate how he acts. It’s like he cant be honest with me in the moment & then blows up later. I don’t think I can do this for much longer. I hate it. Advice?

What do I do?

I broke up with bf before the baby was born. He never wanted the baby and tried to manipulate me into having an abortion and was very hit and miss with being present up to birth. This didn't bother me but he went around telling everyone I ruined his perfect family and ignore his messages. The only time he messaged me while pregnant was to say how much he loved me and wanted to get back together. This turned into harassment which went as far as messaging my mum and sister who's only 12 sying i'm hormonal and don't know what i'm talking about. He never once asked about his child, if he did I would answer. Since the baby was born he's had minimal contact with the baby and barely asks how he's doing. He hasn't contributed to anything. I've brought everything, gone to all the lessons etc while he hasn't done anything. I just feel at ends wit that i,m getting hammered on social media by his friends and family about how i'm a bad mum for taking away access to his son which I haven't done and how they will make sure he knows what I did when he grows up. It's constant back a forth he says I'm keeping him away from his son but he posts online that he wouldn't be suprised if it was someone elses baby and how he wants to move away but he can't do that anymore because the baby holds him back.

He messages me the week he's nearby and says I'm coming to see him in the next few days when can I come round. I feeling like i'm being made a fool because he knows I won't fight back and I'll give him visitation because I want them to at least tey and have bond.

On top of him doing all this he's trying to start a relationship with someone with children. I feel awful saying this but what makes her children better than the one he's got and has abandened.

I just don't know what to do anymore. Going to court seems extreme but what else can I do?
