anyone else terrified of having sex again?

I was bleeding so heavy on my first period and a pad was not enough, but I still can’t even get a tampon in. and if I cant get a tampon in then… how am I meant to have sex😫

I had a C-Section so I have no damage/tearing down there to be worried about.

My partner is so supportive and patient and doesn’t mind at the moment, but I still feel bad!

Anyone else in the same boat?

On my period now and pad isn't enough either. Gone back to maternity pads.
I've had 2 C-section now and the first time wasn't a problem. I wouldn't worry. I had stitches in this time round as slightly tore when they inserted a balloon to stop bleeding. I'm sure I can still feel that. So my second time might be different.

Small age gap

Morning everyone!🥰

I am just after some honest advise
I have an 8 month old, soon to be 9 months and I have found out I am 7 weeks pregnant. It will be a 16 month age gap which is quite a small gap, is anyone else in the same position or similar age gap?

How did people/ your employer react?
I haven’t gone back to work yet, I am due back next month and I am really struggling with the thought of telling them I am pregnant again as I will only be back at work for around 5/6 months and I feel awful!

Thank you in advance☺️

Nursing pillow

Hello, 37 weeks here and starting to overthink everything I've prepared (or not) for the baby. We haven't got a nursing pillow yet, but I now wonder if it is something that we should consider buying? I'm planning to breastfeed and this is our first baby, so all still very abstract to us.
Do you have one? How are you finding it?

Really angry then crying a lot. Googled it the babies can feel your anger or upset and they can which made me cry some more 🥺

Anyone else?! 🙈

Support please 🩷

I’m not sure why exactly I’m posting this but I discovered last night that I’m pregnant, I think about 4 weeks. It wasn’t planned and I’m so scared of going through all the tough months again. 😔 I can’t imagine how I will look after two together.

Proud of myself

Finally letting go! Finally accepting that I’ll be a single mom and doing it without the father. Overtime I will learn to become comfortable with this more and more. I am finally going to walk away. I know I will be fine, I can do this. I just hope my next pregnancy be everything I’ve ever wanted but for right now I will just accept it and I can’t wait to meet my baby boy in 3 months!
