Sex

How often do you have sex? I’m 3 months PP and have only had sex 2/3 times don’t even enjoy it as still quite uncomfortable from my natural birth. I used to have sex so often and I’ve just lost my sex drive. After a long day with my toddler and baby I just don’t want to be touched or dealing with any extra bullshit. Is this normal?

My sex drive massively dropped post birth. In the 15 months between my eldest being born and youngest being conceived, we probably had sex less than 10 times 🙈

Do you like it when..

Do you like it when your partner is in the bathroom with you watching you change your tampon and and clean up after the shower? I’m talking about your blood

Nursery costs

Hi, I’m currently pregnant and I’ve started looking at nursery costs.. and I am astounded (Nottingham area). I can’t afford to not work… but I can’t afford to put my baby in nursery. I can only take 8 months maternity as my workplace only offers SMP… so my baby will have to be put into nursery at 7 months old at the latest.

My partner does earn a decent wage to pay for the bills… but it doesn’t cover absolutely everything. Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m really stressing over this as it’s going to happen. Any advice (and please no judgement) is welcome

Work

I’ve gone back to work and feel so behind. Everyone I started with has been promoted and moved on within the organisation and I’m with a new team and feel so behind. Now if I was to have another child because I do I’ll fall even more behind 😭

Anyone else struggle socially at mum groups?

I’m quite an introverted person, and even before becoming a mum I already struggled socially, even back in my home country in Asia. Being new to the UK has made it even more challenging socially. I can speak English, but sometimes I still struggle with knowing the right words to say or what topics to talk about, which makes me feel even more self-conscious.

Now that I’m a mum, I really want to become more social for the sake of my baby. I don’t want him to grow up feeling socially awkward or shy like me. I’ve tried meeting up with my antenatal group, but I didn’t really connect with them. I also tried a church mums group and felt the same way.

Next month I’m planning to attend a sensory class and I’m hoping that might help. Has anyone else felt like this? Any tips or advice would really mean a lot.
