High libido

Since i got pregnant till now, which my son is 2 yo now, I’ve been really horny.
When i was pregnant i could masturbate every single day, and then it was stop for a bit after a gave birth. Then it was back 6 months pp.
I didn’t tell my husband and i just pleasured myself than asking him.
Since he has a family problem he seems to have low sex drive anyway.
But because of that i feel so distant from him,till now it’s embarrassed me to started some intimacy.
But i can’t stop masturbate.
Is it a sickness. Or is my marriage is doomed?

I can kind of relate... what i chose to do was to stop masterbating. I figured it was the cause of me feeling ashamed so I couldnt connect with him as deeply as i wanted to. So I stopped, it is hard on some days but staying distracted was a big help. Knowing the reason why you are doing it and deciding that reason is bigger than a momentary orgasam. I avoided anything that could possibly tempt me, which was hard when my husband came home from work 😆
But I knew it would be worth it for the results. It definitely makes me cherish the intimacy we do have. (He is also low libido)
I dont think its a sickness, its your body balancing out hormones. Which go nuts during and after pregnancy.

Is your partner like this??

My husband is a really good man, with a good heart, good morals and judgment. He’s loyal, hardworking and responsible and all of that which I love him for…..but he’s usually not very nice or friendly! He can have a bad attitude, get easily grumpy or impatient and it can come off really off putting!!

I feel so terrible leaving toddler at nursery

She's been going nursery for 10 months. But as I dropped her off today she cried and screamed, she just wanted to stay with us. The look in her eyes.

I work a 9 to 5 from home and my partner works longer hours.

I tried for 18 months to work whiles she was at home with me. But it became Impossible, she needed stimulation which I couldn't provide while working. Trying to balance the both resulted in me going into a Pip and almost loosing my job.

I feel so lost and don't know what to do.

What are you getting partners for first Father’s Day?

I have no ideas haha

Surface level friendships

Is it just me or is anyone else finding new mom friendships when you have little kids just so surface level? There’s no meaningful conversation or connection & after the interaction still feeling empty. I’ve met so many moms but conversations never get to becoming more meaningful. It’s more taking little ones for play dates and not interacting much 😅

Who actually does pelvic floor exercises??

I’m getting close to my due date now and it’s hit me that I have not done pelvic floor exercises this whole pregnancy! I am now worried is it too late to start? Does every mum to be actually them? How do I know I’m even doing them right?
Also who actually uses there exercise ball? To me it is so much effort!😂

Anxiety

I am really struggling with my anxiety lately, even just thinking about leaving the house sends me into a panic attack.
I'm on medication and I do some coping techniques but some days that isn't enough.
I don't know what else to do.
