Periods

Is anyone using hormonal birth control really just as a period deterent? Or as a way to know exactly when your periods coming? I was on birth control a few years during highschool but then I went off for a few years before I got pregnant. I really stopped because I wasn't haven't sex and also because my family is really concerned about the negatives of birth control. My husband thinks the same as my family and im not pro or against either way. But I am starting my first period postpartum and wondering if it'll be worth it to either skip or track periods. Also im not breastfeeding or pumping at all so im not worried about baby but im open to hearing side effects and positive for me and baby of birth control.

What would you do if your fiance the father of your 2 year old went out last night saying he’d be home at 12:30am instead come home at 9am…. Keep reading

So his phone died (this wasn’t a lie his phone is kinda broken and doesn’t charge well) so he had zero communication with me form 10pm to 9am so he didn’t tell me he was going these places as he should.

He proceeds to go to the club with his friend who is also a father and husband then to frat party and got really drunk and fell asleep on the couch with his friend at the frat party…
I know he didn’t cheat becauae they both are loyal but it’s the part where he didn’t tell me he was going to 2 places a man should let his fiance know he’s going because there will be drunk females at both and just out of plain respect…

He came back at 9am acting normal like what he did wasn’t absurd and crazy he claimed he avoided females but he was just out having a good time and got carried away

keep in mind he’s 25 his friend is 30
But FALLING ASLEEP at a frat house while you are married with a baby at home is wild work at am I overreacting for being so concerned disrespected and mad????

Keep in mind he’s not a cheater nor is his friend so their purpose wasn’t to go out and cheat but I feel weird because if you are that drunk how can you know what exactly went down I mean he fell asleep there that’s the part that really buggs me I’m just so upset I was unaware of all of this until 10am

He’s never done this before he’s never cheated and never not communicated while out he also only goes out with that friend maybe twice a month and it’s not to a frat party or club so I’m highly confused and concerned he doesn’t understand that even tho it was once that exactly what raises my concern even more I DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO NOT TELL ME HE WAS SLEEPING AT A FRAT HOUSE he left me worried all night and I’m the bad person for screaming at him because I’m feeling diminished…

Gonna give this another try

Heyy! My name is Marie, I’m 24 and a ftm to an 8 month old baby boy. I struggle making friends and keeping them. Keeping them is my hardest issue because I’ll talk to you for a few days but then life gets busy and I completely forget to respond until I suddenly remember 🥲. I am inconsistent at times, but I am a good friend and a great listener. So… if you don’t mind me not texting everyday, let’s be friends🫶🏽

Is there any getting over it?

Me and my bf dont argue
But we bicker about 1 issue quite abit..
He doesn't see any harm in checking other people out, out and about and although he thinks hes discreet hes not
I dont agree with it, i didnt used to care before my partner but when i got pregnant i started getting very self conscious, and its only gotten worse since, everytime he looks elsewhere it makes me feel so ugly and worthless, like im not enough for him. He knows it all as ive said we disagree about it alot im just not sure if its something i can get over. I now have dreams of him cheating quite often which takes a different kind if toll. I feel so unattractive. I honestly feel less attracted to him too, he knows how if affects me but instead of helping me feel more secure in our relationship he keeps up his silliness.
It came up again last week, it was my oldests bday, we took him out to a zoo with his dad and while we were all sitting down at a table both my ex and boyfriend checked out the same person, I've honestly never been so embarrassed.
He knows it makes me feel like hes stuck with me because i got knocked up, he just doesnt care

5 weeks + 2 days

Just found out a few days ago that my partner and I are expecting! We’re absolutely over the moon, but I’m feeling a bit nervous too. I’d really love to connect with other mums-to-be who are at a similar stage in their pregnancy 💛 I’m from Newham, London x

Incredibly sexually frustrated.. rant

So the past several weeks I've had a really hard time finishing during sex, ill get close then be hit with a very painful contraction making it so I don't finish, and if I try to finish after the contraction passes I just get hit with another more painful one, again making me not finish. I use to love having sex with my hubby but now every time im horny or he's horny I just get sad because I know I either have to have a lot of physical pain to finish or I don't get to. Last night I initiated sex but after the third time of trying to finish I ended up just laying on my husband crying while he tried his best to comfort me. Im so sick of it, I want this kid out of me already and I want to be able to enjoy sleeping with my hubby again and not cry after 😭😭😭

(Also just to clarify, I dont just want him out so I can enjoy sex again. Im very excited to meet him, and we love him very much already. I don't want anyone taking what I said the wrong way lol)
