Feeling lonely, even around people.

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I was informed about the emotional aspects of pregnancy, but I never imagined how lonely I would feel. With the father not being present, effectively making me a single mother, I do have my family and friends who can offer support. However, despite this, the loneliness persists, and I find myself crying frequently. I can be around a group of people laughing and talking, and suddenly, the loneliness hits me, causing me to burst into tears. Is this normal? Is there anyone else experiencing similar feelings?

Hey, I’m in the same boat. I have my days where I feel okay and find a way to keep a smile on my face and others when I just can’t keep it together. I’m also 27 weeks as of today and a single mom, it’s tough. I was just scrolling but wanted to take a second to share some kindness and remind you to take your time to process this change and take good care of yourself. Joy is coming ✨

Anyone on here get pregnant with precum?

I started having sex with my husband with no protection and then he put a condom on mid way through.
I now think I might have been ovulating 🙈 I thought I’d already ovulated but the day after I got ovulation pains.
Has anyone got pregnant this way? (For the record I wouldn’t be planning a pregnancy right now as I have a 13 month old but equally wouldn’t be devastated if it happened accidently)

Cheating…..

What would you do if you find out your husband is cheating on you while you were pregnant and postpartum and you have a child. He’s willing to change but trust is already broken…..

Tell me about your ideal friend hang out day. I'll go first.

So we meet up to go thrifting, the antique store and the farmers market to start with. Ice coffee in hand. Then we go out for lunch. Then we hit up color me mine to paint some mugs. Followed by a second hand book store and dinner. Finishing off with ice cream and a thriller or horror movie at my place.

18 days after C section, Vagina is red raw

So I had my c section 18 days ago & at the start of the week I noticed I had a UTI which was there from day 10 but it got worse so I’m on antibiotics for a week for that, however my vagina is red raw. All around my urethra and external vagina is red, it’s also uncomfortable. I had a midwife check this on Friday however before going I had applied a thrush cream externally which I’ve used tonight and checked and it’s making the skin go back to a normal pinky colour yet still with discomfort, so she would’ve seen this colour and only some redness which she said, just not the red raw before I apply cream…

What could be causing this? I have no tummy pain or fever etc
