Looking for friends 💕

I’m a first time mom. Pregnancy & postpartum has been tough for me. I’ve been handling things solo for the most part, and just want to branch out, meet new people and hopefully make genuine connections

How do you accept money?

A childhood friend offered to send me $100 because he knows I’m going through a tough time. I’ve never been offered money before and have never asked anyone to borrow money. I don’t even know how to answer yes. It feels so weird. We only speak through Instagram so I don’t think he still has my number.

Do I reply with my phone number and say “you can send it through Zelle or Apple Pay” — that sounds so crazy to me.

Someone please help!

Do you get any baby-free time in your day?

Mums, do you get any baby-free time in your day? Time for just you. Just to be.

I feel terrible but I find it difficult to be with my baby all the time. I just feel like I need time away from her sometimes. Apart from my husband I have no one else around to help with the baby.

Hormonal Acne

Heyy! Is anyone else struggling with hormonal acne!? I swear my skin has never been this bad not even when I went through puberty! It started maybe when I was 5 months pregnant and it has gotten gradually worse! I don’t know what to do. I have tried all kinds of creams and ointments, I even resorted to using sudocream!!

I called the GP and a very polite man told me my hormones will balance themselves out in time and to think about having a hormonal coil. Which is something I’m open too, but I have to go to a clinic for this and when I called the one they suggested they told me this wasn’t the right one. Which felt embarrassing and now I’m demotivated to call the GP again and I keep praying for my skin to get better and my baby weight to drop off after 10 months postpartum and I still look pregnant!

Sorry that got a little ranty ! I just am struggling with how I look so long after giving birth!
