I've always heard not to but not going to lie, I do a lot (and have done it with every pregnancy). I'm currently 36 weeks and at least once a night I am too stiff from side sleeping and will go into my back for a while. I also feel like I'm basically lying on my back the whole time I'm on the couch with my feet up. So, not a doctor, but it's worked for me and hasn't hurt any of my 3 pregnancies.

It's up to you, but most moms I've met have a hard time doing so.

I slept on my back throughout my whole pregnancy, it’s how I sleep I physically can’t be a side sleeper. However I did prop myself up slightly. I slept with 3 pillows 😅

Do you keep a bin in your bathroom? (Odd question I know)

I keep a bin in all my bathrooms and find it really weird when I go to someone’s home and they don’t have it in theirs. Especially when there’s women and teenage girls and they have to walk to the kitchen bin to throw their sanitary pads or tampons away.

Feeling so alone

I’m 7 months pregnant today. My child’s father and I just can’t seem to work. I’m feeling so guilty for bringing a child into a broken home, and feeling so alone. I know it sounds dumb but I’m missing intimacy which I haven’t had in so long. I also can’t get over the fact that I’ll have to share custody with him, I can’t imagine handing my baby over to him and not being able to keep him with me.
I have never felt so dumb, so alone, and just shameful.

Boring/ no sex

I’m so tired of having no sex with my partner. People go on about men have needs well erm women do too! I’m 6 months pp and i think we’ve had it like 3 times since little one arrived. I constantly feel horny.

Before i was pregnant our sex was often and it was good, i enjoyed it. He stopped giving me head before pregnancy and it was mainly because he didn’t enjoy it but would do it now and then to please me.He made a comment after I had the baby saying it will be a while before he eats me out again…

1. What makes him think I want him there so soon.
2. How dare he even be rude like that after I’ve just given birth
3. It’s been 6 months now and I’ve still not received it.

It’s not even just about that but our sex is so boring and all happens so quick. He even tried to skip foreplay last time and I was like no what are you doing!!

I suggested role play to ramp it up a bit and he laughed at me and when I said no I’m being serious he pulled a weird face. I also like being dominated and he use to be good at doing that and again it’s all gone. I said about getting new underwear and said to him why don’t he pick and he was like why what’s the point it will just end up on the floor…. I mean true but I’m trying to feel abit sexy for myself and him.

I feel like he has lost interest all together. He barely kisses/ hugs me unless I ask!

And this is the worst part but I find myself romanticising about past sexual connections lately because of being so sexless. I feel guilty but I can’t help it.

Need friends! 🥲

Honestly guys, I love being a SAHM but it can be sooo lonely sometimes. I moved out here to the Sacramento area for my fiance and left my college town where all my friends were, I’ve been here for a year now and I still have yet to make any friends, especially now that I’m a mom and a young mom at that. Then I found this app but it’s hard to find people that actually want to carry a conversation and get to know me, I understand mom life is busy so I don’t expect to text all day but like most convos on here don’t go past “hi how are you?” Loll idk maybe it’s just me. But I’m sooo in need of girl time so if anyone is interested in building an actual friendship let me know haha 🤍

Good morning moms. Im so embarrassed and ashamed to be making this post It’s been a rough week Ive been taking surveys to try and earn some money.I had to do a redetermination for food benefits and now they are pending. Im not sure what’s going on, Ive been back and forth with the food stamps office but still not worked out yet. I really need to feed me and my kiddos. I’m just asking for something to get through the weekend I am working and going to school. I appreciate it and thank you so much I have been to the food banks in my area and I have been in contact with churches and non-profits with no luck. Thank you and have a great day.
