First Time Mom

This is embarrassing but it’s my reality right now. I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and I don’t have any form of insurance. We can’t afford anything over $150 a month. IF that. I don’t qualify for Medicaid so I’m literally lost and so scared. What did I get myself into 😭

I had applied for state insurance over two years ago before getting pregnant with my second, my status was “pending” for two years 🙃 I found a local hospital with a prenatal clinic & met with the on staff social worker & she got me approved for emergency insurance coverage in less than a week, the state insurance saw the approval & my initial application pending review and two weeks after that I got my state insurance identification card in the mail.

Yesterday I got mail from the state insurance saying my coverage has been active since 05/02/26, but lol on that date I didn’t even have the emergency coverage yet 🙃🤣

All that to say, my advice would be find a local hospital with a prenatal clinic & they will help you out.

Is this gay???

A man who claims he’s straight as fuck and in a heterosexual relationship receiving oral and giving oral to another man on multiple occasions. Is this bisexual, or bicurious?

Cheating husband

Found messages on my husbands phone of him dming multiple women towards the end of my pregnancy and even just 2 days after I gave birth to our second child. Honestly, it’s put me off him and I feel sick. Nothing can justify this scummy behaviour! So whilst I was birthing OUR child and going through all the changes he was just trying to get his leg over???? I confronted him and he said- we were in a bad place and you had said you wanted a divorce. LOL, the gaslighting is unreal! Because now he doesn’t want to give me a divorce. Little cunt

How to make money elsewhere?

OK so I currently work a 9-5. Making £4495.70 monthly. By time tax, student loan, NI come out all I get is £3060.

I ddont see myself being in this job forever as its mentally taxing and honestly the pay in my opinion is not great. Work is stressful and doesntly allow me to be a happy version of myself.

I am trying to think of other ways to earn money. I like the idea of working for myself.

Can you recommend ideas?

How long do you recommend staying in a job that you don't enjoy.

Childcare funding

Please can someone help me on when is the best date to put down to return to work to make sure I don’t mess the funding up.

LO is due to start nursery at the start of September, I was due back middle of October but having to end early for his funded childcare to be eligible for that term( will be 10 months old when starting).

I know I have to return to work within the 31 days of him starting the term,

When is the best date to do this to make sure I don’t mess up the funding?

Would the 30th September be fine to do or is a few days prior best practice?

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense
