pretty specific poll... moms who had their first baby in their early 20's!!

My baby is just 8mo, and I absolutely ADORE her, I think she came to my life at the perfect time, even tho she wasn't planned. I love being a mommy, even tho I lost most of my friends (if you can call them that lol). I used to be THE party girl, smoked weed and tobacco and drank a lot, and my lifestyle obviously completely changed.
Until today, I hadn't missed going out, but suddenly missed the feeling of it, the uncertainty of what would happen, the euphoria and happiness of being drunk and dancing. I felt guilty even writing this. Again, I wouldn't change a single thing of my life, but was just wondering if you ever go out again... I thought about it and can't figure when will my baby sleep through the night (we are quite far from that yet), when will I be able to go out again... my BD still goes out every weekend, and until today I didn't care now I'm a bit jealous.
I know time flies, this past 8 months have gone so fast! So I'm enjoying every moment of my baby! But can't help but wonder...
No judgment please! Feel free to share experiences or opinions!

forgot to mention: I do have a lot of support from my mom, and my BD too. We are not together at the moment, but have a great relationship and schedule, and the goal is for my baby to stay with him overnight in the future!

It feels like the sleepless nights will never end, but they do. Mine are 5&7 and I go out with my girlfriends or date nights with my husband occasionally. It will come soon!

Do you use condoms with your spouse?

I heard that couples don’t use condoms…

Even if they are not conceiving and they don’t want kids, they still don’t use condom…

So I was just curious

I thought only people that hook up with strangers use condoms

Anyone else feel the same way?

Hi mamas ! I’m 8 months pp and have a beautiful baby girl but ever since having her I’ve had the biggest identity shift and almost don’t know who I am. I looked up and ppd can make you experience derealozation/depersonalization which I feel as though I have. I also have ppa and hate being alone. Will this ever go away?? I just want to feel normal again :(

Why does motherhood feel so lonely?

I am a new SAHM with a 4 month old son. Sometimes I struggle with routine. Should I go out and meet new people? Walk in the park? Have solo dates with my son? I am always in my head on what to do next that sometimes I stay stuck. Anyone else in this position? If so let’s connect 💬

Women been told she can't get pregnant, being intimate with friend for over ten years confusing relationship. She gets pregnant after 6 years of unprotected sex father doesn't want child.. Should she...

Asking for a friend who's in this situation. What would you do or tell her... I've told her well medical science has always been behind in female understanding follow your heart do what you want, you haven't trapped him he can decide whether he wants to be in the child's life and well he should have put something on it... I'm curious how society will she it if she kept the child.
