Contraception

I'm just wondering what people's experiences are with different types of contraception post partum. I was on the pill prior to having my baby but reluctant to go back on that. I did try the coil but that didn't agree with me. Any advice would be appreciated x

Hey mommas, this is absolutely out of my comfort zone but I’m all done feeling lonely. Im a mom of three girls (5yo, 3yo and a 4mo). I’m also engaged and been with my man for going on 8 years in December. I’m an introvert until you really get to know me and I’m comfortable with you. I love to read romance books, bake whatever sounds good— lately that’s been any kind of bread and cake pops. I also love to binge tv shows new and ones I’ve seen before. I like to be at home but I also really enjoy getting out, going to parks or getting a treat. I’m returning to work part time from maternity leave in early August. I’m an RBT so I’m always with children and more adult conversations would be a bonus. Im located in northern Indiana but I’m open to a long distance friendship.

I’m looking for a best friend, someone to text back and forth, chat over FaceTime about our days, send TikTok’s or reels back and forth, etc. Just someone to share life with, support each other and confide in. I want a long lasting and meaningful friendship!

Which job?

Context: SAHM with 2 special needs children. Husband works hundreds of hours per week and averages 4 hours of sleep, so I do 100% of the parenting, household work, and garden maintenance. Having said that, both kids will be at the same school this year and can do before and aftercare there, allowing me to work.

Job A: 1:1 RN for medically complex child who needs me to attend school with them, follows my children’s school schedules, summers off, etc. $44/hr FT, provides consistent work but forces me to delegate some of the household stuff like cleaning and yard, also difficult if children are sick as I have no support or backup and would have to call out

Job B: contract WFH AI research job, 20 hrs/ week, $75/hr, could end though at anytime though (1-6 months)

What kind of jobs do other mums do working around childcare and school?. Im searching for new work but almost seems impossible to find the right hours.

Im looking for help

Im at my breaking point, this is a long one I (25f) am married to my husband (24m) and we have had a sort of openish relationship he got involved with this girl who just turned 20. She is now living with us in our spare room paying half of the rent. We are doing this to help her because she is an orphan and apparently has no family and was abused by her foster family *i dont believe her background* but she has major attitude issues which i tried so hard to ignore as im really pregnant and have a toddler to care for ive got enough on my plate. I used to take her to work she works third shift with my husband but she has a different time she works because they work in different departments so I took her so my husband could get ready two days ago she woke up late and had an attitude it was horrible I was driving her to work and she kept rushing saying she was going to be late I ignored it 2 times and just told her I was getting there as fast as I could then she flipped out on me and started saying I should have woke her up and its my fault and a lot more was said we argued and I got mad and dropped her at the next gas station and told her I was not going to be disrespected and I am not her mom she is an adult and it is her job to get herself up and ready. She acts super entitled and trys to start drama almost daily so when I finally snapped it all came out. I went back home and told my husband what happened and he got ready really fast and said he was going to work early so he could leave early (3 hours early by the way) he basically ran out of the house and im almost 100 percent sure he ran to go pick her up off the side of the road. I asked him to not take her home when he got off and he blatantly lied to me and told me she got an Uber back to the house. When I got in our car the next morning all her work stuff was in the front seat and the passenger seat was leaned all the way back. Also she couldnt have put her work stuff in the car after work because it was locked and she doesn't have a key and there would be no point to him putting the passenger seat down like that. That is the issue she disrespected me completely and my husband ran to her. It makes me sick to think about i talked to my therapist and she recommended it take 2 days away from the house and both of them but I dont have any family I can stay with on such short notice and I dont have money to get a room right now because im out of work due to being high risk. I want to leave and tell him to choose but I need somewhere to stay first. Please comment any ways I can get any help leaving or maybe I can drop my cashapp and try to raise enough to get a room for two days?

Sex

I’m a little scared to have sex again. I’m 8wks pp, and I had a 2nd degree tear which is now fully healed up but it still freaks me out lol. I definitely want my man, but besides me being scared, all I think about is my baby. On top of that, where are you guys doing the do? Same room as the baby? I might be putting too much thought into it, but I don’t think I could even get in the mood with my baby in his bassinet next to the bed. Has anyone else felt like this? No judgement please! I don’t have the capacity for that today. Or any day really lol.
