Ppa And struggling

I'm suffering from ppa and it's been really hard. I wasn't entitled to any maternity from anyone so relying on benefits until I'm sorted. My health visitor is referring me to food banks And baby banks but could anyone help while i wait for the referral? I need nappies and food so badly I'm constantly crying I feel like I failed her. Sorry for being so embarrassing And depressing I'm sorry I don't have many people to rely on.

Thanks

Hey how old is your LO? If newborn I have a few bits I may be able to send you we have sized out of. If you are Midlands based there is also a charity called Bundles of Hope in Long Eaton that may be able to offer some support. If there's a way to DM me please do. Motherhood is the hardest thing I've been through and it's even harder when you don't have enough support. You haven't failed anyone, keep giving your little one all the love you can and you will work the rest out in time. You're doing the right thing in asking for help and accessing services X

Baby no.2

No job, already have a toddler who is 2. What do I do! Applying for jobs like mad, looking like mad. We’re getting a council house soon but so stressed. Do I work or do I be a stay at home mam?

Any advice?

I know no one will answer truthfully

Do you really want to make friends or is it that you want followers , numbers , or and ego boost

Do you think it’s appropriate ..

For your husband to go hang out at a bar with his best friend who is a known avid cheater because he’s feeling down?

🩸 Tracker App Requests!!!!

I can’t find an app that is free to use for my dot. I don’t want a subscription. I just want something to track it for me for free.

Are there any or no?
Because I’ll just continue writing it down if that’s the case.
