Weird one but has anyone else noticed their teeth are weirdly yellow?

NOTHING else has changed. Same toothpaste, same brush, same routines, same food. Teeth look so yellow. It’s either another wonderful side effect of postpartum/breastfeeding or the matcha, thought I’d ask to figure it out

I have had 3 pregnancies and have had loads of trouble with my teeth since the start of my first pregnancy. Never had a filling, issue with gums etc in my life. I developed gingivitis in pregnancy, had bad morning sickness and my teeth turned translucent and weakened. The dentist said a lot of women have issues with weakened teeth and enamel during pregnancy and postpartum (hence why we are SUPPOSED to get free dental treatment). I’ve spent £3100 on getting it all sorted so far and counting 🤮

It definitely can be side effect of pregnancy+ breastfeeding. Both takes a lot of calcium out of your teeth and bones and often quicker than you can replenish it. This is why you get free dental in the UK in pregnancy. If you haven't already, I advise a trip to the dentist and consider supplements or diet changes whilst breastfeeding.

So my understanding is that breastfeeding takes calcium from your bones/teeth rather than from your diet, which is why some people lose/chip teeth while BFing. I would try increasing your calcium intake, maybe taking a supplement to replenish your calcium stores.

Not feeling excited..?

I am currently 37 + 2 and labour day is coming soon. I am not feeling very excited tbh, feel sad that my child free days are over, that my life will never be the same again and worrying that I’ll be a bad parent (and an anxious parent too).

I’ve been with my partner for 6 years, we own a house together and generally speaking we have a lot of support however I’m also concerned he isn’t growing up enough because of the support and dependency (from his family) and lack of maturity around what it’s actually going to be like having a baby. I fear he is too positive about it all and to be quite honest that really annoys me.

I’m not sleeping, I don’t feel supported and I am so uncomfortable in this heat. Ironically, the physical aspects of birth don’t worry me too much it’s just everything else!

Can someone please sense check me and tell me everything is going to be okay?!?

How many country's have you visited?

How many countries have you been to?

Before having kids it was a goal of mine to visit every country in the world.

So far I have been to 31 countries. The crazy part is I didn't even have money back then to travel, but some how god or law of attraction made it happen.

Since having a child I haven't travelled much.

I'm just curious what your travel history is like and if travel slowed down after kids.

Would you hire a single mom as a nanny?

She would bring her young kids as well or you could bring your child to her place.

Relationship issues

Hello! My partner complains we do get to do stuff for ourselves anymore and that it isn’t “normal”.

Do you let your partner do things by himself while you look after the baby? And then the other way round ?

Many thanks !

Boyfriend takes long 💩

I know by the title alone it might not seem like much. But does anyone else’s boyfriend/husband do this as well? Literally every single time he needs to 💩, it’s anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes (his longest one, I was curious so I timed it) like bro. Does it really take that long every time?? I’ve looked it up and it says when they do this they have a medical issue and should get it checked. I’ve been with him for 2 years and he’s always done this. Even before getting together people have told me how long he takes in there. I’ve checked through his phone( I know, but whatever) like literally everything. Every app, every deleted messages, every back up I can do, everything and there’s no sign of cheating. So now I’m curious if anyone else’s man literally shits for an hour or if it’s just mine. And does it seem like there’s more he might be doing or just really sitting there for an hour shitting and scrolling TikTok?? Sometimes it drives me crazy bc this morning for example, wakes up later than he usually does, then is now taking his 40 minutes long bathroom break then will have to immediately get ready for work and leave. Like 0 time together before he leaves for work, then when he gets home he always has to smoke and then go shit for another 40 min-1 hour. Like please tell me others have this problem with their partner and it’s not just me.

Am I over reacting?

My partner (26 M) has a job where he does 2 early morning shifts 2 late night shifts and then 2 night shifts. Followed then by 4 days off. Which means I care for our baby by myself through the duration of the 6 working days. He may do the odd bottle or nappy change but this is quite rare. On his days off he refuses to do anything, again maybe the odd bottle etc. I’ve told him I feel so burned out and he just carries on just the same with no acknowledgement of my words.

He doesn’t clean, tidy nor cooks. And we still go 50:50 on all the bills.

Before I totally errupt on him am I over reacting should I say something? I don’t know what to do anymore.

Thank ladies :)
