Intimacy during pregnancy, feeling lonely

Hiii girls, just wanted some advice....me and my partner have barely had sex through out our pregnancy and when we have, ive initiated it which is fine but the further along I get the more I feel bad about myself and it doesn't help when hes barely ever physically intimate even just like kissing or holding me. Today before work he seemed into it so whilst hes been at work ive sent some photos and messages so far all ive got back in response to the pictures was "you're pretty" and in the messages he keeps just responding "hell yeah" and I get the feeling hes uninterested and its putting me down. Anyone else in the same boat?

I was struggling with that with my first pregnancy. I had a talk with my partner and he said he was worried and stressed about hurting me or the baby and didnt know how to initiate. Just have a conversation with him, he might just be feeling the same way.

Is there something wrong with me?

No one ever replies to me. Comments or messages. I’ve reached out a lot and not a single person has ever wrote me back. Is it the way I look? What’s so terrible about me

Sex drive issues

Bit of a personal post but I need some advice, I’ve always struggled with my libido especially since I went on the pill when I was 14 and i was on it for 6 years until I decided enough was enough as it destroyed me completely.

When I came off it i felt great and felt like I was going back to ‘normal’, but since having my little boy I’ve been struggling and it’s really affecting my mental health and my relationship. My partner is very understanding and wants to support me but I’m not sure what else I can do to get it back 🙁

I just don’t feel normal and feel broken in a way? All I want is to be able to feel that connection with my partner too.

Has anyone else experienced this and have any advice? I have an appointment booked to see a nurse to discuss it but thought I would see if anyone has any other suggestions.

Dumped 2 months PP

Boyfriend broke up with me & left.. claiming he isn’t in love with me anymore but still loves me? I just gave birth two months ago. Idk how to navigate this and I’m so terrified of doing this alone and I obviously have no income.. he claims he’ll take care of us but that sounds too good to be true. Looking for advice and some positive affirmation here. Our relationship was so beautiful and then he completely flipped a switch & says he isn’t cheating. I’m so devastated

hi girls!!

i would just really love a genuine best friend tbh!
one where we can just talk about anything and everything with no judgment
has a child around my age and who is around my age so we’re going through the same kind of life stages!
i’ve always wanted that one genuine best friend, where we’re like each others favourite friend, where i don’t have to second guess if they’re closest friend is me.
and one where we’re basically joint at the hip 😅😅
i’ve always somehow been the second choice and backup friend lol
it’s pretty lonely right now ngl, for me and for my daughter who has no friends

i live in wales and i’m 22, daughter is 2

Vitamins for 11 month old

Is anyone able to advise on some reputable vitamins I can give my almost 12 month old baby?

She has under 500ml of formula a day now, so I need to provide her with vitamins but I can't see much online about which ones are recommended?

Any suggestions would be great!
