Now what
I launched my business 2 days ago
I spent months getting off the ground and now find myself “waiting “ to see if it kicks off
I am not used to failing, I like control and now I feel guilty in case my project doesn’t succeed I ended wasting all this time that I could’ve used to spend with my kid
The image is what we’re selling, it took so many waking hours, sometimes 12h days, and nearly a burn out 😅 but moms are not engaging yet

Small feedback. The image looks AI enhanced or generated (as a lot of the words are nonsense) which would make me think it could be a scam or the items wouldn't look like they look in the photo.
Congratulation on launching your business just think positive when you first start a business it’s hard but when I started my business, I just went to events any events at all and I promoted my business promoted on Facebook groups and just think about positive things positive energy hang out with entrepreneurs that will work out for you. Good luck to you.
I’ve been managing my therapy practice for 2 years now and I failed in some ways but I succeeded in others. Businesses sometimes have trial and error, but allowing yourself to push through the waves of worry and doubt add important
Feel free to message me, would love to hear more since I work with a lot of moms

Do you get help financially from husband?
Do you think it's within reason to expect your husband to help you financially when you go on maternity leave and your personal income is significant lower/ giving money for grocery or stuff for baby?
And if you have extended your maternity with unpaid leave should husband give you money to cover your own bills including credit card? Or because thats your own debt he shouldn't contribute?
For Context I'm now not getting any pay for the next 3 months and he has not offered to give me any money but I have personal bill/credit card to pay. Even in the 9 months he has not once asked if needed money or when I buy things for baby he hasn't asked if I need the money.
I considered applying for UC as I can't rely on him financial but he earns too much so I probably won't get it ..
just wanted to see what other people's situation is like? I hate not being independent and ask for financial help but that's the situation I am in now

feel completely stuck and I don’t know what to do anymore
I feel completely stuck and I don’t know what to do anymore 💔
I’m a mum of 3 children, including a 10-week-old baby, and we live in England. My family are all in another country, so I don’t have anyone nearby to help me.
My husband is from Pakistan and his family are all there. Every year, he goes to Pakistan around the same time and stays for around 3 months.
Last time, he left when I was 9 months pregnant and didn’t come back until our baby was 2 months old. That was such a difficult time for me.
This time, he left again when our baby was only 4 weeks old. We had agreed that he would only stay for one month, and I agreed because I thought we had made that decision together. But now he has told me that he only agreed to one month because he didn’t want to upset me, and that he actually intended to stay longer.
I feel so hurt. It feels like my feelings and the agreement we made don’t really matter to him.
While he’s in Pakistan, he calls me when he wants to. Meanwhile, I’m here with three children, including a tiny baby, doing everything on my own. I feel exhausted, lonely and honestly very resentful.
I’ve reached a point where I don’t want to live like this anymore. I feel like I want to leave, but I have no money to move and no family here to go to. I don’t even know where I would start.
I know some people might say, “Why did you accept it?” or “Just leave,” but when you have three children, no money and no family nearby, it isn’t that simple.
I just want to hear from other mums honestly — what would you do if you were in my situation? Would you stay and try to work through it, or would you start making plans to leave?
Please be kind. I’m really struggling and I just need somewhere to talk about this. ❤️

I need a friend or few friends
I moved to England (London) last year with pregnancy. Had my baby last year October. I’m currently pregnant again. I feel like I didn’t get my spark back before taking in again. I don’t feel myself. I really need a friend or few more just to keep going 😞

Husband struggling with temptation
I have struggled with low libido for a while and normally will only initiate sex or engage to please my husband. I have been researching and trying to figure out ways to increase my libido but I think it’s partially because I have a tight pelvic floor making sex not always comfortable or easy. Now that I’m heavily pregnant my libido has plummeted even further to none existent and with my body aches and just pregnancy in general i told my husband not to expect anything until after birth. We maybe only did it 4 times during this whole pregnancy. Now he tells me he’s struggling with temptation. How do I deal with that?? I feel so inadequate but also that he’s being selfish.. I’m growing a human being!
