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!

I had that same problem sex being uncomfortable while I was pregnant my husband and I didn't have sex at all during my second and third trimester nor the 6 weeks but also why it was uncomfortable for me is because I had BV so you might have the same thing I suggest you talk to your ob about it

😖😖 I’d make him answer more questions. What does he mean temptation. Does he mean acting on it , or what? That seems like he is being selfish. sir you better say more than that t

I also had the same issue. We had sex once while I was pregnant I just couldn't do it comfortably
I think you need to talk to him real open and explain why it isn't working for you. And if he can't stay away from temptation then maybe he isn't in it for the long haul. My husband was super supportive and understanding that I wasn't comfortable during and after pregnancy and tbh I've always had a bit of a low sex drive. If he can't deal with that he may not be a keeper. And I know that sucks to say but 🤷🏻♀️
Hi, 18 yo pregnant girl from UK finding it very hard to find friends on here as everyone seems to be a hell of a lot older than me or just not interested in replying! i’m a student who studies from home only, live with my partner and super non judgemental, music lover and wanting to find real solid friends to hang out with and explore this journey together. any messages welcome :))

My baby is 13 weeks old and I noticed small, white bits (discharge?) in or around her vagina.
I don’t know if it causes her any discomfort.
Should we go to the GP?
Could I have caused this by incorrectly cleaning her during nappy changes?
How do you clean your baby girls, especially after a poop?
I know to only wipe front to back.
I don’t use any harsh materials or chemicals. I use WaterWipes and switched to a “natural”, bamboo based disposable nappy. The discharge was there before the nappy switch.
We bathe her every other day.

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

Hey! So I'm torn between whether to carry on working or whether to quit and look after my girls.
I've only just gone back to work after my second who is nearly 14 months, my first is 3 in December. My first child has been at nursery since 13 months, the past 2-3 months she has been saying she doesn't want to go to nursery, shes had 2 weeks off and is really struggling to go back, we've had lots of tears and begging not to go. My youngest is also settling and my goodness it's like someone is ripping my heart out twice 😭
After we've paid for chIldcare we don't see much of my salary and we are fortunate that we wouldn't need it so I don't necessarily need to work. I have them 2 days a week and that can feel like quite a lot, we don't have family nearby and my husband works long hours and I'm concerned that I won't be able to cope, and I don't have anyone around to help. But I can't get away from feeling as though I'm going to regret not spending this time together but I'm worried that if I don't have some headspace then I won't be the Mum I want to be. I'm struggling with this decision so badly! Is it something you adjust too?
Has anyone had a similar experience, or can give any advice at all? Thank you!

Hi lovely Mamas! I’m creating a keepsake book that captures the funny little things children say between ages 2 and 4.
I’ve narrowed the cover down to four options. Which one feels the most premium, special and giftable—the kind you’d be drawn to on a shelf or choose as a present?
Please vote A, B, C or D from the photo. I’d love your honest opinion! 🥰

Tbh I need friends. I had a couple friends who turned out to not be the greatest when I wasn’t around. That’s ok we’re in different paths of life. I would like to surround myself with people who will lift me up and be there for me when life is hard. Like minded individuals to surround myself with. I consider myself more progressive so that would be a plus because I love to talk about the current state of the world. I have an 8 month old girl and just wanna do better for her and myself. I have nobody in my life to support me and I consider myself a good person and great friend and I want that to be reciprocated. In NC but idc to do long distance.
