Intimacy post-partum

Myself and my partner haven’t really been intimate (sex specifically) my entire pregnancy, naturally I’m feeling insecure about myself and worried. He worries a lot about the baby (I have worried a lot less) and he’s also said he doesn’t think he could be intimate with a baby in the room.

Safe sleep guidance is for baby to sleep in the same room as you for six months, so does that mean no intimacy for six months?

I feel like the lack of intimacy is affecting my self confidence.

Of course baby safety is more important than intimacy - I just wonder how everyone else does it?!

Random question, do you believe that you can beat your partner in a physical fight?

A lady said that when she’s very angry or trying to protect her children, she can beat any man

Okay, when you are fighting for your life, do you think you can physically fight your partner?
No weapons

Just using your hands and legs

Struggling

Im 8 days pp and im struggling 😞 does anyone else just feel over whelmed and cant see how they are going to do all this? Im staying at my mums so she can help but now i feel bad i cant do it by my self 😭

How would you feel about this situation? (Mum friends)

I have made 2 mum friends since I had my little girl in May.

I live in one village and they both live in the next village over, literally a 5 minute drive away. I met one first and then we met the 3rd mum a few weeks after and we all became friends really quickly. Turns out they live only a few streets away from each other.

Obviously with them living so close to each other they meet up frequently for walks round the village and I'm starting to feel a bit left out.

I still see them every Friday for baby playgroup, so I'm still included, and I don't want to seem clingy but I would like to be invited to the walks sometimes.. I don't mind driving round and meeting them. But I understand its probably just something they do last minute. Idk, it seems like they're going out for walks most evenings and I feel dumb for feeling left out 🥲😪

I feel so done..

My phone is basically a paper weight at this point, drier than the Sahara desert. I have one friend that isn’t really a friend because she ghosts me when she gets a new man or gets busy with something else. Every blue moon she’ll text me saying she misses my child but is so dry about it!! And family members don’t even get ahold of me, my husband has been home lately so he doesn’t even text me anymore… what is the point of a phone!!!! Being sick and being depressed has really put me in a mood lately, at this point I don’t even think I want friends anymore😔

How long did your partner have off when your baby/babies arrived?

How much of this was paternity leave? How much was annual leave?
