What do you do with your free time?
I am taking the rest of the week off and am starting maternity leave next week. Currently 39weeks and 5 days and I have been working till 2 days ago. I’ve been feeling pretty good overall so i haven’t necessarily slowed down too much, like I’m still “running” errands like groceries shopping, house chores and all that. But when everything has been done, vacuumed dishes shopping tidied up, what do you guys do? I’m finding it very hard to not feel like I’m wasting time like I could still be working kinda feeling.

With my first pregnancy my ob had me take off 4 weeks before due date and I ended up being induced about 10 days early. I just got house ready and rested per docs orders.
This time around I am a sahm chasing a feral toddler so no rest. I am scheduled for induction on the 24th and plan on making a few freezer meals beginning of next week to make the immediate postpartum a little easier. Didn't do that the first time and I think it will be extremely helpful this time with the toddler and whacky sleep schedule. Also just daily cleaning of the house because it gets torn apart every day with toys and chaos.
Please get some rest while you can 💗

Found out a month ago he was cheating. I was considering leaving. Then tonight he went out with friends. I grabbed his phone while grabbing the baby’s bottle
and just tonight he messaged someone on tinder, tried to go to the strip club with a friend and called some place at 1:30 for a massage
Need some validation or something cause I feel crazy

Encounter with a Weirdo
Today I had my first encounter with a weirdo! I was shopping baby clothes at Target with Julian when a guy (probably around 30) approached me. He complimented my belly and said his "wife" (he was alone) gets "baby fever" whenever she sees a pregnant woman. He kept asking when I was due and how I was feeling—so far, so good! I was polite and told him I felt fine and that I was due in three weeks. Then he started asking weird questions, like: - What does it feel like when she moves? - Do you feel butterflies? - Is it intense? - Can I touch your belly? One question after another. When he asked about touching my belly he was reaching out his hands to touch it. I took three steps back and said "No!" He quickly turned around and disappeared. For a moment, I thought he was actually going to touch my belly. It was the most bizarre encounter of my life!

Feeling lonely and excluded
My husband and I were from different areas before we met, I moved in with him and now we have a beautiful baby. I have no friends or family nearby. My husband comes from a very large family and several of his family members had babies around the same time we did, which is nice but I never get included in any group events/outings/group chats. Even his mom I expected would want to stop by more often, but she doesn’t. I spend 24/7 with the baby and I love him to death but I rarely get adult conversation other than my husband. I feel like I am all alone as a new mom

Please help me I’m debating with a “male human” he likes to refer to himself
Do you believe we are here to have sex and only that only? Like there’s not so many other experiences of like that exceed feelings you experience in sex? Laughter has be studied to be more enjoyable/wholesome feeling then sex can. I’m here for opinions.
