Having to move back in with parents…

Im a little lost. i have a newborn baby boy and my fiance and i currently live in a town house but the rent cant be paid this month on account of my being on maternity leave and his job not giving him extra hours. We have a few more days to try to get it paid but it’s genuinely not possible..so i talked with my mom and we’ll most likely be moving in with my parents.

They have a separate bedroom and outside fridge for us but thats about it. It would be major downsizing but we’d be able to save so much. I’m going back to work next week even i’m only 2 weeks postpartum (i work in healthcare and had to use my FMLA during pregnancy for sickness. i have a good relationship with my parents but it’s still a conflicting feeling. We’d also have to start all over with the hunt for a place to live and get approved and everything.

Has anyone else had this experience? if so…any tips for this transition?

Is there any way your parents can help you for the time being without you moving in. I only ask because (my experience) I currently live in one of our parents home. They aren’t here full time but even then it’s honestly the worst decision I’ve ever made, I had my own place but for some reason made the decision to move.. I didn’t even need too but wanted a better home for our child since we were in a small apartment before, now my dad throws it in our face often. Thinks he doesn’t have to clean anything and will complain if the house isn’t spotless (I bust my ass cleaning this home every single day) if I ask him to do something he’ll say “I pay the bills so I’ve done my part” he won’t even take out the trash.. make it seem like he regrets the decision, i lost the comfort of my home, and also he brings it up every chance he gets that it’s “his house” unsolicited. Not saying that will happen to you and hopefully it doesn’t.

I understand! Sorry for the rant I just wish someone told me beforehand I could’ve avoided the headache :( I hope it’s different for you it doesn’t always end up being such a negative experience!

any tips👅🤣

I feel like i’m not very good at giving head lol and aside from like conversations i have with my partner of course i feel like im not very good at it, i feel like it takes a while for him to finish and it’s not like i’m blowing his socks off 🥴😂

Maternity Bucket List

I go back to work at the end of April and don't want to feel like I haven't made the most of my time off. I'm looking for suggestions for must do activities. My LO is 17 weeks. Thanks

Ok ladies... Let's talk panties lol.

I am honestly sick and tired of tampons and pads. 🤣🤣 When wearing a pad I feel like it's moving and I'm getting my underwear messy. When I wear tampons if it's not in correctly it's horrible, if I'm not bleeding enough it feels horrible or when I'm not in the mood it feels horrible. And both make me feel icky so I've been thinking of trying period panties. What's everyone's thoughts on this one? And then if you do use them . TELL ME HOW THEY WORK! LOL Do I wear one all day or do I need to change it a couple times. What do y'all do? 🫣😄😜

Are there any REAL people on here?!

Seems I keep finding "fake" people looking for friends cause everytime I think I've maybe found one, they POOF disappear......

ISO : Genuine, truthful, no bullshit friends that I can message, text, video call, etc if need be. Someone who will listen and wanna be a part of my life and bring me into theirs. I would love someone local so we could go try new places, go on adventures, have playdates, and actually hang but I'm not opposed to being able to chat and video someone long distance (my best friend lives in Florida and we have never met IRL) so if you fit the mold and wanna go get tattooed, feel free to comment your favorite color, movie, and what your favorite picture of me and part about my about me section was (that way i know you're no bullshit). Here's to hoping I hear from someone! 🤞🤞

No sex during pregnancy

I’m 12 weeks pregnant and horny as hell 😭 My baby’s father and I broke up, but I don’t want to sleep with anyone else while I’m pregnant. It just doesn’t feel right for me, especially when I’m not in a relationship with them.

Part of me wants to reach out to my baby’s father just for sex, but I’m worried that would pull me back into something emotionally messy. I also heard that going without sex during pregnancy could make you more likely to tear during labor. Is that even true?

Has anyone else been in this position? What did you do?

GBS POSITIVE

Tested positive for gbs, did anyone decide to decline the antibiotics? What was your experience after delivery? How long did they have you stay?
