Heyyy!,

Hey!

Hola! I’d love to chat! Sometimes it’s nice to just have someone to talk to! Also huge promoter for mental health therapy! I went thru such a depression I had to medicate something I never wanted to do! Life just felt so overwhelming and I couldn’t seem to get a grip! I was in therapy the whole time! Got pregnant and wanted to get off of my meds! I never had to look back bc all my days on therapy paid off and I have learned how to cope! I am in a much better place but I still like to have a trustworthy therapist to talk to even if just to chat about nothing! It truly helps! You should be at peace no once deserves to suffer with anxiety!

It’s hard having a supportive partner helps, asking for help when you need it and are overwhelmed. I went through a whole course of learning how to batch certain tasks together so it was less overwhelming just getting the house work, cooking, cleaning, doc appointments , work done

Did you pay for any private maternity or postnatal services outside the NHS?

I'm thinking of hiring a postnatal midwife for at-home visits and possibly one for the birth, but I'm concerned about the cost. Did you choose to pay for any extra support outside the NHS, and was it worth it for you?

I will also be paying for a NIPT and 3rd trimester scan, costs are adding up.

Missing my partner even though he’s right there 🥹

Has anyone else felt like this?
He has 4 weeks off work with me and baby, we’re just over half way through and have spent all our time together so far and I still have this feeling of missing him.
Baby is breastfed and is cluster feeding at the minute, we love our little boy so much but I feel a little stuck under him at times.
My partner and I are over 3 years in and have always been obsessed with eachother, baby was planned and is so loved but it’s a big adjustment isn’t it 🥹🩵

What do you spend on food a month!? Family of 3

Hello, me and my partner are spending a lot on our food shop considering we use a lot of beans and pulses over fresh meat and cook from scratch to keep the cost down. But we are still spending so much and we can't figure out why it's such a high cost still. We are a family of 3.
