Has anybody left their baby with someone yet? My fiancé wants us to go out for our anniversary this weekend for dinner & my mum has offered to watch my girl for a couple hours.
I have PPA & PPD but I am trying so hard to work through it, is it too soon to leave her? How did it go if you guys have done it? She is also EBF so I would need to pump so that whole situation is also in my head 😅

i left my LO with my sister when he was 4 weeks old to go out for anniversary with my fiancé. we were out for probably 3ish hours and I was a little apprehensive at first but i knew he was safe and she did send me an update like half way through. He’s formula fed so feeding wasn’t an issue. Second time we left our little one with my sister again was this past saturday, he’s 11 weeks old and i was okay with it the whole time

I’ve left my little one with my mum and sister whilst getting my hair done and overnight with his grandmother for my birthday/anniversary he’s been amazing. I does depend on your baby’s temperament not every child is the same.

I left mine alone with my husband overnight when she was 9 weeks old.. I was so anxious but she ended up being better for him than she was me 😂
I work away so I have to leave her with the childminder, babysitter and husband for 2-3 nights/days so I’ll be pumping and missing her.
Last week, I barely saw her 😭 but, I have to work.

My mom has my son overnight atleast once a week and has done since he was 2 weeks old. Nanny likes her sleepovers
My husband and I had sex for the first time last night since I had the baby. The baby is 4 months now, but it’s been nearly 5 or six months (we were doing it during pregnancy). A little back story, I had an emergency C-section, but I’m all healed up. We’ve been waiting for me to feel better, and because they recommended waiting like 6 months. 😭😭😭I’ve been ready for a while now, lol. I know he has too. We didn’t plan it, but last night we gave it a go and had sex.
It was AMAZING!!! 😭😭😭 I love this man so much. It was just 🎆🎇🧨🎇🎆,lol, honestly. My only issue is that just before I was ready (we usually cum together), he came first! This ruined EVERYTHING 😔😭 I was no longer in the mood, and he was feeling guilty about it all. I’m still sexually frustrated, and I don’t know how to feel.
I’m going to obviously get the morning-after pill today because we didn’t use contraception (this wasn’t planned), but should we try again today? I don’t know; I’m kind of still annoyed at him. I know it’s not his fault, and it’s been a while. We lasted a good while before I was ready to cum, but he just got there before me. 😔😔 What do I do? Am I overthinking it!

I don't understand. I've done nct course, didn't click with any of the mums, im doing swimming classes with the baby for 4 months, im doing baby activity classes for the past 2 months.... LO is 8 months old. Like today, 3 new mums, plus me, all had a great chat, class was over and I went on to help to clean up just to return and see the girls exchange phone numbers but none of them asked mine. I smiled and said goodbyes but I was left with this very bitter feelings. All these activities I am the only foreign mum. Everyone else is british. My english is very good. I'm polite. Kind. Happy person. I just don't understand. Have you ever come across situation like this?

Anyone got a male partner with low sex drive? Feels very rare and lonely to navigate as men usually are these horny rabbits.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise with this?
I am currently pregnant and our relationship has been on the rocks but the sex life has been poor for a few years.

Honestly feeling so alone in this season of motherhood. I don’t have a friend close enough where I can just call to have company, or to talk to about things I’m currently going through and honestly it feels really lonely. All my friends are childless travelling the world, partying etc and I’m currently pregnant with my third. I find it hard to connect with other mums tbh and I don’t know why.

I have a daughter from a previous relationship. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the last 3 years. I’ve been to the doctor and they did testing, and everything seems okay on my end. My husband refuses to go. He says he’d rather not know than face the reality he may be infertile. His solution: we have a threesome with another man, who consents to surrendering parental rights legally, and he puts his name on the birth certificate and we don’t tell anyone. He says this way, we’re both involved from conception. I told him this sounds ridiculous and he just needs to go to the doctor because it could be a simple solution. Still, he refuses. I told him I didn’t think he could mentally handle it, as he can get jealous sometimes. He promised he wouldn’t since the intent is a baby and it’s consensual, so I wouldn’t be cheating. Recently he’s been watching 2 guy/1 girl porn to prove he can “get in the right headspace” and says he thinks it could be sexy/fun if we communicate with all parties involved and have a lawyer write some contracts for legal purposes so no one can try to claim rights to the child. I told him I would have concerns with people whispering behind our backs that the baby may not look like either of us, and I may get accused of cheating, but he said that shouldn’t matter because he will put anyone in their place. He also pointed out how my current daughter is not biologically his, but people always tell her she looks like him/ is “definitely” his kid. I told him I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this, and he asked me just take some time and think it over. Frankly, I just don’t want to have sex with anyone else. He’s also against artificial insemination. If we need to go that route, he would rather adopt, but our area has very strict foster rules (our first option) and private adoption is outside of our budget (our last resort).
