Sex just isn’t the same…

I used to LOvE sex. Was what my man and I would do anytime of day. I just had two babies back to back and now it’s just not the same. I don’t know if it’s postpartum or what. I hate my body first and foremost. I have never been comfortable with my body shape but after these back to back babies I feel like I still look pregnant so getting naked doesn’t feel sexy anymore. My husband says he loves my body, but inside I feel he just says it to make me feel better so I’m more likely to get freaky with him.
On top of body issues I’m F***ing tired! I’m a stay home mom for now (which is new, I have always worked) and with the constant go go go, crying babies, cleaning, stressing, shopping. I’m drained.
I hope things just a phase and I can become more sexually active with my husband. I do try to sleep with him to keep him happy but sometimes it’s just that.
Anyone else having these problems??

I feel exactly the same way. Do you have any outlet?

You should never just have sex to make him happy. My question though is does he do his share of household responsibilities? Does he take over parenting duties so you can have rest?

Hey momma, I understand your struggle and your not alone. You're super brave for putting this out there. It's so hard to feel sexy after kids. I'm the horny one in the relationship and we haven't had sex in almost 6 months 😔 I'm sure it's just a phase. Being a SAHM is the hardest job ever. But you totally got this and are doing great! Feel free to message me about this if you want.

Why is it all misery about having kids?

Return to work 🥺🩵

At what age did you ladies go back to work after having your babies? ❤️

My little boy is 8 months old (almost 9), and I’ve recently been offered a really great opportunity to work for a company my friend works for. It’s an opportunity I’m genuinely excited about, but I’m also feeling quite emotional at the thought of leaving my little boy.

I honestly hadn’t really thought about going back to work just yet, as my partner has never once pressured me to find a job or even mentioned me needing to go back. I’ve been really lucky in that sense and have been able to enjoy this time with my baby without that pressure.

Now that an opportunity has come up, it’s made me realise that I might actually have to think about it, and I don’t know if I’m quite ready emotionally! 🥹

I know every mum is different, but I’d love to hear your experiences. How old were your little ones when you went back to work, and how did you find it? Did you feel ready, or did you struggle with the thought of leaving them? 💗

Has anyone left a relationship with a baby? I’m struggling and I feel it’s the best thing going forward. It’s toxic. I feel alone.

Gifts for Dad?

I want to get my partner a small gift for becoming a dad - I'm almost certain he's going to get me a 'push present'!

Any ideas of something unique I could get him?!

Ideally something that marks the moment rather than any old gift that I could get him for bday/xmas instead.

Idk ?

So, I downloaded this app hoping it would help me expand my social circle and feel more comfortable meeting moms and discussing mom-related topics and just having fun conversations. However, the more chats I engage in, the more disconnected I feel. I honestly don’t believe I can genuinely connect with people online, I’ve never been a social media type of person and sometimes it just feels forced. Also, I don’t think people take into consideration we’re all moms navigating our own personal lives, which may not align with the availability of others at the times they want to chat. So instead of negativity thinking someone’s ignoring you, consider the fact that they may actually be handling things and will communicate when they’re able to. And the group chats are a great social experiment but it’s no connection it’s no way to actually get to know people unless there are smaller made chats no more that 5 ppl …. Idk. What should I do 🤦🏽‍♀️🙇🏽‍♀️
