Today is my birthday

I’ve been feeling a little down today. My best friend since 7th grade usually wishes me a happy birthday, but this year I didn’t hear anything from her. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it honestly hurt a little.

I guess I just miss having a friend I can hang out with, go thrifting, and do little things with without feeling like being pregnant has changed everything. I know things are different now, and I can’t do everything I used to, but I still want to have fun and make memories. I miss how close we used to be, and sometimes I wish I had a friend who understood that becoming a mom doesn’t mean I stopped being me.

30 hours funding question

I’m trying to apply for the 30 hours funding in preparation for when my baby starts childcare in January. He is currently 10.5 months old.

The question “Will you earn at least £203.36 a week, before tax, for the next 3 months?”

I’m not sure how to answer as I’m currently on the unpaid part of SMP. From 1st December I’ll be using annual leave so technically back to work. Do I answer no as it’s asking about now? Or is it asking about when I’m back?

How should I go about this?

So my boyfriend and I recently found out we’re having a baby, I’m almost 10 weeks and things have been extremely rocky. I’m constantly in fear that he’s going to leave so in my anger I always try to leave before he does and that leads to bigger problems. Today we got into an argument because I saw him call a female at 3am the other day & it seems as if other calls in his call log have been deleted. He claims she’s “just an old friend” but I’ve used that excuse in the past (before we were dating, I’ve never cheated on him) In my anger I told him I was done and didn’t want to be with him anymore & that blew up. I immediately regretted it & apologized and tried to reassure him that I really do want us to be a strong parental unit for our child together but now he’s acting like we TRULY need to break up. I feel as though I can’t do this without him & I really don’t want to. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sex so close to due date?

I know it's safe right up until birth, but girl, there is so much pressure there I feel like a balloon. I have all the desire to be intimate with my husband but as soon as he gets his hands anywhere lower than my belly button I feel like I'm going to burst🥴🥴 is this happening for anyone else or am I ✨quirky✨

Low sex drive

I do not want to have sex with my partner. Im just exhausted and it’s starting to affect us! Is there anything I can take to increase it?
