Lacking support

Hey ladies, finding pregnancy and special life occasions difficult with the lack of support from family and friends (I appreciate some of my friends have newborns themselves). I have a sister who prioritises other things over spending time with me and it’s a long story but I’m getting to a point where I’ve had to reach out to my Parent and Baby Unit for mental health support. Just creating this post to see who would be up for scheduling a coffee or anything at this point. 🤍🤍🤞🏼

Oh I feel so sorry about how you feel, pregnancy is such a special time and we all want to feel supported, listened and noticed. You did a great step to reach out for help! It is important to talk ❤️ Focus on your health and your little one, that's most important now, but I bet it is always nice to share those moments with important people ❤️ Where about are you? If local I would be happy to have a cuppa and a chat, if not my inbox is always open ❤️

Looking for a friend

Hi, I’m Zainab from Nigeria 🇳🇬. I’m 18, and I have a 1.5-year-old daughter. ❤️

I’m looking for a friend I can chat with regularly, call, share gossip and little moments with, and talk about anything and everything! 🥹💗

Please don’t comment if you’re going to ghost me 😂😭. Age doesn’t matter to me as long as we genuinely connect! And I don’t mind long distance

This is what I look like. 😊💕

My fiance said our sex will ruin our relationship

I constantly brag to people about how amazing sex with my man is. It’s the best I’ve ever had, and in the beginning I just wanted to jump his bones constantly. We don’t do it as frequently, and it just feels like he’s never in the mood. I thought maybe this was just the honey moon phase ended, and we were in a solid relationship. We dropped sex to about 3-4 times a week, compared to the 3-4 times a day we used to do it. I thought this still seemed healthy, and then even when it dropped to 2-3 times a week, I still thought we were strong. Yes, I’ll admit sometimes it seems like I want it more than him, and he only seems to want it when I’m very obviously not in the mood. Then he made a comment to our friends about how sex life is the one thing he’d change, because while he loved me, the sex just isn’t very good and he struggles to get off when we are together. I felt really heartbroken over this comment, and he seemed shocked I didn’t feel the same way. I told him I thought we had great sex, and it was one of the best parts of our relationship in my opinion. He disagrees and says it’s not good, and he usually lies about getting off and just takes care of himself in the bathroom after we’re done. I feel crushed and asked for some space, and he says I’m being dramatic and that we were having good conversation, but I told him it didn’t feel good for me. It was heartbreaking and painful to hear, and I need space and time to think.

Now I’m here writing this. I don’t know how to feel. I do know I feel insecure and undesirable and honestly pretty foolish. Definitely not attractive or sexy anymore. Like looking at myself and feeling like everything has been a lie…

Losing friends

Hi, has anyone had to deal with losing friends since having their little one and how do you deal with it? I am a massive overthinker and am struggling to just not get upset by it.
I am so lucky and loving every moment with my little one but struggling with not letting the loss of the friends affect me. Any advice welcome please
