Am I the only one?
I am sure I am not, and I don’t want to seem ungrateful because I’ve wanted this forEVER and struggled to convince. But it’s like my brain can’t catch up with the fact I am pregnant when I step on the scales? I am nearly 22 weeks and started at 9st 4 and I am now 10st 7-9 depending on time of day. I know it’s because I am growing a human, boobs are bigger, water, extra blood and so many other factors, but it’s like my brain can’t accept it? It feels so lonely and I feel so bad saying it 😓 - does anyone else feel similar?

No! I'm similar...
I lost 5 and half stone in the year leading up to getting pregnant. From 15stone 12 to 10 stone 7lb! Down to a size 10! I only hit my target in May.
I've gained loads (last week was 12stone 4lb!!). I could of cried.
All my jeans still fit aside from doing up round my belly. And I seem to be stuck in the previous me mindset of when I was big. Have weird body image where I think I look larger than I am.
I was trying clothes on and everything I still picked up drowned me 🤣
But I hate that number on the scales. Its not good mentally
I feel the exact same! I felt like I was in the best shape I’d been in before getting pregnant so feeling bigger is so hard. I’m so grateful that I’m here but it is a tough mental battle, 100%

How do you know? Questioning sexuality
This might be a long one.
Long story short, im married and I have children.
Ive only ever been with Males,
Though lately im finding that i am finding women attractive. Live ive always noticed if another female is attractive so to speak of and ive always commented and made sure to mention to them if I find them pretty like a compliment so to speak of.
Though lately while being on FB ive had reels pop up where I have some some women to be drop dead attractive like I mean smoking hot.
Like I guess im happily married though now im starting to question if im gay or not. Like im 40 years old.
Is this normal?

Friend to chat
Hello mamas! I am looking for a friend to chat ☺️ Our location situation is complicated, so face-to-face meet is hard for me and that makes me sometimes even lonelier. My English is maybe not great, but I will be glad for every message 🩷🇨🇿🇸🇰

Maternity Pay
For the working mums, does your company offer any enhanced maternity pay?
My first baby in 2024, I received the first six weeks per usual (90% of my usual salary), and the following 33 weeks were enhanced by my work who added £1,500 per month on top of the statutory amount.
Just curious to know what other workplaces offer as I don't have many working mum friends to gauge off of in the UK. I am due for a pay rise now, but considering requesting an increase in the enhanced mat pay in lieu of a pay rise.
Would love to have some insight what other workplaces offer!
