End of Maternity Leave 😭

It’s been three months and I have to go back to work tomorrow. Anyone else back to work or about to head back and feeling sick over leaving your baby? Ugh my heart 😭😭😭 This is my second so I’ve done it before… it’s just so hard. Looking for solidarity!

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!

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?
