Advice - steroid injections for babies lungs
Just want some advice please! I’m having a planned c-section 2 weeks earlier than planned so baby will be around 37+5. They’ve suggested some steroid injections to help the babies lungs but means I’d have to stay in from the 31st until after babies born as I have gestational diabetes so they’d need to keep an eye on me. I’m umming and aringgg about them as I thought he’d be okay because I’m basically over full term and I don’t want to be leaving my other kids for over a week while I’m in there possibly longer but I also want what’s best for my baby boy!
Has any one else had these steroid injections and would you recommend having them?

I had the injections with my second born there not nice they really hurt! After having the injections my son was born 5 weeks early so wasn’t the greatest of experiences if I’m honest. x
I don’t personally but I’m surprised they are suggesting it since you’ll be over 36 weeks. I’ve heard of it for preterm of course. I’ve had babies at 36 weeks and 37. I’d be questioning it as well. Seems unnecessary unless they found a preexisting condition.

hey bestie <3
21 & living in Georgia 🤎 Looking for a best friend, preferably another mom who understands the chaos of everyday life! I’m down for local or long-distance friendships. I love a good conversation, random texts throughout the day, sharing little life updates, and eventually making plans to hang out.
I’m a homebody most days, but I’m always up for getting out and doing something fun. 420 friendly 🌿 Just looking for a genuine friendship that feels natural, where we can be ourselves and actually stay in touch. 🫶🏼

Anyone else feel alone as a special needs parent?
I have two boys, 5&6, and both have severe autism & adhd. Im so exhausted all the time, my husband is around but he never helps and is cliff notes involved basically.
I have gotten some time to myself after I get the kids to school but i feel like the majority of my time is spent waiting and anticipating everyones needs over myself. I miss being able to dress up, and do my make up, i miss having friends and going out, or enjoying hobbies with others :/

Loss of sex drive 4 months pp
My partner wants us to have more sex because we barely do now and I feel so bad. I literally have no sex drive even though I want to have more sex??? I know that doesn’t make any sense but I wouldn’t be mad I don’t have sex for a long while. I think he’s starting to feel some type of way about it. I’m also taking Zoloft for PPA and a loss of sex drive is a side effect. I’m gonna have a chat with him to let him know what’s going on but is anyone else experiencing this? I want to desire it more like I use to but idk what to do 🥴

Lonely af
Ig this is more of a rant than anything. I’m horrible I know. I’m lonely as fuck, fiancé works sun up to sun down, sex is so bad, only last a minute or 2 then he gets mad when I’m upset it wasn’t longer, loves just not there anymore, he’s not even a friend at this point, we just had our second baby 4 months ago but I’ve felt this way for years. We’re both young. I kinda hate my life when I think about it to hard.
