Lonely
Does anyone else feel so lonely and bored? I became a mum at 41, following an infertility journey and miscarriages and ivf. I drifted apart from my friends over the years who all had their children 5-10 years ago (they would meet for play dates and I was never invited).
Now im a mum i have no mum friends. I have gone from a pressured, busy job, to just sitting at home alone. I go out alot, but cafes/ shops are full of mum friends meeting and I seem to be the only one alone. Does it get better?
I have longed for my baby and im so grateful but its a hard adjustment so far

I feel this
Hey I’ve recently started a remote freelance job helping people save money on their bills and the community is AMAZING, despite being from home. I left my job when my maternity leave finished in June and have been stay at home since then. This last month I’ve started this new venture and I’ve met some amazing people. A lot of the people doing this are also mums who not only wanted extra income (or as a main income) but a sense of community too. I know it’s not the same as just making friends but it’ll give you something to do and have a purpose. Anyone you meet on the way will be a bonus, because everyone’s been lovely! If you’re interested message me and I can talk to you about it. I’ve been recommending to everyone! ❤️

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?

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 🥴
