Low iron stores & pregnancy

Hi mamas! I would love to have another baby soon (next 1-2 months hopefully!), so had my bloodwork done and my ferritin came back extremely low. Hoping to build that up with therapeutic iron supplements, but apparently it can take a LONG TIME. I’m curious what your experiences have been and if it would affect only be or baby as well?

How do you breakup with them…

When I got pregnant with my partner, I’ve had this intuition I’m not in love with him. We now have a 7 month old, besides not being in love with him I also am unhappy with him (lots of fighting and just realizing who he is, I don’t want to be with him the rest of my life, etc.)
I plan on discussing with a family law attorney, but how do I break this to him?
Like hey so I don’t want to marry you. I want to do 50/50 or 70/30 (since I do more parenting)
I’m just scared how he will react and afraid to hurt him…. What’s a good way to explain this to him without him getting too upset and starting an argument?

Can’t sleep🥲

Anyone up and looking for someone to talk to? Hit me upppp!🤗

I want to find joy in motherhood again

I’ve been struggling so much with motherhood and basically….everything. I feel so guilty for saying that. I just want to find joy in motherhood again but all I feel is intense exhaustion. I can’t keep up with anything. I have no energy for anything. I don’t have much of a “village” and my husband works so much that I’m doing it all myself 90% of the time. I guess this is just more of a rant but I just don’t know how to get that spark back.

Where's my Meredith Grey at?! 😂💗

33, mom of 4, and just trying to find the Meredith Grey to my Cristina Yang. 😂💕 I need my person! Someone I can talk to about everything and absolutely nothing. 😂
