Life Insurance!
How do people go about getting life insurance and knowing which is the best to go for?
I'm currently paying £50 a month for a benefit style insurance due to noone being willing to insure me due to a past mental health illness. It's been over 3 years now since my last episode, so should be able to be insured, as £50 a month is just too much to keep on top of. I'm just stressed that if I have to go through my whole life of health with every single company I speak to again it will just break me like it did last time. Didn't know if there was a way to narrow down the search.

No advice as such, but i know the feeling. I had cancer 11 years ago, clear for 10 and still cant get cover! Its ridiculous!
I went with "polly" and had a good experience talking on the phone to set it up - maybe give them a try?

Loneliness.
Hi all! This is my first time ever posting so let me introduce myself! My name is Timberly & I became a mama in July 2025! Shortly after having my son, I was diagnosed with pp preeclampsia which has left me in a DEEP health anxiety spiral for many many months. I’m scared of doctors, getting my bp taken, getting sick & this has also left me with feeling very alone most days! I’m not sure why I’m posting this I guess just looking for someone who can relate? I don’t want to waste my breath anymore on the anxiety & worrying when I could be spending more time with my son!! I have many months of feeling great & no worries & then boom… it’s back lol anyways! I have a sweet baby boy who is 15 months old & the funniest little boy I know so something very amazing came out of all of this. I had a friend come hangout with me once a week but it’s been busy for everyone & it being the holidays it makes it a little more difficult🫠

Sex on the first day of meeting your long distance partner or wait a little bit?
My long distance partner is planning a visit and I have made my boundary known no sex. I am a mum of 2 and divorced, he is also divorced but no kids. Our chemistry is great and we are both childhood sweethearts. He has made his intentions known that he wants to marry me however my stance is that no sex before he puts a ring on it. He is saying he wants all of me with no boundaries in the relationship and I am maintaining my stance…. He has gone quiet since what should I do. Shall I just wrap it up and call it a day or shall I just maintain the silence as well or just exit the 3 month relationship?
I love this man but I just don’t wanna have sex before we are married.

Anyone else sad that they can't be a SAHM?
First time mom due 3/27.
I am so sad and disappointed that I can't be a stay at home mom. That is something I want so bad, at least the first 2-4 years. Unfortunately, my income is needed to pay our bills.
I hate how the U.S. treats and views maternity leave. I don't think I would feel this strongly if I had at least a year off. I'm extremely lucky to get 12 weeks paid as is. :/
Second time working mamas, how did you deal with this?

Exercise 6m pp
Can anyone recommend some good exercises to do? The overhang I don’t mind but my belly still looks really big and bloated all the time, is it from the csection or excess weight, idk.
Nothing fits, even my wedding ring won’t fit my finger 😳
Exclusively breastfeeding, so I am always eating 😅
