Pregnancy Hormones

What’s the silliest thing you’ve gotten emotional/ cried about recently?

I discovered the other day I am too large for baths now as I couldn’t get out comfortably. Queue me crying in the bath tub because I didn’t want it to be my last bath and refusing to get out when my fiancé came to help me😂😂

Please let me know yours so I don’t feel as bad about being hormonal 😂

my fiancé and i were playing uno w my family and everybody teamed up against me, not purposely, it just kind of happened, and i had my turn skipped and was reversed on about 12 times so i started crying even though i was winning bc i only had 2 cards left and they had they most which in turn led me to believe they somehow planned to skip me/ and or reverse it multiple times the whole time and it wasn't just a logical coincidence that they all had huge decks so they all probably had more skip/ reverse cards than i did 😂😂

Seems like I’m not alone with crying over food when I was pregnant. I was at work eating lunch and looked down to realize I finished everything. I started crying uncontrollably, like sobbing 😭 😔🙄

I was in my second trimester when I watched an episode of Ellen. They gave everyone a trip to Jamaica and I cried! You could see how excited the audience was and I was so happy for all of them.

What would you do?

If your man provided for you and the family eg. Paid the rent/mortgage, all the bills, food shop, children's things/activities, and gave you some money to pay for your needs, would you choose to go out to work or would you be a stay at home mum?

Specifically to mums with children under the age of 5.

Before having children, my partner told me it would be totally up to me if I wanted to return to work after having children but I didn't have to if I didn't want to/wasn't ready. I went back after maternity leave but I missed my child and quit my job to stay home. My partner takes care of everything financially so I am currently a SAHM until further notice.

I'm just curious to know what other mums would choose?

Bad friendships after baby

I’ve had a long distance friendship since 2008 (met at a university study abroad program) and we’ve visited each other at least once a year, traveled together, she met my entire family. We were close. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding 4 years ago. She was one of the first I told I was pregnant.
I invited her to my baby shower, which she couldn’t make, but she said she sent us a gift. I never received anything, which was fine (I honestly didn’t even realize it because life is chaotic a month before your due date).
When my son was born, we posted an announcement on Instagram which she commented “congrats guys!” And I never heard back from her.
I sent her a photo of us on Christmas to say merry Christmas. I texted her on her birthday months later, she text me on my birthday. But that’s it. She has never once asked how I’m adjusting to mom life or how my son is doing.

Am I being petty for refusing to reach out to her after all this? There’s been zero communication, even on social media. I don’t understand what changed besides me having a kid, or not thanking her for this gift she supposedly sent. I’ve just been super hurt that my entire world has changed with a baby, and my supposed best friend ghosted me.

Calling for change to SMP

Please sign and share if you think UK maternity pay needs to change.

Too many parents are being forced back to work early because statutory maternity pay just isn’t enough to live on anymore. With the cost of living where it is, families deserve better support.

This petition calls for improved maternity pay and financial help for working families.

It takes less than a minute to sign:

Every signature helps get this talked about in Parliament.

SAHMS- does your SO hold a grudge you aren’t contributing or was it just the best option?

My husband and I are trying to decide if i can afford to be a SAHM? Our baby is due in July and after maternity leave I planned on just taking a break (year or two- depending on when we are having our second kid) and returning to work after. I wanted one year off after each kid to bond and such. How did this conversation go? Any husbands disagree? How did you ultimately decide?
