Contraception!

Hey mummas, I’m due on the 10th of this month and I’m still confused on contraception, I know I would like the implant but I can’t decide when the best time to get it put in, I’m quite an emotional rollercoaster of a person as is and I don’t want to throw my hormones out of whack even more when bubba is here but at the same time I also don’t want to be without contraception for three months while my hormones regulate again. I also have the worry of it affecting my mental health again like my pill did before hand which is a slight worry, if anyone has some sort of advice I’d really appreciate it 🫶🏻

I went on the pill after having my baby and it sent me crazy-also struggle with MH, since this I’ve had the coil fitted and not affecting me at all.
Good luck! X

@Sarah oh god this! I'm on the pill and just hit 3 months post partum and my god! My mental health is the worst I've ever known it, it's not stopped my periods and contraception feels redundant at this point but I've got the implant going in so hoping that fixes it!x

that’s what I was thinking is going on straight away! I just don’t know how it’ll affect me especially since I’d like to breastfeed too!

And yes I found my sex drive hit an all time high when I came off my pill and was fully myself and is when we convinced with bubba!
I’m only 21 and my partner 28 and we’re not planning on having a second anytime soon, we’re happy and settled in our stunning house new and expecting our little one in the week so we want to enjoy this little bubble for as long as possible without the worry of getting pregnant again otherwise I wouldn’t even consider going back to contraception, I would opt for the copper coil but my god I had that when I turned 17 it made my periods and my cramps hell, I couldn’t get out of bed and would pass out from the pain, so that option is out the window :(

I went on the implant 2 months after having my first and it didn't seem to have much affect on my moods or anything. X

I tried the pill but it made me feel horrendous 😕 so I had the copper coil fitted and it's been brilliant not having the extra hormones.

Sex in third trimester

Me and my partner never have issues with sex, it’s usually two or three times a week. Tonight I burst out crying mid sex ( ridiculous) because everywhere I moved I was just dying out of breath and felt like a whale. So uncomfortable and the mood was just killed. He reassures me he loves it still and I’m sexy ( I’m not right now 😂) but I just can’t find any position that feels natural without being out of breath! Any suggestions?

Is it just me…

I’m starting to think this app is full of depressed people and people who want friends but can’t keep a conversation just speaking my opinion so before someone start to post a chapter I’m just speaking how I feel..

Sex drive completely vanished 😩

My partner and I normally have sex 5-6 times per week and since falling pregnant my sex drive has vanished entirely! I know my hormones are shifting all over the place but please tell me it’s just a first trimester thing and things will come back

Hullo mamas🥰👋

Hey mamas 🤍

I’m 23, married to my hubby Bradly, and on the hunt for some real, genuine mom friends - bonus points if you can text back fast or send memes 😂 but I’m totally okay with long distance too!

A little about me: I’m a mama to one angel baby and one rainbow baby, so I carry a lot of love, perspective, and dark humor in my back pocket. I’m 1000% judgment-free and also… I don’t like judgment either - so if you’re the “do what works for your baby and survive the day” type, we’ll get along perfectly.

I’m a huge Harry Potter lover (yes, I will absolutely sort you into a house 🪄), I love cozy vibes, late night chats, talking about literally anything from baby sleep to random life spirals, and I’m the kind of friend who will hype you up, check on you, and laugh with you through the chaos.

If you’re looking for a low-pressure, supportive, slightly unhinged but very loving friend… hi, it’s me 🤍
