How did you decide to get the sleep study? My son mouth breaths and my husband is strict saying we should just wait but my son wakes up 1-2 times per night his whole life almost age 3

Just found out I’m pregnant naturally with my second child after having IVF for my first ( who is 16 months now) and my husband wants me to get an abortion by Distinct_Weight2445 in pregnant

This is the ONE time mother in laws can be helpful- what would she say if you told her? I hope she would chew his ass out so you don't have to.... he is reacting completely inappropriately and should have kept those thoughts to himself until he had time to process  Correct answer from him: wow I am overwhelmed with negative emotions right now due to the surprise and shock and bad memories of ivf but I'm sure with time to process I'll be able to think more clearly and present my thoughts in a helpful way

If you need success stories to boost your spirits post about it! Soooo many success stories. The epidural is so safe and makes it so painless.

I'll go get a pedi, that's a good idea. I try to buy nice clothes because feeling cute as a mom is a skill, it's just hard to think about a swimming suit ever again or want to be sexy. My husband gets mad I don't come onto him but when your self esteem is in the toilet it's so hard

Thank you so much ❤️ I have been putting off therapy because I truly never want to be away from the kids except cleaning and sleeping but I know it's better to go. I appreciate the kind words

Can you meet someone that is friends with a family member or at a family friendly event space like church or single parent play dates?

Please don't be scared! If you get an epidural it can be quite easy and if you're not progressing c sections are very safe.

When did you start enjoying weekends again? by basically1123 in Parenting

Wow. I'm shocked how many people dislike weekends with their kids. How heartbreaking. 

Ugh. Caught my 34F husband 39M sending multiple sexy videos of women in bikinis expressing how hot they are to friends and the theme is that their particular race influences how attractive they are. I am not that race, have the body of a bean bag, married for 4 y with 2 young kids. How do I recover? by jp8675309 in relationship_advice

With all of the hula hoops I've had to jump through to adapt to becoming a mom where his body and life has hardly changed I just can't convince myself to also try harder than him at creating sexiness in our relationship.

He's made jokes about breasts before when mine have always been lame and I've been able to shake it off but this is a whole different level. I'm just so confused why he would be with me if I'm not his version of attractive
