(Please be nice.) So I had my 6th kid by my baby daddy. And we’re not together. My last baby is 6 months old. My ex has been giving me $200 a month. I’ve asked for more help financially but he doesn’t help. I’m still out on disability so my income is limited. I didn’t want to take him child support. But I feel like I have to now that I can’t afford anything alone. I wrote a note when I filed saying I only want $1800 so that’ll pay my rent at least. I am currently at my parent’s house. I don’t want to take him for the full amount so that it doesn’t put him out of his place, also I don’t want him to fight me for more custody.
**Any mommas with six babies and get child support? Did you ask the max?

I am currently 6 months pp. i am a single mother with a lot of kids.
I am very down about my weight. I am 205lbs and 5’4. I am sluggish and tired. I breastfeed all day. My baby eats a lot so I’m stuck sitting a lot. And then twice a week I play softball and am hurting after from not being active and heavy.
I almost want to quit breastfeeding and get on phentermine because that’s helped me in the past.
I felt so good losing weight. I got down to 175 but then got pregnant. And then pregnant again. So I’ve been sluggish for a while.
Is it selfish of me to want to quit breastfeeding just for that?

Hello! I’m 6 months post partum. Playing coed adult softball. Our team doesn’t get together for practices and all we do is play the games. Each time I’m not warmed up and aching after.
What stretches, warmups, advice do you have for me to not feel broken after every game?!

Hello. Wanting to get some thoughts on my mothers situation. My mom is in her 50s, heavy set and has heavy periods. Her periods started to last longer and longer so her dr recommended to get a mirena iud, instead of a hysterectomy because at my mom’s weight it is dangerous to undergo surgery. The iud was to help stop her periods. They stopped it for about a year then about two weeks ago my mom started bleeding heavily. She’s gone to the er and two different drs appts and they said iud is not present and they seen she has a fibroid 7x7x2. The dr still wants her not to have a hysterectomy because of her weight but she can’t bleed like this long term. The dr suggests her taking 6 progesterone pills a day for two weeks then get an MRI. And she doesn’t want to get another iud. Any one experience anything like this? What did you do?

I am 6 months post partum and want to do some physical activity to lose some weight. I just joined an adult softball league! Any mommas have any tips on what to do with baby?? I don’t have a sitter. But I have a helpful 9 year old.
