So before my husband and I had a baby we would have sex 2-3 times every week. It was great, worked for us. But ever since having our baby we maybe have sex once or twice a month. My husband tells me that sex isn’t huge for him and he doesn’t feel like he needs it as much anymore. I’m dying over here.. I’ll try initi...

Hi! I’m 4 months postpartum and I’m losing my hair like crazy!! Any tips and tricks to help with that?

So it's been just over 3 weeks since I gave birth, everything feels fine body wise and ready to get intimate with my partner again, how do I start this when we've got a teenager and 5 year old in the house too? Plus he jokes about waiting another week so everythings okay down there 🤣🤦‍♀️ I've reassured him and…

I’m so sad to say but I’ve got to a part where I’m just no longer enjoying being a mother. I feel like every day has become a war and I’m just so tired of it. The tantrums. The not eating anything I put in front of them. The battle at bed time EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Trying to put together fun activities but having th...

So I know both of our feelings are equally important and valid.. but how would you handle this? I know I’m also extra hormonal with pregnancy but it still gets to me yuno..? So we have a 15mo son and expecting baby boy #2 in 15 weeks or so. I have always dreamed of 3-4 kids genders do not matter to me but I would ...

I never realized how narcissistic my family is until i got pregnant. For reference this is my first baby after a loss and I am the last person of my siblings to have a child. After 8 nephews . From the very beginning of my pregnancy up until today (now 31 weeks) my mom and my sister has found ways to make every si...

Anyone else having extreme difficulty after birth. I have been getting so sad and just sit here crying over everything. I’m so grateful for my son and I love him so much but the other half of me wishes I would have waited and I wasn’t ready to have a child and give up my time. I feel like I can’t do anything and I’m...

Has anyone here used Conceive Plus (the lube)? Did you conceive and carry to term? I got it cause of so many positive reviews and used it this afternoon for the first time and just got my peak a couple hours ago, so chances are high. Idk why i decided to google the reviews again and came across quite a few saying th...

I recently escaped a domestic abuse relationship, and my mom stepped in to save me and my kids from that situation. I moved in with her and my stepmom, but things have been far from easy. My stepmom has been making me feel unwelcome, which is incredibly painful. She barely speaks to me, and when she does, it’s only ...

I am currently going through a "rough spot" with spouse. Postpartum most likely playing a role, since I have not been acting myself. He confides in old co-workers and tbh throws be under the bus. Should I be hurt/mad/anything?! Could use some advice/a shoulder right now. Thanks.

I keep wondering why I’m so snappy and why I keep crying and my period isn’t due lol. I didn’t think I would struggle this hard on this day because it really took me a while to come out of the depression that followed letting my baby go. But I am so down and emotional and I keep telling myself things happen for a re...
