For a bit of back story, I have BPD, which if you know about it, you’ll know that it greatly impact’s relationships and mood. One of the ways it works for me, if I have a healthy relationship with someone and they do even one thing that upsets me or really effects me, no matter how hard they try to prove they’ve cha...

I will be almost 47 by the time I have the second if things go to plan and I keep thinking I’ll be in my 60s when my child is a teenager and I feel horrible about ...

I posted a few months back saying my baby whinges all day she’s only happy with certain people such as her grandad and actually tbh not really anyone else. She can’t stand me she cries when I enter the room and whinges 24/7 with me. I thought it was a phase but it’s been 4 months now, it makes me so sad that people ...

My so called boyfriend/BD called me a terrible mother for being upset and crying in front of our child and then starts pointing out every single little thing.

My baby is finally asleep in his bassinet and I’m currently crying at 1 am and praying to god that SIDS doesn’t take him from me because all I see on my social media is mom’s telling their story about how SIDS took their baby. And I bought an owlet sock just to have some comfort and watch his oxygen and heart rate a...

He took a turn for the worse and was just admitted back to the nicu yesterday. I thought I would be able to handle him being there again since we’ve done it once but I’m re...

I am only 3 weeks postpartum, but I feel pretty strongly about only having one child. I love her so much, but I hated being pregnant and giving birth. The second they put her on my chest was the only moment from it all that I enjoyed. I cannot imagine doing that while having another person to take care of when some ...

Just for context I struggle with mental health issues and had done so even before marriage but never realised until recently. I “trauma dumped” a lot on my husband at first through many many arguments and I can honestly say that he isn’t the man he was before. Now that I actknowledge my problem, it’s almost like I ...

Weve had sex 4 weeks post partum. I've finally stopped bleeding whooop. We didn't use any contraception, it was a snow day and too dangerous to go out on our hill. He just pulled out. There is a low change of getting pregnant again?

Has anyone done brow lamination when pregnant before? What’s your recommendations?? The clinician is telling me she’s never come across issues but googles sided against it for cautionary reasons.

My son is just over 1 and for the past month or so I can feel the broodiness returning. Me and my partner have always said we'd like to have multiple children and our son is our 1st however I didn't expect to be feeling broody so soon and my partner has started talking about the second baby more often.

Relationships between females are so complicated. I get on way better with men in my life than women, always have since I was a kid. I have a 3 yo girl and a 9 month old boy. I shouldn’t even need to preface this by saying I love both my children so much, but of course I do. However, I’ve noticed that I have been ...
