My baby starts nursery next week and I can’t stop crying. I feel so guilty, does this feeling ever go away? 😔

My daughter is 3 end of April and I’m struggling so much, I feel like I’m loosing my mind. She only ever wants me, I have to do nappy change, bed/bath time, neals etc. She gets so upset if dad does it alone and I’m there. It’s ok if I’m not. She’s so emotional, and angry it feels. I can’t help but feel like I’ve don...

Officially back to work today after nearly 9 months off and I’m absolutely gutted. I know I’ve had longer than a lot of people get and I’m thankfully only back two days a week for the first 5 weeks then building up to full time gradually but I’ve honestly cried about 40 times in the past 24 hours thinking about not ...

I have a 2 year old and a 5month old .. some days are better than others but I have so much anger and I’m not sure where it comes from .. is it the lack of sleep? The lack of time I get for myself or is it just the overwhelming stress I feel all day long catering to both kids? My toddler is always loud running aroun...

I gave it up within 1-2 weeks .

I’ve officially hit terrible mother status. My ppd is so bad that after almost a year I looked at my baby and felt resentment. I’ve never felt this way before. The feeling instantly went away but I’m just laying here crying my eyes out for even having the smallest feeling like that

Edit he means by “missing out” on is that he’s worried things will change a lot for me. I haven’t had the best experience when it comes to sex. I’m still understanding my own body and what I like and don’t like. It’s one thing that stresses me out so he’s worried it’s might get even harder for me. He’s very understa...

I feel so defeated I have always longed to be a mother. Now that I am my mother of two I feel like I was not meant to be a mother. Maybe that’s why God put infertility in my life. Both of my children are IVF., Since I gave birth to my second child (1mnth ago) I have this nasty rage that I cannot stand any crying.. I...

I’m very paranoid about my little one going to nursery and being without me. I don’t want her to be left to cry and be unsettled and not have me there and the thought of it makes me so anxious. She’s EBF currently and won’t take a bottle which makes things harder (5months so not weaned yet) which I’m going to try to...

I am 3 months pp and suffering from heavy hairfall. I take pregnacare breastfeeding vitamins and have a regular diet. Could anyone suggest any fix for postpartum hairfall?

Has anyone had CPS called on them before for postpartum depression? CPS came by today. And told us that they were going to be involved because they were concerned for my mental health. I now have to go to a mental health clinic to be checked out.

Is it just me🥹 I don’t know how to cope. I have a toddler too. I feel like something is really bothering her but I don’t know what

How long after birth did your vagina start feeling better .. I’m 5 days postpartum and my vagina is still hurting so bad ???

Does anyone else struggle with not wanting to have sex anymore? Like, I just don’t care about it and I feel so bad for my husband.. I’ve never felt like this before and was the complete opposite before… I just feel like it isn’t necessary and other things are more important. I still love being affectionate and cuddl...

I am 14 weeks pregnant with twins, this is my second pregnancy, my first was born via emergency section 2.5 years ago. I have noticed that I’m getting a lot of discomfort and pain in the area of my scar, is this anything to worry about or is it just because it is stretching? It seems to worsen when I have done a lo...

My partners sister bought us a pram and I just don’t like it. Anytime I bring this up with my partner he just calls me ungrateful rather than listening to the reasons why. Like I’ve said i really appreciate the fact she went out and bought us a pram I just wish she spoke to me first! It’s our first child so I just w...

This will sound bad but I’m really struggling. I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. My 6 month old girl never seems to be happy around me. Always crying or whingeing but will settle with my partner and it just really really upsets me. What am I doing wrong? It’s the point where I feel super anxious trying to settl...

My emotions are unreal right now, I'm nearly 38 weeks but I'm feeling so irritated and annoyed by every little thing! Just burst into tears as I couldn't find the ironing board, and then got so angry at the fact my partner had moved it without telling me! I hope this doesn't last long, I'm not nice to be around ...
