We have been together since we were 18/19 years old. We were best friends. Got married. Had kids. Now after 15 years of being together (and 8 years married) I have developed SO much resentment towards my husband. In a nutshell - I feel he does not care about things that are important to me. Even if I tell him “th...

I’m 7 weeks postpartum and my perineal stitches from my third degree tear still haven’t dissolved. Is this normal or should I be worried?

So I had a planned c section in Jan 2023.

I feel jealous and I always thought I would forget how sad I was and desperate to ...

I'm feeling like I could burst into tears at any point as I'm feeling so emotional about going back to work on Friday. I can't believe this year has gone so fast and I just wish I could do it all over again. Any who has gone back already, does it get easier?! It doesn't help that poor baby girl is very unwell so o...

How are we dealing with postpartum rage? Because I for one am struggling. I do not even know how to act when you can see or shown someone does not care about you or your feeling, whether that is family or partner. I struggle in my emotions and they get the best of me.
