I don’t know how to disattach myself from my son. He’s always been with me since he been born. Never been baby sat, never had been without me.

Without going into everything, I feel very strongly about my MIL and not in a good way. This is all post baby or post pregnancy actually, before that I didn't mind her but we didn't really get on like good friends or anything.

How long did everyone wait to sleep with their pattern after birth, I’m 3 and a half weeks pp, midwife checked and said everything was healed and I feel back to normal, I know they say 6 weeks.

I had pictures in my mind of magical maternity leave days with walks in the pram. Cuddles on the sofa. My baby hates these things. Almost every week since my baby was born 6 months ago, my husband has had to take some time off work whilst I have a mental breakdown I'm starting to think I wasn't cut out for this

Moms who have or just had a baby boy, did you choose to circumcise or not? Why or why not? If yes, how was it including healing process for baby. Any advice welcome. I have no idea what I’m deciding yet but I’m 35 weeks and my partner is not circumcised and does not want to cut our son but I feel I see both sides an...

To circumcise or not? My Husband and I don’t know what to do. I know this is a sensitive topic but I just need some advice. I lean towards yes and my husband is leaning towards no because he thinks it’s a weird practice (he is circumcised). Any advice for this new boy mama?

I’m 5 months postpartum with my first baby, and I am truly obsessed with her. But I find that I have rage and resentment towards my partner even though he helps with the baby. Why do I feel this way? And does it go away?

I recently done a domestic violence course and I was left broken, I've been abused at every stage of my life, sexual, physical, exploited, emotional. Everything I learnt resonated with me personally. Finally it makes sense why I am the way that I am. How can you just forget such significant things from the age of 3 ...

Hello everyone! I’m curious what people are opting to do in terms of circumcision. I’ve been reading reports that suggest rates of non-religious circumcision are declining. Really curious to hear your reasoning either way. Thank you !

My first is 21 months and I miss him so much. I miss our one on one time and being his everything. I know it will get easier and I will adjust but at the moment the guilt is crazy.

My bf and I have a great relationship other than the fact I’m walking on eggshells a lot. We fight when he gets set off one way or another which is when he mentally distresses me with gaslighting and super demeaning hurtful words and tries to mind manipulate me to deflect his wrong doings. It leaves me crying for h...
