Baby daddy ended our relationship 5 days after I’d given birth to our darling boy. We had a huge argument and he decided that was enough. I know I’m responsible for my actions and for what I say. But he just doesn’t seem to get that I’d just had a traumatic birth and am not myself. He hadn’t been very supportive in ...

Im just rambling and venting: My baby girl isn't really talking. She's 2 and only really saying maybe 10 words, and a lot of times, I don't think there's any understanding to words. Like she'll say "apple," but there's no apples anywhere. She's in speech therapy and has been for a couple of months but not much progr...

I’m getting so fed up with my MIL. She took a screenshot of my 4 y/o daughter while they were on a FaceTime call and posted it on her Facebook without asking myself or my husband….again.

Hi mamas I need advice and help please. My 3 year old girl has been driving us nuts since roughly November/December and I thought it was the whole Christmas overload and overstimulation etc but it's carrying on. Absolutely everything is a negotiation at the moment or a no. She doesn't listen to anything and throws m...

I have a 20mo old rn and ever since i got pregnant at 19 i hated it, i thought things would get better after baby but it just got worse.

It’s been a hard journey so far with an unbearable pregnancy, traumatic birth and then dealing with looking after a new life who I very much love.

Does anyone know other than biotin what kind of vitamins or thing I can do for hair regrowth. I lose so much of my hair everytime I brush and wash it. Ik the why. I’m a licensed cosmetologist.

Does anyone feel like they’re just not the mum they thought they’d be… When I had my baby I breastfed her at the start but she was never happy. I thought it’s going to create a strong bond between us. I was a mess PP for the first 8 weeks because she was a very colicky baby and no one would listen to me that she n...

MIL and BIL get on my nerves recently. He is the favourite child and whatever he says goes. I have been putting up with my MIL for 2 years. She is constantly judging my parenting. My husband told her to stop before twice. She gets better, and then she starts again. We had the christening of my LO and because BIL got...

I’m 33 weeks today & still haven’t had any colostrum come in. With my first pregnancy I’m pretty sure I was leaking earlier than this so I’m abit worried. Has anyone else’s colostrum come in?

Hi! I am counting the days to the 6 weeks mark to have sex. I have read some posts saying that despite not having vaginal birth, the sex is not the same and might hurt the first time. Can you describe what exactly could hurt? And what to expect really. Thanks!

I’ve been suffering with severe mid back pain on the right side which I’ve had since my baby was a week old, she’s now 3 months. I’ve had testing done to rule things out and it’s been put down to mechanical / poor posture and strain. I’m struggling to hold, change and feed my baby without my back being so much ago...

I’ve noticed that I still feel a lump/ball when I wipe. Does anyone else have this issue? Does it go away? If so, how long does it take to completely heal? This has made me feel insecure and not be intimate with my husband.

I’m 2 weeks postpartum and getting baby blues. I was just wondering if it’s possible some vitamins can make it less intense or to go away temporarily? Also, would it help to continue taking my prenatal daily?

Im going through postpartum hair loss currently but my scalp hurts so much after being in hair tie, any suggestions for pain, itchiness, sensitivity and hair growth in general? 😭
