I’m well aware of the ‘baby blues’ and I’m absolutely besotted with my baby girl (born 9th December). She’s doing great we’re in a routine and she seems pretty chilled out and happy. I’m finding still that I’m getting very tearful when I recap on everything I get really upset. I miss being pregnant, recapping on how...

I love my MIL, I really do, but it has been so hard for me whenever she comes around. My son is 5 months old. When I was three weeks pp she was like “this time next year I’m taking him up north for my birthday.” She didn’t ask she said those are her dates and that they’re going to fly to see his cousins and that my ...

What would you do?... in my situation. So she's 11. She's not allowed to have tictok. I found her downloading it in the past but she had no followers or anything so it has just happened and I deleted it. She didn't try again until now I suppose (months later). I haven't checked her phone in a few weeks but I did thi...

Hello, I am currently 5 months postpartum. During my pregnancy I had to take thyroid medication. During my pregnancy I felt I didn’t really feel any side effects. Now that I am postpartum I noticed my hair thinning out a lot and my hair seems to be falling. I’ve recently also noticed that I’d wake up during the nigh...

What are some preferably natural remedies you take for anger caused by hormonal changes that works for you? I hate the way I am - I just want to punch everyone I swear and scream at my loudest 😩

I feel like I need a weed whacker. Anyone braved this successfully? All tips welcomed. I had a periurethral tear, so I’m even more apprehensive. I’ve been cleared by my doctor at my 6 week appointment.

To my baby boy, I’m sorry I keep yelling at you lately. I don’t know what is driving me mad. The pressure of having return to work, the guilt that drowns me everytime I hear your cries when I have to leave you, or when you know I am leaving without you. I am sorry that I can’t seem to fix myself up so quickly so th...

I have had alopecia and was using minoxidil from last 4-5 years but had to stop using it due to pregnancy and then I suffered with a lot of hairfall almost to the point where I can see bald spots at the back of my head. I am worried it will get worse during postpartum. Does anyone know of good hair oil or hair produ...

Going incognito to vent about my MIL... My 7m baby is quite a content baby generally, but I had a few complications around the birth & she's had some sleep regression... Standard baby stuff & overall, I don't think I complain a lot! Ever since the birth my MIL has minimised my motherhood struggles. For example, we t...

I knew Christmas would be different with a baby but I'm not sure if I'm sad with how it all went. Me and my family and sister are all so close. I am 35 but still used to stay at mum and dad's Xmas eve until this year! It was lovely having my 11 month old at Xmas but I feel like I was there in body but not in mind. ...

My 13 week old has a massive bald patch on the back of her head but her hair everywhere else seems to be getting longer 😂

Hi everyone! Recently I have found that I will cry about the most random things! Like McDonald’s getting my order wrong triggered a whole crying spell! Most days I’m okay but some days anything will make me cry. Has anyone experienced this?

did you ladies wait the 6 weeks? how did sex feel?

I’m seriously considering getting labiaplasty. It’s something I’m quite embarrassed to admit. I am a single mum to a 1.5 year old who would be nearer 2/2 and a half by the time I get it done. Has anyone had this done? What’s the recovery like? Am I going to have to admit to someone exactly what I’m having…

I think I’m just really feeling it right now because a new year is about to start, and nothing has changed. I honestly thought I would never feel this way after having a baby (gave birth in April), and that I would be fulfilled. All I’ve ever really wanted was to be a mom, and I’m so blessed to have a happy, healthy...

Currently lying with my baby and I just feel so emotional and sad and I want to cry so badly but every time I get up to leave she wakes up and starts crying 😭😭😭

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’ve been struggling with my emotions and would really appreciate some advice or support. My husband and I decided to separate as his parents mentally distressed me since I had my baby which took a toll on me. I also had a traumatic birth experience, followed by an awful re...

Have y’all been able to have sex yet? I tried when I was 6 weeks and 2 days with a lot of lube but it hurt too much right away so has to stop right away. I was about to try again because I’ll be 8 weeks postpartum in 3 days, but even a tongue was causing me pain, it almost feels like a burning pain? Does anyone else...

Hi mamas! I am 3 months postpartum from baby girl and I also have a 2YO boy. My boy is in his terrible 2/ just being a boy. I am usually not a irritated person but right now I don’t even recognize myself. I am CONSTANTLY screaming at my toddler when he does something in which, is pretty much all the time cause you k...

So, about the ceo dying. Obviously killing another human being is awful but he did some disgusting things. I am in NO way defending him. I think he needed to be punished for what he has done to many families including MY family. But, my cousin who is also my best friends works for the company. She answers phone call...
