Anyone with two or more kiddos..... How is everyone coping? I was absolutely fine at the beginning with now having 2, but the older the baby gets the worse I seem to be struggling. The 3 year old is wanting more and more attention then this 4 month regression is really getting to me. I'm really starting to struggle,...

Hey ladies. So.. is anyone else having hair loss since their little angel arrived? Mine is so bad. Positive I have a bald spot but 21yo daughter says there's not one there. Gets cut etc so not just dead ends. It's driving me nuts!!

I’m a week and a half away from having a c section (first baby) and some people in my life just don’t seem to get the magnitude of it at all. I’ve had an old friend who’s life is super chaotic ask to come and stay for a week with her massive dog (in my tiny flat). And another old family friend decide now is the tim...

Anyone got any tips and tricks for hair loss?? I’ve been pulling out CLUMPS. I swear I’m gonna be bald by the end of the week. 😭😭 (3.5 months pp)

I let her see my baby once and hold because I felt bad..now she's a...

Has anyone else had an experience similar to me? My husband has been feeling very low since the birth of our second child (almost 3 months) and looking at everything he is feeling it seems to boil down to PPD, but he won't get help. I do understand why he isn't keen to seek help, he has a long history of depressio...

I am now six months postpartum and so much hair falls out when I shower or brush it 😞 is this normal or should I speak to gp?

My 3 year old has been driving my husband and i crazy for months now. We had to move her and her little brother into the same room a a couple of months ago due to inadequate air conditioning in our apartment and she has just become this really really bad kid (i hate calling her bad but theres no other word for it at...

Went to school last night because baby not boiling water on my hand while making a bottle anyway she has first or second-degree burns but is only one to 2% of her body. They did dressings and sent her home within a few hours. Remove the dead skin just wondering, I feel so bad. I feel awful like it was my fault and I...

Hubby and I are talking about ttc again. I’m 4 months postpartum (had a planned c section back in July) Obviously there are risks to conceiving before the 18 month pp (if we were to get pregnant before then that is…) Those who have gotten pregnant in the early parts of postpartum, how did the pregnancy go? Were t...

But can’t handle the pregnancy…mentally? My mental health suffered with my first but even worse this second time. I really want a third child but I feel SO defeated and have decided to grieve because I just can’t do it again 😔

Hey girlies, 38 weeks pregnant and labour is close. I’m super worried about having to have stitches down there if she rips me & terrified of the pain & thought of her ripping me… Any advice, or experiences to make me a feel a bit better prior to this inevitably happening?🥺🥺

Am I wrong for feeling like I want to distance myself from my long term friend of 10+ years because they have absolutely no respect for themselves at all. Constantly running towards those people who treated her wrong and have been vile to her… talking to this friend is pointless as it falls on deaf ears but as soon ...

I feel so sad my partner is working away for the week and it's just me and baby , she's been crying and fussy most of the day and I just feel so sad and overwhelmed just want to share my feelings, I don't have much family who can help.

My baby cries every time we go to her grandparents without fail..as in absolutely loses her mind screaming. She doesn’t usually cry, so it’s really strange for her. We lived with them for the first 6 weeks of her life, and then when we left she saw them twice a week. She’s now 17 weeks and for the past 4/5 weeks she...

Has anybody been doing anything to help with the hair loss? I’ve tried oil, I don’t brush it unless I really have to (I put it in really loose braids to keep it from knotting) and I don’t really pull it back too tight. I know it’s normal, I’m just starting to feel so self conscious about it. It’s so disheartening to...

Over the last month I’ve noticed that I’m losing more and more hair in the shower. It’s not like patches of hair or anything, just seems like there’s a lot more loose hair in there that’s coming out when I wash it. Today there was like 1.5x more than I’ve ever seen. My hair still looks and feels healthy otherwise an...
