Will you still see someone or even let them cuddle your baby if they have a cold? I have health anxiety so I stay well away and still ask people if they are poorly before I see them. It’s making life really hard now especially as it’s winter

Ok so I just had my son 3 months ago. I have been using contraceptive to avoid getting pregnant and we use it every time. My first period after birth was very light and barely even lasted a day.. so my period has been all over the place not really even coming fully. I have heard it takes a while for your hormones to...

I am 14 months postpartum, and I feel that my body is a mess and my relationship with my husband is not that good either. My goal for 2025 is to start taking better care of myself too.

Toddler and newborn, both incredibly high needs. Just really struggling with having children scream at me 24 hours a day. All I seem to do is clean, tidy and look after children who are either screaming or tantruming. Feel so touched out and overwhelmed at the end of the day.

My beautiful baby boy was born on december 16th, and he's absolutely perfect! For all my boy moms, how are we feeling about circumcision? I have an appointment set with his pediatrician, but I am 50/50 on it. I don't really see the point other than risk of infection is lower but high when you get it done and I guess...

My friend Whitney was being a bitch to me after I delivered. I told her I had a spinal head ache and I was in bed while my husband took care of baby including feedings and doing all chores in house like laundry. She told me *I* should be feeding him , not him. BITCH. 😡 I'm so mad!!!! FYI spinal head aches are…

Ever since my baby turned 14 weeks it’s just whinge whinge all the time. There’s nothing wrong with her like hunger nappy whatever but 1-8 weeks just crying constantly, 8-14 weeks totally new baby so happy all the time and smiling then 14 weeks hit and back to the constant crying and moaning. It’s exhausting serious...

My 13 month old wakes up screaming (like blood curdling scream) every 5-45 minutes. Always has done. Cutting out dairy and eggs has helped but not totally fixed it, just means she's generally a bit easier to settle. I've been back and forth to the GP, hospital, paediatrician, no one is helping other than to suggest ...

I’m at my wits ends. My baby is so grumpy. I’m sick of it. Nothing is really wrong, she’s just miserable. Constantly whining, fighting sleep and just generally being cranky. I feel like this has been going on for months and i’m starting getting concerned. Anyone else going through this?

I am not sure if it’s because I already have a 3 year old or perhaps since this second child is a boy or maybe hormones, but I am so sad. He’s already so big! I feel like everyday just flies by too fast and I’m missing it all in a blink of an eye. I remember when my first was this small and now she’s a whole monkey!...

I am so desperate with controling my bladder after giving birth. I have been through a traumatic labour with induction, 19 hours of epidural, forceps… they tried to put catheter 4 times for me but it wasn’t working. it has been 3 weeks living with the leakage. Doctor only recommended Pelvic floor exercises. I do NHS...
