I’m really starting to struggle mentally. Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved every part of this pregnancy up until now. I was told 2 weeks ago I could have a sweep at my 39 week midwife appointment so to my surprise I go today and she said no you have to wait till next week! All I have done is cry ever since. I’m scared ...

When I was pregnant my BD decided one day ( out the blue) he wanted to just be friends. It broke my heart. We were all lovey dovey and very affectionate. Now, he doesn’t show me any affection. He comes to see the baby and we still laugh and talk but when he leaves he won’t even hug me. It hurts me sooo bad. He swear...

My mil is always saying how she can't wait to meet the baby and recently told me that she cannot wait to love on my son when he is born and kiss him ( she did say not on the face) she sometimes makes it sound like this is her baby or that she's overly excited about him and she even has said my baby once or twice whi...

I feel so broken my chest hurts. I was never able to make the man I love as happy as his ex's made him I'm just broken and I'm tired of been down every day

If you had your first baby over 35, were you able to get your pre baby body back? What did you do to get your body back?

I feel so guilty to out my LO in nursery. I have to work unfortunately, and I just feel like she’s absolutely distraught about not having me with her and it’s just so heartbreaking, I cry all the way to work.

Anyone else been experiencing stomach ache after eating? Is it normal

I’m 32 weeks pregnant today, and I have not had a stress free week since I’ve been pregnant. My bd is narcissistic. We had a bad falling out in August about a female on social media, who he was talking to but lied about it. Then we reconciled and she texted him that same night, along with another female. She showed ...

I’m not talking about how turned on you are either I strictly mean how it feels. For example when I’m in the luteal phase (right before period) it feels a lot more sensitive almost in a painful way. Note I’ve had 2 kids so idk if that has anything to do with it either

About 5 days before my period, anything and everything pisses me off. I hate my bf I want to end my relationship, put my kid out, smack my brother, burn dinner, put the dirty laundry in trash bags and toss em, flip off anyone who stares at me, Eat chocolate and anything fried, lots of Crying randomly, massive amount...

.. but my baby is driving me insane. It’s as though the past couple of days she’s decided she hates me but wants me at the same time. Constantly crying or moaning at me, but in comes daddy or anyone else and she’s smiles and happy, which is her usual self. She’s not unwell or teething as far as I can tell.. I just...

I am lashing out from stress at my fiancé and my nerves are shot I can’t stop shaking when I’m just sitting still. I’m just under so much stress overall and I don’t know how to handle it well or my body doesn’t know how to. I feel everything just keeps adding on to my bucket of “how much can I take?” My toddler al...

My baby is almost 16 weeks old. The crying is still increasing, feeding is difficult, falling asleep is difficult, sleeping more than 45mins is difficult to impossible. I've heard all kinds of reasons. It's the four month breastfeeding crisis, ie she's not as hungry anymore and gets distracted, it's the four month s...

I am feeling extra sad today. This morning my baby girl woke up crying for Mama while I was getting ready for work. I feel guilty for not being able to stay home with her and having to go to work.

This is going to be long, sorry! For aslong as I can remember, i’ve been anxious. I’ve tried everything over the years to help it but nothing has ever worked. The last few years i’ve suffered really bad health anxiety. This has now moved onto worrying about my baby. I can’t enjoy her because i’m constantly worried t...

Hi all, I was just wondering if this much hair loss is normal for 4 months pp??? This is what I've lost just from brushing my hair. It's NOT normal for me too loose this much. But I don't know if the amount I'm loosing is excessive. It's really getting me down 🥺

I’m hoping I’m not the only one.. my baby girl is 5months old, and since she’s been born she’s hated her car seat.. she’s now hating her pram! I can’t go anywhere, we can’t do anything and I’m stuck at home with her always. Soon as we get her all ready and in her car seat she will SCREAM the house down. She absolute...
