Anyone else's LO just intolerable right now? Constantly crying and whining for no obvious reasons?

I now have a 9 week old as well as my April 22 baby. He's done really well adjusting and there are still bits of jealousy and telling us to put baby down but he is excited to see her etc. I think when she can interact more with him, it will be that big easier. Right now she poorly and crying lots, she's a screamer ...

So lately I have been getting some muscular/stretching pains near my scar and bottom of pouch. I believe its usually after I have been lifting or carrying things.... particularly our son who is not light anymore 😂 Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

How many of us October mamas are back to having sex? How are you finding it? Anyone masturbating again?

I feel like I’ve lost my happy baby. He used to be so chill and now he cries at everything especially getting changed or having his nappy done, he isn’t sleeping, it’s so hard to get his milk down him and to top it off he’s teething. All I see is everyone loving life with their babies at this age but I’m really stru...

My LG has just started leap 8 and along with this has come days full of tears and tantrums, refusing to eat, poor sleep (can’t see any sign of new teeth so don’t think it’s teething). She’s always been so easy and content that this is completely out of character from anything before this. This is the hardest stage I...

So my husband and I drove up with our baby to visit his parents as we won’t be spending time with them at Christmas. We get there and found out that my MIL forced my FIL to come to the Christmas meal but he didn’t want to as he is sick with a cold. We only found out once we were seated at the table which made me so ...

Hi, I am 9 months pp and still feel like I’m constantly overwhelmed, overstimulated, and ragey. I feel like I’m always in a bad mood and my husband has noticed and brought up his concerns about it. Is there anything I can do or take to help? I’ve read about the benefits of ashwagandha but I’m still breastfeeding and...

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and I have days where I just feel to cry, I’m definitely not depressed or anything but the littlest thing can make me cry and think about everythinggggg. Anyone feel the same/similar?

I just need someone to talk to that will understand…

I don’t feel connected or attached to this pregnancy. It’s my first and I know what I’m having but I was looking at my nursery and realised that I don’t feel like I’m having a baby and I feel like all the things we have are for someone else. A bit like imposter syndrome and to be honest I’ve felt this way when I’m b...

I got her shaved at first week and so far her hair growth seems less even though it's been 6 months now. I'm considering maybe shave again for better growth? That's what I've heard, don't believe in it

My son has black hair but yesterday my husband noticed a long white strand of hair and I’ve just noticed another one at the back of his head! What can cause this?? Super stressed. Need advice please

Oh guys, the guilt I am feeling. I’ve always thought I was a pretty good mum. I have a 2.5 y/o daughter and she and I have been peas in a pod since the beginning. I get her, we cooperate and communicate, and I go to a lot of effort to give her good experiences, to make her feel understood and respected and listened...

First off I know this is sounds dark but there’s no need to worry because I can’t do anything. I think of my child growing up without me and I just can’t. But I just want to die. I’m so tired. I hated my childhood. I hate every aspect of my life and sometimes myself. I have no friends anymore. I thought I made a goo...

Hi mamas, wanted to ask you all if any of you ever have or are experiencing a very attached 2-year-old. My daughter is so attached to me from the moment she gets up from bed. I would hear Mama call out at least a hundred times during the morning. I can't go to the bathroom alone she will start screaming and crying...

i don’t know what’s in the air or what but people are getting wild with the “when are you having another?” lol please just pay attention to the one year old in front of you. and furthermore, are we not supposed to wait 2 years for the body to regenerate itself and come back to focus first?? let me walk properly and ...

My little baby is 8 months and I struggle with attachment with him . Or maybe I don’t know what real attachment is for starters but I feel nothing. Sometimes I feel like hugging him etc but for the most part I feel bland just nothing. I know I love him but I just don’t feel like butterflies others feel . I feel awfu...

In the last month now It seems every week I have 1 or 2 crying episodes. With each episodes I did genuinely have reasons to cry or be upset but the problem is once I start crying the tears don’t seem to stop. I’ll be crying for hours. Tonight I’ve been crying at least 8 hours, obviously with breaks in between but I ...

I waited my six weeks to have sex and my doctor cleared me to have sex. But I am super sore afterwards. Is this normal?
