Baby losing hair

Anyone’s baby still losing hair? My LG was born with quite a bit of hair and it all eventually fell out in stages. I thought we were done and this would be her hair now but the front sides have now started to thin out again 🤦‍♀️

Baby fell back

Hi, my baby is almost 4 months old and has started sitting for short periods then falls. I usually have my hands ready to catch her, but this time she fell backwards and hit the back of her head on the floor. She was on her playmat, which was also on top of another bigger floor mat which is squishy but not that th...

Seeing stars briefly

I had an eyelash patch test done and as I wasn’t completely sat up right, saw stars afterwards which puts me off having my lashes done! Anyone had a similar experience after laying down for a beauty treatment? I don’t see stars now, was just when I opened my eyes

PPA

So I didn’t realize that I had PPA with my first child until I had my second. They are 20 months apart. And things are just so much easier and I’m like calm now. I really had no idea. But now I look back at the first year with my oldest and I’m just so sad for us both. I made everything soooo much harder. I was kind...

I feel like a failure

I don’t get out of the house. I have an almost two year old. And a two month old. And we are home 99.9% of the time. Unless we go grab groceries which is usually just a pick up. And occasionally when their dad is home, we go to the park for an hour or so. But mostly we just sit at home. In this damn living room. We ...

12 year old SD - help

I honestly feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with a 12 year old. I don’t understand why she keeps doing it. She said she is joking. So she will stare and glare, make sure I see. Sometimes I call her out, others times not as that’s what she wants. She smile and laugh and be like what I wasn’t. And she repeate...

I’m having a lot of anxiety thinking about having a second child since my first is on the spectrum and I just had such a hard time seeing them struggle with milestones and especially with the lack of interest in me and being aware of regular things in general. I feel like no one talks about this but being a first ti...

Struggling with my relationship with God

I hate that I feel this way. I’m pregnant with my 2nd child (baby boy) and have a 4 year old lil girl. I’m diabetic and have been lied to, they’ve been trying to scare me about all the risks of having a natural labor. And unfortunately I fell for it. I worry so much and today I went in for my 37 week check up and th...

Not bonding

I’m 26 weeks and I find it impossible to bond with baby. I have videos of kicks and tracked my bump along the way because I know I will want to look back on these moments.
