Does anyone else lose this amount of hair everytime it gets brushed. It’s actually getting me so down.

I feel like the worst parent ever right now. I put my 4mo baby in her highchair and like an idiot I didn't buckle her in before I turned away for literally half a second and she fell head first to the floor and now I'm bawling my eyes out waiting for my mother to get here so we can go to the hospital because I can't...

I feel awful! My baby is about 5 months old and fell off the bed a few days ago. I phoned 111 immediately and took baby into hospital the next day for an assessment. The doctor who did the assessment thought the baby was fine. The fall was the same height of not shorter than baby and it was onto a carpet. None the...

I was reflecting on my pregnancy, how it went and how it changed my relationship to family and friends. My daughter had a stroke in utero and we found out when she was 3 days old. She’s a year old today and happy as a bunny. Your typical 1 year old menace, running and causing chaos lol. I’ve also had to have a c- s...

My girl is 4 months, and she just started becoming so fucking fussy! Like literally can’t do anything to help her At first I thought it was gas but now I don’t think it’s that anymore. Like she’s fighting her naps so hard! And I’ll try to feed her extra to make her sleepy and it works but as soon as I lay her down...

Is anyone else finding it so hard at this stage? Not sure if I need advice or just to rant. I feel like I’m so sleep deprived that I’m going insane fast. Very hormonal and emotional. My partner is not very understanding and we are bickering and arguing a lot which doesn’t help. I’ve been ok up until now and then a...

Hey mamas🫶, did any of you mamas experience hair loss during postpartum? 😩 And how long does it last ? Any recommendations as oil or cream wise would be handy x Thank you xx

My baby has recently started whining and I’m with her pretty much all the time. It’s driving me crazy. Is anyone else experiencing this? How do you stay sane?

Since becoming pregnant with my first daughter in 2022 my relationship with my own mother has become strained. Initially I was very blinded by this as she had verbal outbursts at me during pregnancy and post birth stating we weren’t close anymore and demanding to know what my problem was (I didn’t have one). I am ...

Hi looking for some friendly supportive advice - I suffered with quite bad anxiety when I first had my LG, focused around her weight as we had a tricky start to feeding … I got much better and my LG turned 18mo yesterday and is doing well in all areas apart from talking … she’s babbling, points, interacts etc but is...

Hey I need help or some type of advice. I’m having postpartum hair loss and it’s been getting bad. What can I do to stop it from falling out?

I'm due in Feb with my second, I already have a 3 year old and she is my world. She is so excited to meet her sister but lately she has been very clingy and alot more tantrums and I don't know if its because of the baby or just one of those things?

Hey yall, I’m 8 months postpartum and I’m still struggling with horrible anxiety. I’m not sure If it’s still my postpartum anxiety that I had after having my son or if this is different from that. I’m really struggling over here. From worrying about my kids just slipping to if they have the slightest cough I go into...

Hi ladies, my partner had only been in since Feb last year and has got his first deployment dates for next year. We have a baby (he will have just turned one) and I am already having anxiety attacks about how I'll cope when he goes. I'm a ftm and have had mental health issues previously, is this normal with 8 month...

We just had another screening today and although his speech and communication has improved so much since the last one, he still scored a 9 high risk on the M-CHAT. I’ve had a few people ask me if he’s on the spectrum because he is a little sensitive about certain things but lately I really didn’t consider it because...

I gave birth to my beautiful little girl September 20th 2024 at 12:37pm and I couldn't find myself any luckier than I am having her. The only problem is I have gallstones and developed them during pregnancy, having my first flare up 13th July. I had about 14 more flareups since then. When I have a flareup I can't...
