Is anyone else’s baby loosing their head hair? My boy is receding like an old man.

I wish I had someone I know and trust to tell them how I really feel and not just a therapist who is paid to listen and give advice. I wish I would have listened to what my partner wanted in the beginning of our relationship so I wouldn’t be in the relationship mess I’m in right now. I wish my relationship was as ea...

Hey ladies. I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPD. This isn’t a pitty party nor am I looking sympathy as I’m sure there is soo many other mummy’s in same position as me.

Seriously, how are you coping with your clingy babies? I can’t do this. Some days are like a big NO. I. can’t do this.

I'm a stay at home mom, 28 weeks pregnant, and of course have my 19 months old. My husband works from 5am-7pm, so I'm alone all day every day. Things are getting tough for me over here.

Does anyone else suffer from post partum rage? Not the sad, anxiety or wanting to lay in bed all day but genuine rage.

All the cooking, cleaning, nappy changes, feeds, bathing. He does none of it. I understand that this is just par...

When I was 6 days postpartum my sister in law invited me to her hen do in May for 3 nights/4 days. At the time I instantly said no and that I didn’t want to leave my little girl. My MIL really pushed against my decision and said that I was being ridiculous, to the point she made me cry. It was then agreed that I’d d...

Hi all! I’m nearly 4 months postpartum and my hair is falling out so so much! I can literally pull strands of it out and when I brush my hair, it falls onto the floor. I can physically feel it getting thinner. Any suggestions on what to do?!

I find myself mourning the life I had and the routine and ease at which I could do the things I wanted to, such as spend quality time with my husband. At the same time, I feel guilty for feeling this way because I feel so lucky that we've been able to have our daughter, especially when people we know have desperatel...
