Is anyone else really struggling with the new born stage? I’ve been finding it really hard especially at night. I have a 1 month old girl who wants fed every 2 hours day and night. She can be really fussy and takes a while to settle again so sometimes she is only asleep for half an hour to an hour at a time. Last ni...

Having to cut my mom off because she never respected my wishes since finding out I was pregnant. This has to be the hardest thing I’ve done my mom and are were best friends at one point but all has changed once she met my husband and found out that I was pregnant. I’ve always been there for her and thought that s...

I lost myself. And not just an, “Oops, I took 3 left turns to go right”. Looking back, I don’t remember many details of my son’s first year of life. I don’t remember his first word. His first steps. His favorite food. When he rolled over or sat up. I remember breastfeeding. I remember my oldest daughter being ...

Hi, I’m still getting pain during sex and I’m now 9 months pp. My partner and I haven’t had loads of sex since I gave birth for a few reasons so idk if my body just has to get used to it again. However, it’s still painful especially when he goes in quite deep. Is this normal or should I be going to see a doctor? M...

Seeking a bit of ‘I know how you feel!’ I had my second baby in November and I can honestly say it’s been a real struggle. My firstborn is really struggled with sharing me and often results in a lot of tantrums or negative behaviour to get my attention. This often results in my first being told off by me on the ba...

My baby girl and I’m meeting a friend with her baby for the first time next weekend. They were both born in December so we’re just doing a little walk with our babies together. My baby was born 26 weeks gestation though so she just recently reached her due date and isn’t able to smile or laugh or hold her head up ye...

I honestly feel like I’m dealing with postpartum depression. My son is a month old and last night he was screaming crying and nothing would help. My bf tried to call his mom so I blacked out, grabbed my baby and the next thing I know I’m in the room sobbing with him screaming in my arms. Today my bf decided to have ...

Why when you tell a man he’s treating you wrong they get mad instead of apologizing and asking what can they do better

My 14 year old is so rude to my husband. They used to be so close. As she gets older she is getting worse. I keep praying it’s a phase and it’s not getting better. She’s spending more time with her dad and I’m sure that’s a huge part of it. He is so toxic and she’s doing a lot of things he’s doing. My husband used t...

That's how my day is going with a threenager. Woke her from her nap for her to cry and scream for her dad (who had gone to the shop) for 10 minutes straight. She didn't take a breath, didn't want comforting, kept shouting I wasn't her best friend, I was stupid and to go away and when I tried to comfort her she bit...

I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

I had baby n2 in Jan via emergency c section and it was a near death experience, I absolutely hate my birth story and I cringe or cry everytime I think about it. I’ve kept really busy these past two months so I feel like the pain is only now catching up with me. Also, baby was in the nicu for two weeks. Anyone else ...

Currently going through purple crying. Late at night for hours just him crying no matter what I do. I’ve broke down because of it. Has anyone else gone through it?

I'm living with my BD but I need to leave because he's a narcissist and stressing me and my babies out. They don't even believe he likes them because of the way he treat them.

Most women don’t like it when someone calls her baby “my baby” I just like a lot of other women really can’t stand that but recently I have come to really dislike when my boyfriends mom refers to my child as her sweet pea (as in I’ll post a picture or send her a picture and she says oh my sweet pea I love her so muc...

I’ve just had my second baby and my husband is such a horrible person. Whilst i was in hospital (was there for over a week) he was so loving and caring, saying he missed me and all that bs. Now that im home, in the space of 2 days he’s made me cry my eyes out, argued with me, and constant blaming me for everything e...
