I’m about 6 days past frozen embryo transfer and I really don’t have any symptoms. I read that doing acupuncture helps the common implantation and early pregnancy symptoms more bearable or non existent Is this true or possible. Anyone here who did acupuncture before and after the transfer and still had symptoms

I always wanted kids, but I never saw myself as a “mom”. I am the breadwinner, and after having our first child, a daughter, all I want to do is be a stay at home mom. I love her so much and want to be there for everything. I don’t know how to balance the corporate structure I’m currently in with the need to provide...

Okay mamas, is there anyone that has a tendency to have hypertrophic scars? If so have you had your incision open for a few weeks? How did it end up healing?

My little girl turns 1 this month, and lately, I feel like everyone around me keeps asking, “So, when’s baby number two?” To be honest, I’m not sure I want to do it all over again. My pregnancy was quite full-on as I’m diabetic, and then I had a traumatic c-section. To top it off, my little one spent 10 days in NIC...

So I’ve just gave birth this week and my baby is 4 days old, my mum is helping me with the baby which I appreciate so much …but at night when we take turns she wears her outside clothes that has her heavy perfume on it & when she holds my baby upright he’s trying to eat her clothes. I told her not to wear outside cl...

Losing a lot of hair, and thinning out around my edges and now I look like a cartoon villain/ pimp named Slick Back when it’s tied back. Any advice that’s actually helped is most welcome.

How does one find happiness after birth? My baby girl is coming up on her 2 month mark and when i pump, breastfeed or try to calm her down from crying. I will space out, feel overwhelmed and cry when i get alone time. I love my baby and would be devastated to lose her but the weight after birth, trying to still take...

My bd has proven in so many ways he’s not interested in being a father. His mom keeps saying he cares and making excuses for him and babying him. She finally came over to see my baby and she keeps saying different rights they have and persisting on different things and calling me overprotective. I feel she’s bringin...

I feel very mentally fuzzy. I’ve been depressed before and I know I don’t feel depressed but I am feeling just mentally off. I can’t really seem to get a grasp on anything, my short term memory is almost gone and I’m not as sharp as I usually am. It feels like I’m mentally underwater. Has anyone experienced this? Or...

Hey Mama’s , i’m new to being a single mom of a three-year-old and a two year-old. I’ve basically been doing this by myself from the start, but I’ve been in a toxic relationship where are things for healthy and then it got very toxic. From the mamas who had dealt with someone who is narcissistic and someone who chea...

I was never prepared to become a mother I never prepared myself. I never took good care of myself and now it's even worse and I am the worst mom ever. I have yelled at my 4 year old multiple times before. Today it happened I apologized and later in the night ended up doing it again. I know I'm losing her trust and I...

Need advice! Have a 2 year old. I’m 12 weeks pregnant and 40 years old. We did IVF for both babies. In this pregnancy I’ve been sick for 6 weeks straight.. every single day. It’s starting to take a toll. I feel horrible I can’t take care of my daughter. I’m starting to feel like I jumped into this too soon and not s...

Literally take a ten minute break and let your baby cry. Put them down in a safe place like a play pen or crib, tune them out and do a craft or something that truly makes you feel positive and relaxed. I was feeling so burnt out and frustrated and basically "over it" with my baby after a rough week and literally 10 ...

My mum came to stay to “help” with baby born on 30th. She got a migraine and threw up orange puke all over my £2k carpet, which I work really hard to keep clean. I’ve washed it twice with my machine and it’s not coming out. I get that it’s not her fault, but I’m pretty mad she couldn’t have made it to the bathro...

During my pregnancy my ex was horrible and wasn’t there. He would bread crumb me and then act like the nicest person. I didn’t realise the bad shift until his ex told me they slept together. It then all made a lot of sense. He told me he was stressed but I was going through my first pregnancy and I was sick all the ...
