Before I start.. this isn’t intended to offend anyone. All I constantly see on social media is babies/kids with autism. Tiktok is filled of videos of babies symptoms of autism… it seems i can’t escape it. I’m really struggling with anxiety and always have done. But i’m so stressed/worried about my baby. I know alot...

So I feel throughout my whole pregnancy my emotions have been pretty good! I got diagnosed with HG at the start which was sooo hard but settled once the anti nausea meds kicked in! But I hadn’t got overly emotional at all. This last week though (especially yesterday) I’ve been so up and down! Spent most of yesterd...

So my newborn is now 5 days old. I have a 2.5 yo girl too who has been the centre of my world which has made this change so hard (i think harder on me than her). Baby blues are hitting hard, I feel so low because of the change up. I had 1.5 hours sleep last night as baby wanted the boob most the night and struggled ...

Mums, help! I am feeling very emotional, very sad that I am going back to work in 2 days. My heart is breaking and I am crying. My maternity leave has not been easy at all and now I am pissed at myself for not enjoying it for the first 6 months. I love adore her so much and I want to be there for her always but now ...

The worst part of pp for me is feeling like my body is utterly ruined, not in appearance sense, but my ankles hurt constantly, my joints ache, my stomach is still sore from my c section. I used to be extremely athletic and fit and now I can barely get up off the floor. No one warned me how battered your body would f...

This sounds ridiculous but I'm becoming really anxious about my baby crying to the point where I'm on edge a lot whilst she's awake, almost like I'm waiting for the inevitable crying where I'll struggle to settle her. I then feel awful for wishing that she was asleep more, as at least she's not crying then 😔 She's…

Anybody else finding it really hard becoming a mum of 2 - I have an almost 5 year old and a 3 week old, my 5 year old has just started this terrible behaviour of not listening to anything I say and really playing up and pushing my buttons. I am finding I am loosing my patience and cool so much quicker now because I’...

Hi ladies, I’m 4 months pp and still find my lower stomach where the internal incision would be is still very tender and sore. The physical scar on the outside has healed very well but is sooo incredibly itchy! Would you say this is common?? Or shall I contact the GP?

They make PPD feel like something you should be able to check a box for at your 6-week follow-up. Baby at 6 weeks my baby had only been home for 3 1/2 weeks. I was still on my runner's high🤣. We are 14 weeks in honey ASK ME AGAIN! Because I feel sad now. I don't want to leave my baby bubble. I like waking up slowly…

Anyone else experiencing Braxton hicks?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm 34 weeks now

Hello everyone! I could really use some advice. I've got a 14-month-old daughter and a 3-month-old son. Things have been a bit crazy since my son was born as I literally had two under one. And now I have two under two. Also my husband works abroad every other month. So he is one months in the UK and one month abroad...

My baby was born in Nov 23 and we’ve only had 4 family members meet her so far. She somehow caught a virus from only limited exposure to those 4 people when she was 6 weeks old and we had to be hospitalized for a newborn fever. She was fine but it was policy to have her admitted and monitored due to her age. Ever si...

How does everyone cope when they’re little ones are ill? I know it’s normal to worry but my LG currently has a fever/ antibiotics and I feel like the stress and anxiety of it takes over my life I literally struggle to think about anything else!

Shes always been such a bubbly little baby but she’s gone really quiet and I feel like when I have the baby she looks really sad. I’m sure it’s just my hormones messing with me but it’s made m...

Baby is 13 months now and I've never really wanted anyone to look after him other than me or my partner. He does have separation anxiety and I feel like my partner is blaming me for that because no one looks after him. I'm not bothered about having me time or going on dates etc; I just want to look after my own ch...
