Since I gave birth, husband has changed a lot. I almost feel like he's not happy. My baby is 2 months today and we ain't spoken for 5 weeks . Am being stubborn because he wronged me and he does not want to apologise . Its sad and I am fed up. There's no speaking to him. Plus he wants that when I shouldn't have to s...

Anyone else experiencing postpartum irritability/anger? I know there’s such a thing as postpartum rage but I don’t think it’s to that level and it’s not towards my baby, it’s more just like a constant irritability most likely stemming from lack of sleep and lack of control. And then I do feel guilty/shame for being ...

Kind of a venting session but also looking for some advice .. so my child’s father and I have been separated and trying to coparent since my son was 2 months old and he’s now 4.5. It hasn’t been an easy road by far but I used to think it was worth it, because my son had a father in his life. My child’s father ha...

Hi ladies!! Does anyone have any tips on how to manage postpartum hair loss. My hair is currently coming out in chunks 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have on and off alopecia anyway prior to pregnancy so that doesn't help, but this hair loss is all around the front of my hair line which is new for me. Thank you in advance for any help ❤️

When did PP hair loss stop for y’all? May be bald here soon 🤣

I’m feeling a lot of mum guilty at the moment. My little one has been really fussy recently, and I’m trying all things I can think of to keep her happy. I play with her, I feed her when she is hungry, I put her to sleep when she’s tired, take her on walks, I even try a bit of dancing fruits. But nothing seems to k...

I feel awful. Last night, as usual, I picked up my daughter to feed her, and I missed the back of the bed while sitting down. We fell and we both hit something—I bumped my head on the nightstand, and my daughter hit her crib. I ended up with a head bruise, and my daughter has red marks and a bump. I still can’t get ...

Since baby arrived my husband has been very low mood. Struggling to motivate himself to get washed and dressed. Rarely interacts with baby and opts to dothe practical things like make bottles, housework etc rather than baby related things. Always on his phone , even when holding baby, absolutely no interest in mys...

I just turned 35 weeks today I'm having constant pain uncontrollably pain won't go away at all n having contractions

I'm having a really hard time at the moment with my emotions and it makes it worse that my husband is pushing me over the edge. His older daughter hates me and so does his mum, so he takes their side for everything and it all seems to be my fault in the end. I've got a 7 weeks old baby and I love him to bits but a f...

I’ve been a sahm with her since she’s been born but now that we soon can use the free hours funding she will be going to nursery in the new year and I’ll be working part time.

Is anyone else’s relationship with their partner struggling since having babies .. or has anyone separated ? I’m struggling a lot at the moment with my partner and don’t know what to do

My little girl is 18 months old, newborn and infant was a breeze but I’m struggling with this toddler phase😔 Feel like such a bad mum that I’m really struggling with her, she hits, she throws things, started now with tantrums, becomes really naughty when she’s tired, I feel like I’m just failing at being a parent…

Hi there, Has anyone in this group with endometriosis (or who has had a previous laparoscopy for any other reason) noticed any changes to their laparoscopy scars post pregnancy? I had a c section two weeks ago and my lowest laparoscopy scar is now larger and puffier with purple marks around it. Not sure if that’s n...

Anyone have any success stories? Me and my ex co parent and are both great parents. We split because of his mental health and we both really needed to work on ourselves, and I’ve spent the whole year doing that. Anyone have any success stories on sleeping with their ex and it working out? Or is it just a bad idea an...

My second child is impossibly clingy. To the point she’s affecting my mental health SEVERELY. She doesn’t sleep well, held for every nap and all through the night, which is one thing but worse she won’t be held by anyone else. No amount of therapy sessions are helping me right now. My husband, her own father, doesn’...

I punched the door twice and screamed at the top ...
