My baby girl is a week old today & I am starting to really struggle with my emotions. One minute Iām absolutely fine, the next I feel very tearful.. Will this subside soon? I feel awful for not feeling happy 100% of the time.
Is it normal to feel angry consistently. I feel like Iām constantly about to blow up and my partner always call me toxic..

Iāve just found out Iām pregnant and I donāt know how to tell, being completely honest. There was no excitement this time around and I feel so guilty over that.

I feel so much shame and guilt because this was a planned pregnancy for me but Iāve been under a lot of stress and feel alone.
Iām not sure what it is, but the last few months Iāve constantly been hearing COMPLETE STRANGERS have conversations or make comments about whether I am the Mother to my children - or not. Iām 25 with a 4 year old and 9 month old baby. Iāve always looked much younger than my age, and Iām not a makeup wearing kind of...

Before my son I would brush my hair and naturally the odd strand would come out but now I feel like itās got so much worse. Itās clumps and my hair just feels unhealthy and thin, whereas before it would look and feel healthy and thick. This picture is when I brushed it yesterday and the second picture in the commen...

How are you mamas doing postpartum? I hope well! As for me, the body aches are getting to me really bad. Also, sleep deprivation is taking me down a lot as I barely get enough sleep as is with a newborn and 17 month old. My blood pressure also dropped really low today and that was scary... I missed my breakfast whic...
