I’m in a relationship and it’s been so chaotic these past few months. We’ve been arguing so much about the littlest things and I keep telling him I need him to show me more love and affection. He says he’s not able to if he’s stressed and we are just in this loop of fighting over the same issues. I found out I’m pre...

I’m so upset because I like having sex and I wanna do it while we can before I have the baby and we have to take a long break. I think the challenge is silly and I hate that he’s for real about it. 🙄🙄🙄

I have two little ones - almost 3, and 18 months. I find it really hard to put into words how I feel, but most days I feel so overstimulated, overwhelmed, stressed. I find myself snappy and shouty and the littlest things trigger me. I find myself bubbling with rage sometimes. For example - if I’m putting them to...

2 weeks today since my c section and I’m on day 3 now of a pounding non stop headache. I’ve been over heating and been experiencing vision blackness and flecs also experiencing nausea and abdominal cramping. Although my section area is healing perfect and I have no pain there it’s all in my stomach. My stomach is ha...

I’m 3 weeks post pp and I just have no mental capacity for socialising or conversation. I’m in great spirits so it’s not post natal depression, I just have absolutely nothing to contribute in conversation. I think it’s just being so tired and so consumed with my baby but it’s so difficult when family and friends wha...

Hey ladies, I am 3 months pp and I was wondering if it’s okay now to use tampons. None of the pad I have used stay in place and it’s becoming a little bit of a problem.

Hello, not sure if it's worth asking about but I'm 10 weeks PP and I'm just feeling overly deflated and emotional. I had baby blues for about the 2 weeks after and after that I was fine. Every day I try to be positive and convince myself I'm ok but when I'm home alone I could just cry. I don't feel appreciated at al...

Can anyone give advice on what life really is like with 2under2. My daughter will be turning 2 when my new baby will be due and I’m honestly terrified. I know it sounds awful but I’ve been considering termination even though I’m only 5 weeks I’m just terrified. My husband also works long days so it’ll be mainly left...

Hi everybody 😊 I had an emergency section 17 months ago, and I’m now 18 weeks pregnant with my second child. This time round, I’m noticing much more tenderness and pain in my lower abdomen around my scar. Lifting my toddler can become really painful on my muscles, even walking for a short period of time - I didn’t…

For the constant whinging and crying over the things that only makes sense to a toddler to cry about, it is frustrating my oh my. Hats off to all the toddler mums, nothing is easy about this stage, it’s pure joy to see their personalities shining through, but if you ask me, personally this has been the hardest stage...

Hey ladies! I’m currently three and a half months postpartum and my hair is coming out in really big clumps everyday now, does anyone have any product recommendations or tips/advice on what to do with my hair during this time?! Thank you 🤍

Hiya, good morning. I really need advice on how to write a message for somebody on my partners side- Her female child has been diagnosed with autism. I personally feel like every message written has looked like somebody has died and I really want to avoid that- I work in MH and LD and I’ve never been stuck with ...

Has anyone found anything that helps reduce hair loss? 😭😭

It’s insane how parenting really shows you things about yourself you didn’t realize were there. I have been really struggling with triggers. I have NEVER been an angry person…it’s pretty difficult for me to ever experience genuine anger…until these kids! I get triggered, they aren’t listening, they are yelling and f...

I don’t know if it’s the seasonally depression or this pregnancy but I don’t feel like myself. I just sometimes cry thinking about it. I barely do anything for myself. I just rot in bed lazy all day. I don’t even feel pretty or like myself lately. Anyone else experiencing this??

When did everyone start to experience post partum hair loss and how long did this last?

I just had my second baby 2 days ago and I’m going through it BAD I just need to vent and I have nobody to talk to 😓

Ok I’m gonna be honest and say I know my feelings are wrong / immature and that most likely I’m the issue . I’m having a hard time with loving my step daughter the same way I do my bio daughter . I try . I really do . To the point where I lose my sanity always trying to go above and beyond and sometimes looking past...

Is their any free resources I can be directed to ? I’m currently pregnancy ( 7mos ) and my mental health is worse than it’s ever been. I got pregnant after almost finishing my college course where I wasn’t working for the 2 years while doing it so now I have no help or anything and it’s really disheartening :( didn’...

so I lost my mum around a year and a half ago, and honestly I know it’s still fairly fresh but almost every day I’m in tears due to this I’m really struggling, I’m just wondering if anyone has been through this or has any advice, I know it’s ok and good to cry but literally I mean I’m in floods of tears almost every...
