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’...

Anyone just feel incredibly guilty that your toddler is being left out. Trying to include her in everything, holding him, letting her give kisses and cuddles, helping with feeds changing bum just baby life in general. We have had our own mornings where we get up together and have a few hours alone while daddy and ...

I get in my head so much and it pisses me off. I look at my son and I’m so happy I have him and that he’s all mines and I’m forever grateful for him.. but then I look at him and I get sad knowing that his father isn’t around and I will have to be the one to explain time and time again why his father chose to leave i...

I had an elected section as LO was breech and was stuck right up high. They said they made the incision and then had to left my belly basically up to my arm pits as they could not get baby out safely. LO is 5.5 months old now but I'm still getting pain and tenderness on one side. At my 8 week Postnatal check I brou...

Anyone that has IBS,how do you cope with everything on top of being a mum? I’m so worried of getting sick, not being able to go out with my daughter and I get no support from family or her dad.

How long did it take your baby to heal? And around how much ointment did you use? And what ointment did you use?

Is it normal to cry at least 3 days a week every week since giving birth. I am utterly miserable. I hate this. I seriously would love nothing more than to disappear. Not suicidally just run away. I can’t deal with the constant crying. All day every day. For weeks on end. Nothing I do is good enough. Nothing works. I...

This stage is mental. No one told me about this and no wonder… She’s like an emotional tornado at the moment 🌪️ Anyone else ?

He assaulted me so I left him. He's shown no interest in my daughters needs. He is entirely focused on emotionally abusing and being controlling using my baby as a weapon. He is causing so much stress on me and now threatening my family. I don't see the point anymore as I've put so much effort in and had only abuse....

My LO is 8 weeks old today and I just feel like a complete failure. I'm trying to hardest with everything. Breastfeeding after struggling with latching for the first 6 weeks and having to pump constantly. I've moved to a completely new area to my partners away from all my friends and familiar areas. No matter what I...

Hi everyone! I'm 8 weeks postpartum and recently found out I have some granulated tissue that's taking a while to heal. My provider mentioned the option of silver nitrate, but I wanted to check in and see if anyone here has experience with it. Did it help, and was it painful? Also, if anyone has any home remedies t...

My gorgeous baby girl is a week old and she’s so restless at night. She goes 3-4 hours between feeds in the day and we can put her down in the pram to sleep but at night she refuses to be put down. She screams and screams if we try and she feeds every hour. My husband and I are trying to sleep in shifts and take tur...

Hi everyone, So I haven't been on here since I last had my youngest little girl who will be turning 1 in a few weeks so I'm kind of out of practice on here! So me and my husband have been debating of whether to have another baby or not and this may come across as really selfish but we would both like a boy if we w...
