hormonal.

Anyone else struggling with their hormones in 3rd trimester? Ever since I hit 28 weeks which is over a week ago now I’ve been so down, can’t stop crying and when being asked why the answer is always “I don’t know” is this a sign of antenatal depression? Just wondering if anyone else is going through similar feelings.

How do I pray for my child?

I have a daughter, age 4. I’m religious but her father isn’t fully there yet. He wasn’t raised in the Word like I was and he tends to do things like curse, be verbally homophobic, or call ppl “demons” when playing video games. I’m in the process of leaving him because his parenting style doesn’t promote positivity a...

Still struggling after 2 years

My daughter was born unexpectedly at 23 weeks, 2 years ago. She is honestly doing amazing, the doctors say she is a miracle and we should just treat her as a “normal” girl, since she has no “issues” from being born so early.
