Has anyone who’s had a csection still been getting quite intense abdominal pain 8 weeks PP?? It’s not the scar that’s hurting it’s inside my tummy usually above where my scar is? If you have, did they ever say what was wrong ?

I was best friends with someone for about 15 years. Her son was like my first baby. We were inseparable. When I got married a few years ago, she was 1 of 3 girls who I had stand up in my wedding. She really dropped the ball in a lot of different ways and just was not a friend when I needed her. We really haven’t tal...

Hey girls, so I’m nearly 5 months PP and had an episiotomy at birth and I’m still finding sex painful and not enjoyable is this normal? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thanks🥰

What are we doing for postpartum hair loss?? It’s falling out in clumps and I’m taking my postnatal vitamins..idk what else to do. Help.

Has anyone experienced infidelity in their marriage, stayed in the marriage and was able to truly forgive, move past it and have a better marriage after that. I’m going through it now and I can’t see past the betrayal, rage, lies, pain and disbelief. We are in therapy but there are so many issues around it that I ca...

I find all me and my husband do since the baby was born is argue. Everything is an issue and we can’t seem to resolve many of them. He told me today he doesn’t think I love him anymore. I told him he doesn’t understand that having a baby attached to me 12-16 hours of the day doesn’t leave me with much time to be v...

Does anyone else have a baby that is miserable most of the time? She's 4 months old.... When awake (which is most of the time because she hardly sleeps) she just screams. I try entertaining her but she loses interest very quick and I am getting fed up of going to classes and groups and she is constantly crying. Also...

Sorry this is such a pitty party rant but I don’t think anyone gets how stressful it can be to have a baby who has allergies and eczema right from the get go. Our baby turned six months old and is sitting nicely so I thought brilliant, I can try her with some food. Well within five days she’s covered in a rash, scre...

So im 9dpo and been trying for 8 months to conceive my sister came over today to tell me she's pregnant and instead of being happy for her I burst into tears feeling upset it wasn't me. Has anyone else been through this how do you pull through

New mum here 🙋🏻‍♀️ her umbilical cord came off a few days ago. Does this look normal?

My son turned 2 last week and is very emotional this week. Getting clingy, very teary or having major meltdowns. He did start nursery last week too. Is this the terrible 2s or as a result of being left at nursery for the first time? It’s very emotionally and physically exhausting as I am pregnant too. So very tired ...

Hey, I am just really anxious about giving birth. On a scale from 0 to 10 how painful was your experience. What would you compare it with in other areas of life. Like is it worse then, say, appendix removal or a dog biting. 😅

Okay so I am in need of some pretty serous advice. My neighbor has a granddaughter right in between my daughters ages soon to be 8 and 10, granddaughter just turned 9. Anyway she is a super sweet girl, a good kid. She has become like my girls best friend she was their first friend they made when we moved in in June....

im 7 weeks pp and i have a shelf thats still firm/hard above my incision line. anyone else experience this?? how long is this supposed to last??

Postpartum rage, also dealing with a Narcissistic husband. I can't stand these days. So I checked myself in yesterday bc i couldn't take it anymore. It was nice talking to a pyschiatrist and a counselor... she told me "you're not crazy, you're just overwhelmed a d need rest, company and a therapist" or to either get...

I'm looking for other people's opinions on what they would do in my situation. There's a lot of other issues going on, but I'm mainly just asking about this specific thing (I'll explain below). My daughter's dad and I broke up last July and my daughter is now 5 months old. She is typically a very happy baby and eas...

I treated my mum to a drink yesterday as I haven’t seen her in a long time and doing that I feel like I messed up majorly. She tells me she is clean off drugs (cocaine) and that she will go to meetings and get help but she hasn’t at all. She has been up all night with my friend on coke and I’m absolutely angry. My m...

My baby is 4 weeks old, and I just started bleeding again. I was relieved when it had mostly stopped, but now it’s back (period like). Is that normal? I had a vaginal delivery

“Let him/her cry, he/she is alright.” Based on how I feel about this statement, it might be a bit obvious that I am a first time mom. Before I’d given birth I was against this method of parenting. I solely believe in doing what works for you, but I knew this was not something I would ever get accustomed to. There ne...
