I’m honestly at my wits end, I have never had a break from the time I gave birth to our first daughter which was Nov2021 , I’m now pregnant with our 2nd child and I’m honestly just done . I am always the person that takes care of everyone but when it comes to me? I literally cry everyday thinking I have no one I can...

I just confirmed that my best friend of 15+ years is fucking my boyfriend/baby daddy. I can’t breathe I don’t know to do. I’m in so much pain. I’m nauseous. I want to scream and punch things but I can’t. We have kids together, we live together. She lives with her boyfriend as well. I just don’t know why, why would t...

So I’ve been having ongoing issues with my neighbour constantly playing excessively loud music all hours of the day. I’ve spoken to him a couple of times and he’s quieter for a bit and then it starts going up and up. Tonight we have been woken up to the loudest music ever and lads shouting over the top of it. Obviou...

Any advice on avoiding back pain? 😭 Currently 3 weeks EBF my newborn and my back/shoulders are DYINNGG. Does the pain ever lessen because tonight I just want to cry it hurts so bad.

I don't know what to do anymore. I never used to be one to get angry fast. Now, sometimes, I feel like it's the only ending. A good day ruined by rage. I try my best to stay calm with my kids, but they're crazy they get the more overwhelmed I get, and my brain just goes into fight mode. I feel like an awful mother....

My patience is dwindling, and I feel like it's so much worse postpartum.

For those who have had tears/hemorids, what is the best thing to help deal with the pain/healing? My tail bone area is so sore and it doesn’t help that you have to sit like that in the hospital bed. I can’t imagine going home feeling like this tomorrow.

I can't believe he's already one year old now (Feb 20th) 🤗😍❤️. My little one will be always a baby in my head and I'm blessed and happy to watch him grow up. A couple of weeks before his birthday I was having terrible headaches and vomiting. I went to the UCI Hospital and they told me I was having hydrocephalus……

Had emergency surgery Wednesday and my stomach is so so sore to move etc. I had my gallbladder out November and they cut thru the same incision in my belly button which was still healing not sure if that’s making it worse☹️ Any advice tips etc and how was you on recovery?

I met my husband when I was a teen. Anyway it progressed and got married when I was 26. After 5 years of marriage, my husband now has psychological issues ( depression, anxiety) and health conditions so is currently out of work. Was speaking to my sister and she asked why he’s out of work. So I told her. And she...

I just don't know how to help her. She seems so scared of everything. We just went to a kids disco tonight and her friend who is 10 month older was off dancing around the room but my LO just wanted to stay next to me the whole time and then she cried and wanted to go home. I am a gentle parenter but I'm wondering if...

Looking for some reassurance that I’m not the only one feeling like this 😭 Before I had my baby (1 month old now) me, my husband and toddler (3 years old) had such a great routine as a family of 3. I was loving life and felt like we were all thriving in work, nursery, at home etc my toddler sleeps really well and…

So, I saw a new therapist after being cut off from my old one cause I got a new insurance, so I’m back to the drawing board with finding a new therapist I like 🥴. Anyway, so I’m super awkward when I meet someone new ESPECIALLY when I have to talk about myself personally. So, during the appointment I’m talking about…

I’m 4 month PP and still exclusively breastfeeding and the thought of having sex actually repulses me. Does this go away? I read it can be down to breastfeeding and being touched all day so I’m not sure if it’s that or hormones or what but I want to be close to my partner, just not in that way. If there anything to...

Having a baby with someone that isn’t a happy individual overall really affects your postpartum. I love my child with my whole heart and I wouldn’t change her but her father isn’t who I thought he was and I feel so terrible for my child because this is the father I chose for her. A man that isn’t vulnerable and that...
