I feel afraid and stressed. How do I come to enough peace inside to let her out, with so much uncertainty? Now I’ve got a new fear of having to be induced. And I’m uncomfortable with the idea of being in such a vulnerable position with him as my support.

My MIL lives close and she wants to come over weekly for a few hours to see my daughter and her son and I - which isn’t a problem.

Hello! I’m a therapist and would love to poll other moms: I’ve been thinking about starting a support group for new moms in which everyone brings their baby, part of the theme would be exploring who we are with the baby, not separate from the baby.

I’m in the thick of postnatal depression right now and I just want to hear people’s person experiences with it and hopefully hear how and when things got better for people?

I had my little boy just over two weeks ago, best thing ever. Is it normal to feel really shitty in myself and when I look in the mirror I just feel really unattractive, self conscious, very sensitive and just not like what I see?🫣

I have 2 under 2. My daughter is 21 months and my son is 11 weeks. My husband and I have had increased arguments since having my son. My postpartum emotions are largely to blame.

I have days when my energy is at zero, and I use those moments to rest. Then, there are days when I get a burst of energy and confidence, and I take full advantage of it—cleaning, organizing, running errands, and even doing something for myself that doesn’t involve sleeping. But then, there are days like today, when...

I have been looking forward to handing my baby off to anyone who wants her now that she has her first round of vaccines. She was held by people other than my partner and I when she was newborn but she was mostly asleep. Somehow she is always grumpy when we have new people around (I don’t think she has colic she defi...

I don't like my mom that much, but she's a big part of my life and she adores my two baby boys. I get so paranoid that the way i truly feel about her might come back around and haunt me when my babies are older and i become their least favorite person...or that i just need to forgive her, i mean i have forgiven her,...

So I’m a religious/spiritual person. I don’t necessarily tie myself to one religion but I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and believe in God. I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant and have a 4 year old. my bf claims he believes in God and reads a bible verse and prays everyday, but he doesn’t apply any of...
