Let’s say he’s gone made ur pregnancy miserable and u always had to beg for him to help. Now babies here and he dissapeared for a month so far would you just leave it alone and raise your child on your own. What if he comes back would you give him access to your child regardless? I’m concerned with him eventually s...

I'm due this week and would love to get some insight from mamas who have recently had their babies on more of the positive aspects. I'm feeling really overwhelmed from people in my life 'doomcasting.' I keep being told my "life is over", "you won't be able to do the things you enjoy anymore", "good luck with sleep...

My son is 7 weeks old, I’m 7 weeks postpartum and I just lost my grandfather. I am a mess. I can barely focus on anything. I’m so anxious and I’m constantly crying. My significant other is 100% holding it down in regards to taking care of our son and we are also staying at his mothers house. We needed the help. I’ve...

My little girl was born at 34+4 and spent just over two weeks in NICU back in November I was referred to the perinatal team and was due to have my first appointment with them on Thursday just gone which they cancelled as it was “necessary” and said they’d write to me with a new date in due course this has really ang...

I’m four months pp now and I’m REALLY starting to lose a lot of hair, any help or tips?!🧐🥴

I wanted this baby SO BAD and now that she’s here and the initial euphoria has worn off I am really struggling. I am crying everyday. Feel like my life is over. Almost mad at her that she is r”ruining “ everything. My husband voiced the same thing today which was surprising to me. Is this normal? We are only 1.5 wee...

*long one* i found out i was pregnant last january, and moved in with my partner & his mum at the time. at the beginning this were great, we all got along, it wasn’t until i hit around 15 weeks everything went downhill. i was physically and mentally neglected by my partner the whole pregnancy. he spent so much t...

Hi girls, My husband lost one of his close friends at a very early age a couple of days ago days ago. He is understandably in bits, I didn’t know the friend very well at all but is it normal that I am so unbelievably upset? Like honestly looking at my husband right now makes me want to burst out crying (obviously ...

Im struggling. I’m filled with rage and sadness. I’m tired of feeling this way. I’m supposed to be happy for my baby but I’m just faking it till i make it rn. I have to wait another week to go back to the doctors for my meds since they just increased them. Idk what to do. I just want to sleep and not wake up again b...

I don’t think a lot of people really talk about mental health and pregnancy. I am currently lowering my Sertraline dose to make sure baby can be as healthy as possible but this means increase in low moods, not being able to think clearly and now affecting work. I feel so guilty taking the time I need by pausing an...

One was pregnant , we were friends but not very close, I was single at that time, but always dreamt about family and kids...her pregnancy was hard and she asked me once if I want child, I said of course and then she moan is really hard to be pregnant and maybe I don't need this...i...

Don't get me wrong, I love my baby more than life itself and am in awe of her every day. But I really miss how my life was before she got here. I miss how my relationship was with my partner (we're working great as a team now, but I'm meaning the spontaneity that comes with having free time together!), I miss my job...

I just want to divorce my man or just kill myself. I feel that he's always bullying me or making fun of me, or he's always too tired to help with a frkn diaper, or he's too bother to bring me water when I wake up 3 to 5 times at night to nurse our newborn without waking him up or asking 4 any help. I just can't with...

Would I be a bad wife if I got my husband a mistress? I’m really considering it, he pushed me way over the line with his disrespect to me so instead of “secretly” screenshotting females thinking I don’t know about it I am really thinking of finding him a mistress and if she can get him to do anything with her I’ll l...

I think I might be struggling with a mild form of ppd. I feel like I have lost a little bit of myself over the last few months and unfortunately it is the part that was quick to laughter and a smile. I notice my partner trying to make me smile and I honestly can’t manage it. I don’t necessarily feel sad but I don’t ...

I am having the absolute worst time with postpartum anxiety, it hits me like a freight train at the most random times, causing panic attacks, profuse crying, making me feel sick to my stomach. I really hate this and I need it to just go away…

Y’all it’s real. What am I supposed to do 😂😭. 7 weeks postpartum and it kept me sane

MIL has texted my hubby and told him she was crying because of two things. 1) Her other son doesn’t want her visiting him in his country. 2) I am not allowing her to be involved in my pregnancy. He has asked me to let her be involved even though he knows how overbearing, controlling and disrespectful she was dur...

Any mamas currently experiencing Braxton hicks contractions? I am 33 weeks pregnant and I’ve recently started getting the tightening of the belly and mild period like cramps.. also curious to find out if it eventually goes away..

I've struggled really bad with my mental health post patrum. My partner picks and chooses when he wants to be supportive. Which makes it worse because I don't have any family or friends so when he chooses to not support me I literally am alone in this sadness. To make it worse I found messages between him and his ...
