My daughter’s dad and I have had some fallings out over the past year. It’s been at its worst since baba has been here. He claims it’s stress related and will change his ways, but this is the 3rd time this has been said now. When is enough truly enough.

So lately I just haven’t been feeling myself even when I actually put a little effort into getting myself ready I just haven’t been feeling pretty. On Easter my husband and I went to Home Depot after church and I told him I would meet him inside and I went to go look at the plants outside. When I walked in I felt li...

I dropped my daughter off at the gym day care this morning, we’ve been doing so well she gets a little nervous but doesn’t cry anymore. But today about 15 mins into my workout they called saying that my daughter had been crying for over 10 minutes and kept saying “mommy” and they tried everything to get her to calm ...

Hi, I’m really struggling with HG, can’t keep any food down, on medication and unable to function at all. Has anyone found anything that helps? My toddler has also told me I’m “annoying” as I can’t play with him as much 😢 any advice welcome

I have gone back and forth about posting on here, and I have finally decided to. I have struggled with depression most of my life. I have had lots of ups and downs with my mental health while being pregnant. I am on Prozac. I have been struggling lately and having a hard time finding hope. For more background, I h...

I'm 35 weeks, and Holy Moly, the back ache is unreal! I never experienced this with my girls, but I am in literal agony anytime I am not led down! How are you all coping? Is this a sign that things are moving along? I know it's early, but my other two came early and very quickly, so we are on high alert 🙈

Have any of yall had post partum? My husband said im not the same any more & im getting worse. I can tell I have it but it doesn’t seem that bad . What can I do to help myself with out a therapist.

Someone please save my sanity. My baby just whinges, cries and is grumpy all day. Its been 4 weeks of this now and I can’t cope. I don’t know whats wrong or what to do anymore. Is this normal or should i be taking her to see someone?

Please tell me I am not alone with struggling with 3year old behaviour. It is actually making me feel like a really bad mum as I end up shouting, and we both start crying I will say that we are have lost her nan in the last few weeks and we've tried to explain that, I think she realises she's missing and trying to...

I’m struggling so much at the moment with anxiety. Every waking moment is spent worrying about something to do with my little boy. I either worry about an illness, or that he’s drinking enough or weeing enough and I feel like it’s affecting my bond with him because I’m in a constant state of anxiousness. Even feedin...

Snapped at my mum when the baby was crying because she offered “want me to hold her?” Made me feel inadequate or like I was failing to calm my own baby, when she was really just trying to help. Has this happened to anyone?

Mums with your first child.. what are you going to do when the time comes? So I’m currently pregnant with my second and my 1st is 4 yo, it’s just me and hubby, no village. Hubby’s family is overseas. This bub is due 5th of July but we’re getting a planned c-section. I’m an only child and my mum is in her 70s ...

We were so over the moon to be pregnant with our second after our little boy. Especially to find out it’s a girl. However we make HUGE babies (measuring 2 weeks ahead). Everything the last 4/5 months has just been pain. I have pre existing conditions as well and the support from the NHS and my doctors has been appal...

I’m so depressed atm 4m pp and I can’t do it. I have no one to tell cause I don’t wanna worry them or don’t want people thinking I can’t cope, but the only thing that stoping me from ending it is my baby boy to the point I don’t want anyone to take him for a few hours or babysit for the day cause I’m scared I’d do s...

I feel like I may have always suffered with anxiety, but having children has definitely heightened it, and I feel like it had started to affect my relationship with them

Anyone got any products or tips to help with postpartum hair loss?

How is everyone dealing with the post partum hair loss?? I can’t describe how much I am shedding - just clumps and clumps everywhere! At this rate I’ll be bald in a couple weeks! I’m taking collagen and hair vitamins, but any other tips greatly appreciated because I’m fed up of finding hair everywhere- on the floor...

16 months old and my god I love this little boy more than life itself but I find this mum life so hard! And then feel incredibly guilty for finding it hard!
