I care about my child but I don’t feel like I love her. I don’t feel a bond with her. Im always anxious to sleep because Im scared that when I gts she’ll wake up. I don’t really sleep anymore even when she is sleep and I haven’t really had an appetite since I gave birth. Funny because my birthday is coming up and ho...
Hi guys, just wanted to know if it’s normal for my 5-6 week old to be losing little amounts of hair? It’s never happened before but I woke up this morning and her next to me crib had hair in it ☹️ x
Help I'm really struggling. My 8 month old gets very upset when we see family and it results in a lot of comments which upsets me as I feel she's judged unfairly. She's brilliant with her swim teacher, at nursery, play groups etc, to the point we get strangers come up to us because she's so smiley towards them. P...
Hey, I had my baby just over 2 weeks ago (also had stitches for 2nd degree tear) and the original stinging when peeing after birth went for a few days but now it seems to be back! I saw a midwife at the weekend and she checked stitches which looked fine and checked for UTI which was also negative. Has anyone else ha...
For me postpartum
Hi, I’m a FTM and I knew hair loss after having a baby was a thing, but I feel like this is something else… I do have thick hair so I do usually lose a little bit when brushing or washing it but recently when I wash my hair I block the drain and when I brush my hair it nearly fills the hair brush. I have even tried ...
Hi I’m in a mentally abusive relationship Is there anyone with similar experience and would like to meet go for coffee and talk ? Second part of that post How did you get yourself and your child out of this situation I’m struggling with finding help There is a lot of “talk” but not much actual help
I'm not just talking about my baby girl.... it's me! I have such intense separation anxiety! If I can't see her or if someone takes her out of the room I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. I know it's common and I know many other mums also feel this and struggle with this, I just never thought I would. I do...

Is everyone's baby got attitude? The looks she gives me! She used to be such a happy baby but now I feel like I have a teenager, constantly frowning, getting frustrated etc
I was induced this past Thursday and then had to have a c section… it was super scary and I went through it! My MIL had a baby when she was younger that ended up passing away from a similar situation and they didn’t do the c section.. we will call the baby Sara… The day after I had my baby MIL came to the hospit...
My baby is 9 weeks and we fell down the stairs yesterday at home :( this has been one of my biggest fears and I always hold onto the rail but I was distracted. My baby had his vaccines the day before so he has been poorly and sad, just in that moment he was smiling so I just got distracted by that and one of my slip...
Our baby girl is now 2.5 weeks. Those first two weeks were hard enough navigating a newborn and such a huge life adjustment, but since my partner has gone back to work this week everything is so much worse. The main issue being that she just will not settle at night. She is such a gassy baby and we have tried ever...
I’m just starting the postpartum hair loss :( Any tips or breastfeeding friendly products to keep hair nice and healthy?
I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice, sympathy, or someone to tell me to snap out of it, but I think I'm struggling. Atm, I work part-time 3 days, and my 1yo daughter is in daycare for 4 days. On that day to myself I often try to do things like clean the house and food shopping, plus maybe squeeze in something fo...
Anyone else have a super fast orgasm after birth… like faster than before? 😯

Today, I was in the elevator with a mom and her children. I became excited and started crying. I apologized to her, thinking maybe it was just my hormones. When I arrived home, I felt horrible and ashamed.
Has anyone experienced an infected incision wound and an increase in vaginal bleeding so that it's suddenly very heavy. 4 weeks postpartum and had thought I was healing up!
Since having children do you get anxious or worried something will happen to you and you won’t be there to see them grow up
