I feel like a horrible mom. I got upset with my son when I was trying to change his diaper and I yelled at him. He wouldn’t lay still and kept trying to take it off as I was trying to put it on. He looked so scared. I’m such a horrible person. I never thought I would ever yell at him.

lol this pregnancy is really hard, dealing with spots on my face + back and now really dry knotty hair 😮‍💨

Just found out I’m pregnant again 5 months postpartum

Is anyone experiencing PP Hair Loss? I'm starting to go bald at the sides slowly. Big chunks of hair is coming out every time I brush my hair or just casually run my fingers through my hair. What are people using or doing to support it?

Long story short, I have a girlfriend that had her baby just 4 months after me. From pregnancy up until now, she's been messaging me to ask me everything and ESPECIALLY for products that I bought for my baby. Shes been pretty much asking me the weirdest most irrelevant shit like 'if I invited my close relatives to m...

My mental health isn't at a good point. I've suffered from depression for a long time and it's been pretty bad the past 2 years. I cry almost every day, don't want to do things, either over eat or don't eat at all, don't want to talk or be around people... I'm in counseling but wondering if I should be seen more. Be...

As someone who (thankfully) has never had to grieve the loss of someone close to me, I am finding since becoming a mum I am really struggling with the fear of mortality. Not so much the death of myself, but the death of those around me. I am just curious to know whether anyone else has experienced this and any copin...

Hello, I’m due with a boy here in a few weeks & the topic of circumcision has come up a few times with my husband and I. He’s circumcised & wants our son to be circumcised as well. I’ve been doing a lot of research about it & how it can reduce the chance of UTI & Phimosis and that getting it later in life is more da...

I still have lower back pain constantly throughout the day and it worsens by night with movement. I am doing core exercises my PT has given me. Is it a cause of concern to have lower back pain even at 5 months postpartum ? Should I ask my doctor to do MRI ? Please help if anyone else on similar boat.

I’m struggling a lot with my emotions at night in specific when my partner is asleep and I’m look after my 4 week old. I find myself crying a lot, is there anything that people did to calm themselves down or cheer themselves up. Any advice would be helpful

Anyone else just had a horrendous time from the minute their child was born? Pregnancy was pretty easy but everything since then has been a constant uphill battle. Two tongue tie divisions, consistently painful breastfeeding, won't take bottles of expressed milk or formula milk, reflux, won't sleep in her own cot, w...

I feel like Im going insane. My 10 month old has become very very very clingy. To the point that I can’t get anything done. If I to the bathroom she screams and cries until I come back. The house is now always a mess, laundry is piling up, I haven’t cooked dinner in days, just eating take out because I can’t get mys...

So when my daughters turned 1 i requested for early intervention just because i noticed they were a little behind on things. As they got older it became more apparent they were behind in speech and other things. Their speech therapist doesn’t have any other ruling besides autism and that i should get them tested whi...

My sweet 4mo got sun burnt today 😭. How do I treat it? Also has this happened to anyone else. I’m feeling absolutely awful that I let this happen.

I am literally holding it together mentally for others. And I'm tired. Haven't been taking a certain med of mine for med change reasons and the triggers of passive suicidal ideation is so fucking real. As I'm typing this now, I'm crying and my heart is racing. Mentally I'm starting to check out and not really care w...

I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety my entire life plus ptsd since I was 16. I'm having a lot of issues with my mental health.

Heyy ladies.. okay so what are we doing about bump touching, even if permission is asked? So far only my sister has asked and I’ve said no. My mil asks if baby’s kicked yet I say no and that it’s asleep, even if it has kicked but I just don’t want anyone to touch my bump I’m just so over protective due to my loss la...
